Content: The financial side of expanding renewable energy

Study materials: RES are now the cheapest source of electricity per unit of energy produced. Revisit how this happened and what factors behind it in the last part of the Agora's "Word on..." series (2018c, attached). That is a good news but as we know from the last week, integrating vRES into the system takes more than replacing one type of source with another.  Learn more about the challenges that the current markets and vRES introduce to one another in this video by TU Denmark's Pierre Pinson (check his other videos and get one renewable energy course for free).

Get ready: How do vRES affect the markets? How do they affect the conventional producers? How do the markets limit further deployment of vRES? What changes in the market design do we need to smoothen the transition?
