CPI Berlin Workshop: The Role of Power Market Design for the Achievement of the 20% Renewables Target

Brussels, June 10, 2010

 

Agenda and Presentations

At the workshop, academics, policy makers and industry actors discussed whether and how improvement of the European power market design can facilitate connection of more intermittent renewable generation sources to the network, reduce costs for system services and need for network expansion, increase flexibility to deal with delays to individual transmission projects and enhance system security.
