Power Trading Interview

I have a final round interview with an electricity prop trading firm. So far, my phone interviews have been simple math exercises and fit questions. They were pretty vague about the structure of the interview, but given they are flying me out, I'm guessing it'll be quite a few interviews. My background is in math and data science and I'm mainly recruiting for quant trading positions so I don't have much insight into energy markets. Are power trading interviews similar to other trading interviews (brain teasers, mental math, probability) or are they more focused on specific energy markets? What are some good resources to learn about the electricity markets?
