Solution Overview
One of the most critical underpinnings of energy markets is the definition of congestion, how it factors into pricing and dispatch, and how the resulting congestion revenue should be distributed.
In Day-Ahead markets where generation, transmission, and load are more decoupled than markets like EIM, Market Operators allocate and auction Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs, TCRs, CRRs) to allow participants to hedge congestion or profit from understanding congestion patterns directly.
Utilicast has extensive experience with market operators on the properties, distribution channels, credit requirements, and settlements for FTRs.
We can offer training and business processes definition approaches to calculating exposure and hedging support.
