Markets

Power Trading

Electric power trading is a critical aspect of the energy market, where electricity is bought and sold to ensure that supply meets demand in real-time. Unlike other commodities, electricity cannot be easily stored, so it must be produced and consumed simultaneously. Power trading occurs in both wholesale and retail markets, with utilities, independent power producers, and large consumers engaging in transactions to balance their electricity needs. In the wholesale market, electricity is traded through contracts, such as bilateral agreements, futures, and options, or through organized markets like Independent System Operators (ISOs) or Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). These entities facilitate the buying and selling of electricity, determining market prices based on supply and demand dynamics, grid conditions, and regulatory factors.

Our specialized training programs are designed to provide utility employees with a comprehensive understanding of how electric power trading works and how to navigate the complexities of these markets. Key areas covered in our courses include:

By participating in our training, employees can enhance their ability to engage effectively in power trading, optimize their utility’s market position, and ensure regulatory compliance. This expertise not only helps utilities manage costs and maintain reliability, but also positions them to take advantage of market opportunities, ultimately contributing to better financial performance and more efficient grid operations.
