West Power Tracker: Loads, high temps strengthen September prices on year

摘要

Sustained summer weather and steady demand led day-ahead on-peak packages to average higher on the year, an S&P Global Platts analysis shows. Across the board in the West, day-ahead on-peak packages trended up on the year. The corresponding Pacific Northwest prices each averaged about 6% higher over September 2019 than over the same period in 2018. Mid-Columbia averaged at $30.96/MWh, peaking on September 5 at $67.61/MWh.
