Description: This project investigates whether the tariff structures defined in long-term power purchase agreements distort dispatch decisions in favour of fossil fuels. It analyses whether renewable energy is routinely curtailed despite its ”must-run” status, and models how a more efficient dispatch mechanism based on the merit order could enhance the clean energy share.
