Frontier Economics invites you to their event
About this event
Getting electricity grid tariffs right is more important than ever.
As Europe races towards Net-Zero, billions in network investment will be needed. But smart, strategic tariff design can help make better use of network infrastructure, reducing the need for costly upgrades. At the same time, choices about how costs are recovered from grid users will have material implications for the affordability of energy and the competitiveness of industry.
With the EU issuing fresh guidance on network tariff setting, and the UK ruling out zonal electricity pricing, grid charging is once again in the policy spotlight. Yet designing tariffs that are fair, efficient and effective remains a complex balancing act.
Join Frontier Economics experts for a live webinar as they unpack the core principles behind tariff-setting and explore the trade-offs at play.
Using real-world case studies from Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain, we will highlight how different countries are approaching this critical challenge, and what others can learn from their experiences.
Reserve your place now to gain valuable insights into one of the most pressing issues shaping Europe’s energy future.

Chloé is an economic consultant with over 10 years of experience, specialising in energy regulation and market design. She has advised network operators and regulators to define regulatory frameworks, including incentives, depreciation methods, remuneration rates and tariff structures. In particular, she helps stakeholders adapt regulatory frameworks so that they support the energy transition. This involves identifying the current and future challenges for energy networks (gas and electricity but also new vectors such as hydrogen or CO2) and the ways in which regulation can best alleviate those challenges. She’s also worked on market design issues especially in the electricity sector, for example in the balancing and capacity markets.
