In the 1980s, some seminal works such as markets for power: an analysis of Electric Utility Deregulation by Joskow and Schmalensee and Spot Pricing of Electricity by Schweppe et al. set the foundations for electric power system restructuring toward a fully liberalized, marginal price-based market environment in which generators and end users trade. Even then, it was clear that the task was not going to be easy, but an increasingly and always significant portion of the industry and academic community thought that it was at least possible. More than three decades after the first power markets were implemented, the entire "power sector community" continues to discuss the suitability of relying on short-term market prices as an efficient signal to drive investments, especially in the current context in which not only traditional generators but also end users can decide to invest in energy supply resources, and an increasing amount of new generation investments have zero or close to zero variable costs, which some people see as a threat to the short-term market paradigm.

有效脱碳市场：重新审视市场法规和设计

在1980年代，一些开创性的作品，例如 电力市场：电力管制放松分析 约瑟夫（Joskow）和施马伦塞（Schmalensee） 电力现货定价由Schweppe等人撰写。为电力系统重组建立一个完全自由化，以边际价格为基础的市场环境（发电机和最终用户进行交易）奠定了基础。即使到那时，仍然很明显，这项任务并非易事，但是行业和学术界越来越多且始终占很大比重的人认为这至少是可能的。在第一个电力市场实施后的三十多年中，整个“电力部门社区”继续讨论将短期市场价格作为驱动投资的有效信号的适用性，特别是在当前的背景下，发电者以及最终用户可以决定投资能源供应资源，
