To that end, the Commission directs staff to convene workshops as necessary to commence a discussion with industry on the existing market rules and operational practices related to the following topics: • Use of uplift payments: Use of uplift payments can undermine the market’s ability to send actionable price signals. Sustained patterns of specific resources receiving a large proportion of uplift payments over long periods of time raise additional concerns that those resources are providing a service that should be priced in the market or opened to competition. • Offer price mitigation and offer price caps: All RTOs/ISOs have protocols that endeavor to identify resources with market power and ensure that such resources bid in a manner consistent with their marginal cost. As a backstop to offer price mitigation, RTOs/ISOs also employ offer price caps that are designed to be consistent with scarcity and shortage pricing rules. These protocols require that the RTO/ ISO’s measure of marginal cost be accurate and allow a resource to fully reflect its marginal cost in its bid. To the extent existing rules on marginal cost bidding do not provide for this, bids and resulting energy and ancillary service prices may be artificially low. • Scarcity and shortage pricing: All RTOs/ISOs have tariff provisions governing operational actions (e.g., dispatching emergency demand response, voltage reductions, etc.) to manage operating reserves as they approach a reserve deficiency. These actions often are tied to administrative pricing rules designed to reflect degrees of scarcity in the energy and ancillary services markets. In addition, in the event of an operating reserve shortage, all RTOs/ISOs have adopted separate administrative pricing mechanisms designed to set prices that reflect the economic value of scarcity. To the extent that actions taken to avoid reserve deficiencies are not priced appropriately or not priced in a manner consistent with the prices set during a 5 Other efforts, like staff’s annual meeting with RTO/ISO operations staff and the annual market software conference, are intended to make progress on these longer term issues.

VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:01 Jun 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 reserve deficiency, the price signals sent when the system is tight will not incent appropriate short- and long-term actions by resources and loads. • Operator actions that affect prices: RTO/ISO operators regularly commit resources that are not economic to address reliability issues or un-modeled system constraints. Some activity may be necessary to maintain system reliability and security. However, to the extent RTOs/ISOs regularly commit excess resources, such actions may artificially suppress energy and ancillary service prices or otherwise interfere with price formation. The Commission directs its staff to engage in outreach and, as appropriate, convene workshops and technical conferences to explore improvements to market designs and operational practices in the areas identified above, as well as other topics raised in discussions with RTOs/ISOs and market participants. The Commission anticipates that the first workshop will explore the topic of uplift in detail, while also providing an opportunity to begin a discussion on the remaining topics identified above. Additional workshops will be announced in the coming months on other price formation topics. To the extent practicable, the Commission may release staff analysis of various topics to help guide the workshop discussions. Based on information gathered by staff, the Commission may take action regarding the foregoing or other issues in future orders.
