NORTHEAST POWER MARKET OUTLOOK: 2002-2010

by Dr. Edward Krapels, Ph.D.

A new ESAI study, Northeast Power Market Outlook: 2002-2010, examines how proposed transmission pathways, load evolution, and new power plant construction will coalesce over the next eight years. The report provides power price forecasts and zonal spread forecasts for key markets, and indications of the major judgments investors and traders will have to make to understand power market dynamics.

The Northeastern United States constitutes a power market with load and generation facilities in excess of 100,000MW. The market currently consists of three power pools: NEPOOL, NYCA, and PJM. Since all three regions are committed to power market deregulation, they constitute the largest true power market in the world.

Currently, transmission constraints severely limit transfers between the regions and between the different pricing zones within the regions. In addition, the markets are organized around significantly different trading rules and regulations.

Planned power generation and merchant transmission projects will play a key role in integrating the northeast markets. The northeastern power markets will change significantly over the next decade depending on which of the projects get funded and built. The price of power and the value of generators and transmission pathways will all be profoundly affected by the increased integration, the increased depth and liquidity of the Northeast.

The Northeast power markets will become a model - a counter-model to California, if you will - of how to organize a power market. Northeast Power Market Outlook: 2002-2010 will examine all of these impending developments and provide a snapshot of northeastern power markets in 2010.

ESAI is selling the report for US $2,500. For more information contact Patsy burke, Tel: 781/245-2036:E-mail: pburke@esai.com.
