Agenda Item 1 — Call to Order, Proxies, Agenda Discussion Richard Ross (AEP) called the meeting to order at 8:15 a.m. The attendance was recorded and proxies were announced (Attachment 1 ‐ MWG Attendance November 17‐18 2015). The following members were represented by proxy:
Cliff Franklin (WR) for Aaron Rome (Midwest) (Attachment 1a ‐ Aaron Rome Proxy) Katie Mentzel (OMPA) for Mike Mushrush (OMPA) (Attachment 1b ‐ Mike Mushrush Proxy) Terry Wright (EDE) for Rick McCord (EDE) (Attachment 1c ‐ Rick McCord Proxy) Mark Trumble (OPPD) for Rick Yanovich (OPPD) (Attachment 1d ‐ Rick Yanovich Proxy)
The group reviewed the agenda (Attachment 2 ‐ MWG Agenda for November 2015). Agenda Item 2 — Working Group/Committee Updates Richard Ross (AEP) updated the MWG on the BOD votes in October. All revision requests on the BOD’s agenda were approved. Agenda Item 3 — Consent Agenda Richard Ross (AEP) introduced the consent agenda items and asked if anyone would like to pull anything from that agenda. There were no requests to pull any items from the agenda. Ron Thompson (NPPD) motioned and Chris Lyons (Exelon) seconded to approve the consent agenda. The motion passed with no oppositions and no abstentions. Agenda Item 4 — Marketplace RR January 2016 MOPC Schedule Erin Cathey (SPP) displayed the January 2016 MOPC Schedule and pointed out the date of November 23, 2015 as the submission deadline for non‐expedited Revision Requests to make it to the January 2016 MOPC (Attachment 3 ‐ January Market Protocol RR MOPC Schedule). Agenda Item 5 — Trading Hubs Update Valerie Weigel (Basin) updated the MWG on activities of the Trading Hubs Focus Group. She told the group that two financial Market Participants will provide better insight to the MWG on the financial perspective and the group recommended the January MWG meeting for the presentation. Valerie updated the MWG that the Trading Hub Focus Group will have a conference call with ICE and Nodal Exchange to ask questions on the products and services they offer. Agenda Item 6 — Ramp Product Next Steps
Minutes No. [241]
Matt Moore (GSEC) updated the MWG on the progress of the Ramp Product Focus Group (Attachment 4 ‐ RPFG November 2015 update). The Ramp Product Focus Group asked the MWG to defer the meetings on a ramp product and start a new focus group on price formulation. The Ramp Product Focus Group would like to research and discuss price transparency, headroom, scarcity pricing, VRL and Operating Reserve relaxation, RUC without proper compensation, no incentive for unit commitments prior to events verses RUC, and economics with reliability event. The topics listed above were discussed in the Ramp Product Focus Group. However, the scope of the Ramp Product Focus Group was limited to a ramp product. Members were concerned that if the ramp product went in before the other topics were considered, it could be viewed as a band aid approach to fixing potential issues in the Integrated Marketplace. Matt recommended to the MWG the Price Formation Focus Group would examine from a holistic perspective whether prices are appropriately incentivizing resources, capturing marginal costs, and providing sufficient price transparency. The MWG endorsed the creation of the Price Formation Focus Group. Richard Dillon (SPP) will further define the scope of the Price Formation Focus Group. Any parties interested in participating in the discussions, will send an email Debbie James at [email protected]. Agenda Item 7 — BOD Action Item for MOPC and MWG: MMU ASOM Recommendations Last month, Gay Anthony (SPP) facilitated a discussion with the MWG as part of fulfilling a SPP BOD action item assigned to MOPC and MWG to review the nine recommendations for market design changes or enhancements by the SPP MMU in their 2014 Annual State of the Market (ASOM) report (Attachment 5 ‐ BOD Action Item for MOPC‐MWG ‐ on MMU ASOM ‐ Nov 2015 ‐ with edits by MWG), and prepare responses/recommendations for presentation to the BOD in a future meeting. Gay reviewed the thoughts and proposed responses from the MWG on each of the MMU recommendations and updated some of the proposed responses to give to the BOD. The final recommendation is included in the MWG minutes background materials. The target date for presentation of responses to the BOD is January 2016. Agenda Item 8 — RR32_MPRR218 ‐ Market Registration Naming Conventions Erin Cathey (SPP) presented RR32 to the MWG (Attachment 6 ‐ ). Erin explained that the revision request was updated with the current Protocol language. Eddie Watson and Gerald Williams (SPP) presented the examples of the naming conventions to the MWG (Attachment 7 ‐ Updated SPP Naming Conventions Data Examples_v2). Kevin Galke (CUS) motioned and Valerie Weigel (Basin) seconded to approve RR32_MPRR218 as modified by the MWG. The motion passed with one opposition (WR) and one abstention (Exelon). Agenda Item 9 — Physical Withholding Penalty Discussion Catherine Mooney (SPP) discussed a propose design changes to add a penalty for violation of the Physical Withholding rules in Marketplace. Catherine explained that NYISO, MISO and New England have a Physical Withholding Penalty in their markets. Catherine explained that there would be no substantial changes to the triggers of Physical Withholding that are currently in the Protocols and Tariff. She explained that the Physical Withholding Penalty was a back stop for Market Power Issue. Members had concerns on the timing of the penalty. The members asked when the penalty occurred, that the notification happened as soon as possible so the members could correct the issue and not receive futher penalty.
Minutes No. [241]
Agenda Item 10 — RR125 Removal of Day‐Ahead Limited Must‐Offer Jared Greenwalt (SPP) presented some potential impacts from SPP's perspective of removing the Limited Day‐Ahead Must‐Offer to the MWG (Attachment 8 ‐ Considerations for RR125). If the Limited Day‐Ahead Must‐Offer is removed, then there could be fewer Resources offering in the Day‐Ahead Market. There would be a potential for shortage of capacity in the Day‐Ahead Market. The shortage of capacity could lead to prices increasing and more reliability‐only Resources clearing. Additionally, it could lead to more virtual Resources clearing. There could be a decrease in Resource commitments out of the Day‐Ahead Market and an increase of commitments needed from the Day‐Ahead RUC. This could increase RUC Make‐Whole payments and decrease the number of Resources for RUC to choose from since RUC has a shorter lead‐time than the Day‐Ahead Market. Richard Ross (AEP) presented RR125 Removal of Day‐Ahead Limited Must‐Offer to the MWG (Attachment 9 ‐ RR125 Recommendation Report). He explained to the MWG that RR125 would eliminate a requirement that MWG members put on themselves that does not work, is inefficient and should be removed. Some MWG members had a concern that they did not want to remove the Limited Day‐Ahead Must‐Offer without first reviewing the Physical Withholding Penalty in detail. Richard reminded the MWG that as discussed in the Physical Withholding Penalty Discussion, the SPP MMU intended to bring forth a revision request regardless of the MWG approving or rejecting RR125. Richard Ross (AEP) motioned and Kevin Galke (CUS) seconded to approve RR125 as submitted by the MWG. The motion passed with three oppositions (Midwest, GSEC, OPPD) and four abstentions (Xcel, WR, KMEA, NPPD). Agenda Item 11 — RR127 JOU Combined Option Jim Flucke (KCPL) updated the MWG on RR127 JOU Combined Option (Attachment 10 ‐ RR127 Recommendation Report). He explained that RR127 was written in response to October’s MWG direction to develop a Revision Request that would implement the aggregate Energy Offer Curve option. Jim explained that RR127 eliminates the potential gaming opportunity by taking all share’s pricing point of a Combined Resource Option for a JOU and aggregating those price points into one Energy Offer Curve. This Revision Request makes all shares under a Combined Resource Option to start at a minimum capacity of zero for the first price point. If committed, all shares of that Combined Resource Option for that JOU will be eligible to recover Start‐Up and No‐Load costs as described in the Protocols. The shares will only receive a dispatch instruction greater than zero based upon the one new aggregated Energy Offer Curve thus eliminating the gaming opportunity. Micha Bailey (SPP) reviewed the RR127 Protocols and Tariff language to the MWG. Jim Flucke (KCPL) motioned and Cliff Franklin (WR) seconded to approve RR127 as modified by the MWG accepting the impact analysis as presented. The motion passed with no opposition and seven abstentions (OPPD, GSEC, Xcel, CUS, KMEA, AECC, EDE). Agenda Item 12 — RR128 Rewriting Start‐Up Eligibility Micha Bailey (SPP) presented RR128 Rewriting Start‐Up Eligibility to the MWG (Attachment 11 ‐ RR128 Recommendation Report). He explained to the MWG that RR128 did not have any system impacts. All system impacts are included in RR16_MPRR190 and RR118. The language on Start‐Up eligibility
Minutes No. [241]
recovery for the Day‐Ahead and Real‐Time Balancing Market has circular references and is not easy to read. RR128 deletes out the circular references and cleans up the language. Ron Thompson (NPPD) motioned and Cliff Franklin (WR) seconded to approve RR128 as submitted. The motion passed with no oppositions and no abstentions. Agenda Item 13 — RR129 Settlement Clean‐Up John Luallen (SPP) presented RR129 Settlement Clean‐Up to the MWG (Attachment 12 ‐ RR129 Recommendation Report). RR129 was drafted to include various Settlement clean up items that were found in the Protocols which include deleting attributes, adding a hashtag in front of billing determinates to indicate rounding, cleaning up various definitions in the variable table, adding 5min to Real‐Time Flags to indicate that those flags are 5 minutes and adding language to the Protocols that match the ER16‐130 Tariff Clean‐Up filing. Katie Mentzel (OMPA) motioned and Ron Thompson (NPPD) seconded to approve RR129 as submitted. The motion passed with no oppositions and no abstentions. Agenda Item 14 — RR130 Commitment Notification Enhancement Casey Cathey (SPP) presented RR130 Commitment Notification Enhancement to the MWG (Attachment 13 ‐ RR130 Recommendation Report). Currently SPP Resource commitments are confirmed by the Market Participant’s system. A timestamp of receipt log is maintained by SPP in order to provide assurance that a Market Participant received all SPP Resource commitment start‐up and shut‐down notifications. There is a gap in the current process where a Market Participant’s system provides a timestamp of receipt; however the operator does not receive the commitment instruction. RR130 will address this gap by requiring a manual acknowledgement via the Markets User Interface or Automatic Programmable Interface to confirm the notifications were received and ensuring the operator receives the commitment instruction. SPP will follow‐up with a phone call if the commitment instruction is not manually confirmed. Members were concerned that this would be an extra step for them and that RR130 is not needed. Valerie Weigel (Basin) motioned and Carrie Dixon (Xcel) seconded to approve RR130 as submitted. The motion passed with one opposition (OPPD) and one abstention (WR). Agenda Item 15 — Benefits of adding Stored Energy Rules to Marketplace Yasser Bahbaz (SPP) discussed with the MWG the benefits of adding Stored Energy Rules to the Integrated Marketplace (Attachment 14 ‐ SER Prelim Benefits). Yasser explained that other markets have reported benefits from Stored Energy Resources (SERs) specifically batteries. Yasser explained that some of the benefits to SPP will be potential Regulation requirement reduction, possible reduction in commitment costs, potential reduction in Market’s Regulation costs and SERs could smooth out ramping events for Variable Energy Resources (VERs). Agenda Item 16 — Action Item #241 Public and Private data Micha Bailey (SPP) discussed Action Item #241 Public and Private data with the MWG (Attachment 15 ‐ Action Item #241 ‐ Public and Private Data). Micha provided links to the members for Market, Settlements and Market to Market public data. He demonstrated how to navigate to the documents by using the links provided in the presentation. The MWG directed SPP Staff to close out Action Item #241.
Minutes No. [241]
Agenda Item 17 — Action Item #242 Safety Net Offer Cap Micha Bailey (SPP) discussed Action Item #242 Safety Net Offer Cap with the MWG (Attachment 16 ‐ Action Item #242 ‐ Safety Net Offer Cap). He explained to the MWG that this action item was on hold until after FERC rules on PJM’s ER14‐1144. He presented a time line of action on ER14‐1144. He explained that SPP did not have an instance where offers exceeded the Safety Net Offer Cap. PJM did have an instance when offers exceeded their Safety Net Offer Cap and submitted the waiver to FERC. The MWG directed SPP Staff to close out Action Item #241. Agenda Item 18 — Action Item #276 SPP Registration and Onboarding Process Erin Cathey (SPP) presented Action Item #276 SPP Registration and Onboarding Process with the MWG (Attachment 17 ‐ SPP Response to MWG Action Item 276). Erin explained that SPP has taken steps to enhance the Model Update process. SPP has developed a User Guide for the Modeling Tool, enhanced training documentation, enhanced Model Coordination processes to improve distribution of registration data and developed RR to allow SPP to deny a registration change if all required information was not provided by the deadline. The MWG directed SPP Staff to close out Action Item #241. Agenda Item 19a — MMU Marketplace Update Catherine Mooney (SPP MMU) presented the MMU Marketplace Update and answered questions from the group (Attachment 18 ‐ 201510 MWG MMU Market Update). Agenda Item 19b — RTO Marketplace Update Gentry Crowson (SPP) presented the RTO Marketplace Update and answered questions from the group (Attachment 19 ‐ November 2015 RTO Update). Agenda Item 19c — Regulatory Report Marisa Choate (SPP) presented the Regulatory Report and answered questions from the group (Attachment 20 ‐ Regulatory Report to MWG 201511). Agenda Item 19ci — FERC NOPRs update Patti Kelly (SPP) updated the MWG on the status of the comments for the FERC NOPRs. Patty explained that SPP would not have time to take the comments through the stakeholder process since the due date is November 30, 2015. Agenda Item 19cii — Mitigated Offer FERC Filing ER15‐2268 Patti Kelly (SPP) updated the MWG on the Mitigate Offer FERC Filing. Patti explained that FERC rejected the filing and that no parties had filed for a request for rehearing with FERC. ER15‐2268 was considered closed. Agenda Item 19ciii — RR8_MPRR164 Mitigated Offer Clarifications Catherine Mooney (SPP MMU) discussed the status of RR8_MPRR164 Mitigated Offer Clarifications (Attachment 21 ‐ RR8_MPRR 164 Recommendation Report). The MWG approved RR8_MPRR164 and asked MOPC to approve RR8_MPRR164. MOPC remanded RR8_MPRR164 back to the MWG. At that time, the Mitigated Offer Task Force‐2014 drafted other revision requests and discussed those with MOPC and tabled RR8_MPRR164. Catherine explained that RR8_MPRR164 was still needed to clarify discrepancies between the Protocols and the Tariff. Some of the language in RR8_MPRR164 was outdated and needed to be rewritten. SPP MMU will draft a new revision request and present it at a

future MWG meeting. Shawn McBroom (OGE) motioned and Cliff Franklin (WR) seconded to reject RR8_MPRR164 with guidance to staff to bring back a new updated RR of RR8_MPRR164 to the MWG. The motion passed with no oppositions and no abstentions. Agenda Item 20 — Reserve Zone Discussion Casey Cathey (SPP) presented the biannual Reserve Zone Discussion to the MWG (Attachment 22 ‐ Reserve Zone Update MWG 20151117). No reserve zone minimum or maximum has been used in the last biannual period. Casey concluded his presentation with no recommendation to change current reserve zone definitions. Agenda Item 21 — 2015 FCA Study John Hyatt (SPP MMU) presented the 2015 FCA Study to the MWG (Attachment 23 ‐ MWG FCA 2015 Study Draft Report Preliminary Results). According to Attachment AF of the Tariff Section 3.1.1, “the Market Monitor shall reevaluate the Frequently Constrained Areas at least annually…”. John explained that the study period covered from September 1, 2014 to September 1, 2015. The impact analysis used a $25/MWh threshold.

