NERA Economic Consulting once again joined the University of Cambridge Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG) in hosting the 2016 EPRG Winter Seminar in Cambridge on 8-9 December 2016. This year's seminar included four sessions on the following topics: the role of central planning and procurement in efficient energy systems; competition in the energy market; transmission and distribution pricing—current issues in electricity and gas markets; and barriers and opportunities for socially optimal carbon pricing.

The conference began with a meal and a keynote address at Cambridge on the evening of 8 December, followed by presentations from NERA, academic, and industry experts on 9 December.
