Exposure Stress Testing • Background: • SWCAP of $7000 was effective June 1, 2014 and $9000 SWCAP will be in place June 1, 2015. • Operating Reserve price adders were effective June 1, 2014. These could increase the frequency of above-average prices. • ERCOT is seeking to measure the impact of price scenarios on exposure. • Risk: • Increased volatility and high prices could result in a significant increase in exposure under stress conditions.

Exposure Stress Testing • Uncovered Exposure: • RT exposure in excess of security posted in a stress scenario over one day. • Increased Exposure = ΣiΣ p[(Volume Escalation Factor * Real Time Imbalance Volume) * (Stressed RTSPP – RTSPP)] • Where i = stress interval, p = settlement point, RTSPP = Real Time Settlement Point • Uncovered Exposure = Increased Exposure + TPE – CRR Locked ACL - Collateral Held • A stress scenario is a market condition in which certain intervals have prices at the SWCAP and potential imbalance volume escalation.

Exposure Stress Testing • Notes: • Stress scenarios are applied only to Real Time Market. • Does not recalculate the affect on TPE (especially RTLE) once the high prices are settled. • Requires an assumption of the number of stress intervals, price, and volume escalation levels. ERCOT Public
Exposure Stress Testing • Assumptions: • April 10, 2014 data used for base case. • Prices are scaled based on January 6, 2014 Operating Day, hour 7. • Stress case intervals begin at 15-minute interval #61 (ie 15:15). • Imbalance volume escalation is applied uniformly across all Settlement Points. • Derived incremental exposure is added to existing TPE calculation. ERCOT Public
Exposure Stress Testing • Scenarios: • One high price interval with no imbalance volume escalation. • Ten high price intervals with no imbalance volume escalation. • One high price interval with 10% imbalance volume escalation. • Ten high price intervals with 10% imbalance volume escalation. Additional Scenarios: Twenty-eight high price intervals with imbalance volume similar to that of August 2011 event, during which there were 28 intervals (15-minute) that had prices close to cap over the period of August 2, 2011 through August 6, 2011 . Four high price intervals with imbalance volume similar to that of January 6, 2014. ERCOT Public
Exposure Stress Testing • Results: • Note incremental exposure includes positive values only. ERCOT Public
Exposure Stress Testing Results: Note: Of the $460m incremental positive exposure in the August 2011, $390m is attributable to net load Counter-Parties, and $70m to net generation Counter-Parties. ERCOT Public
