(1) Ensuring Resource Adequacy in a Hybrid Electricity Market under Decarbonization

The aim is to guarantee long-term security of supply (and therefore investment) through new capacity remuneration systems that take account of the context of decarbonization in Europe. This approach is directly in line with the design of the market (in particular the new organization of the European electricity markets). The approach is pragmatic. It consists of examining a ‘first-best option’ with a single omniscient player, then comparing it with a dynamic systemic approach in which an agent invests according to energy price signals alone and additional mechanisms to fill gaps in the energy market of the CfD or CRM type.

Work carried out as part of the PhD theses of Alexis Lebeau and Matthieu Delacommune (EDF R&D & LGI).
