I agree with the incentives for zonal pricing to encourage clean local
production. The downside however is that the grid becomes defunded and
a tragedy of commons ensues. We invest in common infrastructure
precisely because of variance, which in the long run we hope to
ameliorate.
- pjc50 2y agoZonal pricing (UK) does not conflict with grid funding, it is the grid funding. It also exposes the economic incentives for allowing new grid infrastructure to be built.
- nonrandomstring 2y agoI hope you're right. Incentives both ways and support for national infra is ideal. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia just showed [0] how flexible grids can be at the international level. However I think at the national level some countries aren't that happy to support national grids.
