Historical Nodal Pricing Analysis Market Evolution Program January 2004
Presentation Highlights The Day Ahead Market Working Group has indicated that there is insufficient data, analysis or understanding at this time for stakeholders to support a recommendation on nodal pricing Historical results for generators for the study period Average Market Clearing Price is $54/MWh Average nodal price would have been $72/MWh Historical results for load customers for the study period Average uniform price including uplifts for CMSC and losses is $55/MWh Average nodal price would have been $72/MWh Historical results for load customers for the study period including the effect of existing rebates Average uniform price including uplifts for CMSC and losses is $48/MWh Average nodal price would have been $55/MWh Market Operations Standing Committee 2
Presentation Highlights Average nodal prices calculated assume no changes in bidding behaviour Uniform prices do not accurately reflect the demand-supply balance of the market Nodal prices are more reflective of system and market conditions Future prices cannot be predicted - participants may change bidding behaviour in response to any market changes Market Operations Standing Committee 3
Ongoing Efforts Nodal pricing has been considered for the Day Ahead Market (DAM) by the DAM Working Group as the design approach to price locational differences due to congestion and losses DAM Working Group has also asked to consider other designs Analysis of historical prices has shown that locational differences account for a small portion of the difference between the average uniform price (HOEP) and the weighted average nodal price Other aspects of the price calculations have a more significant impact (i.e. impact of ramp rates, calculation of demand, etc) We are continuing work along the following paths Further investigate the sources of the differences between uniform and nodal prices Evaluate whether the sources of price differences continue to be appropriate for Ontario s market Report to stakeholders on the results of these efforts Market Operations Standing Committee 4
Agenda Background Historical Nodal Pricing Analysis Summary Market Operations Standing Committee 5
What is Nodal Pricing? Nodal Pricing is a method of determining prices in which market clearing prices are calculated for a number of locations on the transmission grid called nodes Each node represents a physical location on the transmission system including generators and loads The price at each node represents the locational value of energy, which includes the cost of the energy and the cost of delivering it (i.e. losses and congestion) Nodal prices are determined by calculating the incremental cost of serving one additional MW of load at each location subject to system constraints (i.e. transmission limits, ramp rates of resources, contingency analysis) Market Operations Standing Committee 6
Why Was This Study Done? Analysis on nodal pricing was requested by Day Ahead Market Working Group This work also supports the Minister of Energy s 1999 directive to the IMO to undertake a review of the impact of congestion pricing The IMO is continually investigating mechanisms to increase the efficiency of spot market pricing - nodal pricing is one such mechanism Historical nodal pricing data was used for this analysis Market Operations Standing Committee 7
Objective and Scope What do we want to achieve? To provide market stakeholders with a summary of historical nodal and uniform pricing data What is included in this study? Total pricing comparison - to consistently compare uniform and nodal prices and show how these prices have varied over time Spatial analysis - to show how nodal prices have varied across Ontario Predicting future prices is not within the scope of this study Market Operations Standing Committee 8
Future Prices Cannot be Predicted Why? Market Participant bidding behaviour not captured in this analysis Bidding behaviour will change with any change in pricing methodology Any other market changes introduced going forward will also impact energy price Only historical nodal pricing data is analysed Market Operations Standing Committee 9

Total Price Comparison What do we want to show? What would the difference be between the uniform and nodal prices paid for energy taking into account the uplifts for losses and CMSC Some explanation of these price differences Market Operations Standing Committee 14
Uniform Total Pricing What we need to determine? Total price paid by load customers under uniform pricing HOEP + CMSC Uplift + Losses Uplift Market Operations Standing Committee 15
Nodal Total Pricing What we need to determine? The total price paid by load customers under nodal pricing would be Load-Weighted Average However we do not have the necessary data to calculate the load-weighted average But if we assume that internal FTRs and loss residuals are allocated to load customers, the total price paid by load customers under nodal pricing would be the Generator- Weighted Average price (FTRs + Loss Residuals) = (Load-Wtd Avg) - (Gen-Wtd Avg) (Gen-Wtd Avg) = (Load-Wtd Avg) - (FTRs + Loss Residuals) Other uplifts including IOG and OR are common to both uniform and nodal pricing schemes Market Operations Standing Committee 16

Factors Accounting for Price Differences Why are uniform and nodal prices different? HOEP is determined from the output of the unconstrained algorithm which ignores physical limitations of grid Constrained algorithm considers physical limitations of grid when dispatching resources and calculating nodal prices Specific factors accounting for price differences Regional demand-supply balance Demand differences Ramp rate requirements Market Operations Standing Committee 19
Demand-Supply Balance HOEP does not accurately reflect the demand-supply balance Unconstrained calculation has access to larger resource stack than constrained calculation, e.g. Operating reserve in NW Ontario that is available but can t be delivered Full capability of quick-start units and partially dispatched units that can t be delivered due to transmission constraints Nodal prices properly reflect the demand-supply balance Constrained calculation determines the schedule of resources that can be delivered while considering constraints of the transmission system Market Operations Standing Committee 20
Demand Differences Demand for the constrained calculation is estimated before the interval for which resources are dispatched Demand for the unconstrained calculation is measured after the interval Market Operations Standing Committee 21
Ramp Rate Constraints Unconstrained calculation uses artificial (12x) ramp rate to determine HOEP Constrained calculation uses actual (1x) ramp rates to dispatch the system and calculate nodal prices Market Operations Standing Committee 22
Pricing Transitional Mechanisms With a change in pricing methodology, transitional mechanisms are needed to help customers adjust The IMO supports transitional mechanisms to facilitate a change from uniform pricing to nodal pricing If an Ontario-weighted average nodal price were to be paid by load customers, the existing Business Protection Plan Rebate (BPPR) could be one example of a transitional mechanism However, the appropriate transitional mechanism(s) would ultimately depend on the pricing model for load customers For the purposes of this analysis we have applied the BPPR to both uniform and nodal total price to see the impact on the price differences Market Operations Standing Committee 23

