Reconfiguration of the German Bidding Zone? Impacts on Market, Consumers, and Industry

In most debates on a possible reconfiguration of the German bidding zone, Redispatch costs play the most important role. Hardly ever, the focus is set on the larger economic impact following a split – what are implications for investments and business cases for Renewables, what are consequences for the competitiveness of the energy intensive industry in Southern Germany? 



A recent BDEW study in cooperation with Compass Lexecon tries to fill this gap. Bidding zone reconfiguration is placed in the macroeconomic context, and effects beyond redispatch are analysed – ranging from prices for end-consumers to the integration of RES and industrial competitiveness. The results provide an up-to-date and in practical contribution to the debate, enhancing the scope to cover the economic and social impact of a potential bidding-zone-split.
