Recent Work
The mission of the Center for the Study of Energy Markets (CSEM ) (formerly known as POWER), is to foster top research on energy policy in order to promote better understanding of the functioning of energy markets and the impacts of deregulation in energy industries. CSEM also seeks to develop strategies and tools that can be used by regulatory agencies and policy makers for the analysis of energy markets. CSEM is a program of the University of California Energy Institute (UCEI) and also receives significant financial support from the California Energy Commission.
