Abstract:
This study explores whether the market concentration affects the wholesale prices of electricity generation among companies by drawing 15-min frequency data related to electricity production, wholesale prices, and electricity demand in August 20XX during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) model estimates show a positive relationship between market concentration and wholesale energy prices. The study recommends the adoption of policies to reduce market concentration and enhance clean energy development.
