Dual Pricing to Prioritize Renewable Energy and Consumer Preferences in Electricity Markets
Electricity markets currently fail to incorporate preferences of buyers, treating polluting and renewable energy sources as having equal social benefit under a system of uniform clearing prices. Meanwhile, renewable energy is prone to curtailment due to transmission constraints, forcing grid operators to reduce or shut down renewable energy production despite its availability and need. This paper proposes a `dual pricing mechanism" which allows buyers to bid both their willingness to pay for electricity, and additionally, their preference for green energy. Designed for use in deregulated electricity markets, this mechanism prioritizes the dispatch of more renewable energy sources according to consumer preferences. Traditional uniform clearing prices, which treat all energy sources equally, do not reflect the growing share of green energy in the power grid and the environmental values of consumers. By allowing load-serving entities to bid their willingness to pay for renewable energy directly into the clearing market, our proposed framework generates distinct pricing signals for green and `black" electricity.
