Retail & Demand-Side Coordination
How consumers, retailers, aggregators and flexible demand respond to the architecture.
Retail & Demand-Side Coordination
Retail arrangements generally sit outside the zonal market-coupling mechanism.
Consumers may face:
- fixed retail prices;
- time-of-use prices;
- dynamic retail prices;
- aggregator propositions.
A retail price can expose the zonal wholesale signal, but local distribution constraints still require additional treatment.
