Companies continue to be exposed to significant energy and electricity related price risk, and this risk needs to be properly quantified. Energy and electricity companies worldwide depend on accurate information about the risks and opportunities facing day to day decisions. Statistical analysis is frequently misapplied and many companies find that "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing."
Operational decisions, capital investment, risk management, strategic positioning, litigation, and marketing are some of the many areas that require accurate information and analysis founded on sound statistical principles. This comprehensive two-day program is designed to provide a solid understanding of key statistical and analytic tools used in the energy and electric power markets. Be armed with the tools and methods needed to properly analyze and measure data to reduce risk and increase earnings for your organization.
