Market Design, Competition & Market Monitoring for ISOs & RTOs

CRA’s Energy Practice helps ISOs and RTOs design and evaluate wholesale electricity markets that promote efficient outcomes while supporting reliability and competition.

Our experts bring deep experience in organized electricity markets, market economics, regulation, and quantitative analysis. We evaluate how market rules affect participant behavior, investment incentives, prices, reliability, and consumer outcomes—and how proposed changes may perform under different market conditions.

CRA can support the development of new market constructs, evaluate existing rules and market performance, and provide independent analysis of competition, market power, and participant behavior.

Our services include:

  • Energy, capacity, and ancillary-services market design
  • Price formation and scarcity pricing
  • Capacity-market design and performance
  • Market-rule evaluation and redesign
  • Market performance assessment
  • Market power and competitive analysis
  • Participant behavior and incentive analysis
  • Economic and quantitative market analysis
  • Market simulation and counterfactual analysis
  • Regulatory and stakeholder support
