Author Description

This report is based on discussions in the CEPS Task Force on Reforming the Market Design of EU Electricity Markets. The Task Force met three times between November 2014 and May 2015. Participants included senior executives from a broad range of industries--including energy production and supply companies, energy-intensive industries and service companies--and representatives from business associations, non-governmental environmental organisations, research institutes, think tanks and international organisations. A full list of members as well as observers and speakers appears in the appendix. Task Force members engaged in extensive debates in the course of three meetings and submitted comments on earlier drafts of this report. Its contents contain the general tone and direction of the discussion, but its recommendations do not necessarily reflect a full common position among Task Force members, nor do they necessarily represent the views of the institutions with which the members are associated. Fabio Genoese and Christian Egenhofer are co-authors of this report.
