The market value of wind energy

| 2016:276 | Lion Hirth
Several studies shows that the revenues of wind power generators on spot markets – “market value” – decline with increasing deployment. This “value drop” is generally observed in power markets that are dominated by thermal power plants, such as in Germany.

This report assesses the market value of wind power for power systems with large amounts of large reservoirs in hydroelectric dams, such as in Sweden. The results indicate that when moving from 0 percent to 30 percent wind penetration, hydropower mitigates the value drop by a third. As a result, 1 MWh of electricity from wind is worth 18 percent more in Sweden than in Germany.

    The Value of Lost Load in Swedish Industry 2021-787

    Här gör forskarna en uppskattning av kostnaden för strömavbrott i den svenska industrisektorn. Beräkningarna baseras på kostnader för avbrott på olika industrianläggningars faktiska användning av el och de värden som den användningen skapar.

    Blowing in the Wind 2019-587

    Thus the “Swedish” electricity market is now part of an integrated Nordic electricity market, more and more integrated with the continental European electricity markets. Parallel to this integration process the European electricity supply system is in a state of transition, with increasing shares of non-dispatchable wind and solar power as the key feature. The changes underway will have consequences for the technical operation of the system but also for the electricity trading arrangements.
