The Energy Bar Association’s Electricity Regulation Committee presents two panels where federal regulators, market monitors, ISO/RTO representatives, financial marketers and economists will explore the purposes, benefits, challenges and inevitable evolution of these financial products. Financial products that are traded in organized electricity markets capture differences in prices between settlement markets and locations, without the physical delivery of electric energy. Those products pose a variety of unique benefits and challenges, and serve different market purposes, such as hedging and speculation. They affect price formation, uplift costs, and the potential for future investments in these markets. In turn, the resulting market outcomes impact the viability of the products themselves. With increasing market complexity, comes a need for more sophisticated quantitative and analytical trading. And, as regulatory structures shift, some financial marketers have been replaced by new types of financial players. Where is this financial marketplace going next and why? Are the existing products well designed and what improvements can be made?
