There are growing concerns that the increase in renewable generation capacity and deployment of demand-side resources such as rooftop solar panels will generate more uncertainty in wholesale electricity markets on both the supply and demand side. This has motivated regulators and policymakers to increase information transparency in wholesale electricity markets (e.g., see von der Fehr (2013)). On one hand, increased market transparency and the publication of near real-time information can allow electric generators to respond more efficiently to rapidly changing market conditions. On the other hand, there are concerns that increased information transparency can facilitate market power execution to increase market prices. These concerns are particularly relevant in concentrated wholesale electricity markets where firms interact repeatedly.
