Texas PUC Staff Seeks Guidance On Next Steps For ERCOT Energy Market Price Formation Review
October 20,2017
Texas PUC Staff have asked for Commission guidance in Project No. 47199 -- Project to Assess Price- Formation Rules in ERCOT's Energy-Only Market
Staff requests Commission input on:
1. Narrowing the scope of this project; and
2. Determining next steps.
Staff noted that if the Commission seeks further assessment of various proposals raised in the project, the Commission may wish to direct Staff to open separate projects to continue evaluation of the following issues:
• Enabling loads to participate in Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) (SPEER proposal);
• Assignment of certain interconnection costs to interconnecting generation (Vistra/TIEC proposal).
The Commission may also wish to consider at this time whether to continue to evaluate the locational reserve proposal in this project or whether it can be delegated to ERCOT for future study, Staff said