RPFG work and discussions• Performed research on three different market designs• Explored in further detail some of the aspects of those
designs• Explored economic benefits and potential estimated cost• Discussed some possible tweaks to other designs• Discussed issues and concerns with “ramp management”• Some concerns that the scope going beyond the
“boundaries” of traditional ramp product as seen in MISO, for example.
• Existing price formation needs additional study and perhaps modification prior to implementation of Ramp Product.
4
RPFG work and discussions• Topics and phrases that continue to pop up
– Price Transparency
– Headroom
– Scarcity Pricing – Recent FERC Docket No. RM15-24 (born from FERC Docket No. AD14-14 price formation proceedings)
– VRL and Operating Reserve relaxation

– No incentive for unit commitments prior to events vs. RUC
– Align economics with Reliability events
– Fast and Quick ramping value
– Among other things
5
October MWG Action Item: Define scope going forward and the timeline• Recommendations:
– MWG form a “Price Formation Focus Group” (PFFG) to holistically examine other critical concerns and report back to MWG with a target date of July 2016 (with the ability to extend as needed).
– Keep the RPFG intact, save current work and research, and postpone future meetings until report from PFFG.
– RPFG to further analyze Ramp Product value and implementation after report from PFFG .
6
“Price Formation Focus Group” – (PFFG)
• Examine from a holistic perspective whether prices (Energy and A/S) are appropriately incentivizing Resources, capturing marginal costs, and providing sufficient price transparency.
• Bi-weekly calls initially with meetings and SPP staff time throttled back over time.
• Provide monthly updates to MWG.
• Present white paper outlining deficiencies in current design and recommended solutions as appropriate.
• Submit Revision Requests to implement solutions.

SPP Board of Director’s Action Item for MOPC and MWG - Re: MMU Recommendations from the 2014 Annual State of the Market Report
November 17, 2015
Background • During the July 2015 SPP Board of Directors (BOD) meeting, the SPP
MMU presented its Annual State of the Market (ASOM) report
• The ASOM includes nine recommendations from the MMU for changes or enhancements to the Integrated Marketplace design
• At the conclusion of the presentation, BOD Chairman Jim Eckelbergerasked the Chairs of the MOPC and MWG to review the ASOM and the MMU recommendations, look at the ideas that should be pursued if they are not already, and prepare responses/recommendations for presentation to the BOD in a future meeting
• The MWG discussed responses to the MMU recommendations in the October MWG meeting
– The following slides contain a summary of the proposed MWG responses –to be finalized by the MWG in November for presentation to the MOPC and BOD in January
2
1. Quick Start Logic
MMU Summary
• The MMU supports the development of new rules governing the dispatch of quick-start resources that (1) do not subject quick-starts to RUC commitment; and (2) do not provide make whole payment eligibility for RTBM dispatch.
MWG Response
• RR99-Short-Term RUC and RR116-Quick Start Enhancements have been approved and will be implemented in 2016
• MWG proposes to wait and see the results of RR99 and RR116 changes before taking any further action related to Quick-Start resources
3
2. Ramp-Constrained Shortage Pricing
MMU Summary
• Ramp-constrained operating reserve shortages should be priced in a manner similar to the operating reserve capacity shortages.
MWG Response
• FERC released a NOPR on 9/17/15 related to shortage pricing
– MWG proposes to wait for the associated FERC Order before taking any action towards revisions related to pricing during ramp shortages
• Additionally, MWG approved in November the creation of a “Price Formation Focus Group”, which will focus on several areas of Marketplace pricing, including shortage pricing, and will be reporting research results and information back to the MWG
4
3. Potential Manipulation of Make Whole Payment ProvisionsMMU Summary
• Potential for make whole payment manipulation for resources committed across the midnight hour, fixed regulation bids, Out-of-Merit energy payments, and jointly-owned units should be eliminated.
5
Area of potential MWP Manipulation
MMU Concerns/Recommendations
Resources committed across the midnight hour
Evaluate solutions adopted by other RTOs to reduce exposure to market manipulation in make whole payment provisions for resources committed across the midnight hours.
Fixed Regulation Bids
Disqualify resources with fixed Regulation bids from receiving the Regulation Deployment Adjustment Charge.
Out-of-Merit energy (OOME) payments
Utilize automatic mitigation provisions for local reliability commitments for local reliability OOME events.
Jointly-Owned Units (JOUs)
Remove the ability to manipulate make whole payments under the JOU Combined Resource Option and improve market efficiency in the JOU design.
3. Potential Manipulation of Make Whole Payment Provisions (cont’d)MWG Response
6
Area of potential MWP Manipulation
Proposed MWG Response
Resources committed across the midnight hour
SPP Staff and MMU will research further, including a look at what other RTOs/ISOs have done
Fixed Regulation Bids
SPP Staff and MMU will research further
Out-of-Merit energy (OOME) payments
MMU will research and submit a Revision Request
Jointly-Owned Units (JOUs)
On 11/17/15, the MWG approved Revision Request 127, which proposes market design changes to eliminate the ability to manipulate make whole payments under the JOU Combined Resource Option, and to improve market efficiency in the JOU design.
4. Day-Ahead Must-Offer RequirementMMU Summary• The MMU recommends that SPP eliminate the limited day-ahead must-
offer provision and revise the physical withholding rules to include a penalty for non-compliance. In the event that the limited must-offer provision is continued, SPP should address design weaknesses.
MWG Response• Regarding the limited day-ahead must-offer portion of this MMU
recommendation: – RR125-Removal of Day-Ahead Limited Must Offer was approved by the
MWG on 11/17/15
• Regarding the physical withholding revision portion:– MMU plans to submit a Revision Request for the December MWG meeting
with proposed revisions to include the penalty for Physical Withholding
• The final MWG response on this MMU recommendation is pending the results of RR125 as it continues to move through the Stakeholder Process, and of the Physical Withholding discussion and RR in December
7
5. TCR and ARR System AvailabilityMMU Summary• TCR and ARR system availability should be reduced to minimize the over-
allocation of TCRs and ARRs that Day-Ahead Market congestion revenues do not support
MWG Response• Note: RR91-Annual Allocation Percent Change will be implemented in time
for the 2016 TCR Annual Auction Process– This change may help with over-allocation of ARRs. Full affects of the change
will not be known until after the 2016-2017 TCR Year which will end in May 2017
• Note: Funding results so far for TCR Year 2015-2016 are consistently within the 90-100% range, which is greatly improved over last year’s results
• Based on the information above, the MWG proposes the following with regard to this MMU recommendation:
– SPP Staff will not propose any TCR enhancements or changes in 2016– Individual MPs may bring proposals (RRs) to the MWG for consideration– MWG will re-evaluate the TCR Market after seeing results of the TCR Year 2016-
20178
6. Transmission Outage Reporting and ModelingMMU Summary
• The MMU supports SPP’s current efforts to improve planned outage reporting and suggests adding flexibility to outage inclusion criteria for ARR and TCR modeling.
MWG Response
• MWG approved in October a change to add transmission outages with a “Proposed” status to the list of current outage types accepted in the models for the TCR Market
• MWG currently has no plans to pursue further changes or enhancements to Transmission Outage Reporting and Modeling. MWG understands that SPP Staff and ORWG will continue to research other possible enhancements and will keep the MWG informed
9
7. TCR Bidding at Electrically Equivalent Settlement LocationsMMU Summary• A systematic block of TCR bidding at electrically equivalent settlement locations
should be implemented to prevent ongoing tariff violations.
MWG Response
• MWG directed SPP Staff to complete the following in 2016:
– Research ERCOT’s “dead bus logic” and report results to the MWG
– Evaluate what it would require from a systems perspective to add the systematic block/validation, and report results to the MWG
– In the meantime, SPP Staff will continue its current approach, which is described as follows:
Post a list of prohibited settlement location pairs
Inform AOs when prohibited bids are submitted
Manually remove prohibited bids from ARR Allocations and TCR Auctions
10
8. Allocation of Over-Collected LossesMMU Summary• SPP should remove the Bilateral Settlement Schedule transactions from
the over-collected losses distribution calculation and consider over-collected losses (OCL) distributions to exports relative to interface transaction profit margins to assess potential distortion of market incentives.
MWG Response• Per MWG direction early in 2015, SPP Staff had begun work on a
proposed design to remove BSSs from OCL distribution, but halted that work when FERC issued Order ER15-763 on 3/31/2015
– Order ER15-763 conditionally accepted Tariff revisions in RR212 for OCL distribution
– The Order also stated disagreement with comments submitted by MMU and Xcel Energy regarding the removal of BSSs from the OCL distribution, saying that their concerns were “speculative and unsupported at this time”.
• MWG proposes that FERC did not necessarily reject the idea of removing BSSs from OCL distribution, and would like to bring this topic back up for discussion and consideration at MWG in Q1-2016
11
9. Market Power Mitigation Conduct Thresholds
MMU Summary
• The MMU supports a modest increase in offer conduct thresholds for start-up offers, regulation offers, and for energy offers for Frequently Constrained Areas.
MWG Response
• MMU has stated that they plan to:
– submit a Revision Request for the FCA threshold change by the end of 2015
– continue to do research and analysis on the threshold changes for start-up and regulation offers, and submit a Revision Request in 2016
• MWG will await submission of the RRs by MMU for consideration and possible approval

Considerations for RR125November 17, 2015
Jared [email protected]
RR125 Potential Impacts
• Fewer Resources offering in Day-Ahead Market– Potential for shortage of capacity in Day-Ahead Market
Invoke SCUC logic for shortage conditions
– May commit Resources with a Commit Status of “Reliability” Invoke SCED logic for shortage conditions
– Scarcity Pricing would apply
– Reg-Up prices may increase due to less online capacity to choose from
– Potential increase in virtual Resources clearing
2
RR125 Potential Impacts (continued)
• Could decrease Resource commitments out of the DA Market– May reduce amount of Resources available for
commitment due to lead time
• Could increase commitments needed from DA RUC– Could increase RUC MWP

Revision Request Recommendation Report
RR #: 125 Date: 10/2/2015
RR Title: Removal of Day-Ahead Limited Must-Offer
SUBMITTER INFORMATION
Name: C. Richard Ross Company: American Electric Power
Email: [email protected] Phone: 918.599.2966
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION FOR MOPC AND BOD ACTION
OBJECTIVE OF REVISION
Objectives of Revision Request: Describe the problem/issue this revision request will resolve.
The Market Working Group voted to remove the limited Day-Ahead must offer language at the November 2014 MWG. The MMU indicated that the Day-Ahead must offer requirement does not appear to be necessary at the August MWG. The MMU recommended that the MWG, if it wanted to keep the current design, then it should close the loopholes, exempt VERs, and resolve JOU commitments. Data has shown that for hours in which a penalty has been levied, there was more than enough generation offered. The majority of Market Working Group members, given the choice of continuing the current limited must offer or eliminating the must offer entirely, prefer to eliminate the must offer requirement entirely.
Describe the benefits that will be realized from this revision.
This RR removes the Day-Ahead must-offer requirement as recommended by the MMU in the Annual State of the Market report. The Day-Ahead must-offer is not necessary in the Integrated Marketplace, and removing it will reduce SPP workload.

PROPOSED REVISION(S) TO SPP DOCUMENTS
Market Protocols
4.2.1 Must-Offer Requirement
Market Participants are required to offer available Resources to the Day-Ahead Market, RUC, and RTBM
as described in this section below.
4.2.1.1 Day-Ahead Market
There is no requirement for any Resource to offer in the DA Market.
(A) Each Market Participant with registered load must satisfy the must offer obligation for each Asset
Owner associated with that registered load as set forth in Section 4.2.1.1 based on the following
criteria:
(1) A Market Participant’s load for an Asset Owner for purposes of this section shall be equal to
the Market Participant’s maximum hourly Reported Load for that Asset Owner for the
Operating Day. When an Asset Owner selling power under a bilateral contract has registered
the load of the Asset Owner that is buying power under the bilateral contract as described
under Section 6.2.8, the buyer’s Reported Load shall be reduced by the amount of the buyer’s
load registered by the seller and the seller’s Reported Load shall be increased by the amount
of the buyer’s load registered by the seller.
(2) A Market Participant’s daily Operating Reserve obligation for an Asset Owner shall be equal
to the sum of that Market Participant’s maximum daily Regulation-Up Service, Regulation-
Page 4 of 13
Down Service and Contingency Reserve obligation for that Asset Owner as calculated by
SPP as described in Section 4.1.3(4).
(3) Resources submitted with a Commitment Status of Market, Self or Reliability may be used
to satisfy this requirement.
(4) A load-serving Market Participant’s net resource capacity, for an Asset Owner for purposes
of this section shall include:
(a) Offered capacity by Resources identified in (3) above less the Operating Reserve
obligation identified in (2) above; and
(b) Firm Power purchases less the Firm Power sales, except that, if the seller has registered
the buyer’s load associated with a firm power sale, such firm power sale shall not act
to increase the buyer’s net resource capacity or act to reduce the seller’s net resource
capacity.
(i) For purposes of this Section 4.2.1.1, firm power purchases and firm power
sales shall mean sales and purchases that are deliverable with service
comparable to Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service or Firm Network
Integration Transmission Service with the supplier assuming the obligation to
provide both capacity and energy. Additionally, firm power purchases shall
include an Asset Owner’s share of a Jointly Owned Unit to the extent that
such shares have not been registered as separate Resources either under the
JOU Individual Resource Option or the JOU Combined Resource Option as
described under Section 4.2.2.5.4. In order to verify firm power purchases
and firm power sales, supporting documentation must be provided to the
Market Monitor upon request. Market Participants have the option to input
information regarding firm power purchases and firm power sales into the
Market Monitor website. If no information is input into this website, the
Market Monitor will contact the Market Participant for that information. The
Market Monitor may confirm the firm purchase or sale with the counterparty
and will include the transacted MWs to calculate net resource capacity for
both purchaser and seller. If one of the parties dispute the firm purchase or
sale to the Market Monitor, then the firm purchase or sale will not be used in
the calculation of either the purchaser’s or seller’s net resource capacity.
Page 5 of 13
(B) A Market Participant’s compliance with the must-offer obligation for an Asset Owner is as
follows:
(1) A Market Participant that has offered all of its available Resources for an Asset Owner with
a Commitment Status of Market, Self, or Reliability for an hour of the Operating Day is
deemed to be compliant with the must-offer requirement for that Asset Owner for that hour
regardless of its maximum hourly Reported Load and/or Operating Reserve obligation.
(a) A Market Participant that does not have any registered Resources for an Asset Owner
has met the must-offer requirement for that Asset Owner because it does not have any
Resources with a Commitment Status of Not Participating for that Asset Owner.
(2) A Market Participant that does not meet the condition described in (B)(1) above for an Asset
Owner for an hour of the Operating Day, but has net resource capacity for that Asset Owner
for that hour greater than or equal to 90% of its load for that Asset Owner, as described in
(A)(1) above, is deemed to be compliant with the must-offer requirement for that Asset
Owner for that hour.
(3) To the extent a Market Participant does not meet the conditions for an Asset Owner described
in either Section (B)(1) and (2), the Market Participant shall be deemed noncompliant with
the must-offer requirement for that Asset Owner for that hour and will be assessed a penalty
for that Asset Owner for that hour as described in Section 4.2.1.1.1.
(4) Resources used as the source of a GFA Carve Out or FSE must be offered, if available, with
a sufficient capacity to cover the GFA Carve Out Schedule or FSE Schedule. GFA Carve
Out or FSE treatment is only available to the extent that the Resources are offered into the
DA Market using a Commitment Status of Market, Self or Reliability. To the extent the
source is external, an Import Interchange Transaction must be submitted in the DA Market
with a sufficient capacity to cover the GFA Carve Out Schedule or FSE Schedule.
(C) The Market Monitor shall monitor a Market Participant’s load, Operating Reserve obligation,
offered Resources and net resource capacity, for an Asset Owner for each hour of the Operating
Day to determine whether the Market Participant has complied with the must offer obligation for
that Asset Owner set forth in Section 4.2.1.1 B.
4.2.1.1.1 Penalty Calculation
For each hour of the Operating Day that a Market Participant is found to be noncompliant as determined
by the conditions set forth in Sections 4.2.1.1 B, that Market Participant shall be assessed a penalty. The
penalty amount and the distribution of penalty revenues shall be determined as follows:
(1) An Asset Owner’s penalty amount in each hour is calculated by multiplying the Asset Owner’s
Must-Offer Penalty MW by the maximum of zero or the Asset Owner’s Must-Offer Penalty LMP
for that hour.

