My numbers are high...but I'm not going to say by how much - in a nonreg market (which incl. PA ?) my impression is that legit numbers could be used for insider trading - ain't nobody got time for that.
...which, come to think of it - we just moved to PJM - which means that my old plant is kinda in competition with you guys...whoa
---I'm in NERC-CIP compliance now, so I have a cube downtown and visit the plants to help them file reports

Our combined cycle plants are running 24/7 and I'm sure come in at less than $30.

I do get our daily (PJM !) market email now - day ahead - on-peak was over $50 a few days ago - woohoo !

see what I did there ? wholesale electricity was $.05 kw-h before paying to keep the power lines up... I see prices at $.10-.13 and expect them to go up from there.
