www.pjm.com Locational Marginal Price

Pricing method PJM uses to: price energy purchases and sales in PJM Market price transmission congestion costs to move energy within PJM RTO price losses on the bulk power system Physical, flow-based pricing system: how energy actually flows, NOT contract paths What is Locational Marginal Price? www.pjm.com

How does PJM Use LMP? Generators get paid at generation bus LMP Loads or Customer Demand pay at load bus LMP Bilateral Transactions pay differential in source and sink LMP PJM LMPs are the result of the physical flow of energy, not a contract path www.pjm.com

Locational Marginal Price System Energy Price Transmission Congestion Cost Cost of Marginal Losses LMP is made up of 3 independent components www.pjm.com

LMP Components - System Energy Price System Energy Price Transmission Congestion Cost Cost of Marginal Losses System Energy Price Represents optimal dispatch ignoring congestion and losses Same price for every bus in PJM Calculated both in day ahead and real time Intersection of the Supply and Demand Curve PJM 2009 33

LMP Components System Energy Price Dispatch 1500 MW $20 Power Transmission path System Energy Price = $20 Congestion = Losses = LMP= $20 Load = 1500MW System Energy Price = $20 Congestion = Losses = LMP = $20 $50 Power www.pjm.com

LMP Components - Congestion System Energy Price Transmission Congestion Cost Cost of Marginal Losses Congestion Price Represents price of congestion for binding constraints Calculated using cost of marginal units controlling constraints and sensitivity factors on each bus Will be zero if no constraints Will vary by location if system is constrained Calculated both in day ahead and real time PJM 2009 35

LMP Components - Congestion Dispatch 1000 MW $20 Power Flow = 1000 MW Limit = 1000 MW System Energy Price = $20 Congestion = $30 Losses = LMP= $50 Load = 1500MW System Energy Price = $20 Congestion = $ 0 Losses = LMP = $20 Dispatch 500 MW $50 Power www.pjm.com

www.pjm.com Hedging Transmission Congestion Financial Transmission Rights

What are FTRs? Financial Transmission Rights are financial instruments awarded to bidders in the FTR Auctions that entitle the holder to a stream of revenues (or charges) based on the hourly Day Ahead congestion price differences across the path LMP = System Energy Price + Congestion Price + Marginal Loss Price www.pjm.com

Why do we need FTRs? Challenge: Protect Load Servers from price uncertainty for congestion charges Redistribute excess congestion charges Solution: FTR credits equal congestion charges on same path FTRs provide hedging mechanism that can be traded separately from transmission service www.pjm.com

Characteristics of FTRs Economic value based on Day Ahead Congestion Component of LMP Defined from source to sink Financial entitlement, not physical right Independent of energy delivery

Energy Delivery Consistent with FTR Thermal Limit FTR = 100 MW Bus A Energy Delivery = 100 MWh Bus B Source (Sending End) Congestion = $15 Sink (Receiving End) Congestion= $30 Congestion Charge = 100 MW * ($30-$15) = $1500 FTR Credit = 100 MW * ($30-$15) = $1500 www.pjm.com

FTRs as a Benefit Source LMP = $18 System Energy = $20 Congestion = ($3) Marginal Loss = $1 100 MW FTR Sink LMP = $29 System Energy = $20 Congestion = $7 Marginal Loss = $2 FTR Value = 100 MW * (7 - (-3)) = $1,000 Credit Prevailing Flow FTRs point in the same direction as the congestion PJM 2009 46

FTRs as a Liability Sink LMP = $18 System Energy = $20 Congestion = ($3) Marginal Loss = $1 100 MW FTR Source LMP = $29 System Energy = $20 Congestion = $7 Marginal Loss = $2 FTR Value = 100 MW * ((-3) - 7) = $1,000 Liability Counterflow FTRs point in the opposite direction of the congestion PJM 2009 47

Obtaining FTRs Annual Auction Multi-round Multi-period Multi-product Entire System Capability Secondary market -- bilateral trading FTRs that exist are bought or sold Monthly & Balance of Planning Period FTR Auction -- centralized market purchase left over capability www.pjm.com

What are FTRs Worth? Economic value determined by Day ahead hourly LMPs Benefit (Credit) Prevailing Flow Liability (Charge) Counterflow FTR Options available Never negatively valued www.pjm.com

What are ARRs? Auction Revenue Rights are entitlements allocated annually to Firm Transmission Service Customers that entitle the holder to receive an allocation of the revenues from the Annual FTR Auction www.pjm.com

