Session 1: Electric Transmission: State and Federal Issues - A power generator’s success requires timely, adequate, and non-discriminatory transmission system access and usage. Regulatory bodies, often at stakeholder request, have recently initiated several transmission system reforms aiming to expand and enhance such access. This session examines those initiatives and the underlying considerations to which they are directed.
Session 2: The Role of the Market Monitor - Given the unique features of wholesale electricity markets, and in response to past questionable and costly activity in such markets, FERC requires that all U.S. RTOs have comprehensive Market Monitoring functions to ensure that the markets administered by the ISO function efficiently and appropriately, and are free from market violations, market design flaws and market power abuses. This session provides a summary of the market monitoring functions across U.S. RTOs, highlight differences among them and challenges in effective monitoring of electricity markets, and provide insights into the market monitoring function going forward.
