Together with Bruegel, we assessed the proposals for the European Parliament\u2019s ITRE committee. Based on a quantitative model of contractual arrangements, we evaluated the market design against the criteria of operational efficiency, fairness, and smart investment. Key recommendations: consumer protection should not blunt short-term price incentives, long-term contracts such as CfDs must preserve operational efficiency, and excessive tinkering with flexibility incentives should be avoided.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/neon-energie.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hirth-300x239.png\" width=\"200\" \/><br \/>\nProf. Dr. Lion Hirth<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:hirth@neon.energy\">hirth@neon.energy<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:+4915755199715\">+49 157 55 199 715<\/a><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<br \/>\n[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<br \/>\n<strong>Report<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/reports\/Neon-EU-Electricity-Market.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/reports\/Neon-EU-Electricity-Market-Thumb.webp\" width=\"280\" style=\"border: 1px solid #666666;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<br \/>\n<strong>Related work<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/marginal-pricing-merit-order\/\">Marginal pricing<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/regionale-grosshandelspreise\/\">Regional wholesale prices<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/preisspitzen-strommarkt\/\">Price spikes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/courses\/\">Electricity Markets<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/courses\/\">Grundlagen der Energiewirtschaft<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/electricity-markets\/\">Electricity Markets<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/renewables-support\/\">Renewables Support<\/a><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;7\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text] Electricity market reform Client: European Parliament Neon team: Ingmar Schlecht, Jonathan M\u00fchlenpfordt, Anselm Eicke Project partners: Bruegel Published: 2023 In March 2023, the European<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6325","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6325"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6524,"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6325\/revisions\/6524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neon.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
