SEPEH: Competitive Electricity Market Ensures Lower Costs and Sustainability

The Association of Electricity Suppliers (SEPEH) reaffirms its position on the importance of the competitive electricity market, which it considers the most efficient and transparent model for both consumers and the energy transition in Europe. According to Europex and Eurelectric, this model ensures the efficient use of resources and the formation of affordable prices. Europex recently stated that marginal pricing – the basis of the competitive market – is the most efficient foundation for energy market operation, contributing to reduced operating costs and increased transparency. Eurelectric, for its part, emphasizes the need for regulatory stability and investment predictability, as strengthening clean energy is the key solution for reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels. SEPEH points out that continuous changes in electricity market design may increase uncertainty, delay investments, and ultimately burden consumers with higher costs. The preservation and strengthening of the competitive market remain fundamental to the sustainability of the energy system and the achievement of the green transition. Marginal pricing, as the foundation of the competitive market, contributes to reducing operating costs and enhancing transparency. Stability and predictability are crucial for attracting investment in clean energy, which is the solution for reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels. In summary, SEPEH highlights the importance of maintaining the competitive electricity market as a key pillar for energy security, economic development, and environmental protection.
