Historical Rate Inflation in NY
The figure to the left
illustrates the
increase in electricity
prices in the
commercial sector in
New York from 1970
to 2007. The
compound annual
growth rate over the
period is 5.0%.
A forward modeling of the historical New York commercial sector rate data indicates that the
average compound annual growth rate over a 20-year period is 5.1%. The analysis shows a
75% probability of experiencing a CAGR of 3.6% or higher and a 25% probability of
