Market valuation for the energy transition

Understanding market value matters more than ever

The electricity market is increasingly complex and dynamic. It’s influenced by uncertainties and variabilities such as weather-dependent renewable generation and volatile fuel and CO₂ prices.

Traditional carbon-based dispatchable generation, such as coal and gas, is being replaced by zero-carbon alternatives, including wind, solar photovoltaic (PV), hydro, nuclear, and hydrogen-fired generation. Zero-carbon generation will play a key role in decarbonizing the energy system.

Technologies such as batteries, electric vehicles, power-to-heat systems, and power-to-gas (hydrogen) will also be crucial in supporting this transition.

These shifts can drive fluctuations in electricity prices, production, and consumption, impacting investment risk and the overall costs and benefits of the electricity system.

Helping you understand the value of your opportunities

Understanding the market value of your assets is critical for making informed decisions. 

Market valuation offers insights into the value that non-dispatchable resources, such as wind and solar PV, can capture from electricity markets. It also helps assess the value of dispatchable resources — including conventional generation, storage, and demand response — required to support system adequacy and flexibility.
