A snippet:
Here's a striking monthly change: If you value the Ontario portion of the market as the hourly demand at the Hourly Ontario Energy Price plus the overall total for the global adjustment, you'll find, based on the IESO's estimate of a $593.7 million, that July's total Ontario market value rose $10.2 million from June, while the total electricity demand rose 1.7 million MWh.
That makes the incremental cost of the additional supply required in July less that 7/10ths of a single cent/kWh.
Which is nonsensical: the highest demand months are the lowest cost months only because of extraordinarily poor market design.
