Matthias Janssen

Associate Director at Frontier Economics

Speaker

Dr Matthias Janssen is an Associate Director in Frontier Economics’ German offices in Cologne and Berlin. He regularly advises leading market players and public institutions on a wide range of questions around market design, regulation, climate policy, private-sector disputes (litigation) and due diligence in commoditized energy markets, with a focus on electricity, gas and hydrogen markets.

Matthias has comprehensive experience with analysing the European gas market. For example, he has been conducting studies to assess the European Commission’s Joint Gas Purchasing Mechanism (AggregateEU) or to inform the European Commission’s impact assessment on hydrogen network regulation. Equally, he has been supporting multiple energy utilities in disputes in long-term gas supply contracts. During the energy crisis he has been providing expert reports to support the application of various LNG terminal operators in Europe to apply for an exemption from energy regulation.

Before joining Frontier in 2011, Matthias worked as a researcher at the Department of Economic Theory at the University of Muenster, Germany. During his PhD he focussed on analysing electricity and gas pricing in liberalized energy markets.
