  • Payments flow from buyer to Niagara Mohawk on a quarterly basis. Negative amounts (i.e., when actual market prices are lower than strike prices) to be carried forward as credits against subsequent payments. Niagara Mohawk will never make payments to Constellation under the terms of the RSA, regardless of future market prices.
  • Strike prices are established on a monthly basis. The annual average strike price on a dollar per megawatt-hour basis are as follows:
