This article aims to provide a critical analysis of the European Commission communication for a reform of electricity market design, proposed primarily after the energy crisis deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In particular, the present document highlights some reflections for more in-depth analyses of the electricity market modelling trends in response to crisis factors of a purely endogenous nature (e.g. drought, heat waves, a gradual phasing out of electric power generation with regulating capacity and its replacement with intermittent generation, simultaneous stresses) in relation to a profoundly changing ecosystem.

Keywords: electricity market design, Italian electricity market, drought, simultaneous stresses.
