Themes
How network regulation is changing to reflect different priorities for the networks so that incentive regulation can work alongside growth in electricity networks and reduced demand for gas.
Wholesale market reforms to get to net zero. How would a shift to locational pricing make net zero cheaper and quicker?
Potential changes required to support low-carbon power generation as the market evolves to a fully decarbonized energy system and design of support schemes that keep such costs to a manageable level.
Electricity rates design; increasingly these rates are becoming price signals impacting on actual consumer decisions, both in terms of adoption technologies as wells as in using those. An improved cost reflective rate design is vital to avoid unnecessary investments in the power system and spur electrification while avoiding unwanted distributional consequences.
How to achieve affordability and distributional fairness in the net zero energy transition and avoid a regressive distribution of cost. Can a competitive market help consumers through the net zero transition by providing new services to end users, while also protecting those consumers that cannot yet afford to participate in the energy transition?
