Research area 3 - Future energy markets

What is this research area about? 

Reorganizing the energy sector is one of the cornerstones of the transition to a low-carbon society, driven by the Paris Agreement and EU's climate programme.

We focus on the development, design and implementation of the future energy market in Norway and in Europe.

Our researchers will assess future European market design and integration of markets for energy and flexibility, with particular emphasis on decentralized markets that focus on consumers. We will also contribute to evaluating Norwegian interests, where our low-emission energy resources can be valued and utilized within such a market framework.

We will determine the role of the energy market and the potential in the future energy market – in the transition to an energy system with zero emissions, and to facilitate a future low-carbon society.
