RPU and SMMPA and Operations During Event • 12 SMMPA Members ran 43 engines (up to 88 MW) for 30+ continuous hours • Natural gas curtailed for generation, WES no available gas • CCK no available gas and failed to start on oil back up • LMPs ranged from $25 to $668 per MW • Generation extended runs were driven by emergency generation needs, not market prices • Emergency driven by generation unavailability, not high loads • MISO indicated they had 5000 – 10,000 MW of gas generation curtailed • MISO-wide wind generation dropped 8500 MW during event
MISO’s actual load was below forecast during the event MISO initiated load management Max Gen 2a/b
