Influence of climate factors on the electricity price
an econometric analysis on the Dutch market over 2006-2011
2
1. Background – more wind, solar cells, CHP plants– higher temperatures as a result of climate change (?)
2. Method – reduced-form equation of electricity price– economic factors: demand, fuel price, market power– climate factors: wind, day light, river temperature
3. Data on the Dutch wholesale market
4. Results and conclusions

Dutch market is closely linked to the German market (as part of the NWE market)

Explaining prices = controlling for demand and supply factors
- time patterns in demand- economic factors affecting demand- market power- fuel costs- environmental restrictions on generation - wind- day light

Demand
Demand = production by centralised units + import – export
It is included as a lagged variable (- 1) to control for endogeneity
8
Competition: measured by the RSI
RSI (per firm) = (capacity of other firms + import capacity ) / demand
For each hour we include the RSI of the marginal firm

Gas price
Gas price = TTF day-ahead price

Temperature of river water
The threshold is 23 degrees: above this temperature plants have to shut down
This is included in the model as “number of degrees above 23”

Wind speed and day light
Wind speed is transformed in an indicator for the supply of wind energy on the basis of technical characteristics of wind generators
Day light is expressed in number of minutes per day

• The electricity price has become more related to the price of gas
• The merit order has become flatter as changes in demand have a lower impact on the price
• The electricity markets seems to have become more competitive as the influence of pivotal players has reduced
• In spite of the increase in wind and solar capacity, the climate factors have less effect on the electricity price
