Transformation of Energy Markets: Description, Modeling of Functioning Mechanisms and Determining Development Trends—Third Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue addresses the global energy transformation and related changes in the functioning of energy markets. It also addresses the issue of the rapidly growing renewable energy sector and its increasingly strong links with the electricity market and the primary fuel market. Currently, the renewable energy sector is an increasingly large area of the modern economy in terms of business investment, the share of the sector’s output in GDP, energy production, and research and development. Undoubtedly, the functioning of the RE sector has had a significant impact on the functioning of the global electricity market and the primary fuels market. All of this has necessitated a new and completely different view of the changes taking place in these markets, especially in terms of electricity and primary fuel prices, as well as their institutional basis. The question arises as to what development trends will occur in the various energy markets, and consequently, how to create energy policy and carry out the energy transition, both at the national and international levels.

Topics of interest for publication include:

• Energy transformation, energy markets;
• Primary fuels, electricity, and renewable energy markets;
• Institutional determinants of development of energy markets;
• Current state and development prospects for energy markets;
• Prosumers, low-emission economy;
• Modeling dependencies on energy markets;
• Forecasting prices on energy markets.
