Two papers on electricity affordability

[Madalsa Singh]

Hi MES community, 

Electricity affordability is a salient policy concern right now. We have two papers out which shed some light on why prices have been increasing (in California) and how do we think about designing electricity prices while balancing efficiency and affordability. 

Papers below: they are open source but also available on my website. Feel free to reach out if you have thoughts. 

1. Wires and fire: Wildfire investment and network cost differences across California's power providers.  [blueskythread]
2. Retail rate design for decarbonized and resilient electricity systems [bluesky thread] 

Kind regards, 

Madalsa
