  We develop a stochastic equilibrium model for an electricity market with
asymmetric renewable energy forecasts. In our setting, market participants
optimize their profits using public information about a conditional expectation
of energy production but use private information about the forecast error
distribution. This information is given in the form of samples and incorporated
into profit-maximizing optimizations of market participants through chance
constraints. We model information asymmetry by varying the sample size of
participants' private information. We show that with more information
available, the equilibrium gradually converges to the ideal solution provided
by the perfect information scenario. Under information scarcity, however, we
show that the market converges to the ideal equilibrium if participants are to
infer the forecast error distribution from the statistical properties of the
data at hand or share their private forecasts.
