An in-depth overview of how electricity markets function in practice, combining economic theory, regulation, and industry experience: from price formation and day-ahead auctions to balancing mechanisms and capacity markets. Designed for professionals who trade, regulate, analyze, or design electricity markets across the power sector.

  • Marginal pricing and the “Merit Order”
  • Price spikes, scarcity pricing, and investment incentives
  • The day-ahead auction and intraday trading

Designed for the full renewable value chain, from manufacturing to policy.

  • Tech basics: wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, hydroelectricity
  • The cost revolution – why solar (and wind) got so cheap
  • The economic value of wind and solar energy: capture price
  • Power system flexibility and “system-friendly” renewables
  • Financing, investor risk, and hedging
  • Support schemes: from feed-in-tariffs to CfDs
  • Negative prices (and what to do about them)
  • Commercialization, optimization and trading
  • Electricity storage and co-location
  • Prosumers and self-consumption

Batteries in Power Systems (EN)

  • Energy storage technologies and the battery revolution
  • Cost of BESS: evolution, drivers, optimized design
  • Commercialization of batteries: value staking and revenue pools
  • Intraday trading, balancing reserve, and imbalance pricing
  • Grid impact of batteries
  • Connection queues and flexible connection agreements
