Redesigning competitive electricity markets: The case of Spain

I.J. Pérez-Arriaga

3rd International Conference on the European Energy Market - EEM '06, Warsaw (Poland). 24-26 mayo 2006


Summary:

The Spanish power sector may be a good example of a process of restructuring and liberalization that fails to succeed, despite a basically sound Electricity Act, because of an inadequate industrial structure and multiple flaws in the secondary regulation. This paper describes the situation of regulatory gridlock in the wholesale and retail Spanish electricity markets up to the summer of 2005, and examines the underlying reasons for it. In November 2004 the Spanish Government asked the author of this article to write a White Paper with a proposal for regulatory reform. The diagnostic and main recommendations of this White Paper, which was delivered in July 2005, are presented here.
