| | Electricity market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Electricity retailers, who in aggregate buy from the wholesale market, and generators who in aggregate sell to the wholesale market, are exposed the these price and volume effects and to protect themselves from volatility, they will enter into "hedge contracts" with each other. | | | The theoretical price of electricity at each node on the network is an aggregation of the marginal electricity generator's offer price and the marginal cost of losses and congestion on the network. | | | These are: separate the contestable functions of generation and retail from the natural monopoly functions of transmission and distribution; and establish a wholesale electricity market for electricity generation and a retail electricity market for electricity retailing. |

| | MacGen - Industry - National Electricity Market |
| | Electricity is traded competitively as a commodity under Government reforms and restructuring of the electricity sector. | | | In the National Electricity Market establishment timetable, the very largest users of electricity were able to purchase in the new retail market from October 1996. | | | Electricity Generators compete to sell their output in the wholesale market commonly described as the "pool". |

| | Is There a Single European Market for Electricity |
| | Electricity is produced and delivered in a four-stage, vertically interdependent process involving generation (the production of electrical energy), transmission (transportation of this energy along high-voltage cables), distribution (transportation at lower voltages to final customers) and retailing (advertising, branding, contract bundling and billing for final customers). | | | Retail companies can purchase generated electricity and transportation services and compete on the basis of least cost purchasing, metering and billing costs and quality of customer service. | | | Electricity retailing has traditionally been bundled with distribution, but recent liberalization efforts have demonstrated that it is actually separable from distribution and hence competitive. |

| | Contestable customers who buy their electricity from a retailer other than the "host" retailer, the retailer to whose network they are connected have "smart" meters which register and store half hourly electricity readings. | | | A spot price for wholesale electricity is calculated for each half hour period during the day and is the clearing price to match supply and demand. | | | Contestable customers can also buy electricity at the spot price from the electricity pool but the pool is nearly exclusively used by the generators and retailers. |

| | German Electricity Market by Anne Ku at analyticalQ |
| | The number and sheer complexity of contracts required to get electricity delivered from one point to another, as illustrated in figure 2, is another barrier to entry. | | | While this may introduce price transparency to the wholesale commodity price for electricity, this does not alleviate the problems of grid access. | | | New entrants, he said, are also motivated by 1- the search for growth, 2- pressure in home markets such as take or pay contracts, 3- pressure from competition in home markets, and 4- pursuit of pan-European and multi-national customer movement across borders. |

| | Mismeasuring Electricity Market Power |
| | The rationale for using price-cost margins is essentially that, in a competitive market, price-taking firms will supply out-put up to the point where the marginal cost of production just equals the market price. | | | Under a PAVC standard for competitive pricing, no generator would be built; in any market, competitive or not, even the most expensive “marginal” generator has to expect that prices will, on average, cover not just its variable costs but also its fixed capital costs. | | | However, the approach taken in most empirical analyses of marketpower in electricity rests on a flawed application of a standard measure of market power — the fraction of a good’s price exceeding its marginal production cost (known as the Lerner index or the price-cost margin). |

| | Integrating Municipal Utilities into a Competitive Electricity Market |
| | Falling electricity prices due to competition will reduce government revenue both from IOU taxes and from transfers of a percentage of muni revenues. | | | Participating in competitive markets is not easy for government-owned entities, and markets don’t function well when groups of participants play by different legal, tax, and regulatory rules. | | | In competitive wholesale and retail electric markets, those cost advantages are considerable. |
