¿Pueden creer que ya estamos en el segundo trimestre? Dicen que las lluvias de abril traen las flores de mayo, y en Atlantic estamos generando un gran impulso mientras nos preparamos para un pleno crecimiento. Nos entusiasma compartir algunos de los aspectos más destacados de este mes al comenzar el segundo trimestre. Desde el relanzamiento de nuestra plataforma residencial PJM y algunos anuncios comerciales que llegarán pronto, hasta la preparación para EMC y la celebración del éxito de nuestra primera promoción Winter Power Play. ¡Gracias por ser parte de todo esto! 
ERCOT enters April in a shoulder-season transition with near-term pricing expected to soften as natural gas markets come under pressure from strong domestic production, mild weather, and improving storage expectations. With prompt gas falling below recent levels, power prices are seeing some relief as marginal generation costs decline and demand remains subdued. However, this near-term weakness appears temporary. Broader market fundamentals—including sustained load growth, expanding LNG exports, and tightening reserve margins—continue to support longer-dated pricing. Additionally, while global geopolitical risks have taken a backseat to domestic fundamentals in the prompt, they remain a key driver of volatility and upside risk further out the curve. As a result, ERCOT remains exposed to asymmetric summer pricing risk despite near-term softness. 
PJM is entering the shoulder season with softer near-term pricing as declining heating demand and limited early cooling load coincide with weakening natural gas prices. Strong domestic gas production, mild weather, and comfortable storage expectations are pressuring prompt gas, translating into a more favorable near-term power pricing environment. PJM’s extensive transmission ties with neighboring regions provide an added layer of short-term stability by allowing for imports during tighter conditions, helping to moderate price volatility relative to more isolated markets. However, longer-term fundamentals remain constructive. Persistent delays in the generation interconnection queue continue to slow new supply additions, while rising capacity costs and steady demand growth reinforce upward pressure on forward pricing. Additionally, while geopolitical risk has had less influence on prompt gas pricing, it remains a key source of uncertainty and potential upside further out the curve, particularly as the market begins to position for summer.

PJM Price Surge Despite Energy Boom 
Pennsylvania is producing record levels of natural gas and exporting more electricity than any other state—yet customers are seeing sharply higher power bills. Prices have risen as much as 25% in Pittsburgh and even higher in other regions. The issue isn’t supply alone—it’s infrastructure constraints, grid bottlenecks, and demand growth across PJM, the largest U.S. power market. Experts say more pipelines, storage, and generation are needed, but meaningful relief may take years as new capacity won’t arrive until the next decade. This highlights a growing mismatch between production and deliverability in deregulated markets. Axios
Texas Prices Hold Steady—but Relief Is Limited 
Texas’ deregulated electricity market is expected to see prices remain elevated through 2026, averaging 14–19¢/kWh for residential customers. While competition keeps rates below national averages, structural drivers like natural gas prices, grid demand, and transmission costs continue to pressure bills. Short-term price drops are unlikely, reinforcing the importance of contract timing and supplier strategy in competitive markets. Planes de Electricidad
Massive Capital Flow Into Texas Power for AI Data Centers 
New reporting shows billions in new investment flowing into Texas generation specifically to serve AI/data center demand. One international power developer alone is committing ~$1.5B into Texas energy assets tied to this growth. At the same time, companies like Google are reportedly planning to pair data centers with dedicated natural gas generation, rather than rely fully on ERCOT. The key shift: large-load customers are no longer just buyers—they’re becoming co-developers of generation. This reinforces a major trend: ERCOT demand growth is no longer speculative—it’s being financed in real time. Hoodline Dallas
