“…They argue that a multi-settlement system allows for better reflecting remuneration for flexible units when more renewables are included. Daglish et al [35] analyze the pricing effects of the electricity market reform in Brazil from 1998 to 2004. They show that the marginal wholesale prices were reduced at the beginning, but they saw a probability increment in the last years of crises occurring.…”

This paper analyzes the energy reform that has taken place in Mexico since 2013, driven by steady growth in energy demand and insufficient economic resources. The relevant points in the restructuring process are discussed, shedding light on the impact of recent governmental actions not aligned with the original spirit of the law. This research uses a framework and fundamentals of a well-organized structural process called the textbook model, making a comparative analysis of Mexican reform. It proceeds by presenting the Mexican Electrical System in numbers and how it is affected by the present government’s restructuring process providing positive and negative impacts of several implementations. The main objectives of restructuring were carried out to attract private investment and increase the reliability and efficiency of the system. During the first four years, the reform has attracted investment, in diminishing form in generation but not in transmission and distribution. Therefore, the main reason for this is explained and a brief analysis and the roots of these failures are presented. It is shown that recent political decisions tend to keep the system operator and regulatory agencies under Federal Government control so that it is acting against the main objectives of the original reform. Finally, a summary of the deviation of the reality from the existing law is outlined.

“…With a high proportion of nuclear power and relatively low standard electricity prices, France has relevant experience in regulating the market pricing mechanisms that are adapted to a high proportion of nuclear power. In addition, issues related to electricity markets in Australia [19], California [20], Brazil [21], New Zealand [22] and Germany [23], have also been hotly debated in academia. It can be seen that the construction of electric power markets varies from country to country, due to the unique characteristics of power systems that results from different national conditions.…”

To reach the “30·60” decarbonization target (where carbon emissions start declining in 2030 and reach net zero in 2060), China is restructuring its power system to a new energy-based one. Given this new situation, this paper reviews previous studies on the power market and highlights key issues for future research as we seek to adapt to the new power system (NPS). Based on a systematic literature review, papers on the operational efficiency of the power market, participants’ bidding strategies and market supervision were identified. In a further step, papers with high relevance were analyzed in more detail. Then, key studies that focused on market trading under China’s new power system were picked out for further discussion. New studies were searched for that pertained to new energy mechanisms and bidding, the transition from coal-fired power, flexible resources and the technical applications of simulations. The quantitative analysis supports the construction of a basic paradigm for the study of power markets that is suitable for the new power system. Finally, the theoretical basis and application suggestions for power market simulations are introduced. This study summarized the existing research on the power market and further explored the key issues relating to the power market as it adapts to the NPS, hoping to inspire better research into China’s power sector, and promote safe, low-carbon, and sustainable development in China’s power industry.

“…Choosing a particular type of energy to supply a given country or region depends on the need to satisfy local demand, as well as on the country s increased level of inclusion in the international economic market [1][2][3]. In Brazil, this increased inclusion became evident with the export of primary products, such as agriculture and mineral commodities, that attracted continuous interest in the country's natural and energy resources [1,4].…”

What Is the Socioeconomic Impact of the Tucuruí Dam on Its Surrounding Municipalities?

Hydroelectric energy is known for being renewable, clean, efficient and harmless in comparison to other nonrenewable energy sources. Nonetheless, the installation of a hydroelectric power complex (HC) in places, such as the Amazon, have proven to cause land cover changes, and alter local population dynamics. Issues like migration and city expansion can cause economic, social and cultural impacts locally, while the benefits are seen in other regions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the socioeconomic indicators of the municipalities directly affected by the Tucuruí HPC. The study took into consideration three scenarios: the post-inauguration of the HC in 1988 (phase I), the beginning of construction in 2000 (phase II), and the completion of the Tucuruí HC in 2010 (phase III). Two types of multivariate analysis were conducted: the principal component analysis and cluster analysis, in order to identify the variables related to quality of life, and to be able to group the municipalities which have a similar quality of life. During the three scenarios studied, Tucuruí remained the only municipality with the highest quality of life index in the entire region, revealing the inequality present in the study area, which is something to be considered during the development of public policies.
