Ken Nelson brings a uniquely broad perspective to the REC market. He has traded the North American energy markets since 1989 in biofuels, propane, natural gas and power and has been active in RECs as a supplier, aggregator and compliance buyer. Ken has experience in a number of compliance and voluntary environmental credit markets, including Energy Efficiency Credits, RINs and LCFS Credits, Greenhouse Gas Credits and Offsets, and Federal Emission Reduction Credits.

During more than 20 years in physical and financial energy markets, Ken has managed regional power desks (where he traded the term, spot, speculative, and asset books); and traded natural gas, power, transmission congestion, capacity, emissions, and renewable energy credits. His experience spans every NERC power region and North American gas region, including Canada and Mexico. Prior to co-founding Blue Delta, Ken led the renewables desk at Element Markets.

Ken also has worked at Sempra Energy Solutions, where he was a regional pricing director, and at Citigroup, TransAlta, Dynegy, PG&E Energy Trading, Enron, and Texaco. He holds a BS in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana and an MBA in Finance and Business from the University of Houston.
