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.

Electricity Markets Forward pricing rose across all markets this past week in correlation with a dramatic increase in the underlying cost of natural gas.

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

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

Electricity Markets The NYISO and ISO-NE continued their upward trend as mild temperatures persisted and the Northeast continued through their re-opening procedures. PJM and ERCOT both declined on average with the most significant week-over-week change observed in Texas as anticipated summer peaks in July dropped once again.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets All ISOs, with the exception of ERCOT, saw a week-over-week gain. ISO-NE experienced its largest jump in the near-term; long-term pricing remains a very good value across all regions. NYISO movement may be related to the recent shutdown of the first of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant’s two generators.Continue Reading
Electricity Markets Each of the ISO’s saw a small gain in electric pricing over the report week with the exception of ERCOT which had a considerable spike upward. Texas is forecasting very high temps into the early and mid-part of June. The potential for record demand levels and price spikes in Texas continues to exist.Continue Reading
