Welcome to the Electricity Market Indicators dashboard
Overview of the electricity industry and how market indicators inform supply, demand, pricing and risk management. This dashboard summarizes the top indicators that matter most.
Overall Status
Electricity markets show balanced conditions with moderate demand and adequate supply capacity. Watch for changes in gas prices and reserve margins.
Key Indicators
- Wholesale Power Forward Curve (12-60 months) – Long-term price curve for electricity contracts.
- ISO Load & Load Forecast (demand trend) – Current and forecasted load conditions.
- Reserve Margins / Capacity Tightness – Measures spare generation capacity versus demand.
- Natural Gas Price (key fuel driver) – Natural gas price as a key fuel for power.
- Heat Rate / Spark Spread (gas → power economics) – Efficiency of converting gas to power.
- Generation Mix & Outage Rates (forced + planned outages) – Resource mix and outage data.
- Transmission Congestion / LMP Spreads (basis risk) – Congestion and locational price differences.
- Renewables Output + Weather (wind/solar + temps) – Renewable generation and weather impacts.
- Fuel Inventory / Supply Constraints (gas pipeline limits, coal stockpiles) – Availability of fuel resources.
- Volatility Index (power implied/realized volatility) – Measures of price volatility.
