Open questions, objections and unresolved design issues.
Critiques
Key questions include:
- How should bidding zones be defined?
- When should zones be split or merged?
- How much intra-zonal congestion is acceptable?
- Do zone boundaries become politically difficult to reform?
- Does zonal pricing provide sufficiently granular investment signals?
- How should distribution constraints be coordinated?
- Is redispatch simply relocating costs outside the main market price?
The architecture deliberately trades physical precision for market simplicity.
