Indiana Hub to replace Cinergy Hub

This is a final reminder notice that in the North American electricity market, effective January 1, 2012, Platts will replace the Cinergy Hub with the Indiana Hub.

Platts' change reflects the decision by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator to replace the existing Cinergy Hub with a new Indiana Hub on that date.

MISO defined the new Indiana Hub so the pricing would be as similar as possible to the former Cinergy Hub. The Indiana Hub comprises 182 nodes in the Duke Energy Indiana footprint that are part of the former Cinergy Hub. The existing Cinergy Hub comprises 336 nodes in the portion of the MISO electric grid covering parts of southwestern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and Indiana.

MISO is making the change because a portion of the area within the existing Cinergy Hub in MISO will become part of the PJM Interconnection when Duke Energy Ohio and Duke Energy Kentucky move from MISO to PJM effective January 1, 2012.

The Indiana Hub assessment will replace the Cinergy Hub in Megawatt Daily and Energy Trader, and on Platts Electricity Alert pages 502 and 503. Indiana Hub will be available under the same codes as the existing Cinergy Hub in Platts Market Data services under category ES.
