ERCOT Market Outlook: Taking a Spin at the ERCOT Casino

With the usual weather uncertainty being amplified by the uncertainties in demand growth and supply buildout, the ERCOT market is getting more wild.

While load growth and the need for new capacity are certain, whether power markets hit the jackpot will depend on how all these shifting factors align in any given year. This annual and seasonal variability in market conditions increases the importance of risk management strategies for both generation and load, as generation seeks to prop up the mild years and load seeks to mitigate the wild ones.

In this webinar, Dr. Gary Dorris, CEO at Ascend Analytics, and Dr. Brent Nelson, Managing Director of Markets and Strategy, discuss Ascend’s latest ERCOT forecast release as well as opportunities and risks for generators, investors, and LSEs.
