1 State Aid Analysis for Electricity Market Reform Richard Green and Iain Staffell Imperial College Business School 1

2 Background UK government wanted to sign a 35-year Contract for Differences with EdF for the output of Hinkley Point C per MWh ( if Sizewell C is built) EU law prohibits State Aid to industry unless it meets strict criteria Lawful objective (something worth doing) Effective (changes decisions) Proportionate (no undue profits) DG Comp of the European Commission had to investigate and decide whether it was lawful State Aid How can you investigate effectiveness unless you can predict what would otherwise have happened Imperial College Business School 2
