🚨Just published @mitceepr @mitenergy Critical analysis of the EC's electricity market reform proposal. Focus on 4 points i) promotion of LT contracting ii) interventions during crises iii) strategy for supplier risk mgmt iv) flex support schemes & CRMs ceepr.mit.edu/workingpaper/c…

Renewable energy is cheap - so why doesn't that feed into lower bills? Energy market reform sounds intensely boring - but it's crucial to getting bills down. Local pricing would cut bills across Britain - and slash them in the places that actually build new clean energy.

A new article @ScienceMagazine by @mitceepr @MITSloan scholars makes a welcome contribution to interconnection reform dialogue, including thoughtful discussion on connect & manage. (1/4) science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

📢What's next in Flexibility?⚡️ 🗓️Registrations are now open for our event in Ghent on 03/09 🤩Keynote speaker from Octopus UK! 💁‍♂️More info: energhentic.be/nextinflex202…

For those interested in learning more about the network subscription charges I discussed on the pod, check out this @mitceepr working paper by @SchTim1 & others ceepr.mit.edu/workingpaper/d… I also didnt get into this on the pod, but one could also offer discounted subscriptions for those who sign up for managed charging/aggregation programs that can confidently avoid local & system-wide network peaks.

Now that the EU energy crisis is winding down, the attention is slowly shifting again to one of the key electricity market design debates being locational wholesale pricing. Good to see @pcramton reminding us of the current status and way forward @eprgcambridge

Listen up everyone - every two years I recruit for a new analyst to support me in all my activities: speaking, writing, podcasting, investing and advising. It's that time again - is this your dream job? Do you know the perfect candidate? linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Highly recommended!

New paper from MIT researchers outlines how policy makers could encourage the nascent clean hydrogen industry without indirectly increasing its carbon emissions. mitsha.re/E6R350QpcBe

There's a new CS/RER survey by @CarlosBatIIe, @SchTim1, Mastropietro, & Rodilla of the design of EU electricity markets. As in North America, market design is a moving target, given so much ongoing technical and policy innovation and transformation. doi.org/10.1007/s40518-023-0…

If you made it this far, thanks! here is the paper link again (rdcu.be/dvqxh) and accompanying research briefing for a concise summary (tinyurl.com/mwfkxck5).

For all interested in the discussions of how to make sure grid-connected hydrogen production is clean (time-matching and other related discussions). New policy-relevant work out ⬇️

#ElectricVehicles (EVs) have a dark and a light side for the power sector: they may add harmful volatility and provide valuable flexibility. How can we adequately capture both in energy system models? Check out our new publication on this topic 👇 With @Jarusch1 #EnergyTwitter

Oh la la. These are the first words that come to mind when talking about the French Nuclear Fleet. That's what we did with @gerardreid14 as we invited @Kpler @Emericdevigan, one of the best specialist of the topic and former power trader @EDFofficiel With 60GW and 56 reactors, the French nuclear fleet is critical to the very existence of a European Power market as it represents 10%-15% of the electricity consumed on the continent and much larger share if you only account for zero carbon sources. And its “health” is a key component of Europe’s Security of Supply and Energy price levels. Furthermore, beyond Europe, a well-functioning French nuclear fleet reduces the need for LNG imports. 20 years ago, EDF was the most powerful utility in the world, producing 420TWh of carbon free power and about to be privatised to reach a 200bnEUR valuation. 20 years later, plagued by debt, major outages, financial losses, and poorly timed government interventions, EDF had to re-nationalised. Going forward, can Europe still rely on the French nuke fleet for Security of Supply? Can nuclear continue to provide cheap power or will it become uncompetitive? How does nuclear cope with an increasingly volatile power markets where the key word is now “Flexibility”? With Gerard and Laurent, Emeric delivers a dispassionate, clinical, and sometimes technical conversation about the future of the French nuclear fleet.

DOLPHYN, our multi-sector capacity expansion model, is now a Julia package: github.com/macroenergy/Dolph… This lets you use it directly through Julia and we will continue to make it easier to use. DOLPHYN currently models H2 and electricity - using GenX as the electricity model

The biggest hurdle to integrating the North American grid: - 4 major electric grids - 9 RTO/ISOs significant geographies with neither - 60 states/provinces All with different borders, regulatory authority, standards, rules, and incentives.
