ERCOT Electricity Market 2010 - Simulation of Zonal and Nodal Market



LCG CONSULTING is going to release a report on ERCOT Electricity Market 2010 - Simulation of Zonal and Nodal Market. This report summarizes the results of extensive hourly simulations of the current zonal and the proposed nodal ERCOT electricity market. Forecasts for energy and A/S prices, TCRs, LMPs, and congestion costs (CRRs) for 2010 are included in the report. The report can be customized to include additional details such as generator performance, hourly LMPs, transmission congestion, and other information of interest.

The simulation of the ERCOT market was conducted using UPLAN Network Power Model, which is used extensively by most market participants including ERCOT ISO for transmission project evaluation.

Please see the flyer for more information. Should you be interested in a preview of the report via webcast, please contact Julie Chien.
