Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Feb 10, 2011
Sponsor: Calpine
Urgent: No
Sections: 4.4.9.3, 5.5.2
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) would provide the ability for Resources to change the amounts of power in their Energy Offer Curves in the Adjustment Period.
Reason: Market experience thus far has shown that for Resources that do not desire to be price takers on Output Schedules, the Energy Offer Curve submitted and struck in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) may become unrealistic in Real-Time. This NPRR would allow a Resource with an Energy Offer Curve to change the MW amounts for all the price-quantity pairs to adjust for changes in physical facility capabilities and market conditions which occur in Real Time. This allows more efficient pricing to the market due to the Resource owner’s ability to more closely optimize the pricing of energy based on actual conditions affecting the Resource, such as ambient temperature and quantities of Ancillary Service products that were awarded to the Resource in the DAM.
