Green parties are commonly seen as strong proponents of wind power. This paper presents an alternative view, examining data from the highly decentralized institutional setup in Sweden where approval of wind power applications is delegated to local governments. I demonstrate that the approval...

A firm energy market for Colombia is presented. Firm energy—the ability to provideenergy in a dry period—is the product needed for reliability in Colombia’s hydrodominatedelectricity market. The firm energy market coordinates investment in newresources to assure that sufficient firm energy...

We argue that a capacity market is needed in most restructured electricitymarkets, and present a design that avoids problems found in the early capacitymarkets. The proposed market only rewards capacity that contributes toreliability as demonstrated by its performance during hours in which there...

The aim of the article is analysis of effects of organizational changes of Jihočeská energetika, joint stock company. This company accomplished the necessary steps to transform into new organization - the E.ON Group in Czech Republic. Liberalization of electricity market in Czech Republic saw...

Entre diciembre de 2020 y junio de 2021, los precios mayoristas de la electricidad casi se duplicaron en España. De acuerdo con las estimaciones presentadas en este documento, una parte significativa de este aumento —alrededor del 20?%— vendría explicado por el encarecimiento observado, en...

Several European countries have decided to phase out coal power generation. Emissions from electricity generation are already regulated by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), and in some countries like Germany the phaseout of coal will be accompanied with cancellation of emissions allowances....

Machine learning and agent-based modeling are two popular tools in energy research. In this article, we propose an innovative methodology that combines these methods. For this purpose, we develop an electricity price forecasting technique using artificial neural networks and integrate the novel...

Wind and solar energy are often expected to fall victim to their own success: the higher their share in electricity production, the more their revenue on electricity markets (their “market value”) declines. While in conventional power systems, the market value may converge to zero, this...
