The political economy setup of the DE bidding zone review seems strange. Transmission grid operators have the centre stage in the debate - and an incentive to oppose a split. Q to electricity bubble: No DE split = more DE transmission lines needed = larger asset base = more profit for DE TSOs, no?
@maurerchr.christophmaurer.de assesses the ENTSO-E review in @redispatch.bsky.social , and also wonders about the almost unanimous rejection of it by DE policy circles - worthwhile listen! www.redispatch-podcast.de/e/98-redispa.... Do you think the incentive for DE TSOs above is part of the issue?
Not sure. Some years ago I would have thought so, too. But today, TSOs seem to be much less keen on investments