(a) Asset Owner Must-Offer Penalty MW is equal to the minimum of (i) the Asset Owner
Shortage MW or (ii) the Asset Owner Not Offered MW;
(i) Asset Owner Shortage MW is calculated as the difference between:
(1) 90% of the Market Participant’s load for an Asset Owner as described in
4.2.1.1A.(1); and
(2) The Market Participant’s net resource capacity for an Asset Owner as
described in 4.2.1.1 A(3).
(ii) Asset Owner Not Offered MW is calculated as the sum of the reference levels for
the Maximum Economic Capability Operating Limit, as determined by the process
in Section 8.2.2.8, less derate MW amounts approved and recorded in the outage
scheduler tool for the Market Participant’s Resources for that Asset Owner with a
Commitment Status of Not Participating.
(b) The Must-Offer Penalty LMP is calculated as the weighted average of the Day-Ahead LMP
for the Market Participant’s Resources for that Asset Owner with a Commitment Status of
Not Participating, where the weights for the calculation are the corresponding Not Offered
MWs.
(2) In any hour in which must-offer penalty revenues are collected, such revenues shall be distributed
to Market Participants for an Asset Owner on a pro-rata basis for that Asset Owner’s Resources
that were offered in compliance with the must-offer requirement in Section 4.2.1.1. The pro-rata
share shall be equal to the ratio of (i) each compliant Asset Owner load, as described in 4.2.1.1 for
that hour to (ii) the sum of all compliant Asset Owner loads for that hour.
4.2.1.2 RUC and RTBM
For the RUC and RTBM, Market Participants must submit Resource Offers for all Resources, for each
product for which it is qualified, to the extent these Resources are available (e.g. not on forced outage,
planned outage, or Reserve Shutdown). Market Participants must include in their Resource Offers the full
amount of physical capacity available as reflected in the Resource’s submitted Maximum Normal
Capacity Operating Limit and Maximum Emergency Capacity Operating Limit.
4.5.11 Miscellaneous Amount
(1) In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to recalculate or make changes to previously billed
charges that cannot be handled though a standard final settlement or resettlement execution for
that operating day. This is anticipated to occur only on an exception basis. SPP will manually
calculate the adjustment and post as a manual adjustment to the initial, final, and/or resettlement
statement, regardless of the Operating Day in question. A comment will be added to the Bill
Statement to alert the reader to the reason for the adjustment and the effective Operating Day(s).
SPP will post supporting documentation for the manual calculation of any miscellaneous charge
to the Portal no later than the time the Settlement Statement including the miscellaneous charge
has been posted. In some situations the charge or credit assessed must be excluded from Revenue
Page 7 of 13
Neutrality Uplift calculations such that SPP is left with a net receivable or payable amount for the
settlement of the OD.
(2) In addition, through Balancing Authority Agreements with adjacent external Balancing
Authorities, SPP may supply Emergency Export Interchange Transactions when requested by the
applicable external Balancing Authority or SPP may request, under SPP Emergency conditions,
that applicable external Balancing Authorities supply Emergency Import Interchange Transactions
to SPP. To the extent that such transactions are confirmed, credits to SPP for Emergency Export
Interchange Transactions and charges to SPP for Emergency Import Interchange Transactions are
included in this charge type.
(3) In addition, a local transmission operator may require commitment, decommitment, or dispatch
instructions to be issued to one or more Resources in order to solve a reliability issue. Payments
to Resource Asset Owners as described under Sections 4.5.9.8, 4.5.9.9 and charges to Asset
Owners as described under Section 4.5.9.10 associated with such commitment, decommitment, or
dispatch instructions are included in this charge type.
(4) In addition, SPP may impose penalties for noncompliance with the Day-Ahead Market must-offer
requirement as described under Section 4.2.1.1.1. Any penalties assessed to noncompliant Asset
Owners, and the distribution of those penalties by load-ratio share, excluding the noncompliant
Asset Owners, are included in this charge type.
(5)(4) A miscellaneous charge type will be utilized for each distinct charge type and any other
charges and credits not specifically accounted for under a distinct charge type. Miscellaneous
charges and credits to the affected Asset Owners are represented for each Operating Day as
follows:
MiscDlyAmt a, ct, s, rnu, d
(6)(5) For each Asset Owner associated with Market Participant m, a daily amount is
calculated. The net daily amount is calculated as follows:
MiscAoAmt a, m, d = ∑ct
∑s∑rnu
MiscDlyAmt a, ct, s, rnu, d
(7)(6) For each Market Participant, a daily amount is calculated representing the sum of Asset
Owner amounts associated with that Market Participant. The daily amount is calculated as
follows:
MiscMpAmt m, d = ∑a
MiscAoAmt a, m, d

6.2.8 Loads Transfers Relating to Bilateral Contracts
A Market Participant that is selling firm power to another Market Participant under a bilateral contract
may, with the agreement of the buyer, register all or a portion of the buyer’s load as its load asset as
described under Section 2.2(11) of Attachment AE to the Tariff. For the purposes of Section 4.2.1.1, such
registration of the buyer’s load by the seller shall be accounted for by including such load in the seller’s
Reported Load and not including such load in the buyer’s Reported Load, as described under Section
4.2.1.1(A)(1), and such associated bilateral contracts shall not be included in either the buyer’s or seller’s
net resource capacity described under Section 4.2.1.1(A)(4).
8.2.7 Sanctions for Noncompliance with the Day-Ahead Market Must Offer Requirement
In the case that a Market Participant with registered load is found to be noncompliant for an Asset Owner
associated with that registered load as determined by the conditions set forth in Sections 4.2.1.1, the
Market Participant shall be assessed a penalty for that Asset Owner as described in 4.2.1.1.1 (1)(a). The
penalty amount shall be equal to the Day Ahead Market LMP associated with the withheld capacity as
described in Section 4.2.1.1.1(1)(b).
The Market Monitor will monitor for, and report to the Commission’s Office of Enforcement (“OE”),
manipulative behavior associated with Day Ahead Offers, including (but not limited to) monitoring load-
serving Market Participants who purposefully underestimate peak loads. The Market Monitor will also
report to OE any locational problems, such as deliverability issues, associated with load-serving Market
Participants’ offers in the Day Ahead market, any identified efforts by Market Participants to raise prices
in the real-time market by limiting Day Ahead offers, and the effects of any such efforts upon make whole
payments.

2.2 Application and Asset Registration
…
(11) A Market Participant that is selling firm power to the load asset under a bilateral contract
may, with the agreement of the buyer, register all or a portion of the buyer’s load as its
load asset. For purposes of this Section 2.2(11) of this Attachment AE, the sale of firm
Page 9 of 13
power shall refer to power sales deliverable with firm transmission service, with the
supplier assuming the obligation to serve the buyer’s load with both capacity and energy.
For the purposes of Section 2.11.1 of this Attachment AE, such registration of the buyer’s
load by the seller shall be accounted for by including such load in the seller’s Reported
Load and not including such load in the buyer’s Reported Load, as described under
Section 2.11.1(A)(1) of this Attachment AE, and such associated bilateral contracts shall
not be included in either the buyer’s or seller’s net resource capacity described under
Section 2.11.1(A)(4) of this Attachment AE.
…
2.11 Must-Offer Requirement
2.11.1 Day-Ahead Market
There is no requirement for any Resource to offer in the DA Market.
A. Each Market Participant must satisfy the must offer obligation for an Asset Owner as set forth in
Section 2.11.1(B) of this Attachment AE based on the following criteria:
(1) A Market Participant’s load for an Asset Owner for purposes of this section shall be equal
to that Market Participant’s maximum hourly Reported Load for an Asset Owner for the
Operating Day. Such Asset Owner’s Reported Load shall include load registered as
described under Section 2.2(11) of this Attachment AE, where the buyer’s Reported Load
shall be reduced by the amount of the buyer’s load registered by the seller and the seller’s
Reported Load shall be increased by the amount of the buyer’s load registered by the seller.
(2) A Market Participant’s daily Operating Reserve obligation for an Asset Owner shall be
equal to the sum of that Market Participant’s maximum daily Regulation-Up Service,
Regulation-Down Service and Contingency Reserve obligations for an Asset Owner as
estimated by the Transmission Provider in accordance with Section 3.1.4(3) of this
Attachment AE.
(3) A Market Participant may satisfy this requirement by offering Resources for an Asset
Owner with a commitment status indicating either that the Market Participant is self-
committing the Resource, the Resource may be committed by the Transmission Provider,
or the Resource may be committed by the Transmission Provider only to alleviate an
anticipated Emergency Condition or Local Reliability Issue, as specified in Sections
Page 10 of 13
4.1(10)(a), 4.1(10)(b), and 4.1(10)(c) of the Attachment AE.
(4) A Market Participant’s net resource capacity for an Asset Owner, for purposes of this
section shall include:
i. Offered capacity by Resources identified in Section 2.11.1(A)(3) of Attachment AE
less the Operating Reserve obligation identified in Section 2.11.1(A)(2) of
Attachment AE; and
ii. Firm power purchases less firm power sales, except that, if the seller has registered
the buyer’s load associated with a firm power sale as described in Section 2.2(11)
of this Attachment AE, such firm power sale shall not act to increase the buyer’s
net resource capacity or act to reduce the seller’s net resource capacity. For
purposes of this Section 2.11.1 of this Attachment AE firm power purchases and
firm power sales shall mean sales and purchases that are deliverable with
transmission service comparable to Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service or
Firm Network Integration Transmission Service with the supplier assuming the
obligation to provide both capacity and energy. Additionally, firm power purchases
shall include an Asset owner’s share of a Jointly Owned Unit to the extent that such
shares have not been registered as separate Resources either under Jointly Owned
Unit individual Resource option or the Jointly Owned Unit combined Resource
option as described under Section 2.2(4) of this Attachment AE.
In order to verify firm power purchases and firm power sales, supporting
documentation must be provided to the Market Monitor upon request. Market
Participants have the option to input information regarding firm power purchases
and firm power sales into the Market Monitor website. If no information is input
into this website, the Market Monitor will contact the Market Participant for that
information. The Market Monitor may communicate with the counterparty to
confirm the firm purchase or sale and will include the transacted MWs to calculate
net resource capacity for both purchaser and seller. If one of the parties disputes
the firm purchase or sale to the Market Monitor, then the firm purchase or sale will
not be used in the calculation of either the purchaser’s or seller’s net resource
capacity subject to any dispute resolution.
B. A Market Participant’s compliance with the must offer obligation for an Asset Owner is as follows:
(1) A Market Participant that has offered all of its available Resources for an Asset Owner,
with a commitment status described in Sections 4.1(10)(a), 4.1(10)(b), and/or 4.1(10)(c) of
Page 11 of 13
this Attachment AE, for an hour of the Operating Day is deemed to be in compliance with
the must offer requirement for that Asset Owner for that hour regardless of its maximum
hourly Reported Load and/or, Operating Reserve obligation.
(2) A Market Participant that does not meet the condition described in Section 2.11.1(B)(1) of
this Attachment AE for an Asset Owner for an hour of the Operating Day, but has net
resource capacity for that Asset Owner for that hour greater than or equal to 90% of its load
for that Asset Owner as described in Section 2.11.1(A)(1) of this Attachment AE is deemed
to be in compliance for that Asset Owner with the must offer requirement for that hour.
(3) To the extent that a Market Participant does not meet the conditions described in either
Section 2.11.1(B)(1) or (2) for an Asset Owner, the Market Participant shall be deemed
noncompliant with the must offer requirement for that Asset Owner for that hour and will
be assessed a penalty for that hour as determined in Section 3.9 of Attachment AF of this
Tariff.
C. Market Monitor shall monitor a Market Participant’s Load, Operating Reserve obligation, offered
Resources and net resource capacity, for an Asset Owner for each hour of the Operating Day to
determine whether the Market Participant has complied with the must offer obligation set forth in
Section 2.11.1(B).
2.11.1 Reliability Unit Commitment and the Real-Time Balancing Market
For the RUC processes and RTBM, Market Participants must submit Resource Offers for
all Resources to the extent these Resources are available. Market Participants must include in their
Resource Offers the full amount of physical capacity available as reflected in the Resource’s
submitted Maximum Normal Capacity Operating Limit and Maximum Emergency Capacity
Operating Limit.
ATTACHMENT AF
MARKET POWER MITIGATION PLAN
3.8 Mitigation Exceptions A. The Market Monitor shall, as soon as practicable and if warranted in light of the
information available to the Market Monitor, contact a Market Participant to
request an explanation of its actions in cases when an impact threshold in Section
3.7 of this Attachment AF is exceeded and the Market Participant’s offer exceeded
Page 12 of 13
the mitigated offer by more than the relevant conduct threshold, as specified in
Section 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4 of this Attachment AF.
B. If a Market Participant anticipates submitting an offer that will exceed the mitigated
offer by more than the relevant conduct threshold, it may contact the Market
Monitor to provide an explanation of the changes in its offer. If the Market
Participant’s pre-offer explanation indicates to the Market Monitor that the
questioned behavior is consistent with competitive behavior, the Transmission
Provider will not impose mitigation with respect to that offer unless and until
circumstances are deemed to warrant it, and the Transmission Provider or the
Market Monitor so notifies the Market Participant. In circumstances where,
following a Market Participant’s pre-offer explanation, both the conduct and impact
thresholds are violated but no mitigation is imposed, the Market Monitor will record
such instances and will report such instances to the Commission’s Office of
Enforcement, or its successor organization, every three months during the first year
of Integrated Marketplace operations, and yearly thereafter. To the extent that the
report contains sensitive data, the Market Monitor should include any such data in
a non-public version of the report.
3.9 Sanctions for Noncompliance with the Day-Ahead Market Must Offer Requirement A. In the case that a Market Participant is found to be noncompliant for an Asset
Owner as determined by the conditions set forth in Section 2.11.1 of Attachment
AE, the Market Participant shall be assessed a penalty for that Asset Owner by the
Transmission Provider for each megawatt of withheld capacity below the 10%
tolerance band. The penalty amount shall be equal to the Day-Ahead Market LMP
associated with the withheld capacity.
B. The Market Monitor will monitor for, and report to the Commission’s Office of
Enforcement, or its successor organization, manipulative behavior associated with
Day-Ahead Offers, including (but not limited to) monitoring load-serving Market
Participants who do not offer enough net resource capacity to meet their maximum
hourly Reported Load. The Market Monitor will also report to the Commission’s
Office of Enforcement or its successor organization any locational problems, such
as deliverability issues, associated with load-serving Market Participants’ offers in
the Day-Ahead Market, any identified efforts by Market Participants to raise prices
Page 13 of 13
in the RTBM by limiting Day-Ahead Offers, and the effects of any such efforts
upon make whole payments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION FOR MOPC AND BOD ACTION
OBJECTIVE OF REVISION
Objectives of Revision Request: Describe the problem/issue this revision request will resolve.
In the current market design of a Combine Resource Option for JOUs, an Asset Owner could potentially game the Energy Offer Curve of Make-Whole Payments. Each share of a Combine Resource Option is allowed to put in their own independent offer based on their costs for energy. The potential gaming opportunity is achieved by putting in a larger than normal Energy Offer Curve and getting dispatch to their minimum. Since the entire JOU plant is committed or none at all, the Asset Owner with the higher than normal Energy Offer Curve is made whole to that curve.
This Revision Request eliminates the potential gaming opportunity by taking all share’s pricing point of a Combined Resource Option for a JOU and aggregating those price points into one Energy Offer Curve. This Revision Request makes all shares under a Combined resource Option to start at a minimum capacity of zero for the first price point. If committed, all shares of that Combined Resource Option for that JOU will be eligible to recover Start-Up and No-Load costs as described in the Protocols. The shares will only receive a dispatch instruction greater than zero based upon the one new aggregated Energy Offer Curve thus eliminating the gaming opportunity.
Describe the benefits that will be realized from this revision.
This Revision Request will eliminate a potential gaming opportunity. Currently, one share of a Combine JOU Option could be dispatch to minimum uneconomically and could potentially receive a higher than normal Make-Whole-Payment based on their Energy Offer Curve because the JOU plant is dispatched as a whole picks up all of the individual share(s). This Revision Request will make all shares of a Combine JOU Option start at zero for the first price point and then aggregate all of the price points into one new Energy Offer curve. If committed, the shares will only be dispatched off of zero if that share is economically.

