Goal of electricity markets:Reliable electricity at least cost
Short-run efficiency
Least-cost operation of
existing resources
Long-run efficiency
Right quantity and mix of resources
![Page 3: Renewables and electricity market design...• Electricity good example of the power of market design – Highly efficient spot market – Supporting extensive forward contracting](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052010/601fc600b292d829c01ff68a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Challenges of electricity markets
• Must balance supply and demand at every instant
• Physical constraints of network and resources
• Shocks in supply– Transmission line or generator
outage– Intermittent resources: wind and
solar• Absence of demand response• Climate policy

A successful market design
• Get the spot market right– Day ahead
• Scheduling and unit commitment
– Real time• Bid-based security constrained
economic dispatch• Forward trade to manage risk and
support long-run investment

Day-ahead market
Unit commitment and scheduling
Energy and ancillary services each hour of day
Prices for energy and reserves;
financially binding
Three-part offers from fossil resources
Startup cost
Minimum-energy cost
Energy offer curve
Virtual offers and bids
Arbitrage day-ahead and real-
time markets
Objective: maximize social welfare
s.t. transmission and resource constraints
Co-optimized energy and
reserves
Competitive equilibrium with
locational marginal prices (marginal value
of energy at each location)

Day-ahead market
• If total cost of unit not covered by energy & reserve revenue, then unit gets make-whole payment for shortfall
• Make-whole payments small in practice• LMPs are approximate supporting prices
Handling non-convexities, such as
startup and minimum energy costs
• Allows small generators to optimally schedule• Allows small participants to hedge real-time riskProcompetitive

Operating plan and
adjustment period
• Generator submits operating plan for each resource– Online/offline, constraints
• Until 60 minutes before operating hour, plan can be adjusted
• System operator may commit additional resources for reliability, but these have a high offer floor ($1500/MWh)

Ancillary services
Address supply/demand uncertainty:• Regulation: online, responds in second
• Reg up, Reg down to maintain frequency of 60 Hz• Responsive reserve: online, 10min response• Non-spinning reserve: offline, 30min response
Need for reserves depends on market;products and quantities reviewed periodically

Real-time market
Security constrained economic dispatch
Determines optimal dispatch and prices every five minutes
Financially and physically binding
Allows efficient settlement from forward positions

Shortage pricing
• Reserves have value in avoiding load shedding
• Marginal value of reserves depends on– Value of Lost Load, e.g.
$9000/MWh– Probability of Lost Load, e.g. 1 when
start shedding load• Load’s implicit preference for reliability
given by operating reserve demand curve

Forward contracts
• Forward contracts are essential to manage risk– California energy crisis 2000-2001– Forward provides hedge for load– Generator + fuel contract provides physical
hedge for supply• Shortage pricing motivates forward contracts• Forward contracting improves bidding
incentives

Capacity market
• ERCOT is “energy only”; many others have a capacity market (PJM, ISO-NE, …)
• Good capacity markets rely on shortage pricing, just like energy-only market
• Buy enough in advance– Conducted several years in advance, so
new entry can compete before costs are sunk
– Product is ability to deliver energy during shortage
– Strong performance obligation• Financial obligation to provide energy
during shortage• Provides hedge to load from shortage
prices– Coordinated investment to ensure
adequate resources

• Last year 60% of new capacity in US is wind and solar
• Coal hasn’t been built in years• Intermittent supply, zero
marginal cost, no inertia– More uncertainty, worse
price formation, faster response needed
– Also best sites not where load is; transmission issues
• Today’s design easily handles moderate share of wind

Solution looking forward
• But what if >80% renewable• Core design still works well• More flexibility needed
– Demand response(smart homes)
– Battery storage
Need to encourage technology-neutral solutions!

![Page 38: Renewables and electricity market design...• Electricity good example of the power of market design – Highly efficient spot market – Supporting extensive forward contracting](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052010/601fc600b292d829c01ff68a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Greater need for flexibility ⇒efficient price signals increasingly important
• Nodal pricing– Price reflects scarcity at time and location– Pretending no congestion does not work
• German redispatch cost of €1.5 billion in 2018• Wrong price signal; poor location incentives
• Shortage pricing– Motivate those to provide flexibility

Enable demand response with good
default retail contract
• Each customer has smart meter
• System operator estimates demand of customer
• System operator buys forward estimated demand
• Real-time deviations settled at real-time price
• Customer can opt out of default

Incoherent and unstable
climate policy
• Policy built on myriad of changing subsidies and emission restrictions makes planning difficult
• Uncertainty harms investment• Policy based on carbon price would greatly
reduce uncertainty• Carbon price is a critical input in investment
and retirement decision
![Page 41: Renewables and electricity market design...• Electricity good example of the power of market design – Highly efficient spot market – Supporting extensive forward contracting](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052010/601fc600b292d829c01ff68a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Carbon dividend (pending US legislation)
• Carbon price, increasing each year until goal met• Revenue rebated back to citizens• Replaces inefficient regulations• Carbon border adjustments for reciprocityWidely supported (4-1 overall)Good basis for climate club e.g. US, Europe, and China

Conclusion
• Electricity good example of the power of market design– Highly efficient spot market– Supporting extensive forward
contracting– Competitive retail market to foster
demand response• Good governance remains important
to make sure market design continues to improve and addresses new challenges like the transition to renewables
