Price spike
Can be distinguished from market abuse?
34
What can we do about price-spikes?
- Lower the price-cap
- Then we have lower but more frequent spikes
- Capacity payments

About 2x more capacity than peak demand!!!
• Remains of the good old times of electricity being run as
state-owned Vertically Integrated Utilities (VIUs) (up to
2000)
– Civil engineers “gold-plate” the system: excess generation
reserves for “just-in-case” disregarding the costs
– Prices calculated as average costs + an uplift for capital expenses
• 1990-2000: Onset of liberalization, privatization and
competition
– Prices are marginal prices
– Due to the excess capacity they are relatively low
– Thus: no investment in new capacity
• Now: “sweating” the assets

paradigm. Oxford review of economic policy, vol. 21, no. 1

Editor's Notes

  1. For example, for a 1-hour outage, MISO has estimated VOLL at $730-$2510/MWh for residential, $15,000-$50,000/MWh for small commercial and industrial (“C&amp;I”), and $16,000-$78,000/MWh for large C&amp;I customers. The range in estimates shows the range across industries, where, for example the mining sector has a much larger VOLL than the services sector. (See MISO (2006).) Nordpool’s scarcity pricing mechanism is quite simple: if the level of available capacity is so low that TSOs must provide additional supply out of their capacity reserves, then the day-ahead price is increased to the price cap, and prices inthe intra-day and balancing markets must be as high or higher. 94 Joskow (2006a) recommends this method of setting prices equal to the price cap as a “rough and ready” mechanism for scarcity pricing. 95 Nordpool sees its reliance on TSOs’ non-market-based reserves as a transitional market failure, which justifies setting market prices equal to the price cap in an attempt to attract market-based investment.
  2. Capacity market Pay power plants for being prepared to generate, even if they are not called upon
  3. About 2x more capacity than peak demand!!!
