In this paper we study the potential effects of Real Time Pricing (RTP) of electricity to the need of long-run capacities in the Nordic power markets. A characteristic of the Nordic power market is the large variety of production technologies of which hydro and nuclear power are capacity...

Emissions trading systems for non-renewable and Feed-In Tariffs for renewable energy sources are currently widely in use. This study investigates how renewable targets for the Nordic power market might be achieved at the lowest possible costs. The instruments investigated are Feed-In Tariffs...

This article analyses the impact of the interplay between the demand response, wind penetration and hydropower in the Nordic power market. We develop a long-term equilibrium model in which the thermal power capacity adjusts to the zero-profit level over varying real-time pricing adoption rates...
