This paper provides an empirical assessment of the impact of rising gas and carbon prices on European electricity prices. Using a comprehensive data set of hourly power market data of 14 European countries, we estimate the impact of gas and carbon prices on electricity prices for the years 2018...

The European Union's plan for climate neutrality by 2050 reopens the question of the role carbon pricing can and should play. Carbon pricing should not - and ultimately cannot - only be an enforcement tool or backstop that ensures targets are met, while the heavy-lifting of decarbonisation comes...

Middle East and North Africa (MENA) gas exporters are facing long-term market and regulatory challenges in Europe. The near three-year continuous decline in Europe’s gas demand since the beginning of the Ukraine crisis is a key challenge for these exporters who are concerned about whether this...

This paper determines the convenience yield implied in the European natural gas markets and investigates driving factors and according dynamics. For this, we approximate the convenience yield via an option-based approach, in which the convenience yield is determined as the difference between two...

We analyze the relation between European natural gas storage facilities and price patterns at major trading points, considering the theory of storage to derive a testable hypothesis imposed by the non-arbitrage condition. To model the efficiency of the natural gas market, we apply two indirect...

We explore the impact of an EU-wide nuclear phase-out by 2030 provided the EU energy and climate policy for 2030 is implemented. Using a numerical simulation model of the European energy industry (LIBEMOD), we find that a complete nuclear phase-out in Europe by 2030 has a moderate impact on...
