New Models for New Energy: The Opportunity Cost Forecasting Framework

Too often, production cost modeling undervalues the importance of opportunity costs in setting market prices, as well as underpredicting renewable price-setting behavior and price volatility. Energy price formation forecasts must evolve to account for the new market dynamics – including renewable energy price volatility, output uncertainty, and opportunity costs – of the energy transition.

In this webinar discussing Ascend's proprietary Opportunity Cost Forecasting Framework, Dr. Gary Dorris, CEO at Ascend Analytics, and Dr. Brent Nelson, Managing Director of Markets and Strategy, cover new pricing drivers, what traditional forecasting approaches miss, and how Ascend forecasts are designed to reflect the dynamics of the energy transition.
