Marginal pricing<\/h2>\n

Client: Eurelectric
\nPublished: 2026<\/p>\n

The policy debate about electricity market design, marginal pricing, and the \u201cMerit Order\u201d has resurfaced in Europe. Policymakers concerned about electricity prices have proposed state interventions into wholesale markets, resembling the \u201cIberian Mechanism\u201d and a \u201cmarket split\u201d between renewable and fossil generation. For the industry association Eurelectric, we produced a memorandum that presents data on European price levels, explains the mechanics and merits of marginal pricing, and evaluates the proposed interventions \u2014 concluding that markets are functioning as designed and that the proposals would distort prices and undermine investor confidence.
