March 2012 Generic Transmission Limits (GTLs) GTL: A transmission flow limit more constraining than a Transmission Element’s normal limit established to constrain flow between geographic areas of the ERCOT Transmission System that is used to enforce stability and voltage constraints that cannot be modeled directly in ERCOT’s transmission security analysis applications. Note: This table lists how many times a constraint has been activated to avoid exceeding a GTL limit, it does not imply an exceedance of the GTL occurred. April 12, 2012 ERCOT Public
Advisories and Watches in March 2012 • Advisories issued for Physical Responsive Capability (PRC) below 3000 MW. • Issued 13 Days • Watches issued for Physical Responsive Capability (PRC) below 2500 MW. • 1 Watch issued for PRC below 2500 MW. • Transmission Watches • March 8th At 13:32 ERCOT issued a Transmission Watch due to contingency overload. • March 19th At 13:50 ERCOT issued a Transmission Watch due post contingency overload due to forced outages in Hillsboro area.

Reliability Services – March 2012 • RUC Cost continue to trend low as compared to previous months. • March 2012 cost was $0.01M, compared to: • A charge of $0M in Feb 2012 • A charge of $0.9M in March 2011 April 12, 2012 ERCOT Public
Ancillary Services – March 2012 • Capacity Services costs were slightly increased from last month. • March 2012 cost was $25.61M, compared to: • A charge of $14.87M in Feb 2012 • A charge of $36.21M in March 2011 ERCOT Public
Energy Settlement – March 2012 Day-Ahead and Real-Time energy settlement similar to February, but much lower than the average costs in 2011 and reflective of lower prices seen year-to-date in 2012. ERCOT Public
Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) – March 2012 • Congestion Revenue Rights were fully funded. • Excess funds available for distribution to load. ERCOT Public
Revenue Neutrality – March 2012 • Revenue Neutrality trending higher, increase can be attributed to pockets of local congestion causing prices to spike. • March 2012 was a charge of $8.29M, compared to: • $0.23M in Feb 2012 • $1.13M in Mar 2011 ERCOT Public
Net Uplift to Load – March 2012 • Net uplift to load trending higher, increases can be attributed to overall increases in Revenue Neutrality and Ancillary Services. • March 2012 was a charge of $14.67M, compared to: • $2.5M in Feb 2012 • $27.3M in Mar 2011 ERCOT Public
Advanced Meter Settlement Impacts – March 2012 March 2012: Now settling 4.8M ESIIDs using Advanced Meter data. March 2012: 84.2% of the load in ERCOT is settled with 15-min interval data (AMS, Competitive IDR, and NOIE IDR). ERCOT Public
