“The method of delivery was like being in a very targeted lecture and I feel more confident about my understanding of the topics covered in the training!”
Economist, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)“An eye opener for someone new to the industry.”
Consultant, FTI Consulting“A great course to get a first approach to the U.S. FTR Markets fundamentals and its best practices. Many ideas from this course will help the ongoing reformation on the FTR's regulatory framework in the Regional Electricity Market (MER in spanish) in Central America.”
Analista de Derechos de Transmision, Ente Operador Regional (El Salvador)This course will explain the key concepts of financial transmission (FTRs) and congestion revenue rights (CRRs) and their operation in nodal electricity markets. The general principles underlying the allocation and auction processes for buying and selling FTRs/CRRs will be examined. There will also be an overview of how all the North American ISOs implement their FTR/CRR and congestion-based mechanisms, including the different terms assigned to similar functions. The financial impacts of these structural elements will be illustrated with examples of scenarios from the varying perspectives of market participants who engage in FTR/CRR transactions to serve as load-serving hedges vs those who trade them as financial (speculative) instruments.
