Electricity Markets Microcredential Course

Well-functioning electricity markets are crucial to every aspect of our society. Starting in February 2025, Professors David Brown and Andrew Eckert will teach the continuing education course Electricity Markets at the University of Alberta. To learn more about the course and register click Here.

This short course (seven three-hour sessions) will cover the fundamentals of how electricity markets function, with a particular focus on Alberta. Alberta's electricity market is in a period of significant transition with its increasing reliance on renewable generation and evolving market framework. This course will catch participants up to speed on how we got here, the ongoing market evolution, and compare Alberta’s market to the design used in other regions. 

Lectures start on Tuesdays February 4, 2025, at 6 pm. Participants can attend lectures remotely or in person. The lectures will be recorded and made available on the course website for the duration of the course.
