8/10

The podcast features a recognized expert with over 10 years of experience in European electricity market design and regulation. The discussion is grounded in specific regulatory frameworks and recent legislative changes, and references concrete sources such as a book on market coupling and reports from Magnus Energy. The expert's insights are practical and based on professional experience, but the format is conversational and lacks formal peer review, so a high but not perfect score is given.
