We revisit key elements of European power market design with respect to both short term operation and longer-term investment and re-investment choices. For short term markets, the European policy debate focuses on the definition of common interfaces, like for example gate closure time. We argue...

In Germany and beyond, various capacity mechanisms are currently being discussed with a view to improving the security of electricity supply. One of these mechanisms is a strategic reserve that retains generation capacity for use in times of critical supply shortage. We argue that strategic...

Der deutsche Atomausstieg in 2022 und die gleichzeitig stetig steigende Stromerzeugung durch fluktuierende Wind- und Sonnenenergie heizen in Deutschland, wie in Europa, seit geraumer Zeit eine Diskussion um die Versorgungssicherheitauf dem Strommarkt an. Dabei ist völlig unklar, wie...

Zum Schutz des Klimas ergreift die Politik in Deutschland und Europa eine Vielzahl an Maßnahmen. So wird der europäische Emissionshandel durch zahlreiche Maßnahmen zur Innovationsund Investitionsförderung ergänzt, aber auch durch Informationsbereitstellung und Regulierungsmaßnahmen zur...
