RAP Principal Meg Gottstein was invited to speak along with the President of Germany’s Federal Regulatory Agency, key German policy advisors and industry representatives at the “e-world-2012” conference in Essen on this pressing topic in Germany. Her presentation drawing on a case study of US forward capacity markets poses the question: “Should we be thinking ‘beyond capacity markets’ for Germany’s Energiewende?” and is available in German here. Delivering resource capabilities to Europe’s decarbonized power system is explored in greater detail in this accompanying paper (in English).