Internal FTRs and Loss Residuals Example Node 1 Price = $50 G1 Capacity = 120MW G1 Dispatch = 100MW Load = 50MW Flow and Limit = 50MW Paid to generators = 50x100 + 60x50 = $8000 Paid by load = 50x50 + 60x100 = $8500 FTRs = 8500-8000 = $500 Node 2 Price = $60 G2 Capacity = 60MW G2 Dispatch = 50MW Load = 100MW Under nodal pricing, internal Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) and loss residuals could be allocated to market participants Our best estimate of the pool of FTRs and loss residuals is approximately $1/MWh Approximations used since we don t currently have all necessary historical data to make a more accurate determination Based on the Ontario annual consumption of 150TWh (and no change in bidding behaviour), an estimate of $150M would be available for distribution as internal FTRs and loss residuals Market Operations Standing Committee 25

Discussion on Prices Why have prices been volatile? System is dispatched by optimizing over the next 5-minute dispatch (myopic dispatch) Multi-Interval Optimization (MIO) should lessen real-time market volatility Comment on Richview reference bus nodal price May be used as proxy for the generator-weighted average nodal price Any studies based on Richview nodal prices are valid and overstate the generator-weighted average nodal price Market Operations Standing Committee 27

Spatial Analysis What do we want to show? How indicative prices vary across Ontario Averages of representative nodal prices On- and off-peak average nodal prices Impact of congestion and relative losses Market Operations Standing Committee 30
How Nodal Prices Vary Across Ontario Ontario is divided into 10 transmission zones Same 10 zones identified in IMOs 18-month and 10-year outlook forecast documents For each zone, either one nodal price or a set of weighted nodal prices is chosen as the indicative price for that zone Price differences between indicative prices in these zones indicate areas of congestion and relative losses Market Operations Standing Committee 31

Agenda Background Historical Nodal Pricing Analysis Summary Market Operations Standing Committee 40
Summary The information presented Over 14 months of nodal pricing data has been used for analysis Future prices cannot be predicted - participants may change bidding behaviour in response to any market changes Uniform vs.. Nodal Pricing Nodal pricing offer prices more transparent and reflective of power system and market conditions Uniform prices do not accurately reflect the demand-supply balance of the market Nodal pricing is one of several important considerations in analysing where to site additional generation, transmission and load Market Operations Standing Committee 41
Summary Average Prices For generators during the study period Average Market Clearing Price is $54/MWh Average nodal price would have been $72/MWh For load customers Average uniform price including losses and congestion uplifts is $55/MWh Average nodal price would have been $72/MWh For load customers, including the effect of existing rebates for the study period Average uniform price including losses and congestion uplifts is $48/MWh Average nodal price would have been $55/MWh Average nodal prices calculated assume no changes in bidding behaviour Transitional mechanisms are recommended for a change from uniform to nodal pricing Market Operations Standing Committee 42
Summary Price Differences Are caused by Accuracy in considering demand-supply balance Demand differences in constrained and unconstrained algorithms Use of different ramp rates Are particularly sensitive when operating on the steep portion of supply curve Nodal price differences across Ontario Are due to both congestion and losses - with losses as a larger contributing factor Internal FTRs and Loss Residuals The estimated value is $150M annually Market Operations Standing Committee 43

Total Price Paid Under Uniform Pricing HOEP + CMSC uplift + Losses uplift (- Rebates if applied) HOEP - average of interval MCPs CMSC uplift - Congestion Management Settlements Credit Losses uplift - estimated by the Net Energy Market Settlements Credit (NEMSC) uplift The dollars paid out to generators is more than the dollars collected from loads for energy This shortfall is an estimate for losses that loads must pay Rebates (if applied) - Business Protection Plan Rebate (BPPR) calculated by (Demand - weighted) HOEP $38 2 Market Operations Standing Committee 45

Nodal Prices An indication of what load would pay is the Load-Weighted Average Nodal Price An indication of what generators would be paid is the Generator- Weighted Average Nodal Price Unlike uniform pricing, under nodal pricing the dollars collected from loads is more than the dollars paid to generators This difference makes up the available internal Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) and loss residuals that can be allocated back to market participants (FTRs + Loss Residuals) = (Load-Wtd Avg) - (Gen-Wtd Avg) For the purposes of this analysis, we assume that loads are allocated the internal FTRs and loss residuals Market Operations Standing Committee 47
Total Price Paid Under Nodal Pricing Recall that total price paid by loads under nodal pricing is Which can be expressed as Nodal Price - (Rebates if applied) (Load-Wtd Avg) - (Rebates if applied) If internal FTRs and loss residuals are allocated back to loads, the total price paid by loads under nodal pricing is (Gen-Wtd Avg) - (Rebates if applied) Market Operations Standing Committee 48

Internal FTRs and Loss Residuals Estimated by (FTRs + Loss Residuals) = (Load-Wtd Avg) - (Gen-Wtd Avg) Since we estimate what loads pay in a zonal manner, i.e. D Z1 PZ1 D + DZ2P + D Z1 Z2 + K+ D + K+ D Z2 We shall also calculate what generators are paid in a zonal manner to estimate available internal FTRs and loss residuals, i.e. G Z1 PZ1 + GZ2P G + G Z1 Z2 Z2 Zn + K+ G + K+ G Zn Zn Zn P P Zn Zn Market Operations Standing Committee 55
