About the ISO’s Energy Markets
New England’s wholesale electricity marketplace includes two electric energy markets that work together in what’s called a “multi-settlement” system:
- The Day-Ahead Energy Market lets market participants commit to buy or sell wholesale electricity one day before the operating day, to help avoid price volatility. This market produces one financial settlement.
- The Real-Time Energy Market lets market participants buy and sell wholesale electricity during the course of the operating day. The Real-Time Energy Market balances the differences between day-ahead commitments and the actual real-time demand for and production of electricity. The Real-Time Energy Market produces a separate, second financial settlement. It establishes the real-time locational marginal price (LMP) that is either paid or charged to participants in the Day-Ahead Energy Market for demand or generation that deviates from the day-ahead commitments.
