We study market equilibria that are achieved by strategic firms that participate in electricity and natural gas markets. Strategic firms submit their offers and bids to both markets with the aim of maximizing profit or utility and we consider firms that can include a combination of electricity and natural gas supply and demand. The strategic actions of these firms are represented by upper-level problems that are optimized subject to shared lower-level problems that represent the clearing of electricity and natural gas markets. This market structure and our modeling approach yields a multiple-leader/two-follower complementarity problem. We develop a modeling approach that can find equilibria with different characteristics, e.g., maximized social welfare, producer profits, or consumer welfare. We demonstrate numerically that producers aim typically to increase market prices while consumers seek to decrease them.
