Cross-border electricity interconnectors in the EU : the status quo

Brunekreeft, Gert; Meyer, Roland - 2018

An important goal of the European Commission is the promotion of the internal energy market (here specifically electricity), which requires sufficient and adequate cross-border interconnector capacity. However, cross-border interconnector capacity is scarce and, more importantly, the progress of...

Restructuring European electricity markets : a panel data analysis

Hyland, Marie - 2015

This paper looks at the restructuring of European electricity markets that has been taking place since the 1990s. This liberalisation process, driven largely by EU legislation aiming to create a single market for electricity, has led to significant changes in how electricity markets in member...

The legal configuration of hydrocarbon infrastructure

Astoria, Ross - Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis - 2016

The United States' greenhouse gas mitigation strategy decentralizes mitigation responsibility to the states and states have primary regulatory jurisdiction over electrical power utilities. Using the biophysical approach, this paper introduces the notion of hydrocarbon infrastructure. Focusing on...

Evaluation of strategy of power generation business under large-scale integration of renewable energy

Brunekreeft, Gert; Buchmann, Marius; Hattori, Toru; … - 2016 - March 29, 2016

The German energy transition massively alters the market structure of electricity supply and forces incumbent electric utilities to rethink their business strategies. We analyze three main developments that undermine the former market dominance of the “Big 4” incumbents in Germany. First,...

Complementary bidding mechanisms and startup costs in electricity markets

Reguant, Mar - 2014

I extend multi-unit auction estimation techniques to a setting in which firms can express cost complementarities over time. In the context of electricity markets, I show how the auction structure and bidding data can be used to estimate these complementarities, which in these markets arise due...

Combining energy networks : the impact of Europe's natural gas network on electricity markets until 2050

Abrell, Jan; Gerbaulet, Clemens; Holz, Franziska; … - 2013

The interdependence of electricity and natural gas is becoming a major energy policy and regulatory issue in all jurisdictions around the world. The increased role of gas fired plants in renewable-based electricity markets and the dependence on gas imports make this issue particular striking for...

A capacity market for electricity sectors with promotion of renewable energy

Schäfer, Sebastian; Schulten, Lisa - 2014

A capacity mechanism next to the energy-only market provides necessary investment incentives that spot markets lack. The adequate capacity mix can only be achieved by accounting for the current transition phase to electricity generation with a growing share of renewables. We show that an...

How to determine whether regional markets are integrated? : theory and evidence from European electricity markets

Gebhardt, Georg; Höffler, Felix - 2008

Prices may differ between regional markets if transport capacities are limited. We develop a new approach to determine to which extent such differences stem from limited participation in cross-border trader rather than from bottlenecks. We derive a theoretical integration benchmark for the...