4.2.2.1 Resource Offer Parameters
The following Resource Offer parameters must be submitted to constitute a valid offer for use in either
the DA Market or RTBM:
(1) Resource Name (as specified during Market Registration and cannot be changed as part of
Resource Offer submittal);
(2) Start-Up Offer ($/Start, Hot, Intermediate and Cold – Hourly Unit Commitment Parameter)1;
(3) Mitigated Start-Up Offer ($/Start, Hot, Intermediate and Cold – Hourly Unit Commitment
Parameter) 1;
(4) No-Load Offer ($/Hour)1;
(5) Mitigated No-Load Offer ($/Hour) 1;
1 For Market Participants that have registered a JOU under the Combined Resource Option (see Section 6.1.6.2), this value must be submitted by or on behalf of the designated Asset Owner and represents the value for the entire Physical JOU Resource. See Section 4.2.2.5.4).
Page 4 of 19
(6) Energy Offer Curve (MW, $/MWh, up to 10 price/quantity pairs, monotonically non-decreasing
$/MWh, increasing MW and slope or block option);
(a) Block and slope pairs may not coexist. The Resource Offer in effect for any given period
of time must be comprised of by all block or all slope price/quantity pairs.
(i) For a JOU under the Combined Resource Option, the block or slope option must be
selected by or on behalf of the designated Asset Owner. All other JOU Share
Resource owners of that JOU must use the option selected by the designate Asset
Owner. All other JOU Share Resource owners of that JOU will be converted to the
option selected by the designated Asset Owner if submitted differently.
(b) The price of all MWhs below the first pricing point MWh is equal to the first pricing point
price. The price of all MWhs above the last pricing point MWh is equal to the last pricing
point price.
(c) Under the slope option, the set of price points that are submitted are used as the beginning
and ending values for calculating a linear slope for each set of beginning and ending values.
Therefore, each MW between the two price points has a different price due to the
interpolation of the submitted price points. Under the block option, each MW between the
two MW points is offered at the price of the larger MW point. Exhibit 4-5 illustrates
Energy Offer Curves developed from submitted price/MWh pairs for both the slope and
block options.

4.2.2.5.4 Jointly Owned Unit
Jointly Owned Unit (JOU) owners may elect to model their individual ownership shares as separate
Resources using either the Individual Resource Option or the Combined Resource Option as specified
during market registration as described under Section 6.1.6. Otherwise, the Resource is modeled like any
other single Resource with an associated single Asset Owner. Resource offers may be submitted for each
Asset Owner’s JOU ownership (“JOU Share Resource”) the same as any other Resource subject to the
following Resource Offer validation rules and exceptions.
(1) As part of market registration, the following offer parameters representing the ownership and
physical characteristics of the entire JOU (“Physical JOU Resource”) must be submitted either by
or on behalf of the Asset Owner identified at registration (“designated Asset Owner”):
(a) JOU maximum physical capacity operating limit;
(b) JOU minimum physical capacity operating limit;
(c) maximum physical 10-minute response from an off-line state (if a Quick-Start Resource);
and
(d) JOU Ownership Percent Share by Asset Owner (Default value. May be updated as part of
DA Market and RTBM Offer. Only required if registered under Combined Resource
Option).
(2) The following Offer parameters as submitted by or on behalf of each Asset Owner for its JOU
Share Resource must meet the following criteria in order to be accepted as valid offers, otherwise,
all Offers related to the Physical JOU Resource will revert to the last valid offer;
(a) The sum of the Maximum Emergency Capacity Operating Limits of each JOU Share
Resource associated with the Physical JOU Resource must be less than or equal to the
Physical JOU Resource maximum physical capacity operating limit; and
Page 6 of 19
(b) The sum of the Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limits of each JOU Share
Resource associated with the Physical JOU Resource must be greater than or equal to the
Physical JOU Resource minimum physical capacity operating limit;
(3) Commitment of individual JOU Share Resources that have registered under the Individual
Resource Option will be evaluated by SCUC based on the individually submitted Offers for each
JOU Share Resource;
(4) Commitment of JOU Share Resources that have registered under the Combined Resource option
will be evaluated by SCUC based on a combination of the individually submitted Offers for each
JOU Share Resource and the Offer parameters submitted by or on behalf of the designated Asset
Owner that apply to the entire Physical JOU Resource (see Section 4.2.2.1 for footnoted
parameters to be submitted by or on behalf of the designated Asset Owner and Section 4.2.2.2
regarding Commitment Status) given the additional constraint that if one of the JOU Resources is
committed, all JOU Share Resources associated with the Physical JOU Resource must be
committed. This rule also applies to clearing of Supplemental Reserve from off-line Quick-Start
Resources. Each Asset Owner of a JOU Share Resource under the Combined Resource Option
must submit a zero for Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limit, Minimum Normal
Capacity Operating Limit, and Minimum Economic Capacity Operating Limit. The JOU
minimum physical capacity operating limit submitted in registration can be achieved by any
combination of JOU Share Resource(s) during the commitment period. The designated Asset
Owner of that JOU under the Combined Resource Option will designate for all shares either the
slope or block option when submitting the Energy Offer Curve. A JOU under the Combined
Resource Option will be dispatched using an aggregated Energy Offer Curve. This aggregated
Energy Offer Curve is made up of all price points from each JOU Share Resource’s Energy Offer
Curve associated with that JOU. When committed each JOU Share Resource is eligible for
recovery of Start-Up Offer and No-Load Offer costs proportional to that Asset Owner’s JOU
Ownership Percent Share whether or not that JOU Share Resource was dispatched greater than
zero MWs as described under Section 4.5.8.12 and 4.5.9.8. Prior to evaluation by SCUC, each
JOU Share Resource associated with the Physical JOU Resource is assigned the following unit
commitment parameters as submitted by or on behalf of the designated Asset Owner:
(a) The Start-Up Offer of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the Start-Up Offer submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource by that Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent Share and this
value will be used for make-whole-payment calculation purposes;
(b) The Mitigated Start-Up Offer of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the Mitigated Start-Up Offer
submitted for the Physical JOU Resource by that Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent
Share and this value will be used for make-whole-payment calculation purposes;
Page 7 of 19
(c) The No-Load Offer of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the No-Load Offer submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource by that Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent Share and this
value will be used for make-whole-payment calculation purposes;
(d) The Mitigated No-Load Offer of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the Mitigated No-Load Offer
submitted for the Physical JOU Resource by that Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent
Share and this value will be used for make-whole-payment calculation purposes;
(e) The Sync-To-Min Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Sync-To-Min Time submitted for the Physical
JOU Resource;
(f) The Min-To-Off Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Min-To-Off Time submitted for the Physical
JOU Resource;
(g) The Start-Up Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Start-Up Time submitted for the Physical JOU
Resource;
(h) The Hot to Intermediate Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Hot to Intermediate Time submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource;
(i) The Hot to Cold Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Hot to Cold Time submitted for the Physical
JOU Resource;
(j) The Maximum Daily Starts of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Maximum Daily Starts submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource;
(k) The Maximum Weekly Starts of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Maximum Weekly Starts submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource;
(l) The Maximum Daily Energy of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the Maximum Daily Energy
submitted for the Physical JOU Resource by that Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent
Share;
(m) The Minimum Run Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Minimum Run Time submitted for the Physical
JOU Resource;
Page 8 of 19
(n) The Minimum Down Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with
the Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Minimum Down Time submitted for the
Physical JOU Resource;
(o) The Maximum Run Time of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource associated with the
Physical JOU Resource is set equal to the Maximum Run Time submitted for the Physical
JOU Resource;
(p) The Maximum Quick-Start Response Limit of each Asset Owner’s JOU Share Resource
associated with the Physical JOU Resource is calculated by multiplying the Maximum
Quick-Start Response Limit submitted for the Physical JOU Resource by that Asset

