SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
1. On November 17, 2016, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) issued Order No. 831
concerning offer caps in Regional
Transmission Organization (RTO) and
Independent System Operator (ISO)
markets,1 which was published in the
Federal Register on December 5, 2016.
Order No. 831 amended 18 CFR 35.28
by adding new paragraph (g)(9).
2. On November 9, 2017, the
Commission issued Order No. 831–A,2
which was published in the Federal
Register on November 16, 2017. Order
No. 831–A further revised 18 CFR
35.28(g)(9) regarding offer caps.
3. On February 15, 2018, the
Commission issued Order No. 841
concerning electric storage participation
in RTO/ISO markets,3 which was

published in the Federal Register on
March 6, 2018. Order No. 841 amended
18 CFR 35.28(g) by adding a further new
paragraph, which was also numbered
(g)(9).4 As a result, the regulatory text
adopted in Order No. 841 incorrectly
replaced—rather than added to—the
regulatory text adopted in Order Nos.
831 and 831–A.
4. In this Correcting Amendment, 18
CFR 35.28(g) is corrected by restoring
the regulatory text from Order Nos. 831
and 831–A as new paragraph 18 CFR
35.28(g)(11). Nothing in this Correcting
Amendment is intended to alter any
previous compliance requirements or
effective dates established under Order
Nos. 831, 831–A, or 841, nor does this
Correcting Amendment affect any tariff
changes previously accepted by the
Commission in compliance with these
orders.

In consideration of the foregoing, 18
CFR part 35 is corrected by making the
following correcting amendments:
60347
Operators must cap cost-based
incremental energy offers at $2,000/
MWh. The actual or expected costs
underlying a resource’s cost-based
incremental energy offer above $1,000/
MWh must be verified before that offer
can be used for purposes of calculating
Locational Marginal Prices. If a resource
submits an incremental energy offer
above $1,000/MWh and the actual or
expected costs underlying that offer
cannot be verified before the market
clearing process begins, that offer may
not be used to calculate Locational
Marginal Prices and the resource would
be eligible for a make-whole payment if
that resource is dispatched and the
resource’s actual costs are verified afterthe-fact. A resource would also be
eligible for a make-whole payment if it
is dispatched and its verified cost-based
incremental energy offer exceeds
$2,000/MWh. All resources, regardless
of type, are eligible to submit cost-based
incremental energy offers in excess of
$1,000/MWh.
