• The cannibalization effect of wind and solar in the California wholesale electricity market (2020, background): “Although Hirth et al. (2015) define the value factor as the ratio f unit revenues and load-weighted average electricity prices, both irth (2015) and Clò and D’Adamo (2015) use the unweighted averge price for their VF calculations.”
• Decreasing market value of variable renewables can be avoided by policy action (2020, background): “New nuclear or CCS could compete with VRE under a CO2 policy and limit the ultimate VRE penetration, depending on the costs, but they would not affect the conclusions on market value.”
