Abstract
The challenge of the Green agenda, to address climate change and support clean energy, is daunting. Electricity markets play an important role, directly through the current use of fossil fuels and indirectly through proposed policies that envision electrification of transportation and other sectors. Electricity market design can promote efficiency and innovation, or stand as a barrier to be overcome. Examples of current issues in market design illustrate the opportunities and tasks ahead.
