Conference Overview

A capacity mechanism is a measure designed to ensure the adequacy and reliability of the power system, to encourage investment in the emergence of new capacities, and further operation or development of existing capacities.

If properly designed, Capacity Mechanisms will help to solve distortion of competition, deliver energy security and guarantee such stable delivery for the future. Capacity Mechanisms can help companies to adapt to new market reality and improve return on their investment.

 GlobalBSG’s “5th Capacity Mechanisms Forum” in 2022 will have a good mix of TSO’s representatives, energy regulators, DSO’s representatives, professionals from governments and researchers.

Our speakers will reveal the updates and future challenges on the Capacity Market and the block of regional case studies will help you to learn more about different capacity mechanisms and its implementation.

Our new hybrid event will give you a great opportunity to network and learn from the experts in the field.
