Anniversaries and New Beginnings

Feeling the Ashburn

Following a short holiday week, Abby and Tim dive into DA sensitivities in the new western markets, extreme congestion in data center alley, continued volatility on the New England Clean Energy Connect, and what to watch out for as we enter meteorological summer and coincidence peak season.

Memorial Day Cool Down

With Abby out this week, Tim is joined by a special guest, Co-Founder and Head of Strategy at Grid Status, Connor Waldoch. They discussed how markets dealt with high cooling load in the East, power flow dynamics in New York with the addition of the CHPE, ERCOT’s large load forecast, and the evergreen topic of the impact of data centers on electricity rates.

Curtailing Anything but the Heat

In a busy episode, Abby and Tim break down a host of new records in the West, April curtailment trends, Tim’s trip to the PJM Meeting in Baltimore, the launch of the CHPE, and a round of heat in the East next week.

CHP E-DAM?

Abby and Tim break down the first week of operations in EDAM, hydro availability in the west heading into summer, CHPE-driven volatility in New York, data center alley congestion, and the increasingly healthy nuclear fleet.

Anniversaries and New Beginnings

Abby and Tim break down the first Day-Ahead clear of CAISO’s EDAM program, the first anniversary of the launch of IESO’s nodal market, Conastone 500kV XF congestion in PJM, and MISO summer capacity prices.
