Ebook Quantifying Risk in the Electricity Business: A RAROC-based Approach

Submitted by wulan on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 02:29

In 1997 the EU directive 96/92/EC started the deregulation process of European electricity markets with the goal of achieving a more efficient supply with electricity in competitive markets. In Germany this directive was implemented through the amendment of the power industry law in 1998. This liberalization led to the establishment of a regulated electricity market, which institutionalized itself in two electricity exchanges, the EEX in Frankfurt and the LPX in Leipzig. In the year 2002 both exchanges merged to bundle market activity.

Electricity companies were forced to deal with the new situation. In reaction, energy trading companies were established, which should act as intermediate between the power generating and the sales businesses, as well as with the outside market. These trading companies are responsible of capturing and evaluating the risks occurring when electricity is traded at a spot and future market.

Mental health has been hidden behind a curtain of stigma and discrimination for too long. It is time to bring it out into the open. The magnitude, suffering and burden in terms of disability and costs for individuals, families and societies are staggering. In the last few years, the world has become more aware of this enormous burden and the potential for mental health gains. We can make a difference using existing knowledge ready to be applied. We need to enhance our investment in mental health substantially and we need to do it now.

What kinds of investment?
Investment of financial and human resources. A higher proportion of national budgets should be allocated to developing adequate infrastructure and services for mental health. At the same time, more human resources are needed to provide care for those with mental disorders and to protect and promote mental health. Countries, especially those with limited resources, need to establish specifically targeted policies, plans and initiatives to promote and support mental health.
