This webinar provides the foundational knowledge necessary to effectively engage in state and regional policy discussions around electricity markets. Experts discuss differences in how electricity markets are structured, review the basic functions of markets including their original purposes and current roles. The goal is to provide Governors’ advisors with a better understanding of the terminology, the processes, and the roles across the range of market structures.
