Transactive Energy: A Sustainable Business and Regulatory Model for Electricity

By Stephen Barrager, Ph.D., and Edward Cazalet, Ph.D.

This book discusses applying fundamental business concepts to move electric power markets to a new paradigm -- the use of forward transactions to coordinate investment decisions and  manage risk for producers and consumers - and how the old paradigm, regulated cost-of-service and centralized resource optimization, will give wy to the new business model as the electric system evolves from centrally planned to a decentralized energy ecosystem.
