WHAT are Bilateral Settlement Schedules (BSS)? *A financial arrangement between two MPs trading Settlement quantities related to the Settlement of: Day Ahead or Real Time Balancing Market for Asset and Non-Asset Energy at a Settlement Location Cost Allocation of Day Ahead Market Operating Reserves (Regulation Up, Regulation Down, Spinning, and Supplemental) within a Reserve Zone *NOTE: Definition according to Integrated Marketplace 6
WHAT are BSS? (cont d.) Bilateral Settlement Schedule (BSS) A financial agreement between a buyer and a seller for a quantity of Energy or Operating Reserve for a specific period of time. Energy Spinning Reserve Operating Reserve RZ 2 SL G Seller 50 MW Buyer L MP1 Seller 100 MW / RTBM MP2 Buyer G = Generator L = Load RZ = Reserve Zone SL = Settlement Location RZ 1 RZ 3 RZ 4 7
GrandFathered Agreements GFA s GFA s are contractual agreements that members have with SPP to remove energy, congestion, and marginal losses for the transaction from settlement statements. The BSS transfers the congestion and loss from the energy to SPP who then distributes back to SPP members. Generation Settlement Location Source BSS to transfer to SPP SPP GFA Settlement Location Loss and Congestion Charges are distributed to SPP Footprint BSS to transfer back to SL Eliminated Loss and Congestion Load Settlement Location Sink 8
Federal Service Exemption FSE s FSE s are expected to be handled the same way as the GFA s using BSS transfers to transfer the congestion and loss obligation to SPP for distribution back to SPP members. The difference between the FSE and GFA is that with a GFA the Gen must equal the Load. With the FSE, the Gen must be 104% of the load and there is not a 1 to 1 relationship. BSS/FSE Gen#1 Gen#1 Gen#1 SPP FSE Settlement Location Loss and Congestion Charges are distributed to SPP Footprint Load#1 Load#1 Load#1 Equal ALL Gen s All Loads + 4% 9
WHO Can Submit BSS? Contract Header MP creates the header for the life of the contract. Typical Contract Headers and profiles always require approval by the counter party (GFA s not included) Contract Profiles MP or Asset Owner (AO) submits profiles daily against the header. 10
WHO Can Submit BSS? (cont d.) Market Participants Only 11
WHO Can Submit BSS? (cont d.) Market Participants and Asset Owners 12

WHERE Can You Submit BSS? BSS can be submitted via: SPP Portal (Traditional Web Application) API Service (Application Programming Interface) MPs are responsible for granting individual access to their end users via Local Security Administrator (LSA) certificate for the Portal. Prerequisites to submit BSS: Must acquire X.509 Digital Certificate public key from recognized, trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Must be fully registered within the SPP Market. 14
WHEN Can You Submit BSS? OD MPs may submit BSS profile quantities 90 days in advance or up to four (4) days (Unless Sat/Sun) following applicable OD for Initial Settlement. New submittals and revisions may be submitted up to 44 days (Unless Sat/Sun) following the applicable OD for Final Settlement. Assume OD on 1 st of previous month and 31 days in that month. Submittals after OD+44 (or Final Window Closes) will be treated as a resettlement and will require a dispute to be filed in the RMS system. 15
How does the BSS windows work? Initial Window If a BSS Profile is submitted and modifications occur for a given OD, the BSS Profile will be updated and status set to PENDING. Auto approval only applies to first Profile. Initial Window Close- If a BSS Profile is submitted and CONFIRMED prior to the close of the Initial window for that OD, it will be included on the Initial Reports and the status for the BSS Profile will be changed to PROCESSED. At that point, the record will no longer be upgraded. Between Initial/Close Window - Any BSS Profile changes will process the same as the Initial Window. Final Window Close If CONFIRMED record exists for that OD, will automatically get pulled in and updated for Final. 16

Q/A Page Is there a limit on how long you can have a BSS Contract last? The current limit is a BSS contract can be setup to 12/31/2050 for a specific date or setup to not expire (12/31/2999). But we recommend keeping them to one year increments for review, if you feel they can be longer, then that would be ok. Once a contract has had a profile submitted for an Operating Day, you cannot change values on the contract. If a value needs to change, you will need to terminate the existing BSS Contract and create a new one. What is the maximum length of a BSS Contract Name? 40 Characters Can you use special characters in the BSS Header Name? You can use characters (a-z, A-Z, numbers (0-9), underscore (_), and hyphens(-). All other special characters are not allowed, including blank spaces. (Valid characters are listed in the error message if you try to submit something incorrect). Is the Buyer, Seller, and Settlement Location case sensitive? No When will IS members be allowed to start submitting BSS in PROD? Being able to submit BSS s in PROD is based on the Commercial Model being released to Prod. This is typically done 7 days prior to going live, but for IS, the expected push will be 9/7/2015 for a 10/1/2015 go live date. So for IS members, they could start submitting BSS s in Prod on 9/7/2015 for 10/1/2015 12/7/2015 operating days (+90 days before OD) 20
Naming Standards What is the FSE naming structure? The guidelines we plan to follow include: "GFA_" or "FSE_" + <a group identifier> + "_" + o They've been using an abbreviation of the generator or interface SL at the source of the exempted path, but the "groups" were set up as 1source : 1 sink paths... I'm thinking there will be more multiplicity going forward - at least grouping both units at a generation station (i.e. NPPD_GGS1 & NPPD_GGS2) <the NERCID of the seller AO> + "_" + <the NERCID of the buyer AO> + "_" + <the SL on the BSS header> What is the BSS naming structure? Outside of the FSE/GFA s, it is up to the Asset Owners (Both Buyer and Seller) and there is nothing enforced, but we do recommend using something similar to what we use for GFA/FSE s. 21
