Acerca de este curso

This program examines electricity markets from a structural, economic, and strategic perspective.

Rather than focusing on engineering or operational details, the course explains how electricity markets actually function, how prices emerge, how incentives shape behavior, and how structural constraints affect risk, investment, and strategic decisions.

Participants will develop the conceptual frameworks required to understand price formation, evaluate market risk, and make informed decisions in electricity-dependent environments.
