  • Abstract
    This article presents an analytic model of electricity supply and demand, developed to understand which components might be solved in theory by markets, and which would have to rely upon regulatory oversight. Three demand-side market structures were evaluated: (1) fixed price (FP), (2) a demand response feature (DRP) and (3) real time pricing (RTP). Experimental results show that RTP leads to a redistribution of market power with great market efficiency.
