Argus US Electricity
Overview
The Argus US Electricity service covers the price of physical electricity markets at more than 20 North American trading hubs. Included are assessments for the price of electricity to be delivered during peak or off-peak hours on business days. It is important to note peak hours vary by market and all business day hours not defined as peak are off-peak.
Our methodology has been approved by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Committee (FERC), an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil. We are dedicated to providing our clients with trustworthy information by following federal guidelines for price reporting and use a rigorous procedure to handle confidential data.
