ScottMadden to Release Energy Industry Update: Wholesale Power Market Developments

ATLANTA - Sept. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- In its upcoming Energy Industry Update, ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading energy consulting firms, will examine the debate about capacity markets, discussing issues such as:

·         What of demand response? What role, rules, and dollars should apply?
·         How may Texas, currently an energy-only market, address thinning reserve margins?
·         In the wake of low capacity values in recent Mid-Atlantic and New England auctions, how will FERC address capacity market designs?

“The electric industry and its regulators continue to reshape competitive wholesale power markets,” said Stuart Pearman (http://www.scottmadden.com/bios/29/Stuart-Pearman.html), partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden. “So far we have not found the silver bullet. Instead, divergent stakeholders point to increasing trade-offs between technologies, public policy priorities, market rules, and potential impacts on grid reliability.”

For more than a decade, the ScottMadden Energy Industry Update has served as a catalyst for strategic discussion, debate, and decisions. Thousands of industry leaders rely on it for the most important trends and thought-provoking insights.