eligibility rules as any other Resource.
(6)(7) The Meter Agent(s) assigned to the Physical JOU Resource must account for all physical
Energy produced and properly reflect this Energy in each individual JOU Share Resource meter
data submittal.
6.1.6 Jointly Owned Resource
In addition to the responsibilities described under Section 6.1.1, Market Participants wishing to model
each ownership share as a separate Resource must choose one of the two options described below and
provide the specified additional information. A Resource registered as a Combined Cycle Resource may
not register as a JOU.
6.1.6.1 Individual Resource Option
Under the Individual Resource Option, each ownership share is modeled as a separate Resource for the
purposes of commitment and dispatch and each Resource may be committed independent of the other
Resource shares. In order to qualify for this option, all Asset Owners must certify that if their ownership
share Resource is the only Resource committed, that their ownership share is greater than or equal to the
minimum physical capacity operating limit of the Physical JOU Resource. The following additional
information must also be provided and/or specified:
Page 11 of 19
(1) Specification of a single Asset Owner that will be responsible for submittal of the following
operating data representing the physical operating characteristics of entire JOU Resource for use
in data validation as described under Section 4.2.2.5.4;
(a) JOU maximum physical capacity operating limit;
(b) JOU minimum physical capacity operating limit; and
(c) Maximum physical 10-minute response from an off-line state.
(2) Specification of each Asset Owner and Settlement Location associated with each individual
ownership share.
The default presumption is that the operating owner’s Meter Agent will be the Meter Agent for that JOU
Resource unless each individual JOU Resource owner registers a different Meter Agent for its share of
the Resource.
6.1.6.2 Combined Resource Option
Under the Combined Resource Option, each ownership share is modeled as a separate Resource for the
dispatch purposes but commitment related parameters are submitted representing the entire physical
Resource. Under this option, the commitment decision is made assuming that all Resource shares must
be committed or none at all. Each Asset Owner of a JOU Share Resource under the Combined Resource
Option must submit a zero for Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limit, Minimum Normal
Capacity Operating Limit, and Minimum Economic Capacity Operating Limit. The JOU minimum
physical capacity operating limit submitted in registration can be achieved by any combination of JOU
Share Resource(s) during the commitment period. The designated Asset Owner of that JOU under the
Combined Resource Option will designate for all shares either the slope or block option when submitting
the Energy Offer Curve. A JOU under the Combined Resource Option will be dispatched using an
aggregated Energy Offer Curve. This aggregated Energy Offer Curve is made up of all price points from
each JOU Share Resource’s Energy Offer Curve associated with that JOU. When committed each JOU
Share Resource is eligible for recovery of Start-Up Offer and No-Load Offer costs proportional to that
Asset Owner’s JOU Ownership Percent Share whether or not that JOU Share Resource was dispatched
greater than zero MWs as described under Section 4.5.8.12 and 4.5.9.8. This option must be selected if
the eligibility criteria stated under the Individual Resource Option cannot be met. The following additional
information must also be provided
(1) Specification of a single Asset Owner (“designated Asset Owner”) that will be responsible for
submittal by or on its behalf of all unit commitment related data and the following operating data
representing the physical operating characteristics of entire JOU Resource for use in data
validation as described under Section 4.2.2.5.4;
(a) JOU maximum physical capacity operating limit;
(b) JOU minimum physical capacity operating limit; and
Page 12 of 19
(c) Maximum physical 10-minute response from an off-line state.
(2) Specification of each Asset Owner, JOU Ownership Percent Share and Settlement Location
associated with each individual ownership share JOU Resource.
(a) Submitted JOU Ownership Percent Shares must add up to 100%.
The default presumption is that the operating owner’s Meter Agent will be the Meter Agent for that JOU
Resource unless each individual JOU Resource owner registers a different Meter Agent for its share of
the Resource.
SPP Tariff (OATT)
Attachment AE
2.2 Application and Asset Registration
(1) Applications for a Market Participant to provide services in the Integrated Marketplace
must be submitted to the Transmission Provider prior to the expected date of participation
consistent with Section 6.4 of the Market Protocols. Applications must conform to the
procedures specified in the Market Protocols and may be rejected if not complete. New
Market Participants will follow the timeframe as specified in Section 6.4 of the Market
Protocols in addition to the detailed model update timing requirements in Appendix E of
the Market Protocols.
(2) As part of the application process, Market Participants must register all Resources and
load, including applicable load associated with Grandfathered Agreements (“GFAs”),
Non-Conforming Load and Demand Response Load with the Transmission Provider in
accordance with the registration process specified in the Market Protocols. As part of
Resource registration, Market Participants must specify whether settlement meter data
will be submitted on a gross basis or net basis, where gross meter data does not include
reductions for auxiliary load and net meter data is gross meter data reduced by auxiliary
load. Both Non-Conforming Load and Demand Response Load may only be associated
with a single Price Node except that Non-Conforming Load and Demand Response Load
may be associated with an aggregated Price Node that contains multiple electrically
equivalent Price Nodes. Non-participating embedded load and/or generation must either:
(i) register its load and/or generation in the Integrated Marketplace; or (ii) transfer its load
and/or generation to an external Balancing Authority.
Page 13 of 19
(3) Market Participants may elect to define a single Settlement Location that aggregates
multiple Meter Data Submittal Locations associated with their load assets. Market
Participants may not aggregate multiple Resource Meter Data Submittal Locations into a
single Resource Settlement Location unless the Resources are at the same physical and
electrically equivalent injection point to the Transmission System.
(4) In addition to the responsibilities described in Section 4.1.2 of this Attachment AE and
under the Market Protocols, Market Participants wishing to model each participant’s
share of a Jointly Owned Unit as a separate Resource must choose one of the two options
described below and provide the specified additional information. A Resource registered
as a combined cycle Resource may not register as a Jointly Owned Unit.
(a) Individual Resource Option
Under the individual Resource option, each participant’s share is modeled
as a separate Resource for the purposes of commitment and dispatch and each
Resource may be committed independent of the other Resource shares. In order
to qualify for this option, each Market Participant must register its share and
certify that it is greater than or equal to the minimum physical capacity operating
limit of the physical Jointly Owned Unit.
The operating owner’s Meter Agent will be the Meter Agent for that
Jointly Owned Unit unless each individual Jointly Owned Unit participant
registers a Meter Agent for its share of the Resource.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Jointly Owned Unit participants, the
operating owner will be responsible for submitting the following data:
• Jointly Owned Unit maximum physical capacity operating limit;
• Jointly Owned Unit minimum physical capacity operating limit; and • Maximum physical ten (10) minute response from an off-line state.
(b) Combined Resource Option
Under the combined Resource option each participant’s share is modeled
and must be registered as a separate Resource. Under this option, the
commitment decision is made assuming that all Resource shares must be
committed or none at all. Each Asset Owner of a Jointly Owned Unit share
Resource under the combined Resource option must submit a zero for the
Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limit, Minimum Normal Capacity
Operating Limit, and Minimum Economic Capacity Operating Limit. The Jointly
Page 14 of 19
Owned Unit minimum physical capacity operating limit can be achieved by any
combination of Jointly Owned Unit share Resource(s) during the commitment
period. A Jointly Owned Unit under the combined Resource option will be
dispatched using an aggregated Energy Offer Curve. Once committed, each
Jointly Owned Unit share is dispatched independently and is eligible for recovery
of Start-Up Offer and No-Load Offer costs as described under Sections 8.5.9 and
8.6.5 of this Attachment AE. This option must be selected if the eligibility
criteria stated under the individual Resource option cannot be met.
The operating owner’s Meter Agent will be the Meter Agent for that
Jointly Owned Unit unless each individual Jointly Owned Unit participant
registers a Meter Agent for its share of the Resource.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Jointly Owned Unit participants, the
operating owner will be responsible for submitting the following data:
• Jointly Owned Unit maximum physical capacity operating limit;
• Jointly Owned Unit minimum physical capacity operating limit;
• Maximum physical ten (10) minute response from an off-line state;
and
• Participant share percentage by Market Participant.
(5) Market Participants may modify their registered assets in accordance with the asset
registration procedures specified in the Market Protocols.
(6) All loads and all Resources, excluding Behind-The-Meter Generation less than 10
Megawatts (“MWs”), must register. Failure or refusal to register a Resource will result in
the Transmission Provider filing an unexecuted version of the service agreement as
specified in Attachment AH of this Tariff for that Resource with the Commission under
the name of the generation interconnection customer under an interconnection agreement
with the Transmission Provider or the applicable Transmission Owner. In the case of a
Qualifying Facility exercising its rights under PURPA to deliver all of its net output to its
host utility, such registration will not require the Qualifying Facility to participate in the
Energy and Operating Reserve Markets or subject the Qualifying Facility to any charges
or payments related to the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets. Any Energy and
Operating Reserve Market charges or payments associated with the output of the
Qualifying Facility will be allocated to the Market Participant representing the host utility
Page 15 of 19
purchasing the output of the Qualifying Facility under PURPA, and the Market
Participant will be provided the settlement data required to verify the settlement charges
and payments.
(7) A Market Participant wishing to Offer an External Resource in the Energy and Operating
Reserve Markets will utilize an External Resource Pseudo-Tie in accordance with
Attachment AO. In addition to the responsibilities outlined in Attachment AO, the
Market Participant registering the External Resource will be responsible for registering
and performing all responsibilities that are required of Resources in the Energy and
Operating Reserve Markets.
(8) A Market Participant wishing to offer Demand Response Load as a Demand Response
Resource in the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets must include in its application
and registration a certification that participation in the Energy and Operating Reserve
Markets by its Demand Response Resource is not precluded under the laws or regulations
of the relevant electric retail regulatory authority. Consistent with Section 2.8.1 of this
Attachment, an aggregator of retail customers wishing to offer Demand Response Load
in the form of a Demand Response Resource on behalf of one or more retail customers
must also include in its application and registration a certification that participation of
each retail customer is either: (1) not precluded by the laws or regulations of the relevant
electric retail regulatory authority if the customer is served by a utility that distributed
more than 4 million MWh in the previous fiscal year; or (2) affirmatively permitted by
the laws or regulations of the relevant electric retail regulatory authority if the customer is
served by a utility that distributed 4 million MWh or less in the previous fiscal year.
Demand Response Resources must meet all application, registration and technical
requirements applicable to the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets. The
Transmission Provider is not responsible for interpreting the laws or regulations of a
relevant electric retail regulatory authority and shall be required only to verify that the
Market Participant has included such a certification in its application materials. The
Transmission Provider is not liable or responsible for Market Participants participating in
the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets in violation of any law or regulation of a
relevant electric retail regulatory authority including state-approved retail tariff(s).
(9) An aggregator of retail or wholesale customers offering Demand Response Load of one
or more end-use retail customers or wholesale customers as a Demand Response
Resource in the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets must be a Market Participant,
Page 16 of 19
satisfying all registration and certification requirements applicable to Market Participants
as well as certification consistent with Section 2.8 of this Attachment, as required.
(10) A wind-powered Variable Energy Resource with (1) an interconnection agreement
executed after May 21, 2011 or (2) an interconnection agreement executed on or prior to
May 21, 2011 and that commenced Commercial Operation on or after October 15, 2012
must register as a Dispatchable Variable Energy Resource. A wind-powered Variable
Energy Resource with an interconnection agreement executed on or prior to May 21, 2011
may register as a Dispatchable Variable Energy Resource if it is capable of being
incrementally dispatched by the Transmission Provider. Variable Energy Resources with
fuel sources other than wind may optionally register as a Dispatchable Variable Energy
Resource. Otherwise, Variable Energy Resources must register as Non-Dispatchable
Variable Energy Resources. A Qualifying Facility exercising its rights under PURPA to
deliver its net output to its host utility may register as a Non-Dispatchable Variable Energy
Resource or a Dispatchable Variable Energy Resource as described in the Market
Protocols. Any Resource that has previously registered as a Dispatchable Variable Energy
Resource shall not subsequently register as a Non-Dispatchable Variable Energy Resource.
(11) A Market Participant that is selling firm power to the load asset under a bilateral contract
may, with the agreement of the buyer, register all or a portion of the buyer’s load as its
load asset. For purposes of this Section 2.2(11) of this Attachment AE, the sale of firm
power shall refer to power sales deliverable with firm transmission service, with the
supplier assuming the obligation to serve the buyer’s load with both capacity and energy.
For the purposes of Section 2.11.1 of this Attachment AE, such registration of the buyer’s
load by the seller shall be accounted for by including such load in the seller’s Reported
Load and not including such load in the buyer’s Reported Load, as described under
Section 2.11.1(A)(1) of this Attachment AE, and such associated bilateral contracts shall
not be included in either the buyer’s or seller’s net resource capacity described under
Section 2.11.1(A)(4) of this Attachment AE.
(12) A Transmission Owner providing firm transmission service under a GFA eligible for GFA
Carve Out must request removal of congestion and marginal loss charges and designate the
GFA Responsible Entity within the timeframe set forth in Section 2.2 (1) of Attachment
AE.
Page 17 of 19
(13) A GFA Responsible Entity shall provide to the Transmission Provider the information
necessary to administer the GFA Carve Out. The required information shall include the
following:
(a) Resource Settlement Location;
(b) Load Settlement Location;
(c) The maximum MW capacity contracted under the GFA Carve Out;
(d) The identification of the GFA in Attachment W; and
(e) Any other information reasonably required by the Transmission Provider.
(14) Market Participants with assets interconnected to the Transmission System that are not
participating in the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets must pseudo-tie the Resource
or load out of the SPP Balancing Authority Area in accordance with Attachment AO.
Such assets shall continue to be registered in the Integrated Marketplace for the purposes
of accounting for congestion and loss charges between the Resource Price Node and the
applicable External Interface Settlement Location as described under Sections 8.6.19 and
8.6.20 of this Attachment AE.
(a) To the extent that the SPP Balancing Authority or associated external Balancing
Authority can no longer maintain the Resource pseudo-tie for reliability reasons,
the Market Participant representing the pseudo-tied Resource must immediately
reduce the output of the pseudo-tied resource to the available pseudo-tie
capability after receiving notification from the affected Balancing Authority of the
reduced capability. A Market Participant shall not generate any energy in excess
of the available pseudo-tie capability after receiving such notification and shall
not be compensated in the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets settlement for
any energy generated in excess of the available pseudo-tie capability.
(15) Western-UGP shall provide to the Transmission Provider the information necessary to
administer the FSE. The required information shall include the following:
(a) Resource Settlement Locations;
(b) Load Settlement Locations;
(c) The maximum MW capacity contracted under the FSE;
(d) The identification of the FSE Statutory Load Obligations as described in the SPP-
Western-UGP NITSA; and
Page 18 of 19
(e) Any other information reasonably required by the Transmission Provider.
(16) The Transmission Provider shall establish FSE Transfer Points consistent with the FSE
transmission service power flow impacts.
4.1.2.3 Jointly Owned Unit
Each Market Participant may submit Resource Offers for its share of the Jointly
Owned Unit as specified in the Market Protocols. Offer parameters must meet the
following criteria in order to be accepted as valid Offers, otherwise the last submitted valid
offer shall apply:
(1) The sum of the Maximum Emergency Capacity Operating Limits of all shares of
the Jointly Owned Unit must be less than or equal to the Jointly Owned Unit
maximum physical capacity operating limit; and
(2) The sum of the Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limits of all shares of
the Jointly Owned Unit must be greater than or equal to the Jointly Owned Unit
minimum physical capacity operating limit.
Commitment of individual Jointly Owned Unit shares that have registered under the
individual Resource option will be evaluated by security constrained unit commitment
(“SCUC”) based on the individually submitted Offers for each Jointly Owned Unit share.
Commitment of Jointly Owned Unit shares that have registered under the combined
Resource option will be evaluated by SCUC based on a combination of the individually
submitted Offers for each Jointly Owned Unit share and the commitment related Offer
parameters submitted by the designated Market Participant that apply to the entire Jointly
Owned Unit given the additional constraint that if one of the Jointly Owned Units is
committed, all Resource shares for each Jointly Owned Unit must be committed. This rule
also applies to clearing of Supplemental Reserve from off-line Quick-Start Resources.
Each Market Participant of a Jointly Owned Unit share under the combined Resource
option must submit a zero for Minimum Emergency Capacity Operating Limit, Minimum
Normal Capacity Operating Limit, and Minimum Economic Capacity Operating Limit. A
Jointly Owned Unit under the combined Resource option will be dispatched using an
aggregated Energy Offer Curve. When committed, each Jointly Owned Unit share is
eligible for recovery of Start-Up Offer and No-Load Offer costs as described under
Sections 8.5.9 and 8.6.5 of this Attachment AE.

Market Protocols
4.5.8.12 Day-Ahead Make-Whole-Payment Amount
(1) The Day-Ahead Make-Whole-Payment Amount is a credit or charge1 to a Resource Asset Owner
and is calculated for each Resource with an associated DA Market Commitment Period that was
committed by SPP with a Day-Ahead Market Resource Offer Commitment Status of “Market” or
“Reliability” as defined under Section Error! Reference source not found., or was committed as
part of the Multi-Day Reliability Assessment as defined under Section Error! Reference source not found.. A payment is made to the Resource Asset Owner when the sum of the Resource’s DA
Market Start-Up Offer costs, No-Load Offer costs, Transition State Offer costs, Energy Offer
Curve and Operating Reserve Offer costs associated with cleared DA Market amounts for Energy
and Operating Reserve is greater than the Energy and Operating Reserve DA Market revenues
received for that Resource over the Resource’s DA Market Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility
Period.
(2) A Resource’s DA Market Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility Period is equal to a Resource’s DA
Market Commitment Period except as defined below:
(a) For Resources with an associated DA Market Commitment Period that begins in one
Operating Day and ends in the next Operating Day, two DA Market Make-Whole-Payment
Eligibility Periods are created. The first period begins in the first Operating Day in the
hour that the DA Market Commitment Period begins and ends in the last hour of the first
Operating Day. The second period begins in the first hour of the next Operating Day and
ends in the last hour of the DA Market Commitment Period.
1 Note that this charge type will almost always produce a credit. The charge is included here for the rare occasion when a charge may be produced as a result of a data error and/or a resettlement.

Page 4 of 16
(3) The following cost recovery eligible rules apply to each DA Market Make-Whole-Payment
Eligibility Period. Offer costs are calculated using the DA Market Offer prices in effect at the
time the commitment decision was made except under the situation described under Section
(b)(i)(1) below.
(a) There may be more than one DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for a
Resource in a single Operating Day for which a credit or charge is calculated. A single
DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period is contained within a single Operating
Day.
(b) A Resource’s DA Market Start-Up Offer costs are not eligible for recovery in the following
DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Periods except as described in (i)(1) and
(i)(2) below:
(i) Any DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for which the Day-Ahead
Market SCUC did not consider the Resource’s Start-Up Offer in the commitment
decision unless the Start-Up Offers are associated with manual commitments as
described under Sections 4.2.6.2 and 4.3.1.2(1)(b); or
(i)(ii) aAny Day-Ahead Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period that is adjacent to the
end of a RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period; or that was created
subsequent to the Day-Ahead Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period
during the day before the Operating Day for which the Day-Ahead Market Make-
Whole Payment Eligibility Period applies;
(1) As described under Section 4.5.9.8(3)(h), to the extent that the full amount
of the RTBM Start-Up Offer is not accounted for in the adjacent RUC
Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period, any remaining RTBM Start-Up
Offer costs are carried forward for recovery in the adjacent Day-Ahead
Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period.
Start-Up Offers associated with manual commitments as described under
Sections 4.2.6.2 and 4.3.1.2(1)(b) are eligible for recovery.
(ii)(iii) Any DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period resulting from a DA
Market Commitment Period that contains a DA Market Self-Commit Hour; and or
(iii)(iv) Any DA Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for which a Resource is a
Synchronized Resource prior to this commitment period at a time one hour prior to
that Resource’s DA Market Commit Time less the Resource’s Sync-To-Min Time
unless such time is within a contiguous RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility
Period that is created subsequent to the DA Market Make-Whole-Payment
Eligibility Period.

(c) As described under Section 4.5.9.8 (3)(h), to the extent that the full amount of the eligible
RTBM Start-Up cost is not accounted for in the adjacent RUC Make-Whole Payment
Eligibility Period, any remaining RTBM Start-Up cost is carried forward for recovery in
the adjacent Day-Ahead Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period.
(c)(d) For each DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period within an Operating
Day, a Resource’s DA Market Start-Up Offer is divided by the lesser of (1) the Resource’s
Minimum Run Time rounded down to the nearest hour or (2) 24 Hours, and that portion of
the Start-Up Offer is included as a cost in each hour of the DA Market Make-Whole
Payment Eligibility Period until the sum of these hourly costs are equal to the DA Market
Start-Up Offer or until the end of the DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period,
whichever occurs first.
(d)(e) To the extent that the full amount of the DA Market Start-Up Offer is not accounted
for in the last DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period in the Operating Day,
any remaining DA Market Start-Up Offer costs are carried forward for recovery in the first
DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period of the following Operating Day. For
example, consider a Resource that is committed starting at 10:00 PM in Operating Day 1
that has a Minimum Run Time of 10 hours and a Start-Up Offer of $10,000. The DA
Market Commitment Period is from 10:00 PM in Operating Day 1 through 8:00 AM of
Operating Day 2. For DA Market Make-Whole Payment calculation purposes, the DA
Market Commitment Period is split into two separate DA Market Make-Whole Payment
Eligibility Periods as described in (2).b above. The first DA Market Make-Whole Payment
Eligibility Period will include $1000/hour of Start-Up Offer costs ($10,000 / 10 Hours) in
hours 23 and 24. The second DA Market Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period will
include $1000/hour of Start-Up Offer costs in hours 1 through 8.
(e)(f) If the Resource is a combined cycle Resource, additional costs associated with situations
in which the Resource has cleared Operating Reserve in the Day-Ahead Market and must
buy back that position in Real-Time at an average Real-Time MCP that is greater than the
Day-Ahead MCP, the Market Participant may be eligible for a make-whole payment. To
be eligible, these costs must be incurred during a time period in which the Resource is
transitioning between configurations, at the direction of SPP, such cost is not due to any
independent action of the Market Participant and such cost is not incurred during a RUC
Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period. In such cases, the additional costs are equal to
the difference between the Real-Time MCP and the Day-Ahead MCP multiplied by the
Day-Ahead Market cleared Operating Reserve MW amounts. Recovery of these costs is
limited to the time period defined as the Transition State Time submitted in the Resource
Offer.

