It's like driving down the road with a speedometer swinging between 55 and 85 and a cop sitting in the medium. Do you speed up or slow down? Going the wrong way could get you a day in court. Multiple units OOM, Gen bid guarantees, BME' s $900 in every zone, hugh positive congestion one hour, hugh negative congestion the next (Zone P), RT prices $60-90 and neighboring ISO's in the high hundreds (PJM) and $1000 for three hours in ISONE and one can only wait and see what the uplift was. I may get my cocker spaniel to stick his head out the window and use the elevation of his ears as a speed estimate. How the heck does one drive in the NYISO market?
