ERCOT Takes 180

January 15, 2024

Pricing requests in ERCOT went heavy for fixed-price solutions last week.  This was an extreme week-over-week shift for market participants.  The arrival of an artic blast and record-setting peak prices could have played a major role.  NYISO and NEPOOL requests also reflected a strong preference for fixed-price.  PJM pricing requests with some market-based risk remained strong.
