Which European guidelines for capacity mechanisms?

The event included three presentations of recent reports on the economics of capacity mechanism and a policy discussion on corresponding European guidelines. In the first part there was a discussion of the justification of capacity mechanisms based on three recent pieces of work by IEA, ECN and ACER. Based on this, in the second part Justus Haucap (DICE) and Inge Bernaerts (EC) kicked off a debate on which European guidelines for capacity mechanisms are needed.
