Steps for improved congestion management and cost allocation for transit

This report presents a number of quantitative analyses focusing on economic gains and losses from electricity trade, together with results of two interview rounds with stakeholders from the transmission system operators, regulators, and national producer associations in each country. Eight proposed steps for improved congestion management and cost allocation in the Nordic power market are developed. The report was produced for the Nordic Electricity Market Group, the Nordic Council of Ministers, by Ea Energy Analyses and COWI

Regional Electricity Market Design

Do current electricity market designs ensure a sufficient electricity supply at all times? This topic is currently the subject of intense debate across Europe, and several major countries such as Germany, the UK, France and Italy have decided that additional measures – so-called capacity remuneration mechanisms – are needed to supplement current market designs. This report describes and analyses the advantages and disadvantages of a range of measures proposed or currently implemented across Europe, and includes both best estimates of how the implementation of these measures will impact Nordic electricity prices as well as recommendations to the Nordic countries regarding a cost-efficient path to ensuring the Nordic security of supply
