Energy Convergence: The Beginning of the Multi–Commodity Market

Praise for Energy Convergence
"Another outstanding contribution to the understanding of risk management by Peter Fusaro. A useful work for the workplace, executive management training, and the classroom."
–Dennis O’Brien, Director, Institute for Energy Economics and Policy and John A. Brock Professor for Energy Economics and Policy
Sarkeys Energy Center, University of Oklahoma
"Energy Convergence identifies and addresses the key elements in the ongoing development and evolution of the energy trading markets. This book is an important addition to the literature on contemporary energy trading markets. It pulls together in one place thoughtful discussions about the way the energy markets are converging from different starting points."
–Andrea S. Kramer, Partner, McDermott, Will & Emery, and author of Financial Products: Taxation, Regulation, and Design
"Peter Fusaro is the worldly–wisest commentator on commodity markets and exchanges that I know and should have been listened to far more often than he has been. This new book provides everyone with a fresh opportunity. With several colleagues he has written the best up–to–date introduction to market risk management and energy trading which should be studied by both the new practitioner and the oldest hand on the exchange."
–Napier Collyns, Cofounder of Global Business Network, former Public Director of the New York Mercantile Exchange
"Peter Fusaro has once again assembled a team of energy professionals to provide their views on emerging commodity markets and evaluation techniques. The book provides an excellent overview of market developments and market interactions, as well as presenting the business case for convergence of commodity markets via online trading and the Internet. Overall, a very unique and insightful book."
–Wayne Moore, Manager, Risk Control, Generation and Energy Marketing, Southern C ompany
"Considering the recent upheavals in U.S. energy markets, from the California electricity crisis to Enron’s demise, this volume provides a timely introduction for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the turbulent nature and complex interdependencies of energy markets."
