Summary • Issue with pre-run logic • Summary of phase 2 results • Other thoughts
“Unintended Consequences” Pre-run Design Goal: • Help provide revenue adequacy Issue with System Derates and Self-converts: • System derate in combination with ability to self-convert (SC) 100% of ARR causes revenue problem • The severity of issuse is dependent on: • Amount of system derate • MP participation of ARR SC • Market Liquidity (Helps keep prices reasonable)
Error in Pre-Run Logic • “Unintended Consequences” solution not working as intended • Pertains to how software handles SCs • Optimization algorithm is primary contributor • Unequal Curtailment in Pre-Run (not pro rata) • Curtailment is auction based • SCs have same price but compete differently by constraint • Shadow price is dependent on SC’s shift factor on constraint • Curtailment can be “All or Nothing”
Pre-run Logic Fix Will address how curtailment is handled in the pre-run logic • Fixes minimum settled SC amount to derate % (pro rata) • Optimizes any remaining request above derate % • Allows for more equality in pre-run awards • Mitigates revenue adequacy seen in Phase 2 of TCR Market Trials Annual Auction • Consistent with current design intent

Issue with pre-run logic • Summary of phase 2 results • Other thoughts
Participation Impacts Results • Price is driven by participation • Optimization of SCs may cause high prices and can exaggerate revenue inadequacy • Since MP’s can’t depend on market liquidity: • Show up at minimum portion of ARR to be settled via: • Self-convert • Self-bid on owned ARR path (sets a floor price) • MPs leaving ARRs exposed is risky • Holistically impacts market pricing • If an MP does not set a floor price the market will
Next steps • SPP will conduct impact analysis • Time frame • Cost • MP Impact • Results will be shared with stakeholders • SPP will work with vendor to correct the pre-run logic • Detailed timeline to be presented on next Bi-weekly call • Further details to come
