Risk Appetite Wanes From North to South

January 15, 2019

NYISO and NEPOOL decision-makers remain the most interested in price risk. ERCOT buyers more than doubled their interest in price risk while PJM increased slightly and NEPOOL was unchanged week-over-week. Generally speaking, the lower the latitude, the lower the interest in risk.

The risk appetite gauges above reflect the mix of fixed, flex and index volume that were priced on behalf of customer requests in the period. Total annual MWh priced represents 109,527,909 for customers with peak demand above 750 KWh.
