  In this paper, we discuss electricity market design in Europe in light of the 2021-23 energy crisis, drawing on several of our Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE) reports. We outline the relevant theoretical background with respect to wholesale electricity markets, retail electricity markets, excess profits regulation, renewables support schemes and emergency interventions. We next outline the responses of the European Union, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Great Britain to the crisis. This allows us to make a number of recommendations about the future design of the electricity market in the light of theory and recent experience. These include a role for long-term contracts, the extension of the single market, the place for increased price granularity, appropriate energy taxation and the necessity of better monitoring of National Energy and Climate Plans to ensure adequate aggregate investment.

  Reaping the full benefits from cross-border interconnection typically requires reinforcement of national networks. When the relevant parts of the networks are complements, a lack of coordination between national transmission system operators results in investment below optimal levels in both interconnectors and national infrastructure. A subsidy to financially sustain interconnector building is not sufficient to restore optimality; indeed, even when possible, such subsidisation may have to be restrained so as not to encourage cross-border capacities that will not be fully utilised due to lack of investment in national systems.

  A government wants to exploit a renewable resource, yielding a time-varying flow of rent, by leasing it. Leasing contracts can be expropriated before expiration, albeit at a cost. To minimise transactions costs and avoid the ‘resource trap’ the government would prefer to enter into an infinitely long contract (i.e. sell the resource), if it could commit not to expropriate. However, with finite costs of expropriation credible commitment is impossible: the government either enters into finite contracts, expropriates with positive probability or does both. The value of the resource to the government is increasing in the cost of expropriation, but decreasing in the variability of the resource rent.

  Markets for green certificates allow generators with market power to squeeze the margins of their competitors, as a generator that is vertically integrated into network activities might do. We analyse this issue in a stylised electricity industry in which a dominant producer of both conventional and renewable energy is facing a competitive fringe of renewable-energy producers. We demonstrate that whether or not a dominant firm is vertically integrated into network activities, it can disadvantage the fringe producers by distorting certificates prices, thereby inducing cost inefficiency in the generation of renewable energy. We compare green certificates to a system of feed-in tariffs, where a similar margin squeeze is not possible.

  Norsk dagligvarehandel lever av å formidle mat og andre dagligvarer til norske forbrukere og har stor betydning for forbrukernes dagligvaretilbud. Tilgjengelighet og utvalg, pris og kvalitet avhenger av tilpasningen i dagligvarehandelen. I tillegg avhenger lokale handels- og servicemiljøer av dagligvarehandelens lokaliseringsbeslutninger. Dagligvarehandelen stiller også i økende grad premissene for utviklingen av matindustrien. I denne rapporten gis en bred dokumentasjon av dagligvarehandelens plass i norsk økonomi og samfunn generelt og i norsk matsektor spesielt.

  Europe’s electricity and gas networks are facing growing pressures from climate change. Heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, and storms are occurring with greater frequency and severity, exposing vulnerabilities in energy infrastructure and raising the spectre of cascading failures across interconnected systems. While European energy policy has long concentrated on efficiency, decarbonisation, and security of supply, systematic attention to climate resilience is only beginning to emerge. Regulatory frameworks at both EU and national levels still struggle to capture the value of resilience investments. Traditional tools such as cost–benefit analysis often fail to account for high-impact, low-probability events, leaving adaptation undervalued. Without reforms, Europe risks underinvesting in measures that could protect households, businesses, and critical services from climate-driven disruptions. In this issue paper, we examine how resilience can be embedded in the governance of energy infrastructure. We explore policy and regulatory options across both EU-level and national frameworks, concentrating on transmission and distribution system operators. We identify gaps in current regulatory practice and set out possible approaches for reform. Key themes include: • Climate risks: Europe’s energy systems face intensifying hazards, from heatwaves and droughts in southern regions to storms and icing in the north. These events disrupt generation, transmission, and distribution, with impacts exacerbated by cross-sector interdependencies. • Regulatory gaps: Although EU policy and regulation acknowledge resilience, concrete regulatory tools remain underdeveloped. Cost–benefit methodologies and performance incentives do not systematically account for climate risks, and mandatory climate risk assessments are fragmented. • Embedding resilience: Options include strengthening project evaluation through scenario analysis and catastrophe modelling; ensuring cost recovery for capital and operational adaptation measures; refining performance-based incentives; introducing more systematic climate risk disclosure; and improving access to insurance and risk-sharing mechanisms. • Coordination: Because Europe’s energy systems are interconnected, resilience planning cannot stop at national borders. EU-level stress testing, joint emergency planning, and stronger cross-border coordination will be essential. The analysis suggests that there is no single solution. A combination of approaches may be needed, ranging from reforms to EU-level legislation and project assessment guidelines to national incentive schemes and insurance frameworks. The challenge is to balance consistency across Europe and flexibility for regulators to respond to diverse local risks. Investment in resilience can be seen as a form of insurance: costs incurred today to reduce the likelihood of greater losses tomorrow. How these costs are recognised in regulation, how responsibilities are divided between EU and national levels, and how risks are shared between operators, consumers, and insurers are questions the answers to which will shape Europe’s ability to safeguard its energy systems under a changing climate.

  The European energy system has undergone a period of structural upheaval between 2015 and 2024, driven by rapid decarbonisation, increased integration of variable renewable energy (VRE), and geopolitical disruptions, such as the war in Ukraine. In this context, energy storage technologies have emerged as a potentially critical means of ensuring system flexibility and stability. This thesis evaluates the economic viability and systemic impact of grid-scale energy storage in Northern Europe, with a particular focus on the Norwegian electricity market. This thesis develops two heuristic trading models, one optimising for profit-maximising arbitrage, the other for load smoothing while using perfect 24-hour foresight across a decade of real electricity price and load data. Storage technologies assessed include pumped hydro and battery systems, and suitable techno-economic profiles are established. Results suggest that while no storage technology would have achieved positive net present value under historical conditions in Norway, several approaches came close in Northern Europe. Pumped hydro options, particularly those derived from Norwegian project proposals, demonstrated relatively strong performance, though still fell short of breaking even under current conditions. The analysis also reveals a clear trade-off between economic profitability and grid-balancing benefits, with smoothing strategies generally producing lower financial returns, but significantly greater effects on load volatility. This study highlights the nuanced role that storage can play in future energy systems and suggests that policy frameworks must evolve to recognise both the private and public value of storage. Norwegian policymakers in particular should consider regulatory reforms to enable socially beneficial arbitrage and grid participation, while anticipating storage’s growing strategic relevance in a more volatile, electrified Europe.

  The report is part of a research project focused on both wholesale and retail European energy markets, with the aim to formulate policy recommendations for the future of market design. The paper aims to address and provide some initial answers to the below research questions: - How well have European retail electricity markets been coping with the current energy crisis? How have governments responded to increasing prices? - What short-term measures can governments take to soften the impact of high energy prices? - What long-term measures can governments take to protect consumers from high energy prices? - What should be the role of the EU vs. the Member States? - What legal constraints are imposed by EU directives and regulations? - Do we need to regulate the risk exposure of suppliers? What are the options for doing this? The authors provide a brief discussion on energy retailing, before presenting four country experiences: France, Norway, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Based on these experiences, the paper subsequently attempts to draw lessons and identify challenges and opportunities for retail markets going forward.
