For training the models yes, for inference (running the model to give answers) latency matters. This article discusses trade-offs for attractiveness of DC in remote locations, if operators want to keep some flexibility in the use case down the road: www.alvarezandmarsal.com/insights/ret...

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Paul!

The part on pardons as showing a lack of trust in institutions I found convincing (no need for them with trust in institutions, checks & balances?). However, the bi-partisan blame seems a very conscious choice. Is it out of conviction, signalling historical distance or to achieve bi-partisan appeal?

A decision.

Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass Supermärkte mit Schnellladesäulen in Städten da ne wichtige Rolle spielen werden. Häufigkeit (1-2x die Woche) plus Aufenthaltsdauer (30min+, aber nicht mehrstündig) passen ganz gut zum Ladebedarf, und guter Ladesäulenauslastung.

And here my co-authors that I could find on Bluesky: @falkoueckerdt.bsky.social & @karstenneuhoff.bsky.social , and the participating institutions @diw.de , @fraunhoferisi.bsky.social , @kitkarlsruhe.bsky.social , @oekoinstitut.bsky.social, IREES

Since its one of my first activities on Bluesky in a long time, maybe of interest to @matthiasdeutsch.bsky.social , @energyhuber.bsky.social , @marcowuensch.bsky.social , @gnievchenko.bsky.social , @wpschill.bsky.social , @plehmann.bsky.social and hopefully others

Thank you especially to my co-authors (and my co-corresponding author Johannes Eckstein) and to Friedrich v.Schönfeld @bmwk.de (German Ministry) for the many productive discussions we had (during my time @diw.de), on the design of CCfDs over the course of their implementation – I learned a lot! 6/6

We also compare CCfDs to other policy instruments that (among other goals aim at) industrial decarbonisation, such as the EU innovation fund, the SDE++ or the IRA (so maybe even interesting for people across the pond @jessedjenkins.com) 5/6

3) A tender mechanism that is open & focused on all energy-intensive industries (instead of energy carriers). And which has the option to use bid levelling parameters to let sectors with different costs compete head-to-head, & thus achieve a more comprehensive coverage of sectors at lower costs. 4/6

2) The use of planned energy intensities defined at bidding time - prevents unwanted operational distortions. 3/6

1) Two-sided contracts that cover both carbon price, and energy price movements address the currently existing investment risk barrier – these price risks matter as this is where most of the cost and risks of clean energy-intensive industrial processes lie. 2/6

Meterologisch oder metaphorisch?

Für HH m.e. wenig kritisch - für EI-Industrie und Erzeuger durchaus relevant. Kann mir daher gut vorstellen, dass es für existierende Teilnehmer Ausgleichszahlungen gibt (z.b. durch FTR Allokation oder EE-Politik). S.h. auch dazu den Report oben oder hier: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
