Date 20/11/2020

Introduction

We have faced a major and unexpected event this past year, unlike anything many of us have experienced.  We all have faced many challenges. Concern over the health and safety of our families, friends, colleagues, and ourselves has become top priority.  Balancing remote work, restrictions on travel, childcare, virtual school, and virtual meetings has become the new normal.  We have faced dramatic changes in how we operate, regularly communicate, and, importantly, adapt compliance with the existing policies and procedures and law to the new circumstances.  We observed many in the industry successfully pivot to full telework, at a time when we saw incredibly high market volume.  With this lead in, I would like to share with you today how OCIE was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and also spend time discussing the challenges CCOs face and the importance of achieving their empowerment, seniority, and authority in their firms to ensure that they are effective.

Europex: Moving Towards Full Market Integration Of Renewables – The Most Cost-Efficient Way To Decarbonise The Energy Sector

Date 20/11/2020

Significant deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) is required to achieve the EU 2050 net zero target proposed in the Green Deal as well as the raised ambition of the EU 2030 targets. The recently published EU Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy sets out the scale of the challenge, estimating that an installed capacity of at least 300 GW of offshore wind alone will be needed by 2050. Energy markets will be vital to help achieve this scale-up at an acceptable cost. Despite the high fixed cost structure of renewables as well as the need for predictable revenue streams, market-based remuneration of renewables in the energy market offers the most cost-efficient way of achieving decarbonisation. Recent market reforms, including the harnessing of demand-side flexibility, and ensuring RES can achieve revenue streams from multiple markets, need to be fully implemented to allow markets to realise their full potential in a high renewables system.
