Panel discussion: Power Markets & Power Pricing
Monday, March 17 | 1:35 PM – 2:20 PM MST
Speaker: Pat Milligan, Senior Manager, Power Markets Advisory
The average retail price of electricity rose 3.7% on a nominal basis in 2023, and 2024 prices may be only incrementally higher if the geopolitical landscape remains relatively stable, despite extreme weather, interest rate changes, FERC rulings, and load growth. This session will discuss the state of U.S. power markets, pricing curves, project valuations, and the economic useful life of projects. .
- What are the latest price trends across energy markets? Are forecasts changing? What regions are seeing the most demand growth? Are ERCOT redesign, MISO’s reforms, CAISO’s storage initiatives, or any other change affecting outlooks? Are trends in load growth impacting pricing?
- Forward price curves, risk assessment, and long-term project valuations: What are the assumptions and expectations vs. the reality? How accurate is forward pricing given data center demand?
- What regions are seeing what issues? Are capacity markets functioning with higher renewable penetration, or are generators being squeezed? How is ERCOT market redesign playing out?
- Is the economic landscape affecting pricing and project bankability? Are the costs of climate events being factored in? When might decarbonization technologies change O&G pricing assumptions?
