What is driving it
How Penn Power buys default service supply, and at what price
Penn Power buys the power behind the price to compare in auctions held ahead of each service period, each covering a slice of the next two years. The price to compare is the average of what those auctions locked in.
Share of each month’s supply already bought, by auction, and the average price locked in
