NYISO Market Overview
About NYISO: The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) coordinates the movement of electricity throughout New York State. Created in 2000, NYISO offers over a decade of historical wholesale power price information that can be useful in the evaluation of power purchasing options in the region.
As illustrated below, wholesale power prices in NYISO dipped to record lows in 2016, but have since ticked upward. Prices are expected to continue to slowly trend upward in the near-term. Around-the-clock pricing at NYISO Zone A averaged $26.48/MWh in the past 12 months, and is expected to average $26.98/MWh in 2017, based on a combination of early 2017 prices and OTC power forwards, as of late March 2017. Going forward, forecasters expect wholesale power prices to stay low, due to slow growth in power demand and modest gains in natural gas prices. With an aggressive state energy policy in place — seeking 50% renewables by 2050, as well as incentivizing energy efficiency improvements — New York will likely limit the growth of its wholesale power prices.
