Can a network congestion-optimised grid connection queue reduce balancing costs?

McCallion, Alex - 2026

The UK has committed to ambitious targets for clean power. A key constraint in achieving these targets is how quickly renewable energy generators can connect to the transmission network. To address this, new policies (including CNDM, SSEP, and the CP30 Action Plan) are being introduced to reform...

Renewable investment and electricity rationing : evidence from South Africa

Liebensteiner, Mario; Paha, Johannes - 2026

Chronic electricity shortages constrain growth and welfare in many developing countries, where load shedding rations demand. Intermittent renewables can ease shortages, but their effects depend on how infeed timing aligns with scarcity. Using high-frequency data from South Africa and an...

Coal, weather shocks, and electricity reliability : evidence from South Africa

Imelda; Srinivasan, Suchita - 2026

Can weather shocks undermine energy security in coal-dependent economies? Using matched high-resolution rainfall data at South Africa's coal power plants and their contracted supplier mines-where coal accounts for about 80% of electricity generation-we estimate how upstream rainfall shocks...

Risk structure and financial hedging in nodal electricity markets

Yang, Daniel - 2026

Since the deregulation of electricity markets in the 1990s, U.S. power grids have witnessed the creation of an increasingly diverse suite of financial instruments designed to mitigate risks caused by underlying generation and consumption patterns. However, the nature of risks is shifting rapidly...
