Does the same incentive to exercise buyer market power exist for buyers who largely or totally self-supply as compared to buyers who self-supply only a small portion of their load? 5. Does the same incentive to exercise buyer market power exist for small load serving entities as compared to large load serving entities? 6. Would the market power concern about using self-supply be alleviated if the self-supplied resources are acquired through a procurement process that does not discriminate between new and existing resources? If yes, what factors should be analyzed to determine whether a procurement process is nondiscriminatory? 7. Explain why the Fixed Resource Requirement (FRR) Alternative is or is not a viable alternative for those wishing to self-supply. 8. What other alternatives to the FRR option would allow parties to selfsupply while deterring buyer market power?
