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":"38 3","pages":"Article 107483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144281050","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}

Our study shows that energy resilience is absent in energy policy scholarship, or framed the other way round, energy policy scholarship is absent in the discussion of energy resilience topic. We used bibliometric analysis of literature across Scopus and ProQuest databases and applied keyword co-occurrence mapping and journal-keyword analysis techniques to assess how themes of energy resilience intersect with “community,” “disaster,” and “policy.” Our analysis reveals that energy resilience is predominantly framed within technical, systemic and infrastructural contexts, with limited interdisciplinary attention to its socio-economic, governance, and equity dimensions. Notably, resilience-related terms are underrepresented in leading policy journals, suggesting a disconnect between energy resilience as a concept and energy policy scholarship. We argue that advancing energy resilience as a structured policy agenda requires a holistic framework that integrates technical reliability with community-level resilience, institutional capacity, and justice considerations. This research provides empirical evidence of the thematic silos in the energy policy literature and offers a roadmap for incorporating energy resilience more substantively into energy policy design, implementation, and evaluation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"38 3","pages":"Article 107496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852927","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}

Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) generation with carbon capture and storage (CCS) that reduces power plant CO<sub>2</sub> emissions is one technology proposed for this purpose. However, CCS does not capture all power plant CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and does not address methane emissions that occur upstream of NGCC power plants. Furthermore, the cost of CCS is often not evaluated at capacity factors that represent likely use cases of NGCC power plants in low-carbon grids. Therefore, we evaluate the effect of uncaptured fugitive methane emissions on the climate benefits of CCS and the role of NGCC capacity factors on the economics of CCS. Accounting for time- and region-dependent methane leakage, we find that CCS reduces system-level greenhouse gas emissions between 21 % and 88 %, with remaining climate impacts being primarily due to uncaptured methane emissions. At average United States methane leakage rates of 2.95 %, CCS reduces system-level greenhouse gas emissions by 47–71 %. In addition, we estimate that CCS-related capital and operating expenditures only make CCS cost-effective at high capacity factors and in the presence of financial supports such as the California cap-and-trade program and United States 45Q tax credits. These findings highlight significant technical and economic challenges of using NGCC with CCS to achieve full grid decarbonization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"38 3","pages":"Article 107494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831558","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}

We compare drivers of increasing utility costs for three types of power providers in California: investor-owned utilities (IOUs), publicly owned utilities (POUs), and community choice aggregators (CCAs). Since 2019, the IOU and CCA residential baseline electricity rates have increased by 44–80 % after accounting for inflation, making them some of the most expensive power providers in the United States. POU prices, however, remained nearly unchanged. We compare long-term trends in capital assets, returns, and operation and maintenance expenses to identify sources of increasing utility costs, one of the factors contributing to rising electricity prices in the state. Across IOUs, generation capital assets have declined. Fuel and power purchase expenses have increased, although these increases remain within their historical ranges. Transmission and distribution (T&D) expenses have increased significantly and are the majority of overall costs. T&D operations and maintenance spiked following major wildfires after years of remaining constant despite an aging and expanding electricity grid. CCAs reach price parity with IOUs due to the high costs of T&D infrastructure and exit fees levied on them. POUs, which service smaller territories with low wildfire risks, also expanded their T&D capital assets, operations, and maintenance expenses, but the increase is modest. We foresee continued price divergence among power providers due to wildfire mitigation costs, which will have important affordability consequences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"38 3","pages":"Article 107475"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144194801","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}

Between 2025 and 2035, the country is expected to add 130–150 million new room air conditioners (ACs). If Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) continue to improve at the historical rate of 2–3 % annually, room ACs alone could contribute over 180 GW to peak electricity demand by 2035-nearly 30 % of the projected national total. This study evaluates the impact of an accelerated MEPS trajectory, proposing to raise the 1-star threshold to ISEER 5.0 by 2027, ISEER 6.3 by 2030, and ISEER 7.4 by 2033. Drawing on engineering cost analysis, stock turnover modeling, and retail pricing data, we find that this pathway could reduce peak demand by over 60 GW, save 118 TWh of electricity annually, avoid 49 MtCO₂ of electricity-related emissions per year, avert ₹7.5 trillion (∼US$85 billion) in power system investments, and yield ₹0.7–2.3 trillion (∼US$8–26 billion) in net consumer savings by 2035. Contrary to affordability concerns, empirical trends show that higher efficiency does not increase AC prices. These results highlight the value of ambitious MEPS as a cost-effective strategy for improving grid reliability, reducing emissions, and advancing consumer welfare in emerging economies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35642,"journal":{"name":"Electricity Journal","volume":"38 3","pages":"Article 107493"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003847","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}
