This in-depth two-day program provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the structure, function, and current status of today's U. S. electric power industry; the fundamentals of ISO day-ahead auctions, LMP, FTRs and capacity markets; the operational and economic issues raised by the integration of solar, wind, distributed generation, and demand response power resources into the existing Power Grid; how to market and trade physical and financial electricity both within and outside an ISO footprint; and how heat-rate-linked, spark spread, and tolling deals are structured within and outside of Texas. Each part of this complex industry will be explained in step-by-step fashion and then all the pieces will be integrated using several clear cut examples so that attendees will leave with an understanding of "how it all fits together."
The seminar also addresses the basics of the electricity futures contracts which trade on the Intercontinental ("ICE")and Chicago Mercantile ("CME") Exchanges.
