Climate Policy Initiative - Overview CPI assesses, diagnoses, and supports national efforts to achieve low-carbon growth. Our research looks at implemented policy rather than policy design. We want to understand the impact of institutions, finance, and private firms on policy and program effectiveness. Our presence in key countries allows us to compare policies across nations.
Market design compatible with renewable integration Use grid across Europe effectively to lower costs and emissions Match physical reality to ensure continuity for contracts for investments for innovation European Objectives Energy for European Provision power system: secure economic Smart economical secure grid Network sustainable Demand response Storage Generation Create transparency to decide on and communicate grid expansions Operate DC lines to support European market Shield RE projects from grid delays Effective power market design necessary, not sufficient, to decarbonize power. Is the current design open for renewables? Karsten Neuhoff Report available at www.climatepolicyinitiative.org
The Time to Trade Wind forecasts improve 4 hours before real time: Currently trading/transmission allocation focused day ahead Many power stations/grid can respond short time But power market design limits participation of actors

Evaluation of Congestion Management Approaches Bilateral transmission rights auction Joint multicountry auction of NTC rights Multi-region day-ahead market coupling (zonal pricing) (i) Integration with domestic congestion management (ii) Joint allocation of international transmission rights (iii) Integration with day ahead energy market (iv) Integration with intraday/ balancing market (v) Transparency of congestion management No No No No No No Yes No No No No (only at zonal level) Possible Yes No No Nodal pricing Yes Yes Yes Possible Yes Source: Congestion Management in European Power Networks: Criteria to Assess the Available Options, Neuhoff, Hobbs, Newbery
Smart Grids - Institutional and Energy Market Aspects Is the current design open for renewables? It s all about Time Align auction time frames with forecast quality Create a joint auction for linked energy products and Space Use market to allocate access to scarce transmission (and compensate / hedge with financial transmission contracts) Unlock flexibility of network with nodal pricing and obviously System Security ISO to host information and responsibility
