Risk shifted to consumers Reduces or eliminates investment risks, but can lead to:
Overbuilding
“Gold-plating” – investing in more expensive technologies
Restructured Risk born by investor and third-parties
Some risks passed on in form of higher wholesale prices
Other risks can be shifted through financial/insurance products
Government interventions can reduce risk…
Guaranteed revenues through FiTs or CfDs
Loan guarantees
Market structures (e.g. capacity markets)
… or create risk

Scarcity conditions
Relevant first-order principle: • Getting the price(s) right during scarcity
• Marginal cost represents marginal service action
• Demand response (Value of Lost Load essential) • Price caps (Reliability target essential) • Co-ordination with other services (eg Balancing) • Locational differences (Underlying grid essential)
Absent perfect market conditions: Additional payments for capacity likely in the long run • PJM, NYISO, ISO NE, CAISO • ERCOT ? • UK • France • Germany?
Own set of challenges exist: • How much and which capacity? • Implications on other investments?
Lars Dittmar | 14
Basic Characteristics of the Commodity Electricity
• Demand(t)=Supply(t): Electricity supply and
demand must be in a continuous physical balance
• Diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in demand
• Storing electricity is only to a minor degree
economically reasonable (Exception Hydro-thermal
systems such as Brazil, Colombia or Norway)
• Installed Capacity = Peak Demand + Reserve
Margin
• Short-term prices are determined according to
merit-order principles

Dispatching Decision
The decision on Economic Dispatch is only based
on short-term marginal generation costs (STMC)
Dispatch if: Market price > STMC
I.e. power plants are dispatched if the contribution
margin is positive.
Lars Dittmar | 19
Short-term Marginal Generation Costs
Where:
G = Generation unit index
STMC(G) = Short-term marginal generation costs [USD/MWhel]
Fuel Price (G) = Fuel Price [USD/MWhtherm]
Eta(G) = Efficiency [-]
O&MVariable = Variable O&M costs [USD/MWhel]

Exercise Electricity Trading Game
• We play 12 rounds: 9 rounds with uniform pricing
and the last 3 rounds pay-as-bid
• Maximize the profit of your team. The team
with the highest profit wins!
• Uniform pricing regime:
– Figure out how to manipulate market prices
• Pay-as-Bid auction:
– Does pay-as-bid save the customers money?

• 100% feed-in integration and compensation otherwise
• No/limited dispatch capabilities
• No network cost responsibilities
• No operational cost responsibilities

German Energiewende in a Nutshell –I-
• 1980: The term Energiewende (“Energy Turnaround”) was
coined by a German green think tank (Öko-Institute)
• Two main targets: (1) nuclear phase out and (2) carbon
emission reduction transition to renewable energies
• 1991: First feed-in tariffs for renewables (Chancellor Kohl)
• 2000: Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG)
(Chancellor Schröder + Green Party)
• 2002: Decision on nuclear phase out by 2020
(Chancellor Schröder + Green Party)
Lars Dittmar | 55
German Energiewende in a Nutshell –II-
• 2010: Decision on the exit from the nuclear exit and
ambitious targets for decarbonisation, renewables and
energy efficiency (Chancellor Merkel)
• 2011: exit from the exit from the exit … In the wake of
the Fukushima disaster decision to phase out nuclear
power by 2022. (Chancellor Merkel)
• Shut-down of 8 out of nuclear power plants within a
view month
• Ambitious targets kept for emission reduction, share of
renewables and energy efficiency
• Ambitious targets + Nuclear phase out ≙ Energiewende

Development of Renewable Electricity in Germany
• Induced by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act
(EEG) the share of renewables in the German electricity mix
increased from 7 to 23 percent (≈ 117 TWh) between 2000
and 2012.
• In the same timeframe annual gross transfer payments grew
from EUR 1.2 to EUR 21 billion (≈ 342 USD/Cap/a).
• The difference between transfer payments and the market value
of renewable electricity (net burden) is apportioned to
consumers via their electricity bills as levy (“EEG levy”).
• The total EEG levy (= net burden) in 2012 amounts to EUR 17
billion (≈ 270 USD/Cap/a)
Lars Dittmar | 61
Essential Elements of the German EEG
• Grid operators (TSOs and DSOs) are obliged to provide
grid connection for EEG power plants.
• Mandatory purchase of EEG electricity by the grid
operator.
• Priority of EEG (&CHP) electricity over any other
source of power generation.
• EEG plant operators receive fixed feed-in tariffs (FiT)
for each kWh fed into the grid over 20 years.
• By 2012 about 4’000 FiT categories differentiating acc.
to energy source, vintage (decreasing rates), capacity,
technology etc.
• Additional cost of EEG electricity are apportioned to
“all” electricity consumers (“EEG levy”).

Conclusion
• The Energiewende is a mammoth policy project
affecting the entire electricity system
• Current market prices do not cover the costs of
conventional capacities. Additionally sales volumes
decline.
• The RES-Policy-Design of „produce and forget“ has
to be changed create demand for secured
capacity
• Conventional power plants are still needed, also in
the long-run (~50GW with 80% RES)
