Economists at the Université Paris-Dauphine discussed decentralized energy. They stressed how the economic environment for energy utilities is changing in Europe and the US. In this post, we want to focus on one specific aspect that was raised by Prof. Newbery from Cambridge University in his presentation. He summarized six key principles that can be used to define an efficient market design. And we will dive deeper into each of these principles to develop a better understanding of the fundamental arguments and implications behind each principle. The general set of rules should be defined in Europe to secure interoperability of markets, but detailed rules Regional flexibility markets can serve as an example for such a regional differentiation of the market design, as we have discussed in this post for the EU and this post in Germany, he says. But regional flexibility markets are of particular importance in systems with increasing shares of distributed renewable generation that is connected to the low voltage distribution grids. that is of power generation.
