Electricity-market reform in fact requires more and accurate regulations rather than deregulations. The availability of technologies determines which type of market structures are more economical effective. For example, if the smart meter technology is not available, a competitive retail market is less efficient than a monopoly retail market. Furthermore, renewable energy's integration fundamentally changed the electricity-market structure. Consequently, those conflicts results in both market failures in the electricity market and weaken the ability to reduce emissions. For example, wind energy’s ability to reduce CO2 is fundamentally contingent upon the dispatch-protocol selection in an electricity market. The current electricity market design must be reshuffled according to the new technology’s characteristics. For instance, switching dispatch protocol in the electricity market in Texas can increase wind energy's ability to reduce CO2 by 33%.

Yang Yu is Ph.D candidate in Stanford University. He earned his MA in Department of Economics in Stanford University. Before entering Stanford, he studied Math and Environment in Nanjing University and Johns Hopkins University.

His research concerns environmental and economical outcomes of electricity-market deregulation and market design, he also research on energy policies on car market. He is also a Pre-doctoral Fellow Stanford Center at Peking University. In 2015, his research about conflict between wind energy integration and financial transmission rights is awarded as the Best Student Paper by International Association of Energy Economics (IAEE). His another research about wind power’s market power is awarded as the Student Paper Award by United States Association of Energy Economics(USAEE)
