Spring 2016 markets report reviews wholesale market outcomes during March, April, and May 2016

September 7, 2016

The Spring 2016 Quarterly Markets Report prepared by ISO-NE’s Internal Market Monitor notes that the total wholesale cost of electricity during the three-month period was $1.02 billion, down 38% compared to the market value of $1.64 billion during the spring of 2015. The average real-time wholesale energy price was $22.10 per megawatt-hour, a decline of 40% compared to the spring of 2015. The year-over-year decline was driven by lower demand due to milder weather and lower natural gas prices.
