Marginal Pricing and the “Merit Order”<\/h2>\n

Commissioned by Eurelectric<\/p>\n

Publication date: 06.03.2026<\/p>\n

The policy debate about electricity market design, marginal pricing, and the \u201cMerit Order\u201d has resurfaced in Europe. Policymakers and stakeholders con-cerned about electricity prices have proposed state interventions into wholesale electricity markets. These interventions resemble the \u201cIberian Mechanism\u201d (gas subsidy) and Prof. Pantelis Capros’ proposal for a market split, both of which were suggested during the energy crisis.<\/p>\n

This memorandum presents data on electricity price levels, explains the mechanics and merits of marginal pricing, and evaluates the pro-posed interventions.<\/p>\n
