Climate package check: effects on electricity market & utilities
In this white paper, the experts from Energy Brainpool examine the effects of the climate protection package on the electricity market and energy suppliers. Three climate package scenarios for the development until 2030 are compared using the electricity market modelling of the in-house fundamental model Power2Sim.

The hPFC is dead – long live the fhPFC
The share of renewable energies in electricity generation is growing. This means that the hourly distribution of electricity prices increasingly depends on the weather. How can this weather risk be taken into account when determining prices and thus reflected in procurement? In this white paper, Energy Brainpool's energy market experts discuss a new instrument - the fundamental hPFC.

PPAs II: market analysis, pricing & hedging strategies
In this second white paper on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Energy Brainpool examines the extent to which PPAs can be integrated into the German energy industry: What opportunities and risks do they have for the operation and expansion of renewable energies? What contractual options exist? How can fair pricing be achieved for buyers and sellers? What hedging strategies do the contracting parties use to manage market risks?

PPAs: Financial model for renewable energies
Blockchain - or how a technology becomes business models
The new white paper from Energy Brainpool shows which business models Blockchain technology already uses and which business models Blockchain technology can support.

PPAs: Financial model for renewable energies
In this white paper, Energy Brainpool deals with the implementation potential of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) as a contractual model. Are PPAs a coverage for sales revenues of wind and solar power plants after the expiry of the financial support in 2021? The experts at Energy Branipool will discuss and analyse the current implementation at the European market and the benefits of PPAs.

Influence of the six-hour rule on revenues from vRES-plants
Using the example of wind and solar energy plants, Energy Brainpool examines the influence of the six-hour rule on the revenues of the plants in its current white paper.

Are 21+ years old wind turbines economically viable?
The first wind turbines will leave the EEG funding regime in 2021, as the 20-year funding period expires. From a technical point of view, it is possible to continue the operation of some systems. On this occasion, Energy Brainpool is examining in the new white paper to what extent onshore wind turbines can be operated profitably without additional state funding.

How high must an effective CO2 price be?
In this white paper, Energy Brainpool examines the question "how high must an effective CO2 price be?" in order to plan the use of power plants in the electricity market efficiently and at short notice and thus to change the emissions of electricity production.

Assesment of revenue potentials of offshore plants
Various price indices are available for assessing electricity market revenues. The White Paper "Valuation of revenues of fluctuating generation", examines these indices in terms of their appropriateness to assess the potential revenue of variable renewable energy sources (vRES).
In the light of the results of the first tender for offshore wind turbines from 14.04.2017, the present paper examines the expected revenues of unsupported (non-promoted) offshore wind farms. In total, Dong Energy and EnBW offered 1380 MW at a price of 0 cents/kWh.

Valuation of revenues of fluctuating renewable energy sources
The new white paper introduces the different price indices for the valuation of electricity market revenues of fluctuating renewable energy sources and elucidates the specially developed parameter of the sales revenue. The sales revenue describes the revenue that a technology (wind or solar) can receive at the electricity market without additional payment. A short exemplary calculation completes the white paper.

Effect of e-mobility on the expansion of renewable energies
The new white paper evaluates within the Energy BrainReport 2017 the effect of e-mobility on the expansion of renewable energies. The experts describe that a total electrification of private transport would result in an additional expansion of 63 gigawatts in solar and wind capacity and reduce the CO2 emissions by 70 percent.

Effect of CO2 floor price in Germany
A new white paper from Energy Brainpool, the independent market specialist for the energy sector, has been published, which deals with the effect of a CO2 floor price for CO2 emissions in Germany. The results of the Berlin analysts: the in the World Energy Outlook accepted price increase of today’s 5 Euro on 27,60 Euro per ton CO2 is not enough to reach the climate goal in the energy sector until 2030. A national floor price can have an effect but is in the European context only partly efficient.

Effects of the electricity market reform 2016
The presentation shows the key aspects of the electricity market reform and their effects on the energy market. The tendering procedure with the EEG 2016 is sketched, including examples to illustrate.

Forecast tender volume wind energy EEG 2016
This white paper forecasts, the fixed trender volumes as well as the commissioning and decommissioning rates of renewable energies using in the draft given formulars. It also analysis what tender volume for wind onshore, what installed capacity for all renewable energies as well as what share of gross electricity consumption is reached.
The updated version from 14.3.2016 provides detailed information about the assumptions of the analysis.

Solar elipse costs 3 million Euro
Friday, march 20, 2015, due to a partial solar eclipse, up to 73 percent (in a nation-wide mean) of the sunlight will be blocked by the moon from 9:30 to 12:00 – with obvious effects on the electricity market.

Partial phasing out of nuclear energy in France
On 15.10.2014 France's National Assembly gave their approval of the countrys energy transition bil. In a white paper Energy Brainpool analysis the effects on the development of electricity prices.

EEG 2014 effects on electricity price developments
This white paper examines the effects of the the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) 2014 on the development of electricity prices in the Energy-Only-Market. The amendments of the EEG 2014 compared to 2012 are analysed. With the fundamental model Power2Sim electricity prices until the year 2040 are modeled. A potential decrease of extreme prices and rising electricity prices are forecasted.

Fuel switch
One targeted use of the pricing of CO2 emissions through the launch of EUA certificate trading (European Union Allowance) is the switch from high-emission primary energy sources (e.g. coal) to lower-emission primary energy sources (e.g. natural gas), the so called fuel switch.
This white paper examines the effects of the current EUA certificate prices on power plant scheduling and what EUA price would be necessary to switch from coal-fired power plants to natural-gas power plants.
