Locational marginal prices (LMPs) are an important design feature of several well-developed electricity markets, particularly in the US. They involve the calculation of energy prices which reflect congestion and losses at particular nodes in the electricity network. They have been hotly debated in Australia and Great Britain, but not implemented so far. In this event, we explore whether and how European countries should adopt LMPs.The author of the paper Locational marginal prices for electricity in Europe?
