Electricity Market Design

Electricity markets provide the architecture for efficiently balancing supply and demand, co-ordinating operational decisions and signalling investment needs. As electricity systems undergo rapid structural change, new challenges are emerging in how to adapt market designs to evolving system needs.

In a new report, Electricity Market Design: Building on strengths, addressing gaps, the IEA provides analysis of how wholesale electricity market designs and policy mechanisms surrounding them are supporting electricity system objectives across Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia.

This online event will present the report’s key results and implications, followed by time for questions.
