@TKavulla@PA_PUC I agree with you there. If any should be "protected" it should the resi. That said, the entire pricing structure of the power mkts is broken, incentives misplaced, prerogatives allocated exactly wrong.
@fancy_1982@TKavulla my gut isthe arb lost to incumbents is maybe 20% or more of a 4,200 TWh mkt - the biggest arb oppty I have ever seen in my career.
@fancy_1982@TKavulla ok... but nodal is also a sham in that it does not get to root of prob. leaves term mkts to incumbents so they can trade into massive vol when it occurs, AND covers all their costs when lmps are soggy...
@lawofruby amazing articulation of that judicial proceeding. thx and very clear... I may be wrong, but I recall a section in the Isaacson book on Leonardo, speaking to similar conclusion of in and out of body viabilities... thx good work.
@JoshuaBasseches There is no doubt that the dominant bias in utility is status quo...no competition. Utility space in the US is probably the only 'unreconstructed' market opportunity... left.
@TKavulla no doubt. Premise 1: power mkts in US are broken. 2: utils arent gonna fix them. 3: if you know your load, know your gen, why all the vol? Because incumbents can trade into it.... party on garth!
@SimonMahan exactly, it is not exactly a suprise. remember, the incumbent generators (conflicted as they own the means of delivery), love these high prices. They cover up alot of mistakes and give them juicy profits,
