"ACM ... lijkt nog weinig idee te hebben over het in toom houden van peer-to-peer handelaren en vraagresponsaggregatoren, terwijl de hoogleraren waarschuwen voor risico’s en ongewenste neveneffecten."

[Laurent Segalen @MegaWattXinfo]

Below is a fundamental report of what’s going on in term of power markets, misconceptions and potential solutions.
Key findings: nuke and hydro (too a lesser extent) had in 2022 their worst year in decades.
Europe have used - a bit - more coal, quite more renewables, but not enough to compensate… so had to rely on gas which went berserk because of Putin.
You can twist the market rules as much as you want, when 100TWh are missing, prices will still go crazy. Marginal molecule dictates the overall price… and this reports kills a lot of stupid ideas floating around.

Now, if you want prices to go back down, pray for the rain, pray for the restart of nuke, push renewables and be energy efficient.

You can change the rules, but you can’t change the game.

Everyone should read his 1949 paper on scarcity pricing, available as a 1960 English translation

Marcel Boiteux has died, aged 101. RIP.

He was not only CEO of EdF during 20 years, but also founding father of electricity economics.

Half the questions that people had about electricity markets during last year's crisis he had answered. 70 years ago.

@JoostGreunsven @PaulGiesbertz1 @FrankBoerman @AutoriteitCM Paul, als ik het goed heb laat ons 70% rapport nu ook zien of de beperking op de interconnector of in het aanpalende af-netwerk zit. Verder eens dat dat beter kan maar daarom geven we ook prio aan de implementatie van ahc op de core-Nordic grenzen

[Lars Boelen @LarsBoelen]

Kijk! Wat een goede en moedige stap @vandebron!

Een soort saldeerboete en dat was de hoogste tijd, nu kunnen we doorbouwen aan een duurzame en eerlijke samenleving.

[Paul Giesbertz @PaulGiesbertz1]

An integrated power market requires harmonization of balancing market design. The principles, as laid down in EU rules are OK, but not always properly implemented.

Great news 📰

The TSOs of Estonia 🇪🇪, Latvia 🇱🇻 and Lithuania 🇱🇹 have agreed to synchronise their grids with the continental grid by February 2025.

Nearly one year earlier than previously foreseen.

Formal signature in the coming days 👉https://t.co/RJppGwwPDQ

We should let the whole thing go.

But that's probably too late.

So we should turn it into something useful by focusing on small-scale assets.

@BM_Visser Ik sluit me volledige bij @JoostGreunsven aan Martien: de rest van Europa kijkt met grote verbazing naar NL waarom we de saldering niet stoppen en andere maatregelen invoeren zodat productie meer op vraag-aanbod balans reageert. Het zit voor bij profiel/consument mi

[Lion Hirth @LionHirth]

Remember negative wholesale prices are always a consequence of distortive policies.

Solar power can be turned off at no cost. So why keep it running when you have to pay for producing power?

You're guessing right: to earn yourself subsidy payments.

[Paul Giesbertz @PaulGiesbertz1]

Een geïntegreerde EU elektriciteitsmarkt vraagt om harmonisatie van de onbalansmarkt. Maar dat lukt vooralsnog niet.

[Mathieu Fransen @mathieufransen]

@PaulGiesbertz1 @JoostGreunsven @nduic @LionHirth I wonder what happened that we don’t see capacity allocation applied between bidding zones as ‘the’ market based congestion manangement tool. It will manage (not solve) all structural congestions in the grid but it comes with consequences and other design changes….

[Mathieu Fransen @mathieufransen]

@bramcla But the Coupled DA market does? What market is reported here then? intraday?
