The Program on Energy and Sustainable Development published a new Transmission Constraints e-learning module, the sixth module in the Fundamentals of Wholesale Electricity Markets course. The module covers capacity constraints of transmission lines and explores market responses to these challenges, including locational marginal pricing, transmission congestion, and generation in high/low transmission scenarios.

The Transmission Constraints module is the latest in PESD's short (30-60 minutes per course), highly interactive modules that aim to teach policy-relevant market principles. These tools can provide a common vocabulary and understanding of energy market operation across a diverse group of learners.
