The United States maintains the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville), Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern), Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), and Western Area Power Administration (Western) within the DOE.
The Corps and Reclamation operate these projects to provide or manage water for such multiple purposes as irrigation, flood control, navigation, recreation, water supply, and environmental enhancement. These agencies also generate electricity at hydropower plants located at federal water projects.

Its objectives also include (..) own, operate, and maintain a high-voltage transmission system; encourage conservation; and to protect, mitigate and enhance the fish and wildlife of the Columbia River and its tributaries. Bonneville sells at wholesale and at cost the electric power produced at 31 operating federal hydroelectric projects owned and operated by the Corps and Reclamation, and the electric power produced by the non-federally owned and operated nuclear and hydro plants previously mentioned. Bonneville acquires and sells non Federal electric power and conservation resources sufficient to meet the net, non-generating, requirements of Bonneville public customers.

Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for and amending Directive 2012/27/EU. In particular, this Directive will:
• allow electricity to move freely throughout the EU energy market through cross-border trade, more competition and better regional cooperation;
• enable more flexibility to accommodate an increasing share of renewable energy in the electricity grid;
• foster more market-based investments in the sector, while decarbonising the EU energy system;
• introduce a new emissions limit of 550 g CO2/kWh for power plants eligible to receive subsidies.

Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity (Text with EEA relevance.)
The Electricity Regulation defines general market principles that underpin the important role of renewable energies and storage and establishes non-discriminatory market rules. It includes new rules on balancing markets that allow renewable energies and demand response to be more competitive, while allowing system operators a share of long-term procurement to ensure system stability.

Market rules on day-ahead, intraday and forward markets will contribute to increased flexibility and cross-border trade closer to real time, which facilitates the market participation of renewables. (...)
