LCG, January 11, 2013 –LCG Consulting (LCG) of Los Altos, California has released the electricity market assessment and forecast of ERCOT operations for the years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. These reports are based on ERCOT SSWG transmission topology and UPLAN simulations using ERCOT nodal protocol. Simulation results are also available for 2015 and 2017 using ERCOT Regional Planning Group’s transmission plan.

The extensive 2013 ERCOT Electricity Market Outlook report includes results of comprehensive hourly simulations of market operations as well as volatility simulations for Peaker Net Margin (PNM). The results from the extended simulations for the years 2014 through 2017 are based on most likely market conditions and are available in Excel format.

The reports include monthly forecasts of key metrics such as load zone and hub prices, ancillary service prices, top congested transmission lines, generation by fuel type, wind production and curtailment, and valuation of congestion revenue rights.

Customized details such as individual generator costs and revenues, hourly nodal prices (LMPs), transmission congestion, contingency, and other information of interest are available from the modeling results. These results can be used to assess capital investment opportunities and valuation of new and existing generation and transmission assets.
