An exploration of locational marginal pricing at the distribution level in the New Zealand context
Sapere Research Group was commissioned by the Electricity Authority to assist its thinking on distribution pricing.
They were interested in finding out if distribution locational marginal pricing was possible now, and what was required to support its implementation, both practically and from a regulatory perspective.
We found that there are a range of implementation and design options, which could, in the future, be enabled through research and computational advances.
