The response of McCullough Research rebuts the defenses of the NYISO and the New York PSC, and points to additional evidence of possible hockey-stick bidding and market manipulation:
In the twelve months of bidding data currently available from the New York ISO, 585,043 bids – approximately 12% of the total – had prices above $900/MWh. Since natural gas units at standard efficiencies would not normally have marginal costs above $200/MWh, this is a surprisingly high number of anomalous bids.The Assembly Committees have now asked the NYISO to provide answers to additional questions.
