Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM)February 14-15, 2023 | Online Sponsored by EUCI |
A dozen utilities and cooperatives in 11 Southeastern states are working together to form a new bilateral market, called Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM). SEEM will provide an automated clearing engine to match bids and offers in 15-minute intervals. The market will increase the volume of real-time energy trades by using a zero-cost, non-firm transmission product, while meeting all transmission constraints. SEEM will re-use the current infrastructure for bilateral transactions, namely enabling bilateral agreements, Etag schedules, and point-to-point transmission reservations. Planned for go-live in October, 2022, SEEM is projected to generate annual benefits ranging from $40 to $100 million per year. The purpose for this online EUCI course is to review the performance for the new SEEM market, review the trading workflow for SEEM market participants, transmission service providers, and administrators, and review strategies to maximize SEEM market benefits. The program will help staff connect the dots between front-office trade creation and submission, 15-minute cleared trades and prices, profit & loss metrics, and settlement results. It will also provide concrete case studies to illustrate how market participants can automatically create bids and offers using their resource plans and compute actual profits & losses for cleared SEEM trades using 15-minute meter data.
