Dig Deeper into How the NCX Model Works
Dr. Joe Shannon works extensively with the NCX modeling system to validate and improve its predictive strength and utility in our carbon exchange. He will discuss how the NCX model continues to evolve over time through updated inputs and methodologies. We will look at how model improvements have resulted in assessment results changes and what to expect going forward.
