Along with Alistair, Erich is involved in a major project for the Electricity Commission on the costs and benefits of introducing locational rental allocations (LRAs) to manage locational spot price volatility. The project involves detailed simulations of locational price risk outcomes using half-hourly data for 2002-2006. One of the project’s primary aims is to remove barriers to entry to the retail market, thereby increasing competition.
