Podcasts about electricity prices

More than a million households could be overpaying for power this winter, as more Kiwis struggle to pay the bill at all. Around half of Kiwi households haven't switched providers in five or more years, which is potentially costing them hundreds of extra dollars a year. Consumer NZ says that sticking with the same provider can result in a “loyalty tax”, as better deals are often only offered to new customers. Consumer Powerswitch Manager Paul Fuge told Kerre Woodham everyone grumbles about prices and their company, but they think it's time something has to be done about prices. He says it's causing harm to consumers and the economy, and it can't keep going the way it is, so they've started a petition. Fuge says that while some people have always struggled to pay their bills, the number of households struggling is increasing every year. “Middle New Zealand is now struggling to pay their power bill, and that's not acceptable.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years, electricity prices broadly tracked inflation. New pressures may be changing that. --- Electricity prices have become a major political issue in the United States, with policymakers increasingly focused on rising utility bills and the costs of meeting growing electricity demand. At the same time, renewable energy has often been blamed for driving prices higher. But what does the data actually show? Ryan Hledik of The Brattle Group discusses research conducted with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on U.S. electricity price trends. The research finds that, nationally, electricity prices have largely tracked inflation, though significant regional differences tell a more complicated story. Hledik explains the factors that really drive electricity prices, the role of renewable energy, natural gas, and infrastructure investment, and why electricity costs vary so dramatically across the country. Hledik also explores whether 2025, when electricity prices rose faster than inflation nationally, marks the beginning of a new era of rising electricity prices, or a temporary departure from a longer-term trend. Ryan Hledik is an alumni policy advisor with the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy and a principal with The Brattle Group.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Edward Kieswetter, Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service about the revenue service surpassing the R2 trillion mark in net tax collections for the first time, reaching R2.01 trillion in the 2025/26 financial year. The milestone comes despite a challenging economic backdrop, including sluggish growth, load shedding and global uncertainty, and reflects stronger compliance efforts, improved administrative efficiency and support from key tax categories such as VAT and PAYE. In other interviews, Raksha Darji, Principal economist at the Competition Commission talks about the latest Cost of Living Report, which shows that despite inflation easing, South African households remain under sustained pressure from persistently high prices for essential goods and services. The findings highlight how costs for electricity, water, food and education have risen far faster than headline inflation in recent years, with utilities alone increasing sharply and continuing to drive household expenses.

The Commerce Commission says electricity prices are set to rise again this year, with some households facing increases of about 5%. Commerce Commission Chair Dr John Small spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

A surge in natural gas prices this winter was a reminder of the relationship between fuel markets and wholesale electricity prices. In the latest episode of our Power Trends podcast, U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Energy Economist Andrew Iraola and Industry Economist Lindsay Aramayo unpack what drove the recent electricity price spikes, natural gas constraints, and what we can expect in the months ahead.Aramayo discussed recent price volatility, noting that wholesale electricity prices averaged about $70 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in New York prior to Winter Storm Fern. “By the time we released our February Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), those prices had increased to $220 per MWh,” she said. “That helps you see how volatile wholesale prices can be, and how dependent they are on natural gas prices.”New York relies on natural gas for residential heating and electricity production. Winter Storm Fern sharply increased heating demand while temporarily reducing natural gas availability. The disruptions to natural gas supply were caused in part by “freeze‑offs,” which occur during extreme cold when water and other liquids freeze and block the flow of natural gas.The reduction in fuel availability contributed to record natural gas withdrawals and a jump in gas prices. Iraola noted the behavior of the system in January and February often helps guide the rest of the year. If there is a large storage withdrawal, that can keep inventories below the five-year average, which puts upward pressure on prices. It also makes it more difficult to rebuild inventories during injection season, which runs from March through October.The discussion underscored why natural gas remains a key driver of electricity costs, particularly in regions like New York that sit at the end of the natural gas pipeline system. This can create tighter constraints during peak demand.According to Aramayo, data center buildout is a driver of electricity demand in other regions including the Mid-Atlantic and South. In New York, it's electrification of the transportation and building sectors that's driving demand.  EIA's reports note that natural gas will remain the dominant fuel for power generation and predict natural gas price increases, driven by stronger demand, will continue to place upward pressure on wholesale electricity prices in the coming years.The STEO reflects an increasingly complex and uncertain energy environment, the economists said. When evaluating natural gas markets, analysts consider volatility shaped by weather, infrastructure constraints, and fluctuating demand.Understanding these dynamics is essential for making sense of wholesale electricity prices and for planning a reliable, affordable grid.Additional ResourcesU.S. Energy Information Administration Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO)NYISO Winter Electricity Pricing Resource PageLearn MoreFollow us on X/Twitter @NewYorkISO, LinkedIn @NYISO, Bluesky @nyiso.comRead our blogs and watch our videos

The nation’s largest electric grid operator outlines its plan to manage rapid growth in data center electricity demand. --- PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest grid operator, is preparing to file a wide-ranging proposal with federal regulators aimed at managing the rapid growth of electricity demand, including AI-driven data centers. The plan stands out as one of the first comprehensive efforts by a grid operator to address surging load from new technologies while maintaining system reliability and limiting cost impacts on consumers. The proposal arrives at a moment when the electric grid is under growing stress. Tightening power supply-demand balances, high-profile grid failures, and a series of narrowly avoided outages have raised concerns about whether the power system can continue to meet demand reliably. At the same time, those pressures have increasingly shown up in electricity prices, which have increased sharply in many areas. PJM’s proposal tries to answer a question grid operators across the country are now facing: how to say “yes” to large new loads without turning reliability into a gamble or costs into an afterthought. The plan lays out a structured approach to integrating data centers and other large loads, with an eye toward keeping commitments realistic and aligning responsibility with impact. Abe Silverman is an assistant research scholar with the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute at Johns Hopkins University and a former general counsel to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. Tom Rutigliano is senior advocate for climate and energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council, where his work focuses on PJM. Both participated in the policy discussions surrounding PJM’s proposal, and provide their perspective on its potential impacts on grid reliability, consumers, and the potential rate of datacenter growth.

Episode 4879: Green Policy And AI To Blame For Electricity Prices Increasing; An Inconvenient Study

The average cost of gasoline nationwide is hovering near the $3 mark and could soon dip below it, that's according to industry experts. That should be good news for our wallets and the overall economy. When Americans are using less of their income to fuel up their cars, they can be using that cash on other things, especially the rapidly approaching holiday shopping season. Unfortunately, however, home energy bills are expected to rise this winter, according to a report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration this week Phil Flynn, a Senior Market Analyst at the Price Futures Group and Fox Business contributor, speaks with co-host of "The Big Money Show" Jackie DeAngelis about what's behind both of these trends, and what they tell us about the economy.
