Financial turmoil continues to impact the energy markets in a variety of ways. Regulatory bodies (most notably the SEC) have expanded disclosure requirements associated with risk management. As a result, leading practices and standards in market, credit, and operational risk management continue to evolve. These factors - along with steadily-increasing computing horsepower and advances in quantitative techniques - are prompting expanded application of risk measurement using "at risk" metrics. Increasingly, the proper design and implementation of risk metrics is a requirement for success, with higher and higher standards for rigor and speed.
This course is designed for utility (electric and gas) and energy industry professionals wanting rapid immersion in current leading practices regarding the selection, computation, and application of risk metrics connected with energy portfolio management. It provides a comprehensive refresher on the underlying statistics and math that serve as the foundation for today's energy risk metrics, then transitions into intermediate and advanced topics connected with articulation of risk tolerance and the selection and implementation of risk metrics in practice. It also examines the multiple forms of at Risk metrics, and when each is applicable. The course is designed to be interactive and incorporates case studies as well as real-world examples. There will also be extensive networking opportunities.
