Egerer, Jonas; Weibezahn, Jens; Hermann, Hauke - 2015
We discuss the implications of two price zones, i.e. one northern and southern bidding area, on the German electricity market. In the northern zone, continuous capacity additions with low variable costs cause large regional supply surpluses in the market dispatch while conventional capacity...

Efficiency Analysis of German Electricity Distribution Utilities : Non-Parametric and Parametric Tests
von Hirschhausen, Christian R.; Cullmann, Astrid - 2005
This paper applies parametric and non-parametric and parametric tests to assess the efficiency of electricity distribution companies in Germany. We address traditional issues in electricity sector benchmarking, such as the role of scale effects and optimal utility size, as well as new evidence...

Regulation and investment incentives in electricity distribution: An empirical assessment
Cullmann, Astrid; Nieswand, Maria - 2015
We analyze the effects of an incentive based regulatory scheme with revenue caps on the investment behaviors and decisions of 109 electricity distribution companies operating in Germany in 2006-2012. We hypothesize that Germany's implementation of incentive regulation in 2009 has a negative...

Nuclear turn: Closing down nuclear power plants opens up prospects for the final repository site search
Kendziorski, Mario; Kemfert, Claudia; Präger, Fabian; … - In: DIW Weekly Report 11 (2021) 47, pp. 359-366
With the closure of the final six nuclear power plants, the commercial use of nuclear energy for electricity generation in Germany will come to an end in 2022. Due to the German power system's sufficient capacities-in 2020, the sector exported 20 terawatt hours (TWh), or about four percent of...

Atomwende: Abschaltung von Kernkraftwerken eröffnet Perspektiven für die Endlagersuche
Kendziorski, Mario; Kemfert, Claudia; Präger, Fabian; … - In: DIW Wochenbericht 88 (2021) 47, pp. 767-774
Mit der Abschaltung der verbleibenden sechs Kernkraftwerke geht die kommerzielle Nutzung zur Stromerzeugung in Deutschland 2022 zu Ende. Angesichts ausreichender Kapazitäten - 2020 exportierte die deutsche Stromwirtschaft mit 20 Terawattstunden ungefähr vier Prozent ihrer Stromproduktion - und...
