Compensation for indirect carbon costs – Impacts on electricity efficiency, production and emissions
The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) leads to higher electricity prices and thus higher costs for electricity-intensive industries in the EU, reducing their competitiveness compared to those in non-EU countries.
Feed-in Tariffs, Intermittency, and Inefficient Investment
Feed-in tariffs (FiTs) have been instrumental in expanding renewable electricity generation but can distort investment by insulating producers from market price volatility. This paper develops a twostage model of electricity markets with stochastic demand and supply shocks, showing that a higher share of intermittent renewable generation increases electricity price volatility and lowers the market value of intermittent output.
Lowest electricity price since 2020
