SPP Market Outlook: Strike While the Iron is Hot | December 11, 2025

SPP Market Outlook: Strike While the Iron is Hot | December 11, 2025

With federal clean energy tax credits phasing out for new projects, existing wind projects nearing the end of their PTC window, and near-term load growth, SPP’s energy prices are expected to become higher and less volatile. Solar and wind projects with safe-harbored tax credits will be well-positioned to benefit from rising future power prices, while storage will be well-positioned to benefit from SPP’s currently volatile power prices and relatively high near-term capacity value. Meanwhile, load in the region will have to get used to a new paradigm of tight and expensive supply rather than historical capacity surpluses as retirements and growth in datacenters and other load drive a growing need for new capacity. Amid these changing dynamics, this webinar will discuss Ascend’s latest SPP forecast release and the opportunities and risks for generators, investors, and LSEs.
