1 2001 Annual Report on the New York Electricity Markets Presented to: New York ISO Management Committee David B. Patton, Ph.D. Independent Market Advisor April 16, 2002

2 Conclusions and Recommendations The markets performed relatively well during Lower fuel prices and reduced generation outages in Eastern New York led to lower prices and substantially less congestion. Analysis of the market conduct of both the suppliers and the load- serving entities indicates that the markets have been workably competitive. Price convergence between the day-ahead ahead and real-time has improved. Prices will likely be slightly higher this summer than last summer, although uplift costs should be substantially reduced. -2-

3 Conclusions and Recommendations The following issues are apparent from the analysis in this report rt and the Summer 2001 report, for which changes are underway. Apparent impediments to trading remain, particularly with New England. Changes in market rules and procedures should reduce these issues s in Poor convergence of prices produced by the BME and SCD models under peak conditions led to reduced real-time prices and considerable uplift. Out-of of-merit dispatch of generation increased in 2001, depressing prices s and raising uplift in NYC. However, concerns are also indicated by this analysis in the following lowing areas that require further work. Relatively low participation in the ancillary services markets remains r an issue that can create significant inefficiencies in the energy market under peak conditions pricing reforms are recommended to improve incentives. The ICAP results in NYC have not been consistent with competitive e expectations consideration of alternative designs is warranted. -3-
