Advanced analytics, including economic and policy changes associated with increasing renewable energy, evolving power wholesale prices, growing volatility, and new price shapes driven by renewables
Simulated and accurate DA and RT prices at the nodal level that account for basis risk and localized renewable energy saturation and curtailment
Assessments for both individual resources and portfolios of resources, subject to minimum REC constraints
