Abstract
This dissertation applies a variety of quantitative methods to electricity and carbon market
data, utility company accounts data, capital and operating costs to analyse some of the
challenges associated with investment in energy assets. In particular, three distinct research
topics are analysed within this general theme: the efficiency of interconnector trading, the
optimal sizing of intermittent wind facilities and the impact of carbon pricing on the cost of
capital for investors are researched in successive sections.
