Key takeaways from the report include the following:
- In 2024/25 PRA, clearing prices for Zone 5 surpassed $700/MW-day in Fall and Spring due to capacity shortfalls; throughout MISO, the decrease in surplus capacity indicates a rising resource adequacy risk.
- PRA clearing prices in MISO are expected to rise close to Cost of New Entry by 2040 for both MISO North/Central and MISO South, driven by rising demand and thermal plant retirements.
- Bilateral capacity prices in MISO will trend upwards for the foreseeable future, with zonal and seasonal variance.
- Market participants must adapt to changing market conditions: new resources, new contracting terms & higher stakes; those who wait to hedge will pay higher prices.
