Nodal vs. zonal pricing<\/h2>\n

Client: BMWi
\nProject partners: Consentec, Ecofys, Connect, Frontier Economics, \u00d6ko-Institut, Prognos
\nPublished: 2018<\/p>\n

Zonal and nodal pricing represent the grid\u2019s limited transmission capacity in the wholesale market in fundamentally different ways: one price per bidding zone versus an individual price at every grid node. Against the backdrop of rapidly rising redispatch volumes, we compared the two systems for Germany\u2019s economics ministry, together with Consentec, against a catalog of assessment criteria \u2014 treating both as conceptual price regimes and mapping out the state of the science, including diverging expert views. The project included a series of three workshops at the ministry with 20\u201330 international experts each. This report was originally published in German.