ARR / FTR Relationship ARRs provide a revenue stream to the firm transmission customer to offset purchase price of FTRs Annual Allocation Entire PJM System Capability ARRs allocated (MWs) Auction Revenue Rights Annual FTR Auction FTRs awarded to bidders (MWs & price) Hourly Congestion charges $ $ Auction Revenue

What can the holder do with the FTR? Self-Scheduling FTR into Annual Auction on exact same path as ARR Reconfigure ARR by bidding into Annual Auction to acquire FTR on alternative path or for alternative product May retain allocated ARR and receive associated allocation of revenues from the auction www.pjm.com

www.pjm.com Capacity Market Reliability Pricing Model (RPM)

Capacity vs. Energy Capacity A commitment of a resource to provide energy during PJM emergency under the capped energy price. Capacity revenues paid to committed resource whether or not energy is produced by resource. Daily product Energy Generation of electrical power over a period of time Energy revenues paid to resource based on participation in PJM s Day- Ahead & Real-Time Energy Markets Hourly product Capacity, energy & ancillary services revenues are expected, in the long term, to meet the fixed and variable costs of generation resources to ensure that adequate generation is maintained for reliability of the electric grid.

Objectives of RPM Resource commitments to meet system peak loads three years in the future Three year forward pricing which is aligned with reliability requirements and which adequately values all capacity resources Provide transparent information to all participants far enough in advance for actionable response Purpose of RPM is to enable PJM to obtain sufficient resources to reliably meet the needs of electric consumers within PJM.

Resource Adequacy Requirement Determines the amount of capacity resources required to serve the forecast peak load and satisfy the reliability criterion. The reliability criterion is based on Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) not exceeding one event in ten years. An Installed Reserve Margin (IRM) = 15.3% satisfies the reliability criterion for the 2013/14 Delivery Year. Resource Adequacy ICAP Requirement = Forecast Peak Load * (1+ IRM)

What are Locational Constraints? Locational Constraints are capacity import capability limitations that are caused by transmission facility limitations, or voltage limitations. PJM determines constrained sub-regions (i.e., locational deliverability areas) to be included in RPM Auctions to recognize and quantify the locational value of capacity. Constrained regions are determined by comparing the import limit of a region (CETL) to the amount of capacity that needs to be imported into a region to meet the reliability criterion (CETO). Import Limit (MW) Locational Deliverability Area (LDA) CETL = Capacity Emergency Transfer Limit CETO = Capacity Emergency Transfer Objective

Locational Deliverability Areas RTEPP has currently identified 25* sub-regions as Locational Deliverability Areas (LDAs) for evaluating the locational constraints. Regions Western PJM (ComEd, AEP, Dayton, APS, Duquesne, ATSI, Duke) Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region Eastern MAAC (PSE&G, JCP&L, PECO, AE, DPL & RECO) Southwestern MAAC (PEPCO & BG&E) Western MAAC (Penelec, MetEd, PPL) Zones AE, AEP, APS, ATSI, BGE, Comed, Dayton, DUQ, Dominion, DPL, Duke, JCPL, MetEd, PECO, Penelec, PEPCO, PPL, PSEG Sub-Zones PSEG Northern Region (north of Linden substation) DPL Southern Region (south of Chesapeake and Delaware Channel) *Includes ATSI effective with 13/14 DY and Duke effective with 14/15 DY.

What is the VRR? The Variable Resource Requirement (VRR) Curve is a downward sloping demand curve that relates the maximum price for a given level of capacity resource commitment relative to reliability requirements. The price is higher when the resources are less than the reliability requirement and lower when the resources are in excess. VRR Curves are defined for the PJM RTO and for each constrained Locational Deliverability Area (LDA) within the PJM region.

Price = UCAP Price ($/MW-day) Illustrative Example of a VRR Curve 1.5 Net Cone Net Cone (a) (b) Effective 12/13 DY: Target Level = Reliability Requirement Short Term Resource Procurement Target 0.2 Net Cone Quantity = UCAP MW A VRR Curve is defined for the PJM Region. Individual VRR Curves are defined for each Constrained LDA. (c) (IRM 3%) (IRM + 1%) (IRM + 5%) IRM

What is a Supply Resource in RPM? In RPM, Resources are = Generation Resources Demand Resources Energy Efficiency Resources Qualifying Transmission Upgrades (DR) (EE) (Effective with 11/12 DY) (QTU) Interruptible Load for Reliability Resources (ILR) (Prior to 12/13 DY)
