Capacity auction results, forward zonal pricing and forecasts across PJM, MISO, ISO-NE, NYISO, SPP and CAISO Resource Adequacy.
US capacity markets pay generators, storage and demand response to be available when the grid needs them most. Each region runs its own construct — PJM's Base Residual Auction, ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market, NYISO's ICAP spot auctions, MISO's seasonal Planning Resource Auction, SPP's seasonal requirements and CAISO's Resource Adequacy program — with different products, timelines and price dynamics.
This section tracks how those markets work, where their prices come from, and which data and forecast providers cover them. It is written for the people who have to act on capacity prices: traders, originators, asset developers, load-serving entities and the analysts who support them.
Every article cites its sources — official auction reports, ISO/RTO publications and regulatory filings — and carries a visible update date.
