Research output: Working paper

Abstract

The requirement to decarbonise the GB electricity system, alongside the falling costs of renewable technologies and developments in IT capabilities, provides GB with an opportunity for systemic change in the way that electricity is produced and sold, with the potential to enable flexibility markets at the local level given the correct regulatory conditions. The report highlights a range of regulatory and policy barriers to the Local Energy Market (LEM) approach.
