About the FTR yield curve
This table shows the historical record of financial transmission rights (FTR) prices for each FTR path. You can choose to view either:
- the megawatts cleared for each contract and auction, or
- the $/MWh price, which shows the FTR market's expectation of the price difference between the two nodes at either end of the path for a set number of months in the future.
A positive price indicates that the price at the start of the path (the source node) is expected to be lower than the end of the path (the sink node).
