Almost a decade after Argentina began privatizing its railways, resolution of the conflicts between regulators, users …

We develop a stochastic two-stage optimisation model that captures the multistage nature of electricity transmission … proactive transmission planner makes investment decisions in two time periods, each time followed by a market response. This … model allows us to identify robust first-stage investments and estimate the value of information in transmission planning …

Aggressive development of renewable electricity sources will require significant expansions in transmission … infrastructure. We present a stochastic two-stage optimisation model that captures the multistage nature of transmission planning … transmission planner makes investment decisions in two time periods, each time followed by a market response. Uncertainty is …

Planning of the electricity transmission system generally focuses on the pros and cons of providing generation close to … the source of the power demand versus remote generation linked via the transmission system. Recent electricity supply …” environmental effects of electricity transmission decisions using a suite of models that combine to provide an integrated assessment. …

We ask what conditions transmission contracts increase or mitigate market power. We show that the allocation process of … transmission rights is crucial. In an efficient arbitraged uniform price auction, generators will only obtain contracts that … mitigate their market power. However, if generators inherit transmission contracts or buy them in a ‘pay-as-bid’ auction, then …

This paper discusses unregulated market-based electricity transmission investment by third parties as opposed to … regulated investment by designated transmission system operators. The analysis is set against a European and Australian …

an existing electricity transmission system. First, the analysis is done in an integrated fashion where the financial … of electricity would provide the quantity of energy demanded at an acceptable level of reliability. The question … addressed in most of the investment appraisals has been: “is this investment the least cost way to supply the electricity …

Provision of modern energy services for cooking (gaseous fuels) and lighting (electricity) is an essential component of …

This research examines households’ willingness to pay (WTP) for an improved electricity service. Households’ stated WTP … are willing to incur a 3.6% and a 13.9% increase in their monthly electricity bill for summer and winter, respectively …

In most Western countries, the power grid provides electricity more than 99% of the time. To maintain reliability at … such high levels, energy companies have to continually invest in electric transmission- and distribution systems. Since … customers of electricity cannot switch from one distribution network to another, no economic incentive exists that matches the …
