Testing Merit-Order Effect in Turkey’s Electricity Market: The Effect of Wind Penetration on Day-Ahead Electricity Prices
Öz
Due to recent support mechanisms, the share of renewable
energy sources, particularly wind, in Turkey’s electricity generation has
increased significantly. Increasing renewable penetration is supposed to
decrease the electricity prices, which is known as the merit-order effect. Main
purpose of this article is to test the existence of merit-order effect in
Turkish electricity market. To this end, a nonparametric Granger causality test
based on wavelet transformation is applied on a daily data set covering Turkish
day-ahead power market clearing prices and electricity generation from wind
over the period between 2011 and 2018. The overall results confirm the
existence of the merit-order effect of wind in Turkey's electricity market. It
is also observed that the strength of the negative causality alters drastically
over different sub-periods.
