The role of geopolitical and climate risk in driving uncertainty in European electricity markets
This paper examines the occurrence of price bubbles in wholesale day-ahead electricity markets and investigates the impact of geopolitical and climate risk on such extreme price movements. The empirical analysis is executed for twelve major European electricity markets, namely APX (Netherlands), BPX (Belgium), EEX (Germany), EPX (United Kingdom), GME (Italy), NordPool (Finland, Norway and Sweden), OMEL (Portugal), OPCOM (Romania) and POWERNEXT (France). Our findings reveal that the probability of price bubbles increases with higher geopolitical risk and elevated air temperatures, while it decreases with greater precipitation and stronger wind speed. Specifically, a one-unit increase in geopolitical risk raises the probability of price explosiveness by 8.23%. These results underscore the urgent need for European countries to accelerate renewable energy deployment, enhance power system flexibility, and strengthen electricity market integration. Such measures are critical to achieving climate targets, protecting consumers from future energy crises, and supporting the affordable electrification of the manufacturing sector.
期刊介绍:
Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
