Abstract

Competitive bidding is certainly not a new mechanism used by
regulators to secure resources for their retail customers. Actually, the
original processes and experiences were developed during a period of
traditional, tight regulation of vertically integrated utilities. Since then,
wholesale markets have become increasingly more competitive. This
article explores the opportunities, challenges and issues associated with
competitive bidding for wholesale power resources.
