Danish and German experience of wind power is critical to our understanding of the potential for wind power development in the UK. REF has commissioned Mr Bach, formerly Planning Director for the Danish grid operator, Eltra, to conduct a major empirical study of the impact of wind power energy flows on spot prices in Denmark and Germany.


The study examines the relationship between wind power flows and electricity spot prices in Denmark and Germany for the years 2006 to 2008.

The summary and overview is available here.

The study was officially launched on the 13th of May 2009 at the offices of Herbert Smith LLP in London.
