Episode 3: Wisdom and wonkiness of the Market Surveillance Committee

Net load uncertainty, growing markets, opportunity-cost-based resources, and agent-based simulation of electricity market design changes are the four topics at the forefront of electricity market design. In this episode of Frequency Band, hosts Paul Dockery and Becky Robinson discuss topics that two of the field’s most respected experts on market design find most interesting.

Dr. Benjamin Hobbs and Dr. Scott Harvey are two long standing members of the ISO’s Market Surveillance Committee (MSC). In this two-part series, they share wisdom drawn from decades of experience across North American markets on the “wonkier” side of challenges facing electricity markets.
