The New York capacity market, orchestrated by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), is a critical component of the broader New York energy markets. This intricate market ensures that
PJM is one of seven Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) responsible for running the high voltage electric transmission grid in North America. This blog post will
In the U.S., seven Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) are responsible for running the high voltage electric transmission grid in North America and Canada. With a
The widespread adoption of renewable energy resources into the worldwide electric power grid has drastically increased the complexity and risks involved in the daily operations of market participants. In previous
Today, utilities that serve load are faced with a multitude of risks in the wholesale market. Prices can be high and volatile, and forecasts are often inaccurate. Having the

Discussions about electricity markets can be so blurry. And perhaps a bit intimidating. About ten years ago, I represented a very small Midwestern city in an arbitration proceeding against a
Are you tired of hearing how big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will eventually solve all complex decisions in the energy markets? Blame it on baseball. Seriously. Sabermetrics began
Obstacles & Opportunities Abound in Non-RTO Controlled Regions. The flood of utility-scale solar projects in the U.S. Southeast is accelerating a previous trend toward increased reliance on natural gas and
Last week, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published new research on the growth in utility-scale hybrid projects. The study’s findings, published in The Electricity
When it comes to reducing risk and maximizing value, the most successful market participants do much more than just bid load and offer generation into the day ahead (DA) market.
