New boost

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.

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.

Electricity Markets All electric in the near-term markets fell in response to the tumbling underlying cost of natural gas. Winter peaks in ISO-NE dropped as strong storage numbers and prolonged reopening procedures drive down demand concerns.
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.
