The MISO market is extremely complicated and changes on a regular basis. Just when you think you know what is going on it changes. You need expert advice from someone who knows it and is up to speed on the changes as well. You take a great financial risk if you try to manage MISO without a partner like TEA. You could easily make a $60,000 mistake in just one day if you didn’t know you needed to file something or complete some procedure. You need to manage the risk and that’s what TEA can do for you.

-Daniel Dasho,
Director, Water and Light,
City of Columbia (MISO)

As a small, fully integrated utility, we have found ourselves enmeshed in the MISO net. We don’t have the resources to follow and respond to all of the MISO forms and data requests. TEA does that for us. We don’t miss deadlines or make decisions by guessing. TEA keeps us informed and regularly teleconferences with us to answer questions and resolve issues.

-Walt Lorber
Director of Core Services, Rochester Public Utilities

Without TEA, we would never be able to afford a 24x7 trading staff. Nor would we have the market intelligence data TEA has or the depth of credit information that protects our trades. TEA’s real-time ability to execute our hedging strategies and the sophisticated risk management tools TEA makes available were significant in allowing us to begin using financial instruments to hedge our power and fuel costs. It is safe to say that TEA brings benefits to our customers every year that are many times more valuable than the costs for TEA’s services.
