Electricity Markets Events

In several regions of North America, electricity is considered a commodity and is therefore bought, sold, and transacted through wholesale power market operators known as Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). At the turn of this century when these ISOs and RTOs were established, they mostly supplanted the operation of vertically integrated utilities in the respective parts of the continent where they formed. The role of these organizations is to manage the flow of power through multiple, complex market mechanisms whose operations are designed to ensure transparency and fair access to the electricity product. Collectively, in Canada and the US they coordinate, control, and monitor some two-thirds of the electricity used and the same percentage of their population. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is responsible for regulating ISO/RTO policies and implementation measures.

EUCI offers programming to inform how these complex wholesale power markets operate and provides a forum where market participants, system administrators and economists can engage on policy matters that influence market outcomes.
