1. COPSPRR 599 Notification for Mismatched Inter-QSE Energy Schedules WHOLESALE MARKET DEVELOPMENT Paula Feuerbacher September 27, 2005

2. PR -- 50128 • New Billing Determinants: • MSBDINFO_CQ – Mismatched InterQSE Schedule Delivered Counter QSE Information • MSBRINFO_CQ – Mismatched InterQSE Schedule Received Counter QSE Information • Mismatches occur when: • Different amounts in the same zone • No corresponding counter-party schedule • Different zones (either same amount or different) • Energy schedules submitted by QSEs with ERCOT as a resource (not a true mismatch)

3. Mismatch Examples • Different amounts in the same zone: • Current (and Continuing) Functionality: • MSBD_CQ_QSEB_Z05_QSEA,1 10 MWh • MSBR_CQ_QSEA_Z05_QSEB,1 8 MWh • New Functionality: • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSEB_Z05_QSEA,CH# 2 MWh • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSEA_Z05_QSEB,CH# -2 MWh • No corresponding counter-party schedule • Current (and Continuing) Functionality: • MSBD_CQ_QSEC_Z05_QSEA,1 5 MWh • New Functionality: • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSEC_Z05_QSEA,CH# 5 MWh • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSEA_Z05_QSEC,CH# -5 MWh The billing determinants high-lighted in red are those affected by PRR-599

4. Mismatch Examples cont… • Different zones (either same amount or different) • Current (and Continuing) Functionality: • MSBD_CQ_QSED_Z05_QSEA,CH# 20 MWh • MSBR_CQ_QSEA_N05_QSED,CH# 20 MWh • New Functionality: • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSED_Z05_QSEA,CH# 20 MWh • MSBDINFO_CQ_QSEA_Z05_QSED,CH# -20 MWh • MSBRINFO_CQ_QSEA_N05_QSED,CH# 20 MWh • MSBRINFO_CQ_QSED_N05_QSEA,CH# -20 MWh • Energy schedules submitted by QSEs with ERCOT as a resource • Current (and Continuing) Functionality: • MSBR_CQ_0_Z05_QSEA,1 5 MWh • New Functionality: • MSBRINFO_CQ_0_Z05_QSEA,CH# 5 MWh • There will be no “INFO” cut created for the counter-QSE when the counter-QSE is ERCOT. The billing determinants high-lighted in red are those affected by PRR-599

5. Mismatch Quantity Calculation • Post Implementation: the mismatch quantities (MSDQTY and MSRQTY) will be the sum of the new billing determinant records (MSBDINFO_CQ and MSBRINFO_CQ) containing positive values. • Using the previous examples, the following QTY records will be created: • MSDQTY_Z05_QSEA,CH# 27 • MSRQTY_N05_QSED,CH# 20 • MSRQTY_Z05_QSEA,CH# 5

13. 50129 Revision to Balancing Energy • Background: • PRR 569 modifies the settlement calculations so that the payment to the QSE will be based on the bid premium supplied by the QSE adjusted for the difference in the Fuel Index for the day before the Operating Day and the Fuel Index for the day the service was provided. This results in a normalized FIP being used for Local Balancing Energy payments. This includes both Aggregate and non-Aggregate resources that are Gas Fired. • Estimated deployment date: December, 2005

14. Revision to Balancing Energy cont… • This Revision to Balancing Energy from a specific Resource project will alter the Price portions of the Amount formulas for: • LBEUP • LBEDN • LBEUPAGG • LBEDNAGG • These changes affect both Generators (gas-fired units only) and LaaRs. • The formula change deals with the Bid Premium sections of the price formula. • The Fuel Index Price (FIP) is not used in the current LBE formulas. FIP is used in the OOME formulas. The LBE formulas use MCPER and Bid Premiums since they pay the Resource as bid. This will change with this project and thus the FIP will be used within the LBE formulas. • The reason for this change is that Market Participants will be submitting bids for tomorrow based on the FIP that is posted for the current day. This project will normalize the FIP so that the Resource is accurately paid for the service they are called to provide. • FIPd-1 & FIPd: • FIPd-1 stands for the FIP price for the previous Trade Day. • FIPd stands for the FIP price for the current Trade Day.

15. 50129: LBE Formula Changes Summaries • LBEUP: The Price portion of the Amount formula takes the Maximum of the OOMLEUPBP and MCPER and then subtracts the MCPER. The new formula will take the (OOMLEUPBP/FIPd-1)*FIPd. • The same logic applies to LaaRs. • LBEDN: The Price portion of the Amount formula takes the Maximum of the 0 or the MCPER - OOMLEDNBP. The new formula will take the (OOMLEDNBP/FIPd-1)*FIPd. • This logic does not apply to LaaRs as they are not eligible for LBEDN payment. • LBEUPAGG: The Price portion of the Amount formula takes the OOMLEUPBPAGG – MCPER. The OOMLEUPBPAGG is calculated by taking the MINIMUM Bid Premium of all the units that make up the aggregated site. Remember that the logic for this is changing such that the OOMLEUPBP portion will now be (OOMLEUPBP/FIPd-1)*FIPd and this is how the LBEUPAGG formula is affected. The OOMLEUPBPAGG will still take the Minimum Bid Premium of all the units that make up the aggregated site but now how the individual units calculate that premium will change under the new formula. • LBEDNAGG: The Price portion of the Amount formula takes the Maximum of 0 and the MCPER - OOMLEDNBPAGG. The OOMLEDNBPAGG is calculated by taking the MAXIMUM Bid Premium of all the units that make up the aggregated site. Remember that the logic for this is changing such that the OOMLEDNBP portion will now be (OOMLEDNBP/FIPd-1)*FIPd and this is how the LBEDNAGG formula is affected. The OOMLEDNBPAGG will still take the Maximum Bid Premium of all the units that make up the aggregated site but now how the individual units calculate that premium will change under the new formula.
