Abstract
Conference objective:
Electricity markets in both Europe and the United States are experiencing great challenges and opportunities. The challenges are due to the variability of variable renewables such as wind and solar PV which complicate ensuring the balance of demand and supply at all times. The opportunities are mainly due to the greatly improved capabilities for demand side management (DSM). Compared to Europe, the United States have a broader range of regulatory regimes that are experimenting with different solutions.
The Chaire European Electricity Markets (CEEM), therefore, looks forward to have Graham Weale present the latest US developments to see whether they contain any lessons for European electricity markets.
