WindEurope/EEX joint paper on electricity market design
European Energy Exchange and WindEurope welcome in a joint statement the adoption of the European Parliament’s position on the Electricity Directive and Regulation. Our organisations call now on policymakers to make the right choices in the upcoming trilogue negotiations. The reform of Europe’s electricity markets will be a success if the following elements are ensured: the phase-out of regulated prices, the recognition of future and forward markets, the grandfathering of priority dispatch and balancing regimes for existing renewables installations, a stable framework for bidding zones review and stricter rules governing on the introduction and the design of capacity mechanisms.
