  1. Massachusetts Restructuring RoundtableStandard Market Design:The First Month Mark Karl Manager, Markets Development ISO New England Inc. March 28, 2003

  2. Overview of Presentation • Wholesale Markets: The New England Story • Standard Market Design (SMD) Overview • Market Cutover • Market enhancements

  3. Building Blocks: The New England Wholesale Market Story • Foundation of healthy markets • Single, region-wide reliability andeconomic dispatch since 1971 • Open-Access Transmission Tariffin place: 1997 • Foundation built by NEPOOL beginning 1971 • Regional regulatory infrastructure • 5 out of 6 states with restructuredretail markets • Highest level of divestiture in U.S. • Highly diverse marketplace with many competing interests • Wholesale market opened: May 1999

  4. Benefits Brought by Wholesale Markets • Generation investment risk shifted away from consumers • New entry: Supply picture strong • 6,000 MW of new (gas) generation added • 3,500 MW under construction • 30,000+ MW of total capacity; 25,348 MW peak demand • Proper correlation of price with supply and demand • Studies have shown markets workably competitive • Significant bilateral contracting • Over 200+ wholesale market participants

  5. Evolution: Interim Markets to SMD • “Interim” markets had recognized deficiencies • One clearing price for entire region and • No day-ahead market • Those deficiencies had negative impacts on market • Significant bidding risk for generators and risks for load • Inability to adjust positions within the day • Management of real time congestion difficult because market signals not used • Inability to hedge against energy and congestion uplift

  7. New England Standard Market Design • New England’s SMD is based on PJM’s market design • Market Rules • Software • Business Practices • Enhanced by ISO New England in several areas • Benefits of adoption: • Proven design should reduce market risk • Use of existing software reduced development costs and risks

  8. SMD Essential Features • Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) • LMP is designed to reveal the price of producing power in 8 new pricing zones • Enhanced risk management tools • Bilateral contracts • Day-Ahead Market (DAM) • Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) • Auction Revenue Rights (ARRs) • Market Monitoring and Mitigation

  9. New England Enhancements • Overall design improvements • Losses included in LMPs • FTR auction approach makes FTRs available to all in wholesale markets • Hydro units can offer energy at a price to manage release of stored water; does not address contractual issues or seasonal allocation • Comprehensive business process documentation developed and manuals and business process documentation are public • Integrated four separate transmission tariffs • Created new settlement model; potential industry standard

  10. Conceptual Change in Wholesale Electricity Pricing for Load H H November 1971 – February 2003 March 2003 2004-05

  11. SMD Cutover • Standard Market Design (SMD) cut-over was virtually seamless. • Energy prices were consistent with the cost of fuel • Higher fuel costs in the first few weeks created higher energy prices • Recently, energy prices have decreased consistent with the downward trend of fuel prices. • Software and business systems have generally worked well. • Limited number of hardware and software issues resulted in interruption of data flow

  12. Natural Gas Prices are a Key Determinant of Electricity Price Gas prices for Massachusetts delivery as per “Gas Daily” Electricity prices are “Energy Clearing Price” based before March 1; LMP-based after March 1.

  13. System Operations • Cutover went smoothly. • No reliability issues since going live. • NERC Control Performance within criteria. • RAA and real-time software and business processes are functioning as designed. • Conditions experienced in Real-time so far: • Congestion • Minimum generation emergency • Major generation contingencies • Excess ramping curtailments • Emergency sales

  14. Day Ahead Energy Market Review • Day Ahead Energy Market has experienced fairly regular congestion since the beginning, but it has amounted to relatively low dollar values • Maine Zone (individual lines) • Boston Interface • SW Connecticut Interface • NW Vermont Interface • Maine New Hampshire Interface • New England - Norwalk Stamford Interface

  15. Real Time Energy Market Review • Real Time Energy Market has experienced very little congestion • Mostly on interfaces • On-peak congestion: • Boston Interface • SW Connecticut and Connecticut Interface • Off-peak congestion: • Maine (transmission line export constraint) • New England - Norwalk Stamford Interface

  16. Day Ahead Market LMPs

  17. Real-Time Market LMPs

  18. Price Convergence - HUB

March FTR Auction 27 eligible bidders 711 bids 209 off peak 548 off peak 28,683 MW $4,839,684 511 bids cleared 200 off peak 311 on peak 17,907 MW $1,055,271 $48,231 off peak $1,007,040 on peak April FTR Auction 36 eligible bidders 714 bids 277 off peak 437 on peak 30,484 MW $3,562,052 515 bids cleared 210 off peak 305 on peak 20,575 MW $629,080 $8,144 off peak $620,935 on peak FTR Review - March & April 2003

  20. Going Forward: SMD Enhancements • SMD implementation, by necessity, relegated certain market improvements post-implementation • Survey of market participants conducted • Job 1: Maintain integrity of SMD • Price formation initiatives • Seams reduction • Resource adequacy initiatives

  21. Craig A. Kazin: See last bullet. Other Enhancements • Full nodal pricing for loads • Qualified upgrade award calculation • Pricing eligibility • Scarcity pricing • Operating reserve markets • Enhancements to web site data

  22. Capacity Market Improvements • Regional resource adequacy requirement • Locational resource adequacy requirement • Partial de-listing of capacity resources
