New (2009 - current) | London Economic Press

The market briefing is intended to provide both a thorough overview of each region’s electricity sector, while also allowing the reader to quickly identify the information needed. The market briefings are standardized as much as possible with this purpose in mind. That said, availability of accurate and consistent data for all aspects of the electricity sector is not uniform and thus there may be slight differences among the regions.

Each market briefing contains four pages that distill the most important information needed to clearly and comprehensively understand the current status and likely future evolution of the electricity sector in that particular country. Online Market Briefings contain:

Overview of each country or region’s electricity sector, including regulatory structure and private and foreign activity transmission issues and map, including ownership and operation, tariff regime, and grid access regulations wholesale market structures, including products sold, number of participants, volumes distribution and supply, tariff regime, level of retail switching
