Amperon Says El Niño Clouds Could Lift Southern US Power Prices in Winter 2026-2027
Bitget2026/10/28 14:27- Amperon warned El Niño could lift US power prices in winter 2026-2027 as southern cloud cover reduces solar generation.
- Reduced battery charging could tighten evening supply in California; simultaneous solar weakness and wind lulls pose scarcity risks in Texas.
- Dry northern conditions threaten hydropower supply into summer 2027, potentially reducing exports to California and Canadian deliveries to the Northeast.
- ERCOT’s winter peak could reach roughly 78 GW versus a median near 63 GW, according to forecasts dated October 23, 2026.
- PJM’s upper-end winter peak forecast reaches roughly 141 GW versus a median near 120 GW, with supply margins already tight.
