This briefing will provide you with the background knowledge needed to confidently work on them:
- How do wholesale electricity and gas markets in Europe as well as the EU carbon market function?
- What is the role of energy markets and price signals in driving cost-effective deployment of renewables and other decarbonisation technologies and solutions?
