New England electricity prices rose over the past week, with the NEPOOL 12-month strip increasing slightly by 5 cents or 0.1% week-over-week, settling at $52.92/MWh. Warmer weather forecasts and the approaching end of natural gas withdrawal season will likely put downward pressure on electricity prices.

The prompt month decreased just 0.9% week-over-week landing at $1.82/MMBtu after a smaller 40 Bcf net storage withdrawal. The 12-month strip dropped just a fraction of a cent week-over-week. Expected warmer temperatures decreased demand in the residential and commercial sectors by 9.4% last week.
