However, there is a lack of knowledge about how different segments of the population want to participate in energy policies. Through a national survey we investigate how different segments of the Dutch population want to participate in local and national energy transition decision-making. We identify that citizens make decision in terms of their expected gains of participating and how much time they want to invest in participation. Some citizens only want to invest a little amount of time and as a consequence these citizens will only participate in processes with a low time investment. Second, we observe a climate concern paradox where individuals concerned about climate change often refrain from participating in formal processes due to distrust in government and perceived tokenism, preferring activism instead. Our results highlight the need for an attentive democracy where policymakers are better informed about public desires before initiating participatory processes. We introduce a novel, citizen-centric method for segmenting the population according to their participatory needs in energy transition decision-making. This approach surpasses existing typologies by aligning engagement processes more accurately with local needs, mitigating participation fatigue, and enhancing the effectiveness of participatory efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"39 2","pages":"Article 107528"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146001751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bridging a key research gap, this study develops an integrated framework linking market dynamics, revenue resilience, and system design to enable dispatchable clean power in developing economies. First, an analysis of the Indian electricity market in which Marginal Clearing Prices (MCP) (2018–2024) reveals that each 1 %age increase in market-exposed renewable penetration reduces solar-hour MCP by ₹354/MWh compared with night and t-tests indicate the solar–night hour difference increases from 1 to 6 % (2018–2019) to 41 % (2024). Second, stacking storage arbitrage with ancillary and capacity revenues offsets mid-day losses and yields financeable outcomes. Contract for difference (CfD) performs best, followed by PPAs, Hybrids, and Merchant, underscoring the need for storage and diversified revenue streams to maintain financial viability and grid reliability. The findings demonstrate that India’s decarbonisation success hinges on systemic hybridisation of market mechanisms, revenue portfolios, and multi-technology systems to align generator economics with grid reliability. This framework provides replicable pathways for emerging economies to transition toward resilient, low-carbon power grids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"39 2","pages":"Article 107526"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148553631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many recent planning missteps and policy tensions have been attributed to flawed decision-making, this paper argues that suboptimal outcomes more often emerge from the interaction between cognitive limitations, institutional constraints, and political incentives. Drawing on concepts from behavioral economics and decision analysis, the paper develops a framework for understanding four recurring vulnerabilities in electricity policy and planning: inflated expectations, “magic box” thinking, reification of simplified abstractions, and cognitive distortions such as anchoring and optimism bias. Through case studies involving electrification mandates, dispatchable emission-free resource constructs, demand response accreditation, and AI-driven data center load projections, the analysis illustrates how emerging technologies and policy ambitions can outpace technical validation, infrastructure readiness, and governance feasibility. Importantly, many analytically fragile outcomes reflect rational responses to legislative mandates and regulatory constraints rather than simple errors in judgment. The paper introduces “concept validation” as a critical yet underdeveloped discipline in electricity planning, emphasizing the need to test policy and investment assumptions under deep uncertainty. It concludes that strengthening scenario diversity, stress testing, and institutional feasibility assessment can enhance robustness without dampening innovation. By situating cognitive factors within broader political and economic contexts, the paper offers a more balanced framework for improving long-term electricity policy and system performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"39 2","pages":"Article 107550"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148183744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in terms of total surplus, the French electricity sector should have been barely hit, if at all, by the surge in fossil fuel prices during the 2022 energy crisis. In practice, however, the French government spent billions of euros in subsidies to electricity consumers, the incumbent utility – who operates the whole nuclear fleet – recorded its worst yearly financial result to date, and total electricity imports exceeded exports for the first time in more than 40 years. Although these outcomes can largely be attributed to bad luck, the extent to which they could have been mitigated through better market design and public policies is an open question. This article argues that existing policies, through their implied incentives to share and manage long-term risks, played a critical role in how France fared during the energy crisis. Consistently, reforming long-term risk-sharing mechanisms has emerged as the most pressing issue to address. Looking forward, however, updating short-term wholesale market design will likely prove increasingly important to better support a low-cost and reliable energy transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"39 1","pages":"Article 107491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148241115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the nature of the impacts that participant actions have on the operations of the broader power system are changing — for example, transmission constraints in renewable-heavy regions bind with more frequency, and the system security benefits provided by synchronous technologies become more relevant when the share of thermal generation decreases. However, the wholesale market design determines the extent to which whole-of-system costs and benefits from a participant’s actions enter their private operating incentives. This paper describes how power system constraints map to the wholesale market design behind Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). We then highlight inefficiencies stemming from pricing rules that do not accurately capture the value of transmission congestion and losses, and from an inability to co-optimize energy and system services tied to the commitment status of generating units. We use a series of cases to demonstrate why aligning the NEM’s market design with the physical realities of the power system should be a priority, with inaction to prevent the ability to operate a low-carbon grid at least-cost.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"39 1","pages":"Article 107489"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147720204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to conduct a systematic review of the environmental licensing processes for onshore and offshore wind farms in the Global North and South over the past ten years, in order to understand which legal requirements have been effective for environmental protection and what is lacking in the regulatory documents governing this type of enterprise to make it a more sustainable practice. The strategies used were: (i) the collection of information from the legislation of the analyzed countries, environmental or energy agencies, scientific publications, international agreements, technical reports, etc., and (ii) a systematic review of articles published in the last 10 years on the impacts of wind power and its licensing around the world. As a result, the main problems observed in regulation were the absence of strong and specific laws on environmental licensing, the non-mandatory nature of Environmental Impact Assessments for wind activities or small-scale wind farms, delays in the licensing process, and the dispersion of license issuance across different agencies. In conclusion, it is emphasized that standardizing the wind power licensing process with the requirement of environmental impact studies, public participation, and efficient monitoring would be an appropriate method to prevent impacts resulting from licensing failures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"38 4","pages":"Article 107513"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
