Electricity Markets Electric prices remain very favorable moving into December. For those in NYISO especially, capacity markets are still trading unusually low and there is good value in locking in outer years. With the capacity that was removed from the market last April, and more to come this April, we should be seeing capacity prices tighten up more than it has thus far.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets Another pretty significant drop in the 12-month forward average for all markets, driven but a drop in natural gas and basis prices. Some of the ISO’s are starting to approach the lows we last saw in April/May. This may be a chance to recapture a missed opportunity if you held off when the market started turning upward.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets There was a large drop in all electric markets over the report week, with the exception of ERCOT. ISO-NE especially came down quite a bit from the highs seen just 2 weeks ago. This drop is again, tied like last week to the large decrease in the gas basis prices in the Northeast.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets All electric markets saw a slide downward over the report week. After some uncertainty for ERCOT this summer, TEXAS is now out of cooling season so things should remain calmer. There was no huge volatility for the ISO this summer which allowed them to come through the season fairly well.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets The uncertainty of winter outlooks and an increase in natural gas prices caused electric prices to tick up over the report week.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets Electric markets continue to remain slightly elevated over a short period of time. Keep in perspective however that these prices are still very favorable compared to historic levels. Although prices at the rock bottom levels experienced around the April timeframe, it’s unable to be determined if we will see electric rates at these lows again anytime soon.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets Forward electric prices for NYISO are still quite low and compare very favorably against the last two decades. Pricing has continued to drop week-over-week and has seen an overall rise month-over-month in response to the rising cost of capacity in the outward years. Expectations are that these costs will firm up as we move closer to Indian Point’s closure in April 2021. In PJM, the lack of load in the region is driving prices down, and rates also remain incredibly competitive. A comfortable summer in Texas led ERCOT...Continue Reading

Electricity Markets Quiet week over all with very slight increase in electric prices. Relatively tight range in comparison to last week when there was a more dramatic uptick in prices driven by the price of natural gas. The report week brought multiple peak demand alerts for ERCOT as heat peaked throughout the week.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets Forward pricing rose across all markets this past week in correlation with a dramatic increase in the underlying cost of natural gas. Uncharacteristically, ERCOT, which had dropped near $.015/kwh month-over-month due to the lack of a volatile July, took a sharp turn back up unrelated to summer heat.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets The report week brought slight gains in each of the electric markets. Overall forward prices for PJM markets have been ticking higher as the Ohio nuclear bailout issue continues to cause uncertainty. The summer is not over but ERCOT pricing has remained in check as its grid has performed very well so far this year.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets ERCOT forward electric market came way down over the report week, even with the warm temperatures and high loads. Wind generation has been constant and given comfort to TX, causing prices to level out. The remaining ISO’s are all down week over week. It’s a positive sign that there have been no big price spikes regardless of hitting peak loads Monday 7/20 in NYISO, ISO-NE and PJM. All areas are expected to hit a new peak load today 7/27. ISO-NE announced that they have approved funding to put...Continue Reading
