Dan Roberts is a Director in Frontier’s energy practice with over 25 years’ experience of advising on European energy market issues. Dan provides market design, regulation, valuation and strategy advice to clients in the UK and North-West Europe.

Dan is currently leading our work for the Bulgarian government to evaluate its future market design options, prepare an adequacy assessment, and design and notify a market-wide capacity mechanism under the new requirements of the Clean Energy Package. He is also working with a number of Greek participants in relation to their proposed CRM.

Dan has worked extensively on broader market design issues in Europe. He supported the EC to consider options for market integration at the day ahead stage and then in relation to intraday and balancing trade. He subsequently supported the EC in considering the potential benefits of regional procurement of reserves and balancing services. He has led work for ACM to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using FTRs instead of PTRs within the context of the flow based market coupling area, and previously he led work for the Dutch regulator to consider improved arrangements for regional market integration. Dan has also worked for ENTSO-E, on issues relating to harmonisation of the imbalance settlement period, the design of cross-border participation in CRMs, the use of congestion management income, and most recently on the potential for new technologies such as hydrogen electrolysers to contribute to system services and other flexibility markets.

He has worked with a number of participants to develop support regimes for different technologies, including wind and solar, carbon capture and storage, biomass with carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen.

Dan joined Frontier in April 2004.  Prior to this, Dan was an Associate Partner with IBM Business Consulting Services and previously with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
