Day-Ahead Market
The Day-Ahead Market (DAM) is based on a competitive selection (auction) conducted by TSA (OJSC) of price bids of suppliers and buyers with
delivery on the day following the day of the auction
Electricity losses and system constraints are considered during competitive selection
Based on DAM results the following are determinedfor each node of the computed model for every hour of the next day:● Planned hourly consumption● Planned hourly generation● Equilibrium electricity prices
At the DAM marginal pricing is used – the price is determined based on the most expensive electricity supply bid satisfied

DAM: Preventing Manipulation
To reduce the risk of price manipulation, the participants are incited to bid competitively – the lowest price bids are satisfied first
Administrative measures aimed at manipulation prevention
State•Corporate procedures for naturally monopolistic entities where the controlling stake belongs to the State•Introducing price regulation for specific market entities•Introducing bidding constraints•Mandatory separation of dominating market entities
Infrastructure organizations •Deprivation of WECM entity status •Terminating admission to the trading system•Applying BM imbalance distribution coefficients for metering and billing violations•Reducing the value of the generating equipment availability factor•Applying penalties

On March 29, 2009, against the background of demand reduction, a flow increase over the controlled connection between the Europe and Siberia price areas towards Siberia was observed. A price reduction in the price bids of suppliers was also observed. As a result the auctions accepted the lowest price bids.
Equilibrium electricity price index dynamics in Siberia (January – October 2009), rub/MWh
On June 3, 2009, in Siberia a sharp decline of the equilibrium price index, owing to a decrease of electricity demand, was observed. As a result the low price bids of generating companies were the closing bids. Nonzero prices were established in Omsk and Altai, but in the rest of Siberia, the price was approaching minimum.
On September 13, 2009, impacted by the decrease of electricity consumption due to the absence of an electricity purchase bid from a large customer, the equilibrium price index in Siberia decreased.
The DAM prices are characterized by:
• Cyclical fluctuations (daily, weekly, annual)
• Price fluctuations caused by unforecastable changes in the demand or supply side
• High volatility
The participant risks:
• Lower competition as a result of a monopolistic power of a consumer or the generator in some regions
• Lower system reliability as a result of planning difficulties

• Lower system reliability as a result of planning difficulties
23
Non-regulated Bilateral Contracts
Non-regulated Bilateral Contracts for Electricity Sale and Purchase (NRBCs) are concluded between the supplier and the buyer under the terms and
conditions agreed by the parties
The NRBCs allow the participants:● to carry out long-term business planning● to fix the electricity purchase/sale prices● to hedge the risks of performing obligations under regulated contracts● to determine the terms and procedure of payments for electricity
Non-regulated contracts allow the participants to reduce financial risks resulting from high volatility of electricity prices on the day-ahead market
24
Balancing Market
The Balancing Market (BM) is designed to cover the deviations of the actual electricity generation and consumption from those planned
At the BM trading is conducted by the System Operator as a competitive selection of the suppliers' bids in conditions of short-term planning of generation and consumption (3 hours ahead) and real-time
At the Balancing Market marginal pricing is used with account of losses and system constraints

27
Capacity Market: Mechanisms of Determining the Purchase Price
The payment for capacity is conducted as follows
The capacity purchase price as a result of the CCS is determined as follows
28
Capacity Market: Non-regulated Contracts
Non-regulated Electricity and Capacity Sale and Purchase Contracts (NRECCs) assume simultaneous supply of electricity and capacity
NRECCs are traded on certified stock-exchanges (currently, the MEEX) in the form of contracts standardized by terms, types and volumes of electricity and capacity .
In organized NRECC trade, marginal pricing is used. Over-the-counter NRECCs are concluded between suppliers and consumers under the terms agreed upon by the parties.
Under agency and sale-and-purchase contracts the following is sold:● excess energy resulting from purchase under RCs (including CBCs), sold at the weighted
average RC price● excess energy resulting from purchase under non-regulated contracts, sold at the price equal to
the weighted average price of the bids for all selected capacity
Trade in capacity agency and sale-and-purchase contracts is performed through CFS (CJSC) (a subsidiary of Market Council and TSA)
29
Capacity Market: CSCs
Capacity Supply Contracts (CSCs): an obligation of the generator to introduce new capacity with specified characteristics within a set period with guaranteed payment for the commissioned capacity for a specified
period
New system of capacity supply contracts has been designed.These contracts:● provide supply of capacity via generating facilities ● are included in investment programs of generating companies● provide payment for such capacity, in general, within 7 years of the facility commissioning date
These contracts provide, among other things, the mechanism of control over fulfillment of the investment programs, and the responsibility of the parties for failure
to fulfill their obligations
30
Capacity Market: Transition to the Target Model
Payment for all existing capacity
•No competition between suppliers •No motivation to decrease the costs•The customer pays for excess capacity
Separate pricing for two related products
•Marginal revenue from the electricity market does not reduce the cost of the supplier’s capacity – overstating the aggregate cost for the customer
No long-term relations
•No long-term conditions for investments•No long-term signals for the customer
Competition between suppliers for payment of capacity – partial payment for capacity
•Motivation to reduce costs•Only the capacity needed in the system is paid for – move away from excess capacity•Accurate price signals reflecting sufficiency (deficiency) of capacity in the regions
Interrelation of the capacity and electricity markets
•Motivation to reduce aggregate electricity and capacity costs
Long-term relations
• Long-term guarantee of payment for capacity in the future (after its commissioning)
• Possibility of bilateral relations • Long-term regional price signals for industrial growth

31
Retail Market: Main Principles of Operation
Electricity and capacity purchased by suppliers of last resort and retail companies at the wholesale market are sold to end customers
Each supplier of last resort (SLR) operates in its special area of operation. One area – one SLR
The supplier of last resort concludes a contract with each customer according to the contract form approved by the government
The SLR translates the non-regulated wholesale market prices to retail customers: ● Sells the volumes purchased under the RCs at a regulated tariff to retail ● Sells the volumes purchased at non-regulated prices to the end customers also at non-
regulated prices
The population buys electricity from the SLR only at regulated prices
An energy supply company has the right to conclude a contract with a customer under any terms and conditions, as well as to refuse to conclude a contract
