Working paper
Zonal Pricing, Volume Risk and the 2030 Clean Power Target
Mar 2025
UKERC Researcher Callum MacIver talked to BBC Scotland about zonal pricing on Friday 28th March on their evening news programme.
New UKERC modelling is assessing the interactions between transmission build-rates and the possible introduction of zonal pricing in the British electricity market. It cautions that investors currently face high uncertainty, and considerable volume of sales risks, with a material impact on renewable energy auctions that are essential for meeting clean power 2030 targets.
