摘要

Average pool price on the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) system in the third quarter was significantly lower than in the previous three-month period and the same interval in 2007, reports the Market Surveillance Administrator (MSA). For the nine months, the AESO average price declined to $88.19 per megawatt hour from $92.23 in the previous three-month period. "In recent years, average monthly pool prices have been highest during July," the MSA quarterly review said. "However, in 2008, the average monthly pool price for July settled at $64.51 (per megawatt hour compared to $128.23 and $154.25 in 2006 and 2007 respectively)."
