Jim Bushnell - Conduct provisions in electricity markets
Episode 14
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
I'm talking to Jim Bushnell, an Associate Professor at the University of California, Davis – who was in New Zealand in August as the S.T. Lee fellow at the New Zealand Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation. Last week's instalment was the last official episode in the series where Jim reflected on where the current stories about price manipulation in US power markets may end. While we were wrapping up, I asked Jim about conduct provisions – which Gasman asked about on my blog way back in August last year. This is what he said. Topically enough, it's very close to where the Wholesale Advisory Group got to in its review of Pivotal Pricing.
