Abstract
Future research on the retail electricity sector should focus on several areas. These include the viability of direct load-control approaches to demand response, valuation of storage technologies and their participation in energy and ancillary services markets, spatial and temporal pricing of distribution network services, and strategies for retailers to market dynamic pricing and low-carbon energy solutions to consumers. Some of these research topics are more urgent in regions where a forward-looking approach is going to be taken. We discuss who will benefit from future research and how it can be approached in different phases and across different regions.
