About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) 
Forward pricing and valuation in electricity generation is a 4 half day intensive, technical hands-on course in which attendees receive comprehensive instruction on the theory and practice of making price forecasts and assessing risk in the electricity generating industry. After a discussion of electricity markets around the world, the course moves to programming and model structuring, where attendees follow the lead of the instructor in building various analyzes of forward pricing and and valuation issues.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
Learn practical tools to analyse a host of issues in electricity analysis including efficient tools to work with supply and demand data; creating flexible scenario and sensitivity analysis to evaluate power prices and marginal costs; effectively presenting short-term and long-term supply and curves; development of hydro analysis; Monte Carlo simulation and other issues.
Create demand and supply models of electricity pricing that incorporates changes in fuel prices, new capacity, demand profiles, maintenance outages to measure hourly marginal cost and total generation cost.
Study the structure of market designs around the world and simulate pricing strategies through evaluation of the California crisis and simulation exercises.
Understand the relationship between capacity pricing, reliability, loss of load probability and reserve margins through extending the short-run supply and demand analysis and modelling outage cost with different capacity configurations.
Model the economic value of different types of renewable resources in alternative markets including storage hydro, run-of-river hydro, wind and solar.
Develop efficient ways to quickly compute the levelised electricity cost of different technologies using carrying charge factors and alternative financial models and use levelised cost analysis to develop screening models of optimal resources.
Evaluate long-run marginal cost of electricity cost through simulating the value of different generating resources given load curves and simulate the effects of different capital costs, heat rates and fuel prices on the long-run marginal cost.
Compute the effects of start-up costs, heat rate curves, and transmission constraints on the value of alternative plants and the price of electricity.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Energy industry professionals – This could include roles like energy traders, pricing analysts, forecasters, risk managers at energy companies, utilities, independent power producers, etc. They need to understand electricity pricing and how to optimize revenues.
Energy market regulators – Pricing regulators at entities like FERC, state utility commissions, ISO/RTOs. They need to understand cost analysis and pricing models to set fair rates.
Energy procurement managers – At large C&I customers, municipalities, coops. They are tasked with buying electricity for their organizations at the lowest cost so need pricing analysis skills.
Energy investment analysts – At banks, investment firms, hedge funds. They need electricity pricing models for valuation of energy investments and assets.
Energy policy analysts – At government agencies, think tanks, advocacy groups. They provide advice and analysis on energy policy issues like rate design.
COURSE LEVEL
Intermediate
TRAINING METHODS
The VILT will be delivered online in 4 sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes and short classroom exercises.
Additionally, some self-study will be requested. Participants are invited but not obliged to bring a short presentation (10 mins max) on a practical problem they encountered in their work.
