Promotion of competition and integration of energy markets is at the forefront of the European Community and national governments. This has led to the liberalisation of wholesale and retail markets, and the regulation of transmission and distribution operators.

CASE economists are well placed to assist companies and their lawyers in responding to market and regulatory investigations, as part of merger proceedings and in damages analysis in the energy sector.

CASE economists have deep knowledge of regulation and competition in energy markets gained through lengthy experience of working with companies and regulators throughout the world on all aspects of energy market structure, competition and regulation.

CASE economists have advised clients on wholesale market design, network regulation and pricing, power purchase agreements including contracts for differences and virtual power auctions, business unbundling, cost allocation, LRIC based tariffs, as well as merger investigations, regulatory disputes and damages analysis.
