This paper is a contribution to assessing the Swiss energy transition, with an emphasis on the consequences of decommissioning the nuclear power plants for the electricity market and the whole economy. We expect that increased renewable generation and dema ...
Electricity market liberalization is altering pricing mechanisms in wholesale electricity markets, which will affect the effectiveness of climate and energy policies. Models used to simulate such policies must be responsive to pricing rules. We show how th ...
Understanding the economic magnitude of climate change impacts is a prerequisite for developing adequate adaptation strategies. In Switzerland, despite new climate scenarios and impacts studies, only few impacts have been monetized. Our objective is to ass ...
Energy policy needs to rely on the proper understanding of the interactions between policy instruments, consumer preferences, investment behavior, market structure, electricity supply, and the wider policy environment. This asks for appropriate modeling to ...
The Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 pursues an ambitious transition to a more renew- able and efficient energy future, combining CO2 and energy saving targets with a phase-out of nuclear electricity generation. This transition poses challenges not only for the ...
For some time, regulatory reforms in Europe have aimed at electricity market liberalisation. One of the many consequences is that increasingly spot market transactions replace long- term contracts, thus redefining the way wholesale electricity prices are f ...
Energy market liberalization is changing pricing mechanisms for wholesale electricity. This work shows that it is essential to appreciate and mirror these changes in the modeling of electricity markets for policy assessment. We develop a framework composed ...
