Second, flexibility values are computed based on these price time series using operation models. Our case study for 2030 for Europe demonstrates the high value of decentral flexibility provided especially by bidirectional flexibility options. The mean daily price spread is found to be a main driver for all flexibility values. We observe similar flexibility values across most nodes in both market designs. However, for a distinct subset of nodes that represent close to 10% of total demand, substantially higher values of local flexibilities are observed which indicates a markedly higher demand for flexibility. Yet, the zonal market design only provides imperfect incentives for the system-oriented operation of flexibilities at these nodes. Besides the introduction of nodal pricing as first-best option, we propose to consider tailored instruments focusing on these flexibility hot spots as second-best policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 114396"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While large companies would pay hefty premiums for local power production, SMEs impute more importance to the type of technology. However, long-term commitments and the complexity of contractual obligations are major drawbacks. While our findings show that CPPAs have the potential to play an important role in complementing public support for renewables, they also point to the need to implement framework conditions that contribute to lowering risks and complexity for counterparties.

Leveraging a unique dataset of 1015 lease transactions and 478 sale transactions, this study provides one of the first estimates of how EPC labels impact retail value.

Capital premiums for energy-efficient transactions are more marginal and complex, particularly when accounting for data limitations such as geographic distribution. The nexus between sustainability and financial benefits incentivizes investors and policymakers to embrace energy-efficient measures.

Analyzing foreign exchange risk of energy trading among SIESUR member countries reveals substantial financial costs hindering electricity integration. Energy importing countries, facing greater exposure of their local currencies and weakened bargaining power, are particularly vulnerable. A Monte Carlo simulation model, using historical exchange rate data, highlights significant currency volatility, emphasizing the substantial foreign exchange risk exposure within SIESUR. Notably, cost overruns of energy imports due to foreign exchange risk exposure can reach 12.6% of transaction value. Through a global analysis, potential strategies for risk management are explored to foster electricity exchange expansion.
