Panelists at S&P Global’s Nodal Trader Conference discussed the impact of demand growth and uncertain load forecasts on markets.

ERCOT can ensure long-term reliability with its energy-only market, but it must operate its grid less conservatively for that to happen, said Potomac Economics President David Patton.

ISO NE CEO Gordon van Welie talked about the evolving grid in New England and how markets are changing and what the future holds as state policies drive higher demand and increasing decarbonization.

Former FERC Chair Richard Glick and former FERC economist Devin Hartman told attendees at the Nodal Trader conference that they fear for FERC's independence.
