Sam Street is a manager in Frontier’s energy practice leading projects for a variety of public and private sector clients in the UK and European energy sector, advising on a wide range of issues including electricity and gas market design, energy policy appraisal, regulation, state aid, and investor due diligence. He has over 15 years’ experience as a professional economist at Frontier and in the UK Government Economic Service.

Sam has significant experience related to capacity market design. He is currently carrying out an adequacy assessment for the Bulgarian government, and based on the outcomes of that assessment, is supporting the justification and design of a market wide capacity mechanism, and supporting the notification procedures in front of the Commission. He is also working with a number of Greek participants in relation to their proposed CRM, in particular focusing on how to integrate cross border capacity. Prior to this he has advised the UK government in relation to its capacity market, designing its approach to allowing interconnector participation and whether to discriminate between contracts of differing duration.

Sam previously worked in Department for Energy and Climate Change in the UK government, where Sam’s analysis made a key contribution to the UK’s Electricity Market Reforms, including the development of its capacity market, as well as, the setting of future subsidies for renewables investment in the UK and the design and implementation of the UK Carbon Price Floor.
