USAEE Virtual Case Competition

The United States Association for Energy Economics (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 demonstrate their skills and ideas for potential employers, contribute to solving challenges in the field of energy economics, and compete for monetary prizes. 2025 Case Competition details, including case problem,  opening of registration, and case problem distribution and deadline dates will be announced at a later date. 

The two teams with the best solutions will present their results at a virtual event prior to the start of the 42nd USAEE/IAEE North American Conference. The competition winners and runners up will be invited to attend the conference, which will be held November 16-19, 2025, at The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas (with registration fees waived) to receive their prizes at the Awards Luncheon during the conference.

The competition is annually open to students from all over the world. Teams need not be USAEE/IAEE members to register and submit an entry. Any combination of students is permitted (mixed majors, mixed undergrad/grad, mixed universities). For additional details, refer to the most recent Case Competition Registration Form

Prizes are provided by long-term sponsor the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC). In addition to KAPSARC's participation, the  Saudi Association of Energy Economics (SAEE) has joined the evaluation committee for the case competition.
