New Energy Journal article: "Effect of Combining Carbon Policies and Price Controls in Cross-Border Trade of Energy on Renewable Generation Investments" by Juan Carlos Muñoz, Sebastian Oliva H., and Enzo Sauma
Clean energy policies have played an important role in encouraging an early adoption of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Price controls on cross-border trade of energy may discourage RES investments due to the revenue reductions that base-load generation technologies (mostly RES) bear because of the price control. We assess the effectiveness of carbon policies, such as standard carbon tax and cap-and-trade programs, to promote RES investments when interacting with these price controls. Results show that carbon policies can partially offset the negative impact of price controls on RES investments and that cap-and-trade programs are more effective than carbon taxes in preventing this negative impact.

Continuous intraday electricity trading is a key feature of the German electricity market design, allowing market participants to manage their expected real-time energy imbalances. However, this market design is agnostic to system constraints such as e.g., transmission constraints, and market depth may be unsatisfactory. This leads to noisy price signals which could be remedied by operating frequent auctions instead.

In a zero emissions electricity grid, are batteries and pumped hydro alone sufficient to firm the grid – or will some zero emissions fuel based technologies be required? Gilmore, Nelson, and Nolan (2022) find hydrogen-powered turbines will significantly reduce the costs and risks for the future Australian grid – even if hydrogen doesn’t get cheaper than today. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.44.6.jgil

In the study "What Should be Taken into Consideration when Forecasting Oil Implied Volatility Index?", Panagiotis Delis, Stavros Degiannakis, and Konstantinos Giannopoulos develop a forecasting methodology on the OVX by investigating the added value of other markets’ implied volatility (IV) indices. From the results of the paper, they suggest that academics and forecasters should take into account the strong existence of long memory in the time series of OVX and that the IV indices from other asset classes offer incrementally higher forecasting accuracy of crude oil volatility.
