Market integration, technical innovation, corporate dynamics, and increasingly ambitious climate and environmental targets are drivers of an evolving energy system, both in Germany and Europe as well as in the U.S., and world-wide. Storage technologies and sector coupling are progressing, and market design is facing new challenges between more competition and the need to assure a coherent sector design, both nationally and across borders.
The 3rd Berlin Conference on Energy and Electricity Economics (BELEC) addressed these topics for a lower-carbon energy future. To this end, it brought together cutting-edge academic research and policy analyses on the economics of energy markets from the perspectives of academics, utilities, and policymakers. It aimed at a deeper understanding and exchange of ideas and perspectives on the various sectors, including theoretical approaches as well as policy and case studies.
