We set up a static model of electricity provision in which delivery to consumers is only imperfectly reliable … its social value. We also discuss the impacts of a carbon tax on supply, demand, and optimal regulation. …

sector. One of the major challenges that must be addressed is the fluctuating supply of renewable electricity. We explore the … impact of cross-border electricity transfers on both the security of electricity supply and renewable electricity expansion …. We focus on Spain and Germany due to the relative abundance of their country-specific renewable electricity sources …

major impediment to higher RES penetration often lies in the historically grown structures of a country's electricity sector … both reliable and affordable electricity. However, this focus on only two of the three horns of the energy trilemma, namely …-in into a fossil fuel future. In the last decades, several other countries have successfully restructured their electricity …

electricity prices as sustainable energy supply as wind and solar have very low or even zero marginal costs. Empirical support for … growth of low marginal costs renewable energy supply such as wind and solar influences power prices. We do so indirectly … studying Nord Pool market prices where hydro power is the dominant supply source. We argue that the marginal costs of hydro …

appro- priately constructed models for forecasting wind power and real time electricity prices, we evaluate the revenue … supply. Such a contract allows the renewable generators to engage in forward contracts in day-ahead markets with flexible … electricity for flexible loads …

Proponents of Bitcoin argue that demand for electricity from Bitcoin miners can lead to an increase in renewable … electricity capacity. We rigorously evaluate this claim by estimating a Bitcoin electricity demand curve and include this demand … curve in a long-run model of the Texas electricity market. We find that while Bitcoin mining can indeed increase renewable …

What happens to the merit order of electricity markets when all electricity is supplied by intermittent renewable … energy sources coupled with large-scale electricity storage? With near-zero marginal cost of production, will there still be … a role for an energy-only electricity market? We answer these questions both analytically and empirically for …

Renewable energy such as wind or solar power currently contributes a large share to the total German electricity supply … intermittent renewable supply affect forward premiums in German electricity markets. We contribute to the existing literature by …
