Analysis of the Impact of 4-CP Transmission Charges on Real Time Prices Carl L Raish Principal Load Profiling and Modeling WMS September 6, 2017
How 4-CP Works BUSIDRRQ customers 700 kW or served at transmission (69 kV) voltage are subject to 4-CP charges. Simple average of the metered load during ERCOT system monthly peak 15-minute intervals in four summer months -- June, July, August & September. Multiplied by the applicable prevailing TDSP Tariff, as approved by PUC. Is the basis for the monthly 4-CP-based rates for the following calendar year. Analysis for this report addressed 4-CP in both the competitive and NOIE areas of ERCOT. The analysis used settlement system interval data For ESIIDs in competitive ERCOT areas with BUSIDRRQ profile types. Calculated interval data of the native load in NOIE areas NOIE area boundary metered imports plus generation located inside the NOIE area 2 PUBLIC
Analysis Objective Test quantification of 4-CP impact on real-time prices by: 1. Remove estimated amount of 4-CP response (adding it back to ERCOT load); and, 2. Estimate revised system lambda, taking price response from load and distributed generation into consideration. 3. Issues with generator behavioral response 3 PUBLIC
Analysis Methodology 1. Select 4-CP and Near-CP days in 2015 and 2016. 8 4-CP days 11 Near-CP days in 2015 and 14 Near-CP days in 2016 Use intervals 48 96 for each of the 33 days (1,584 intervals) 2. Calculate revised system lambda with GTBD increased by the 4- CP response amount in each SCED interval 3. Develop ERCOT-level price response model for load and distributed generation Competitive area load using annual survey Load of NOIEs identified as responding to price Exports from distributed generators that respond to price 4. Iteratively: Calculate price response MW based on revised system lambda Modify GTBD based on price response Calculate revised system lambda at the modified GTBD Continue iterating until the point (GTBD adjusted for price response, revised system lambda) matches a point on the aggregated energy offer curve 4 PUBLIC

Quantifying ERCOT level Price Response 1. ERCOT has conducted an annual survey of REPs to identify ESIIDs on several categories of demand/price response programs. 2. ERCOT has used the survey data to quantify the frequency and magnitude of response in competitive areas 3. ERCOT has used NOIE load as calculated from boundary meters to identify NOIEs the respond to price and has quantified the frequency and magnitude of that response. 4. ERCOT has used export data from distributed generators to identify those that respond to price and has quantified the frequency and magnitude of that response. 14 PUBLIC

Interaction of 4-CP and Price Response 1. Removal of 4-CP response would tend to increase prices 2. Price increases would trigger increased price response 3.

Behavioral Issues Small changes in 4-CP response, disregarding behavioral changes other than price DR and DG price response, can result in significant changes in system lambda Short term behavioral changes in response to higher prices would be likely to draw historically off-line resources into the market and would put significant and highly variable downward pressure on prices Long term behavioral changes of all types would be likely and would further increase the downward pressure 2015 4CP Impact (MW) Price Response (MW) Gen Cap OFF with CST 1 hr Original GTBD Orig Sys Lam Adjusted Load (MW) GTBD Change Adjusted Sys Lam Sys Lam Change Interval 30-Jul-15 cp day 63 64 65 66,654 66,776 66,646 74.95 75.00 74.83 853 111 196 258 67,396 67,600 67,604 742 824 959 461.94 443.06 836.45 386.99 368.06 761.62 11 11 11 1,020 1,216 8/10/2015 cp day 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 68,941 69,114 69,014 69,024 68,880 68,912 68,863 115.79 125.91 125.11 133.05 120.29 132.16 131.80 1,274 1,319 1,344 1,321 1,294 1,236 1,090 208 261 284 324 187 134 117 70,007 70,171 70,074 70,021 69,987 70,014 69,836 1,066 1,058 1,060 997 1,107 1,102 973 500.33 864.00 1,101.53 1,665.75 405.08 231.88 196.34 384.54 738.09 976.42 1,532.70 284.79 0 0 0 37 37 37 37 99.72 64.54 8/11/2015 near-cp day 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 68,642 68,758 68,992 68,884 69,068 68,889 68,781 68,478 68,480 75.12 75.03 96.69 75.02 74.99 78.54 67.31 64.03 72.69 499 634 665 881 90 190 164 208 212 206 203 131 80 69,051 69,202 69,493 69,557 69,901 69,856 69,852 69,599 69,501 409 444 501 673 833 967 148.65 416.22 317.64 504.18 523.26 489.79 475.40 225.29 133.10 73.53 341.19 220.95 429.16 448.27 411.25 408.09 161.26 60.41 0 0 0 0 1,045 1,173 1,274 1,252 1,101 37 0 11 11 11 1,071 1,121 1,021 26 PUBLIC

Observations 1. Back cast analysis of removing 4-CP load reductions without any other adjustment does show a significant and highly volatile impact on real time prices in 2015 and 2016 for ten days (59 intervals). 2. 4-CP reduction across intervals and across days are highly variable and back cast prices are highly volatile. 3. The back cast analysis shows small changes on the remaining 23 days days not likely to trigger DG and DR price response or behavioral changes among Generation Resources. 4. Considering price response from DG and DR in the back-cast analysis does show reductions in the impact on real time prices, but the volatility of the impact remains high. 5. On days with significant impacts, Generation Resources would be likely to modify their offer decisions based on the potential for the higher price increases identified above. 6. The short and long term potential for behavioral changes in DR, DG and Generation Resources clearly exists and likely would be highly variable as well. PUBLIC
