ERS Procurement Methodology

09/04/2013

ERS Workshop

Presented By: ERCOT Staff

Why Change Procurement Methodology?

• Remove as much of the subjectivity as possible from the current ERCOT procurement process

• Create a methodology that aligns expenditure limits with

risk

• Establish known procurement parameters for ERS Providers

• Use value established in PUC rule as the offer cap benchmark

ERS Time Period Offer Cap

5

The ERS offer cap establishes a maximum possible procurement price of $80/MW/hr for every ERS Time Period during the ERS budget year. ERCOT will automatically reject any offers above the offer cap. This cap is consistent with the prices historically paid to Loads participating in TDSP Standard Offer Load Management Programs.

Other

• Clearing Price – The highest offer accepted for a time-period will set the clearing

price for all ERS Resources cleared in that time-period.

• ERS Capacity provided through ERS Self Provision – For any ERS self-provision, ERCOT will reduce the Time Period

expenditure limit for any offers to self-provide part or all of a QSE’s ERS Obligation by the clearing price for ERS.


Stakeholder Comments

to

ERS Procurement Methodology



• Section B. Change Control Process– All comments favorable

• Section D. ERS Offer Cap– Using a fixed cap of $80/MWh allocates too much of the $50

million annual budget to low risk periods.– Recommendation to use some variation of historical Responsive

Reserve Service prices corresponding to ERS contract time periods.

– Another alternative is to expand the possible range of the risk weighting factors


• ERCOT’s Response:

1. ERCOT chose to use a single fixed offer cap to simplify one aspect of this procurement methodology. This eliminates any confusion of the cap in relation to the Standard Contract Terms and time periods. In addition varying offer caps are not necessary with the introduction of the risk weighting factors. These factors are time period specific and are used to allocate the annual budget across time periods.

2. ERCOT believes the range of 1-10 for the risk weighting factors is appropriate to begin with. If we start to observe unintended results the methodology can be amended with Board approval.



• Section E. ERS Expenditure Limit– Support the use of a risk weighting factor as a mechanism to

allocate the annual ERS budget

• Section G. Clearing Price– Overall support moving to a market clearing price for ERS

• Section H. ERS Capacity provided through ERS Self Provision– Recommendation to eliminate the clause that the value of self-

provided ERS resources reduce the expenditure limit.

ERCOT ‘s Response: 1) There is a cost to those that elect to self provide their ERS obligation. 2) Loads are charged for all ERS capacity based on their LRS and receive the equivalent of a payment for capacity self provided therefore the cost of this capacity should be charged against the expenditure limit.
