An Efficient Western Energy Imbalance Market with Conflicting Carbon Policies

An Efficient Western Energy Imbalance Market with Conflicting Carbon Policies. William Hogan, September 28, 2017, Paper, "A reform of the Western Energy Imbalance Market should target the right problem. Import leakage is a problem; resource shuffling is a solution. Proposed modifications for the existing EIM design target the wrong problem and would work at cross purposes to the very reasons for the EIM’s existence. There is a better approach that would address the right problem and preserve the critical elements of the existing EIM design."