4.5.9.8 RUC Make-Whole-Payment Amount
(1) The RUC Make-Whole-Payment Amount is a credit or charge2 to a Resource Asset Owner and is
calculated for each Resource with a RUC Commitment Period that was committed by SPP with an
RTBM Resource Offer Commitment Status of “Market” or “Reliability” as defined under Section
Error! Reference source not found.. Asset Owners of Resources committed by a local transmission
operator to address a Local Emergency Condition are eligible to receive a RUC make whole payment,
except that, if the Market Monitor determines such Resources were selected in a discriminatory
manner by the local transmission operator, as determined pursuant to Section 6.1.2.1 of Attachment
AE to the Tariff, and such Resources were affiliated with the local transmission operator, then such
Resources are not eligible to receive a RUC make whole payment. For such eligible local transmission
operator commitments, a manual process is employed for the calculations and the make-whole-
payments will appear in the Miscellaneous Amount charge type defined in Section Error! Reference source not found.. The RUC Make-Whole-Payment Amount is also calculated for combined cycle
Resources with a RUC Commitment Period during which the Resource is moved into a configuration
that incurs additional costs over the Resource configuration used in the DA Market Commitment
Period for the corresponding time period. A payment is made to the Resource Asset Owner when the
sum of the Resource’s eligible RTBM Start-Up Offer costs, No-Load Offer costs, Energy Offer Curve,
Transition State Offer costs and Operating Reserve Offer costs associated with actual MWh amounts
for Energy and cleared RTBM Operating Reserve is greater than the Energy and Operating Reserve
RTBM revenues received for that Resource over the Resource’s RUC Make-Whole-Payment
Eligibility Period. Recovery of such compensation shall be collected in accordance with Section 8.6.7
of Attachment AE.
(2) A Resource’s RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility Period is equal to the Resource’s RUC
Commitment Period except as described below:
(a) As shown in Exhibit 4-25, for Resources with a RUC Commitment Period that begins in one
Operating Day and ends in the next Operating Day, two RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility
Periods are created. The first period begins in the first Operating Day in the Dispatch Interval
associated with the Resource’s RUC Commit Time and ends at the last Dispatch Interval of the
first Operating Day. The second period begins in the first Dispatch Interval of the next Operating
Day and ends in the Dispatch Interval associated with the Resource’s RUC De-Commit Time.
Exhibit Error! No text of specified style in document.-1: RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period – Multiple Operating Days

(b) If the Resource is a combined cycle Resource committed in the DA Market and then, during an
RTBM hour within the DA Market Commitment Period, the Resource is moved into a
configuration that is different from the configuration used in the DA Market Commitment period
and such configuration incurs a Transition State Offer cost and/or a No-Load Offer cost that is
higher than the No-Load Offer cost associated with the configuration used in the DA Market, that
RTBM hour will be considered the start of a RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility Period. The
end of this RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility Period will be defined by the RTBM hour when
the configuration in that RTBM hour is the same configuration as the configuration used in the
corresponding DA Market Commitment Period hour, the Resource’s De-Commit Time or the end
of the Operating Day, whichever is less.
(3) The following cost recovery eligible rules apply to each RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility
Period. Resource production costs are calculated using the RTBM Offer prices in effect at the time
the commitment decision was made for start-up, no-load, and minimum-energy; and the RTBM Offer
prices in effect at the solving of a dispatch interval for incremental energy, Regulation-Up, Regulation-
Down, Spin, and Supplement Reserves.
(a) If SPP cancels a start-up order prior to the start of the associated RUC Make-Whole-Payment
Eligibility Period and the Resource is not a Synchronized Resource, the Asset Owner will receive
reimbursement for a time-based pro-rata share of the Resource’s RTBM Start-Up Offer. Asset
Owners may request additional compensation through submittal of actual cost documentation to
the SPP. SPP will review the submitted documentation and confirm that the submitted information
is sufficient to document actual costs and that all or a portion of the actual costs are eligible for
recovery.
(b) In order to receive Start-Up Offer recovery within a RUC Make-Whole-Payment Eligibility
Period, the Resource must be a Synchronized Resource for at least one Dispatch Interval in the
RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period.

Interval.
(d) There may be more than one RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for a Resource in a
single Operating Day for which a credit or charge is calculated. A single RUC Make-Whole
Payment Eligibility Period is contained within a single Operating Day.
(e) When a RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period is created after a Day-Ahead Make-Whole
Payment Eligibility Period which is adjacent and preceding the Day-Ahead Make-Whole Payment
Eligibility Period in which the Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer was considered, the eligible Day-Ahead
Start-Up Offer is used in place of the RUC Start-Up Offer costs.
(e)(f) A Resource’s RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period RTBM Start-Up Offer costs
are not eligible for recovery in the following RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Periods:
(i) Any RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for which the RUC SCUC did not
consider the Resource’s Start-Up Offer in the commitment decision except that RTBM
Start-Up Offers associated with manual commitments as described under Sections
4.3.2.2(3)(c), 4.3.2.2(3)(d), 4.4.1.2(3)(c) and 4.4.1.2(3)(d) are eligible for recovery; or
when the subsequent RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period is contiguous and
preceding a Day-Ahead Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period where the Day-Ahead
Start-Up Offer was consider in which case the Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer is used ;
(i)(ii) Any RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period for which a Resource is a Synchronized
Resource prior to this commitment period at a time one hour prior to that Resource’s RUC
Commit Time less the Resource’s Sync-To-Min Time; andor
(ii)(iii) Any RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period resulting from a RUC
Commitment Period that contains an hour for which the Resource Commitment Status is
Self-Commit.
(f)(g) For each RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period within an Operating Day, a
Resource’s RTBM Start-Up Offer is divided by the lesser of (1) the Resource’s Minimum Run
Time multiplied by 12 rounded down to the nearest whole interval or (2) 24 Hours multiplied by
12, and that portion of the Start-Up Offer is included as a cost in each interval of the RUC Make-
Whole Payment Eligibility Period until the sum of these interval costs are equal to the RTBM
Start-Up Offer or until the end of the RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period, whichever
occurs first.
(g)(h) To the extent that the full amount of the RTBM Start-Up Offer is not accounted for in the
last RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period in the Operating Day, any remaining RTBM
Start-Up Offer costs are carried forward for recovery in the first RUC Make-Whole Payment
Eligibility Period of the following Operating Day provided that the Resource has not been

committed in the DA Market in any hour of the first RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period
as described in (h) below. For example, consider a Resource that is committed starting at 10:00
PM in Operating Day 1 that has a Minimum Run Time of 10 hours and a Start-Up Offer of $12,000.
The RUC Commitment Period is from 10:00 PM in Operating Day 1 through 8:00 AM of
Operating Day 2. For RUC Make-Whole Payment calculation purposes, the RUC Commitment
Period is split into two separate RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Periods as described in
(2).a above. The first RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period will include $100/interval of
Start-Up Offer costs ($12,000 / 120 intervals) in hour 23 and 24 intervals. The second RUC Make-
Whole Payment Eligibility Period will include $100/interval of Start-Up Offer costs in hours 1
through 8 intervals.
(h)(i) If the Resource has been committed in the DA Market in a period adjacent to and following
a RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period to the extent that the full amount of the RTBM
Start-Up Offer is not accounted for in the RUC Make-Whole Payment Eligibility Period, any
remaining RTBM Start-Up Offer costs are carried forward for recovery in the Day-Ahead Make-
Whole Payment Eligibility Period.
(i)(j) If the Resource is a combined cycle Resource, additional costs associated with situations
in which the Resource has cleared Operating Reserve in the Day-Ahead Market and must buy back
that position in Real-Time at a Real-Time MCP that is greater than the Day-Ahead MCP, the
Market Participant may be eligible for a make-whole payment. To be eligible, these costs must be
incurred during a time period in which the Resource is transitioning between configurations, at the
direction of SPP, and such cost is not due to any independent action of the Market Participant. In
such cases, the additional costs are equal to the difference between the average Real-Time MCP
and the Day-Ahead MCP multiplied by the Day-Ahead Market cleared Operating Reserve MW
amounts. Recovery of these costs associated with Contingency Reserve is limited to the time
period defined as the Transition State Time submitted in the Resource Offer. Recovery of these
costs associated with Regulation-Up and/or Regulation-Down is limited to all Dispatch Intervals
within the transition hour.

8.5.9 Day-Ahead Make Whole Payment Amount
Commented [MPRR101.13]: MPRR101 awaiting FERC filing
Page 11 of 16
(1) The Day-Ahead make whole payment amount is a payment to an Asset Owner and is
calculated for each Resource with an associated Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period
that was committed by the Transmission Provider with a Day-Ahead Market Resource
Offer commitment status as defined under Sections 4.1(10)(b) and (c) of this Attachment
AE, or was committed as part of the Multi-Day Reliability Assessment as defined under
Section 4.5.3 of this Attachment AE. A payment is made to the Asset Owner when the
sum of the Resource’s costs is greater than the Day-Ahead Market revenues received for
that Resource over the Resource’s Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility
period. The make whole payment is equal to this difference between these costs and
revenues.
(2) A Resource’s Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period is equal to a
Resource’s Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period except as defined herein. For
Resources with an associated Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period that begins in one
Operating Day and ends in the next Operating Day, two (2) Day-Ahead Market make whole
payment eligibility periods are created. The first period begins in the first Operating Day
in the hour that the Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period begins and ends in the last
hour of the first Operating Day. The second period begins in the first hour of the next
Operating Day and ends in the last hour of the Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period.
(3) The following cost recovery rules apply to each Day-Ahead Market make whole payment
eligibility period. Offer costs are calculated using the Day-Ahead Market Offer prices in
effect at the time the commitment decision was made except under the situation described
under Section (b)(i) below.
(a) There may be more than one Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility
period for a Resource in a single Operating Day for which a charge or payment is
calculated. A single Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period is
contained within a single Operating Day.
(b) A Resource’s Day-Ahead Market Start-Up Offer costs are not eligible for recovery
in the following Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility periods except
Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer costs described under Section 8.6.5(3)(hi) of this
Attachment AE and Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer costs associated with
commitments made under Sections 4.5 and 5.1.2(1)(b) of this Attachment AE:
Page 12 of 16
(i) For any Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period for
which the Day-Ahead Market SCUC algorithm did not consider the
Resource’s Start-Up Offer in the commitment decision; or
(ii) For any Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period that is
adjacent to the end of a RUC make whole payment eligibility period that
was created subsequent to the Day-Ahead Market make whole
payment eligibility period during the day prior to the Operating Day to
which the Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period
applies; where RUC make-whole payment eligibility period is as
defined under Section 8.6.5(2) of this Attachment AEexcept as
described under Section 8.6.5(3)(h); or
(iii) For any Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period
resulting from a Day-Ahead Market Commitment Period that contains a
Day-Ahead Market self-commit hour; or
(iiiiv) For any Day-Ahead make whole payment eligibility period for which a
Resource is a Synchronized Resource prior to this commitment period at a
time one (1) hour prior to that Resource’s Day-Ahead Market Commit Time
less the Resource’s Sync-To-Min Time unless such time is within a
contiguous RUC make-whole payment eligibility period that was
created subsequent to the Day-Ahead make whole payment eligibility
period; where RUC make-whole payment eligibility period is as defined
under Section 8.6.5(2) of this Attachment AE.
(c) For each Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period within an
Operating Day, a Resource’s Day-Ahead Market Start-Up Offer is divided by the
lesser of (1) the Resource’s Minimum Run Time rounded down to the nearest hour
or (2) twenty-four (24) hours, and that portion of the Start-Up Offer is included as
a cost in each hour of the Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period
until the sum of these hourly costs are equal to the Day-Ahead Market Start-Up
Offer or until the end of the Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility
period, whichever occurs first.
(d) To the extent that the full amount of the Day-Ahead Market Start-Up Offer is not
accounted for in the last Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period
in the Operating Day, any remaining Day-Ahead Market Start-Up Offer costs are
Page 13 of 16
carried forward for recovery in the first Day-Ahead Market make whole payment
eligibility period of the following Operating Day.
… 8.6.5 Reliability Unit Commitment Make Whole Payment Amount
(1) Asset Owners of Resources committed by the Transmission Provider with an RTBM
Resource Offer commitment status as defined under Sections 4.1(10)(b) and (c) of this
Attachment AE, are eligible to receive a RUC make whole payment. Asset Owners of
Resources committed by a local transmission operator to address a Local Emergency
Condition are eligible to receive a RUC make whole payment, except that, if the Market
Monitor determines such Resources were selected in a discriminatory manner by the local
transmission operator, as determined pursuant to Section 6.1.2.1 of this Attachment AE,
and such Resources were affiliated with the local transmission operator, then such
Resources are not eligible to receive a RUC make whole payment. A RUC make whole
payment is made to the Asset Owner when the sum of a Resource’s eligible RTBM Start-
Up Offer costs, No-Load Offer costs, Energy Offer Curve and Operating Reserve Offer
costs associated with actual Energy and cleared RTBM Operating Reserve is greater than
the Energy and Operating Reserve RTBM revenues received over the Resource’s RUC
make whole payment eligibility period. Recovery of such compensation shall be collected
in accordance with Section 8.6.7 of this Attachment AE.
(2) A Resource’s RUC make whole payment eligibility period is equal to that Resource’s RUC
Commitment Period. For Resources with a RUC Commitment Period that begins in one
Operating Day and ends in the next Operating Day, two RUC make whole payment
eligibility periods are created. The first period begins in the first Operating Day in the
Dispatch Interval associated with the Resource’s RUC Commit Time and ends at the last
Dispatch Interval of the first Operating Day. The second period begins in the first Dispatch
Interval of the next Operating Day and ends in the Dispatch Interval associated with the
Resource’s RUC De-Commit Time.
(3) The following cost recovery rules apply to each RUC make whole payment eligibility
period. Resource production costs are calculated using the RTBM Offer prices in effect at
the time the commitment decision was made for start-up, no-load, and minimum-energy;
and the RTBM Offer price in effect at the solving of a dispatch interval for the Energy
Page 14 of 16
above minimum energy, Regulation-Up, Regulation-Down, Spinning Reserve, and
Supplemental Reserve.
(a) If the Transmission Provider cancels a Commitment Instruction prior to the start of
the associated RUC make whole payment eligibility period, the Asset Owner will
receive reimbursement for a time-based pro-rata share of the Resource’s RTBM
Start-Up Offer unless precluded by Section 8.6.5(3)(e) of this Attachment AE.
Asset Owners may request additional compensation through submittal of actual
cost documentation to the Transmission Provider. The Transmission Provider will
review the submitted documentation and confirm that the submitted information is
sufficient to document actual costs and that all or a portion of the actual costs are
eligible for recovery.
(b) In order to receive the full amount of Start-Up Offer recovery within a RUC make
whole payment eligibility period, the Resource must be a Synchronized Resource
in at least one Dispatch Interval in the RUC make whole payment eligibility period.
(c) In order to receive recovery of No-Load Offer costs in any Dispatch Interval in the
RUC make whole payment eligibility period, the Resource must be a Synchronized
Resource in that Dispatch Interval.
(d) There may be more than one RUC make whole payment eligibility period for a
Resource in a single Operating Day. A single RUC make whole payment eligibility
period is contained within a single Operating Day.
(e) When a RUC make whole payment eligibility period is created after a Day-Ahead
make-whole payment eligibility period which is adjacent and preceding a Day-
Ahead make whole payment eligibility period where the Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer
was considered, the eligible Day-Ahead Start-up Offer is used in place of the RUC
Start-up costs:
(ef) A Resource’s RTBM Start-Up Offer costs are not eligible for recovery in the
following RUC make whole payment eligibility periods:
(i) Any RUC make whole payment eligibility period for which the RUC
SCUC did not consider the Resource’s Start-Up Offer in the
commitment decision except that RTBM Start-Up Offer costs
associated with commitments made under Sections 5.2.2(3), 5.2.2(4),
6.1.2(3) and 6.1.2(4) of Attachment AE shall be eligible for recovery; or
when the subsequent RUC make whole payment eligibility period is
Page 15 of 16
contiguous and preceding a Day-Ahead make whole payment eligibility
period where the Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer was considered, in which
case the Day-Ahead Start-Up Offer is usedthat is adjacent to the end of
a Day-Ahead Market make whole payment eligibility period;
(ii) Any RUC make whole payment eligibility period for which a Resource is a
Synchronized Resource prior to this commitment period at a time one (1)
hour prior to that Resource’s RUC Commit Time less the Resource’s Sync-
To-Min Time; andor
(iii) Any RUC make whole payment eligibility period resulting from a RUC
Commitment Period that contains an hour for which the Resource was self-
committed.
(fg) For each RUC make whole payment eligibility period within an Operating Day, a
Resource’s RTBM Start-Up Offer is divided by the lesser of (1) the Resource’s
Minimum Run Time multiplied by twelve (12), rounded down to the nearest whole
interval, or (2) twenty-four (24) hours multiplied by twelve (12), and that portion
of the Start-Up Offer is included as a cost in each interval of the RUC make whole
payment eligibility period until the sum of these interval costs are equal to the
RTBM Start-Up Offer or until the end of the RUC make whole payment eligibility
period, whichever occurs first. If the Transmission Provider cancels a start-up order
prior to the start of the associated RUC make whole payment eligibility period, all
of the eligible pro rata share of the Resource’s RTBM Start-Up Offer is allocated
into the first interval of the RUC make whole payment eligibility period.
(gh) To the extent that the full amount of the RTBM Start-Up Offer is not accounted for
in the last RUC make whole payment eligibility period in the Operating Day, any
remaining RTBM Start-Up Offer costs are carried forward for recovery in the first
RUC make whole payment eligibility period of the following Operating Day
provided that the Resource has not been committed in the Day-Ahead Market in
any hour of the first RUC make whole payment eligibility period as described in
(h) below.
(hi) If the Resource has been committed in the Day-Ahead Market in a period adjacent
to and following a RUC make whole payment eligibility period to the extent that
the full amount of the RTBM Start-Up Offer is not accounted for in the RUC make
whole payment eligibility period, any remaining RTBM Start-Up Offer costs are
Page 16 of 16
carried forward for recovery in the Day-Ahead make whole payment eligibility
period.
(ij) If a Resource has operated outside of its Operating Tolerance in any Dispatch
Interval, any cost associated with energy output above the Resource’s economic
operating point is not eligible for recovery for that Dispatch Interval where such
cost is calculated as described under Subsection 4(c) below.
(jk) If a Resource becomes non-dispatchable in any Dispatch Interval, any cost
associated with energy output above the Resource’s economic operating point is
not eligible for recovery for that Dispatch Interval where such cost is calculated as
described under Subsection 4(c) below.
(kl) If a Resource’s minimum operating limit is increased above the Resource’s
minimum operating limit that was used to make the commitment decision, the
increase is greater than the Resource’s Operating Tolerance and the Resource
remains dispatchable in any Dispatch Interval, any cost associated with energy
output above the Resource’s economic operating point is not eligible for recovery
for that Dispatch Interval where such cost is calculated as described under
Subsection 4(c) below.

