The USAEE Virtual Case Competition is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for student teams to apply their knowledge of economics, engineering, and policy analysis. Participants will demonstrate their skills and ideas for potential employers, contribute to solving challenges in the field of energy economics, and compete for monetary prizes. This year’s case problem will be related to economic policy and regulatory issues associated with the integration of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) into existing energy systems. Participating teams will work on the designated case problem over a period of three weeks and submit a written report detailing their methods and solution to USAEE. The two teams with the best solutions will be invited to present their results at a virtual event in September. The competition winners and runners up will be invited to attend the 41st USAEE/IAEE North American Conference, November 3-6 in Baton Rouge, LA with registration fees waived to receive their prizes at the Awards Luncheon during the conference.

Did you know that #USAEE has chapters in several U.S. cities, including Houston? Find a local chapter on a USAEE website or start your own with the guidance of Anastacio Baleva, the USAEE council members. Chapters are welcome to create their own programming, including webinars, lectures, luncheons, and even conferences. Below is a snapshot from the Houston Chapter April 2024 Meeting, where Mike Lynch spoke on the topic "A Skeptical View of the Energy Transition".

Curious about the future of electricity markets dominated by intermittent renewable energy sources and if it will replace the conventional merit order? Werner Antweiler (UBC Sauder School of Business) and Felix Muesgens' (Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg) research explored these questions about electricity markets in Texas and Germany. Their findings reveal the emergence of a 'new merit order' in market equilibrium. Despite the dominance of intermittent sources, energy-only markets remain not only viable but also functional.
