With so many factors at play that affect our electricity prices as Winter exits the stage, how can we know when is a good time to lock a rate? Tariffs are in the wind, natural gas production, exports and prices are up, storage is low. ISO-New England has traded its Forward Reserve Market for the Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative (DASI)—what effect will this have on electricity rates? The standard offer of $0.1061 and $0.1056 is getting harder to beat these days; will that last or do compelling opportunities lie around the corner? Constellation’s market guru, Brandon Fong, will bring us insights that may guide us make informed decisions on our next energy moves.
