Market Strategies for Key Electric Industry Players

Length: About 80 minutes
Subscription: 15 days
Cost: $69.00

Prerequisites: Electric Industry Overview (online course) or a general knowledge of the electric industry including the basics of generation, transmission, distribution, customers, and regulation.

This course focuses on the market strategies used by four common electric market participants (UDCs, independent generators, wholesale marketers, and retail marketers) to create earnings while managing physical risk in electric markets. The course begins with a look at the key risks faced by market participants and the physical tools used by each to manage them. The course then focuses on each of these participants individually and considers the risks that are most important to that participant, how they are handled, how markets can be used to maximize profits, and the key skills necessary for success. This module is also included in the full-length course, Electric Market Dynamics.
