RTO Market Management & Trading

In addition to our bilateral market trading services, TEA offers a full suite of services to help you manage your resources in markets governed by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) or Standard Market Design (SMD).

The SMD/RTO markets are really financial markets overlaid onto the physical power system. TEA has the expertise, systems, and analytic tools to make the most of the financial attributes of these markets. Public Power utilities that do not take full advantage of all of the tools available in these markets are at a disadvantage.

TEA can benefit your utility with access to state-of-the-art expertise, tools and techniques that are usually reserved for only the largest investor-owned utilities—allowing you to compete on par with anyone in the marketplace!

Services include:

• Set-up and registration of assets
• Real-time and Day-ahead bids and offers
• Financial Schedules
• Virtual bids and offers
• Transmission rights management
• Credit and contracts management
• RTO market settlement