4.5.9.9 Real-Time Out-Of-Merit Amount
(1) An RTBM credit or charge1 will be made to each Market Participant with a Resource that passes a primary
Contingency Reserve deployment test as described under Section 6.1.11.1(3)(b)(i) and/or otherwise receives
a Manual Dispatch Instruction from SPP or a local transmission operator that creates a cost to the Asset Owner
or that adversely impacts the Asset Owner’s DA Market position and/or if a Market Participant must buy back
its DA Market position for any Operating Reserve product at a RTBM MCP that is greater than that product’s
DA Market MCP. Resources issued Manual Dispatch Instructions by or at the request of a local transmission
operator in order to solve a Local Emergency Condition or a Local Reliability Issue are eligible for out-of-
merit credits as defined in this Section unless selection of the Resource by the local transmission operator was
performed in a discriminatory manner as determined by the MMU and the Resource was an affiliated
Resource; however, a manual process is employed for the calculation of the out-of-merit credits and they will
appear in the Miscellaneous Amount charge type defined in Section 4.5.11. The cost allocation of out-of-
merit credits associated with Manual Dispatch Instructions issued by or at the request of a local transmission
operator will be determined hourly by multiplying an Asset Owner’s RTBM actual load in the impacted
Settlement Area by a rate determined by dividing the daily sum of all out-of-merit credits applicable to the
impacted Settlement Area by the daily sum of all Asset Owners’ RTBM actual load in the impacted Settlement
Area. A manual process is also employed for these calculations and the charges will appear in the
Miscellaneous Amount charge type defined in Section 4.5.11. Out-of-merit credits associated with Manual
Dispatch Instructions issued directly by SPP to address a reliability issue other than a Local Reliability Issue
will be recovered under Section 4.5.12. The amount will be calculated on a Dispatch Interval basis under the
following conditions:
(a) If the Manual Dispatch Instruction is for Energy in the up direction and the Energy Offer Curve
cost associated with the Out-Of-Merit-Energy (OOME) MW is greater than the RTBM LMP, the
Asset Owner will receive a credit equal to the difference multiplied by the OOME MW. The
OOME MW is calculated as Max (0, or the difference between (i) (lesser of the the absolute value
of the actual Resource output or the Resource’s Manual Dispatch Instruction MW) and (ii) the
Resource’s Desired Dispatch);
(b) If the Manual Dispatch Instruction is for Energy in the down direction, including a Resource de-
commitment and the RTBM LMP is greater than the DA Market LMP, the Asset Owner will
receive a credit for the difference multiplied by the OOME MW. The OOME MW is calculated
as Max (0, or the difference between (i) the absolute value of the Resource’s DA Market cleared
Energy MW and (ii) the (greater of the absolute value of the actual Resource output or the
Resource’s Manual Dispatch Instruction MW)); and/or
1 Note that this charge type will almost always produce a credit. The charge is included here for the rare occasion when a charge may be produced as a result of a data error and/or a resettlement.
Page 25 of 31
(c) If a Manual Dispatch Instruction for Energy or Operating Reserve, or a Resource de-commitment
instruction, causes the RTBM cleared amount of an Operating Reserve product to be less than the
DA Market cleared amount of the corresponding Operating Reserve product and the RTBM MCP
is greater than the DA Market MCP, the Asset Owner will receive a credit for the difference
multiplied by the Out-Of-Merit-Operating Reserve (OOMOR) MW. The OOMOR MW is
calculated as Max (0, or the difference between the Resource’s DA Market cleared Operating
Reserve MW and the Resource’s RTBM cleared Operating Reserve MW).
To the extent that additional costs are incurred as a direct result of a Manual Dispatch Instruction through the
compensation mechanisms described above, Market Participants may request additional compensation through
submittal of actual cost documentation to SPP. SPP will review the submitted documentation and confirm that
the submitted information is sufficient to document actual costs and that all or a portion of the actual costs are
eligible for recovery.
The amount to each Asset Owner (AO) for each eligible Resource Settlement Location for each Dispatch Interval
is calculated as follows:

4.5.9.20 Over-Collected Losses Distribution Amount
(1) The Marginal Losses Component of the Day-Ahead Market LMP and RTBM LMP that results from
the economic market solution which considers the cost of marginal losses, congestion costs and
incremental Energy costs creates an over collection (or under collection as a result of the Real-Time
deviation accounting) related to payment for losses (“ Over-Collected Losses”) that must be accounted
for. A credit or charge is calculated for each hour at each Settlement Location for which an Asset
Owner has a net RTBM Energy withdrawal in a Loss Pool that contributed positively to the over
collection or under collection or paid a charge for Real-Time Pseudo-Tie Losses at the Settlement
Location of the Sink of the Pseudo-Tie path for use of the SPP Transmission system. Each Loss Pool’s
contribution to the Over-Collected Losses is calculated based upon the Settlement Locations contained
within the Loss Pool. There are two types of Loss Pools: (a) Loss Pools defined by all Settlement
Locations within a Settlement Area (“Settlement Area Loss Pool”); and (b) a single Loss Pool defined
by all Hub and External Interface Settlement Locations (“System-Wide Loss Pool”).
Injection/withdrawal amounts associated with Settlement Locations spanning multiple Settlement
Area Loss Pools are allocated pro rata using the billable metering values submitted at the associated
Meter Data Submittal Locations. A loss rebate factor is calculated for each withdrawal Settlement
Location as the sum of i) the difference between the Marginal Loss Component at a withdrawal
Settlement Location and the injection weighted average Marginal Loss Component for the Loss Pool,
multiplied by the net RTBM Energy withdrawal at that Settlement Location and ii) the sum of charges
for Real-Time Pseudo-Tie Losses at the Settlement Location of the Sink of the pseudo-tie path. The
injection weighted average MLC for the Loss Pool is calculated assuming that injection in the Loss
Pool first serves withdrawal in the Loss Pool and then goes to meet the withdrawal in Loss Pools
which do not have sufficient injection to meet all withdrawal. The sum of the Settlement Location
loss rebate factors (positive value only, negative values are ignored) is a measure of that Loss Pool’s
payment for losses on a marginal basis. The Loss Pool sum of the Settlement Location loss rebate
factors are then normalized to allocate a pro-rata portion of the total over collection or under collection
in the hour to each Loss Pool. Within a Loss Pool, each Asset Owner is allocated a portion of the Loss
Pool subtotal at each Settlement Location based on a ratio share of its net RTBM Energy withdrawal
to that of the Loss Pool in total. Asset Owners with GFA Carve Out energy transactions are not
qualified to receive loss rebates associated with the GFA Carve Out transactions to the extent of load
it serves under GFA Carve Out Schedule(s). Western-UGP with FSE energy transactions are not
qualified to receive loss rebates associated with the FSE transactions to the extent of load it serves
under an FSE Schedule(s). The amount is calculated as follows:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION FOR MOPC AND BOD ACTION
OBJECTIVE OF REVISION
Objectives of Revision Request: Describe the problem/issue this revision request will resolve.
Currently SPP Resource commitments are confirmed by the Market Participant’s system. A timestamp of receipt log is maintained by SPP in order to provide assurance that a Market Participant received all SPP Resource commitment start-up and shut-down notifications.
There is a gap in the current process where a Market Participant’s system provides a timestamp of receipt, however the operator does not receive the commitment instruction. This Revision Request will address this gap by requiring a manual acknowledgement via the Markets User Interface or Automatic Programmable Interface to confirm the notifications were received and ensuring the operator receives the commitment instruction. SPP will follow-up with a phone call if the commitment instruction is not manually confirmed.
The additional Protocols language below explicitly states that Resource starts by the SPP RTO shall be confirmed. In the event a confirmation is not received, SPP will follow-up with a phone call.
Describe the benefits that will be realized from this revision.
Increased quality of the Reliability Coordination and Balancing Authority functions by ensuring Resource Commitments are received by Operators.

Market Protocols
4.2.6.3 Multi-Day Reliability Assessment Results
SPP staff communicates these start-up orders to the affected Market Participants. At the time of this
notification, the submitted Offers become binding and the selected Resource(s) Offers are included in the
DA Market with a Commitment Status similar to Self-commit. SPP confirms receipt of start-up and shut-
down orders for all Resource commitments. In the event a confirmation is not received, SPP will follow-
up with a phone call. Unlike Self-Committed Resources, however, the Multi-day Reliability Assessment
committed Resources will be eligible for DA Market make-whole payment guarantees as described under
Section 4.5.8.12. Resources committed out of the Multi-Day Reliability Assessment during Conservative
Operations as described under Section 4.2.6.2 (5) may only be de-committed by SPP to address
Emergency conditions consistent with Sections 4.3.2.4 and 4.4.1.4.
4.3.2.4 Update Current Operating Plan
Using the results from the Day-Ahead RUC analysis, SPP will update the Current Operating Plan and will issue start-up and shut-down orders to Resources other than DVERs and NDVERs for which SPP is calculating an output forecast (these Resources are always assumed to be self-committed if available) as appropriate. SPP confirms receipt of start-up and shut-down orders for all Resource commitments. In

the event a confirmation is not received, SPP will follow-up with a phone call. SPP can only de-commit DA Market committed Resources or move a DA Market committed combined cycle Resource that has been registered to submit configuration based offers as described under Section 4.2.2.5.3(4) into a lower configuration to address an anticipated excess supply condition as described under Section 4.3.2.2(3)(b) and/or to address any other Emergency conditions. If SPP de-commits an SPP committed Resource or moves a combined cycle Resource into a lower configuration for any hour of the DA Market commitment schedule, and causes that Resource to buy back its Energy and/or Operating Reserve position at RTBM prices that exceed the DA Market prices for the comparable products, then that Resource is eligible for compensation under Section 4.5.9.9.
4.4.1.4 Update Current Operating Plan
Using the results from the Intra-Day RUC analysis, SPP will update the Current Operating Plan and will
issue start-up and shut-down orders to Resources other than DVERs and NDVERs for which SPP is
calculating an output forecast (these Resources are always assumed to be self-committed if available) as
appropriate. SPP confirms receipt of start-up and shut-down orders for all Resource commitments. In
the event a confirmation is not received, SPP will follow-up with a phone call. SPP may only issue
changes to shut-down orders issued as part of the DA Market results or move a DA Market committed
combined cycle Resource that has been registered to submit configuration based offers as described
under Section 4.2.2.5.3(4) into a lower configuration to address an anticipated excess supply condition
as described under Section 4.3.2.2(3)(b) and/or to address any other Emergency conditions. If SPP de-
commits an SPP committed Resource or moves a combined cycle Resource into a lower configuration
for any hour of the DA Market commitment schedule, and causes that Resource to buy back its Energy
and/or Operating Reserve position at RTBM prices that exceed the DA Market prices for the comparable
products, that Resource is eligible for compensation under Section 4.5.9.9.

