Carbon Pricing in Wholesale Electricity Markets

Due to increased concerns over climate change, many countries and jurisdictions around the world are implementing carbon-pricing schemes to provide an incentive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Working Group (WG) C5.32 was established to examine their impacts on wholesale electricity markets and the electric power sector.  This Technical Brochure examines the results of a survey on carbon pricing and wholesale electricity markets developed by WG C5.32.
