Supplemental Ancillary Service Market (SASM) Ancillary Services (AS) Offers Update ERCOT Market Analysis QSE Managers Working Group 10/7/2013
SASM Background • SASM is executed at 0900 each day • NPRR 397 (Approved 4/17/2012) allows entities the ability to “buy back” their responsibilities from the market closer to Real-Time • Based on the data analyzed, market participants are utilizing this ability • Reconfiguration SASMs will be cancelled if there are insufficient AS Offers to cover the total requested amount
SASM Clearing History – 2013 Data from Last Meeting Observations • When a SASM is executed, the requirement per hour is typically < 50 MW • Some SASMs in February, March, and April with 0 MW awards
SASM Clearing History – Data Since Last QMWG Meeting Observations • When a SASM is executed, the requirement per hour is typically < 50 MW • No SASMs with 0 MW awards, but still many with insufficiency • At this time ERCOT recognizes that insufficiencies exist, and ERCOT will consider using RUC to resolve these insufficiencies. • If stakeholders would like to modify this approach, please provide suggestions.

SASM AS Offers – Sample for Hour 1800 • Offers for one hour (e.g. 1800) changes over time beginning in Day Ahead Adjustment Period Expiring AS Offers DAM DAM Awards * DAM = Day Ahead Market
