US Department of Energy Grants Extension to Delaware Power Plant Operation Period A recent decision by the U.S. Department of Energy has granted an extension for the operation of the Delaware power plant, also known as the Delco power plant, until further notice. This move aims to maintain the reliability of the regional electrical grid in the area, following earlier decisions made during the Trump Administration that previously prohibited the plant's closure. The PJM Interconnection, a key player in the region's grid operation, has played a significant role in this ongoing situation, and it is expected that the costs associated with keeping the plant operational will ultimately be borne by electric customers.

Wholesale Power Prices Experience Further Declines in PJM and SPP Wholesale power prices in the PJM Interconnection and Southwest Power Pool regions experienced declines on November 20th, with West Hub day-ahead contracts averaging a decrease of around $14.25 to settle at $63.50 per megawatt-hour (MWh). The decreases were attributed to bearish market conditions, largely driven by forecasts of warmer temperatures for the following day, which are expected to lead to lower power demand. In addition to these regional trends, US natural gas prices also showed mixed performance, with some markets experiencing declines while others rose slightly.

Central US power prices surge due to colder-than-expected temperatures Power prices in the US surged on November 10, particularly in the PJM Interconnection service area, as forecasts indicated colder-than-expected temperatures stretching from Chicago to Philadelphia, leading to a significant spike in energy demand and subsequently rising prices. According to Platts data, peak power prices reached nearly $92/MWh, while off-peak prices increased over $33.75. In contrast, other regions experienced price drops due to anticipated warmer weather, including the Midcontinent Independent System Operator's (MISO) Indiana Hub, which saw a substantial decrease in day-ahead prices after wind generation rose and solar power dropped.
