Abstract

AbstractThis study examines one‐day forward premiums at the hourly level on the New York independent systems operator wholesale electricity market for the period 2001–2005. Examining two representative zones, the authors show that premiums vary by hour of day, day of week, and month. We report differences in the level and volatility of the premium across zones. We measure the impact of opening the market to outsiders through the introduction of virtual bidding. Results indicate that virtual bidding is associated with lower premiums in off‐peak or near‐off‐peak hours; it is associated with higher premiums during peak hours. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
