  1. Locational ICAP in New England Massachusetts Electric Restructuring Roundtable Peter D. Fuller March 26, 2004

  2. Resource Adequacy • Sufficient capacity, of the right type, in the right place • at the right time • Energy Market • LMPs do not reflect all constraints • Reserve Markets • Forward Reserves • Co-optimized Reserves are years away • Ancillaries Reserve Market(s) Energy Market Capacity Market + = + + Ancillaries Source: Corporate Branding, LLC

  3. Capacity Market • Capability to meet regional and local peak demand plus reserves • The only intrinsically meaningful features of capacity in this context are EFORd and location • Not peaking vs. intermediate vs. baseload • Not quick-start vs. thermal • Not supply vs. demand • Not gas vs. oil vs. hydro vs. . . . . • “… the Commission finds that all capacity suppliers, regardless of the age of their resources, are entitled to the same treatment in the ICAP market.”

  4. Attributes of a LICAP Solution • Promote investment in capacity-short sub-areas • Caps confound this objective • Forward signals for investment • Lack of commitment to proposal confounds this objective • Well-defined product • No progress in defining the obligations • Non-discriminatory pricing • Caps/transition payments confound this objective

  5. Maine Rest Of Pool NEMA Boston CT ISO-NE Proposal

  6. Entire ISO-NE ISO-NE w/o Maine NEMA Boston CT ‘Nested’ Approach

  7. Areas of Urgent Need • Major Market Deficiencies • Valuing Reliability Dispatch Decisions • Defining Capacity Resource Obligations • Setting Capacity Requirements • Necessary Demand Curve Refinements • Cost of Entry • Revenue Offset Assumptions

  8. Conclusion • Resource Adequacy is more than ICAP • Capacity is Capacity • LICAP Proposal is not a consensus proposal and fails to meet objectives • Nested clearing methodology is needed • Other aspects of the markets are critically ‘incomplete’
