Enhanced National electricity market designs for Great Britain

A recent study by AFRY finds that an enhanced national market design could deliver positive benefits with limited downside risk in the UK.

AFRY has developed two market design options for improved operational efficiency within an enhanced national market, and quantitatively compared the potential benefits with zonal market alternatives. The study found that improved arrangements for interconnectors, small-scale and storage assets within a national market could deliver significant operational efficiency gains. The potentially higher operational efficiency gains in a zonal market could be wiped out by small increases in investment risk, and are at greater risk from delays to implementation, and the possible political outcome of EU negotiations.
