Transmission pricing in Private-Owned electricity Grids: An illustration from the Argentine Electricity Pool

Pricing of electricity transmission grids is a challenging subject, due to the presence of economies of scale and density, lumpy investment, and the requirement to continuously keep the network balanced There exists a demand for regulation not only for protecting grid users from the exercise of mark...
