  • Abstract
    Trilateral market coupling (TLC) was launched in November 2006 in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The initiative results in a sharp decrease of hourly price differences. This paper analyses whether the price convergence obtained, also reduced price volatility. Evidence for a significant price volatility reduction has only been found on APX. One possible explanation is given by introducing the volatility reduction potential based on the non-simultaneous occurrence of shocks.