SERs - SPP Market Preliminary Benefits Analysis
Market Support11/13/2015
Background
3
• Interest in SPP’s Regulation Market from Stored Energy Resources (SERs)
• SERs participate in other markets (PJM and MISO)
• Other markets have reported benefits from these type of Resources, specifically batteries
• SPP is in discussions with the battery developers and other markets to investigate incorporating a market design that would maximize the mutual benefits between SPP as a Market and BA and the battery owners
What’s in it for SPP?
4
• Potential Regulation Requirement reduction due to quicker Regulation response from batteries
• Possible reduction in commitment cost
• Potential reduction in Market’s Regulation cost: Batteries may not participate in Energy and thus the MCP of the Resource may not include any Loss of Opportunity Cost (LOC) related to Energy
– Approximately 50% of today’s Reg MCP is due to the LOC of the marginal Resource
• SERs can smooth out ramping events for VERs which could further decrease the amount of Regulation needed at any time
What’s in it for the SER’s
• Regulation Performance driven compensation– On average, about 75MWMile is instructed every 5-
minutes for each Reg-Up and Reg-Dn
– Batteries can respond to the instructed Regulation and are compensated upon the Resource’s response to the instructions at the Regulation Mileage MCP Good ramp rate profile means fast response to the Regulation
instructions
5
Current Design Challenges
• Modeling the characteristics of these Resource types in AGC and the Market – Control the clearing and deployment of these Resources
– Managing the Energy Neutrality of these Resources
– Visibility into the state of these Resources (charge and discharge)
• Pricing the Regulation for these Resources differently due to no qualification for Energy
• Accounting for Resource’s Energy losses into the settlement
6
SPP’s Early Stance
• Current system can handle these Resources under different Resource types (DDR, BDR) with some benefit to SPP and batteries; however
• To realize maximized, full benefit potential to both SPP and batteries, design and protocol changes are required
– Regulation Selection, clearing and deployment changes
– Registration requirement changes
– Real-Time visibility and awareness of these Resources’ status is a must from BA standpoint

SPP Response to MWG Action Item 276 MWG Action Item 276: SPP staff to perform analysis of SPP Registration and Onboarding Processes to determine where opportunity for increases process efficiency may exist and report back to MWG during the August and September timeframe. SPP Response: SPP completed the requested analysis of the SPP Registration and Market Participant (MP) Onboarding Processes to determine where opportunity for increased process efficiency may exist. The results of the analyses indicate that recently implemented enhancements from recent LEAN Projects have helped to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these processes and additional improvements are expected to continue in the future as other identified enhancements are fully implemented. Additionally, the analysis also identified that the timeframes used for implementing and performing Market Registrations and MP Onboarding activities are considered optimum and appropriate to accommodate the collaborative activities that SPP performs with both existing and perspective Market Participants. After implementing enhancements, SPP was able to make the SPP Model Update process run more smoothly and efficiently as well as effectively with less internal model implementation or data issues. However, we were not able to identify any general opportunity to specifically reduce the timelines for SPP Registration and Onboarding activities. Factors that affect the timeline include the following (Note - the factors apply to all MP Onboarding activities); 1. The time needed to secure, review, and approve all required registration and certification
documentation and information needed to register and model a new MP and/or a MP’s assets, 2. The time needed to completely setup a MP in all applicable SPP models, tools, etc., 3. The need to implement, review, and validate model data and changes in our lower
environments and test before going to the Quality Assurance (QA) environment, 4. The time needed for an MP to successfully complete all required training and testing
activities. 5. The need to implement, review, and validate model data and changes in our QA
environment and test before going to the Production (PROD), 6. The time needed to implement, review, and validate model data and changes in PROD It was also determined that due to the need to model and adequately test in the lower environments (MTE and QA), pushing model data to production environments earlier than seven days in advance of the production effective date is not feasible without also moving registration data submission deadlines. This would result in changes to the current registration and MP Onboarding timelines. Although the current timeframes used for implementing and performing Market Registration and MP Onboarding activities are considered optimum and appropriate, it is noted that it may be possible to consider implementing a specific type change in about 90 days instead of a 4-month timeline. This situation is for when an existing Financial Only MP requests to become an Asset Owning MP under specific conditions. (See the third paragraph under the “Discussed Registration and Onboarding Processes with Applicable SPP Management” section for details.
SPP Registration and Onboarding Processes Analysis Results SPP performed the activities to analyze the SPP Registration and Onboarding Processes 1. Reviewed Current Registration and Onboarding Processes including recent process
evaluations covered by applicable LEAN Process and other activities 2. Discussed Registration and Onboarding Processes for possible enhancement with applicable
SPP Management personnel 3. Researched and reviewed available Registration and Onboarding process information from
other entities with Energy Markets Reviewed Current Registration and Onboarding Processes including recent process evaluations covered by applicable LEAN Process and other activities
Issues identified during LEAN activities MP Related
1) Time lapses between gaining access to Modeling Tool and creating projects 2) Reluctance to use Modeling Tool for registration changes 3) Knowledge/Understanding of how to use Modeling Tool 4) Submission of inaccurate or incomplete registration data on the deadline date 5) Delays in updating and finalizing documentations; i.e., MP Agreements, MA Agreements 6) Delays in securing required registration/technical information from Market Participants 7) Delays in coordinating requested changes with applicable TOPs/Settlement Areas

1) Rework of registration changes at hand-off between Model Coordination and Commercial/Network Modelers
2) Timeline accounts for “pre-work” which allows time to finalize registration information 3) Model Tool can be cumbersome if not used on a regular basis 4) Hand-off of registration data from Model Coordination to other downstream systems not
efficient 5) Reliability Input Deadlines are late in month requiring delayed modeling to coordinate
Commercial and Network Modeling As part of the LEAN process we developed four project teams to address the following issues:
• Process Efficiency • Automation/Consolidation • SPP Policy/Procedure • Training and Education
Steps taken to enhance the Model Update process
1) Developed User Guides and Quick Reference Guides for Modeling Tool 2) Enhanced training documentation 3) Enhanced Model Coordination processes to improve distribution of registration data 4) Developed RR to allow SPP to deny a registration change if all required information is
not provided by deadline
Discussed Registration and Onboarding Processes with Applicable SPP Management
SPP’s MP Onboarding process and activities are coordinated by SPP Customer Relations via the SPP Onboarding Specialist (Karen Johnson) in this group working with the Model Coordination group and other SPP personnel. Model Coordination contacted Russell Quattlebaum, Manager of SPP Customer Relations and the Onboarding Specialist and asked if they could identify any possible opportunity where for increases in process efficiency may exist especially in regards to reducing MP Onboarding timelines. Both indicated that recent and past review activities had helped to identify and implement enhancements to the process; however, the timelines were found to be optimum and appropriate for the level of activities that needed to be performed and completed by SPP and the new MPs.
Many of the Registration and MP Onboarding modeling activities are performed by SPP engineers responsible for the Commercial Models. Model Coordination contacted Casey Cathey, the former Manager for these engineers, and asked if he could identify any possible opportunity to increase process efficiency especially in regards to reducing Registration and MP Onboarding timelines. Casey indicated that he had previously researched this issue and concluded that if it were necessary, only for a situation where an existing Financial Only (FO) MP requested to become an Asset Owning (AO) MP, it may be possible to accomplish this type change in about 90 days instead of four months; however, changes must occur during MP Onboarding cycles.
However, specific criteria would apply including 1) all required completed documentation and information must be provided to SPP at least 90 days prior to scheduled MP Onboarding cycle in which the change would be implemented, 2) the FO MP must have a relationship with an existing AO MP, 3) the existing related AO MP must act as the Market Agent for the asset of the new AO MP, 4) new AO MP must use the communications systems (ICCP, XML, etc.) of the existing related MP, 5) the personnel for the existing AO MP must perform and or assist in all training, testing, and PROD activities for the new AO MP. (Note attestations may be used for training, if applicable.)
Research & Review of Registration and MP Onboarding Processes of other Entities
Model Coordination personnel reviewed the Registration and MP Onboarding/Addition processes for several entities with Energy Markets including MISO and ERCOT. Although the processes for these entities allowed for the addition of new MP in a shorter timeframe that SPP the level of interaction and collaboration provided by these entities was less than that of SPP. Specifically, SPP is highly collaborative in working with new MPs from the start of the process including preliminary activities through final activities when the MP becomes effective in PROD. However, the other entities require that all preliminary activities and the final version of the required documentation be completed by the new MP prior to submitting a new MP or it will be rejected. The new MP could also be rejected at other points in the process. SPP works to insure the new MP successfully completes the MP Onboarding process.

Notes1. Calculation expects resources to simultaneously drive towards their energy, CR and
regulation setpoints.
a. Expected setpoints are derived from RTGen setpoints that are ramped over the respective time periodsi. 5 minutes for energy
ii. 10 minutes for CR
iii. 4 seconds for regulation
2. Performance calculation is the same method used for mileage calculation.
3. % Score is: Regulation Response / Expected Regulation Setpoint.a. 75 cycle scores is rolled up into a 5 minute averaged score as long as they cycle is holding a deployment. Each deployment that
forces s start from 0MW or turns around is a given 3 cycle grace period before expected reg SP and scoring starts. If MW values received by SPP do not refresh every cycle, then the MW is interpolated.
b. 5 minute scores are rolled up into an weighted hourly averaged score. Weight is based on ExpectedRegulation5MinuteSum.
c. Hourly scores are rolled up into a monthly averaged score.
d. Resources that received deployment instructions for a minimum of 2,250 4-second intervals were included in each Regulation product. This percentage roughly correlates to a 5 minute period in 1 day.

• 9% of manual commitments amounted to 637 commitments.
• Of these 637, roughly 172 (27%), were actual new commitment startups not tied to the front or back end of a case.
• The majority of these commitments are backend extensions where units are being staggered offline to manage the impact to BA and ACE.
• In conclusion, about 2.5% of the total commitments made in the month of October were actual new manual commitments
• ‘Bridge’ were manual commitments performed by the RUC operator to bridge two existing commitments

Constraint Elements Reason
OSGCANBUSDEAMon: Osage-Canyon 115 kV
Con: Bushland – Deafsmith 230 kV NorthSouth loading in SPS primarily due to economic dispatch (resources in SPS south are usually not economic), as well as high wind north of this constraint.
TEXAS_CO_TXPS_TXCO_PHSHFT_PS This has always been “activated”, but it is just now showing up in the MDB solution constraint tables since the 1.12 release.
WDWFPLWDWTATMon: Woodward-Fpl Switch 138 kV
Con: Tatonga-Northwest 345 kVIt shows up during high NW to SE flows from the Texas Panhandle and West Kansas and also when there is high wind in the area.
TEMP56_21085 Mon: Tuco – Lubbock 115kVCon: Tuco – Jones Sub 230kV Inc resources were at a minimum to relieve loading on this constraint.
TEMP48_20597 Mon: Setab – Scott City 115kVCon: Setab – Holcomb 345kV Ongoing outages in the area with little generation to move up with heavy North-South flow.
TMP168_21247 Mon: Knoll – Redline 115kVCon: Gentleman – Red Willow 345kV Heavy flows into the area, along with multiple generation and transmission outages in the area.
SUNAMOTOLYOA Mon: Sundown – Amoco 230kVCon: Tolk – Yoakum 230kV
Shows up when trying to keep enough generation on in the area. This constraint can be impacted with or without outages in the area.

Revision Description
The purpose of this MPRR is to improve sections of Appendix G where Market Participants have found the language or formulas to be unclear. Especially, Market Participants seek clarity around the use of FERC accounts for fuel and VOM. To be consistent with the purpose of the guidelines (see Appendix G 1.5) and with the requirements of the SPP Tariff, the costs derived from FERC accounts must only include short-run marginal production costs.
• Providing clarity that only the short-run marginal cost items in fuel and VOM FERC Accounts are includable in mitigated offers
• Correcting Hydro cost formula • Updating historical VOM inflation escalation factors

2.3.4 Types of Fuel Costs
Basic fuel cost is the commodity cost of fuel calculated as stated in the company’s fuel cost policy.
NOTE: Basic Fuel Cost for each resource type will be addressed in subsequent sections.
Other fuel related cost includes the consists of additional incremental components of fuel cost required to operate a generating resource, such as transportation fees, taxes on fuel and water injection.
2.4 Total Variable Operation and Maintenance Cost
Total Variable Operation and Maintenance (VOM) costs are the parts and labor expenses of
maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition. A resource should reflect its
short-run incremental VOM costs by using the most current data available. This could include the
previous maintenance cycle period cost or actual short-run incremental cost where available.

The process for computing the RLDF cut-off was changed because the initial calculations led to cut-offs as low as 1.8%. To address this issue we only consider relief megawatts with a RLDF magnitude of 3% or greater relative to the primary constraint, and we set the cut-off at the 90th percentile of the relief megawatts supplied by the three largest pivotal suppliers. See Appendix C of this presentation for additional details.

Appendix A – FCA Methodology*

* Section III in the 2014 FCA Report available on SPP.org at this link: SPP Market Monitoring Unit
1. Binding Hours Computation
The number of binding hours is computed for each modeled transmission constraint. A constraint is counted as binding in a five minute interval if the loading on the constraint is within the greater of five megawatts (5 MW) or 2% of the effective constraint limit.
15
2. Pivotal Supplier Analysis
The number of pivotal supplier hours is computed for each modeled transmission constraint. A constraint is counted as having a pivotal supplier during a five minute interval if the supplier can cause a constraint to exceed the effective constraint limit by decreasing generation on resources that provide congestion relief and by increasing generation on resources that contribute to congestion. The re-dispatch of the potential pivotal supplier’s resources is governed by the submitted ramp rates, and the economic minimum and maximum capabilities. A thirty minute re-dispatch period is considered. The ability of the market to react to the actions of the potential pivotal supplier is accounted for by allowing a similar re-dispatch of all resources not owned or controlled by the potential pivotal supplier.
16
3. Selection of FCA Candidates
Candidates for designation as a Frequently Constrained Area are chosen based on the binding hours and pivotal supplier analyses. Constraints that are in the same electrical proximity and have the same pivotal suppliers are grouped together. If the aggregate number of binding and pivotal supplier hours is significant, then the area is selected as a candidate FCA. A primary constraint for the candidate FCA is generally selected as the constraint with the highest number of binding hours.
17
4. Identify candidate FCA Resources
A resource is a candidate FCA resource if its shift-factor relative to the candidate FCA primary constraint is less than or equal to the candidate FCA shift-factor cut-off. To determine the shift-factor cut-off we first compute the relief capability* of the three largest pivotal suppliers relative to the primary constraint. The shift-factor cut-off is then set at the shift-factor corresponding to the ninetieth percentile of the relief capability. In other words, ninety percent (90%) of the relief capability owned by the three largest pivotal suppliers’s relief capability has a shift-factor less than or equal to the candidate FCA shift-factor cut-off.
* Relief capability consists of megawatt impacts on the primary constraint from Resources with RLDFs ≤ -3%
18
5. Identify candidate FCA secondary Constraints
A constraint is eligible to be defined as a secondary constraint for the candidate FCA if the candidate FCA resource group contributes at least seventy percent (70%) of the total relief capability on the constraint. Additional considerations for defining a constraint as a secondary constraint consist of (i) electrical proximity to the primary constraint, (ii) an expectation that the constraint is not a short-term or temporary constraint, and (iii) an expectation that the constraint will experience significant congestion in the upcoming year.
19
6. Impact Analysis
An impact analysis is employed to determine the number of hours for which the candidate FCA Resource group has significant impacts on prices in the candidate FCA. For each five minute interval in the study period, the resource price impacts on each defining constraint are calculated by multiplying the shadow price and the candidate resource’s corresponding shift-factor. The resource price impacts are then summed over the candidate FCA defining constraints to obtain a five minute price impact for each candidate resource. This calculation is equivalent to finding the contribution from the candidate FCA defining constraints to the candidate resource’s marginal congestion component of the LMP.
