NEPOOL Owns the News

January 27, 2025

Last week we reported that buyers and brokers in NEPOOL made a big reversal and landed at 19% of pricing requests that included market-based risk. This week the story has reversed. This group of market participants has zero interest in market-based risk products, preferring fixed-price solutions in 100% of their pricing requests. NYISO and PJM pricing requests also slid in the direction of fixed-price. ERCOT, the traditional risk appetite leader, assumed the top spot again with flex or index solutions representing 19% of pricing requests.
