Nodal Pricing Background
• FERC first ordered implementation of Nodal/ Zonal choice in the CMS/MSS order– CMS/MSS Abandoned in favor of SMD
• FERC SMD NOPR suggested a requirement for nodal pricing for load as part of a “National Standard”– ISONE comments estimated a minimum 18 month
implementation in New England
• ISO-NE SMD Filing proposed implementation of nodal pricing for generation with zonal pricing for load

Nodal Pricing Background• Zonal-only pricing was challenged by NICC
– FERC Response to ISO-NE SMD filing imposed nodal pricing compliance requirement
– Accepted 18 month implementation estimate
– Required progress reports in quarterly update filings
• ISONE/ NEPOOL submitted request for clarification– FERC responded that 18 month clock started 3/1/03
– FERC agreed 18 month estimate is approximate
– FERC agreed that NEPOOL could wait for simultaneous implementation

Nodal Pricing Background• Currently active challenge at FERC filed by
NICC– Requests FERC declare 18 month implementation
clock start date coincident with SMD order (9/2002).– Requests FERC order a Date Certain for
implementation.– Requests customers with interval metering be
permitted nodal option now.– Requests implementation of “Nodal Choice”.
• Filing opposed by NEPOOL, ISO-NE, CMP, NU– Discuss implementation difficulties and point to
ongoing stakeholder process
• Decision still pending

Linkage of Wholesale to Retail
• Metering domains do not cross pricing zone boundaries.
• Therefore all load in the domain pays the same (zonal) price.
• Retail customers are mapped to “Load Assets”.
• Load assets are logical customer groupings which are the wholesale representation of retail load.

Calculation of Payment by Load
• EMS Calculates Nodal Prices using Bids and State Estimator Input.
• Zonal Prices Calculated as Load Weighted Average of Nodes in Zone.
• AMR Submits Load Asset hourly consumption.
• ISO associates Load Asset with appropriate Zone and charges hourly zonal price.
• Ownership contracts assign Participant responsibility for load assets.

Nodal Pricing Implementation Options
• At this point, four basic options have been identified for nodal pricing compliance.
• From easiest to hardest implementation:
– More/Smaller Zones
– “Special Circumstances” Nodal
– Full Nodal Pricing
– Nodal Choice
![Page 36: Nodal/ Zonal Pricing Settlement Model Background](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814907550346895db63cc2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

36
Nodal Pricing Implementation Options
• Implement more/ Smaller Zones– Not a “Nodal Pricing” solution but similar impact.
– Split zones which experience intra-zonal congestion.
– NGRID and NSTAR have already been through this process.
– Delivers most of the benefit of nodal pricing at minimal cost and with minimal contracting disruption.
– Maintains a robust zonal pricing system for those wanting that type of price stability.
– Maintains existing Load Asset accounting and contract system.

37
Nodal Pricing Implementation Options
• “Special Circumstances” Nodal – Certain Customers may Qualify
– All the load at a node chooses Nodal.
– Includes Load Assets associated only with load at that Node.
– Requires OP18 Compliant Metering – Interval Metering is not sufficient.
– The Node is removed from the Zonal Price Calculation.
![Page 38: Nodal/ Zonal Pricing Settlement Model Background](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814907550346895db63cc2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

L200
ISO NEW ENGLAND
38
Nodal Pricing Implementation Options• “Special Circumstances” Nodal Alternate
approach:– Requires customer install OP18 metering – Interval
metering is not sufficient.
– ISO redefines the Node
• Previous single node becomes an ap-Node made up of two p-Nodes.
• One p-Node counts toward zonal price and the other does not.
– Load opting for Nodal price becomes a meter reader.
• ISO requires node weighting to allow zonal price to be calculated.
• Weighting could be fixed or dynamic

G200
L200
ISO NEW ENGLAND
39
Nodal Pricing Implementation Options• Full Nodal – All customers move to nodal
pricing on a given date.
– Option to Balance load at the node or use Node estimation approach. (Very different costs)
– Allows calculation of zonal price in real time, but zonal price not used in settlement.
– Requires new node-associated Load Assets.
– Requires retail load mapping to nodes as well as to Load Assets.
– No choice regarding nodal versus zonal pricing.

G200
L200
ISO NEW ENGLAND
40
Nodal Pricing Implementation Options• Nodal Choice – customers at each node may
chose nodal or zonal price.– Zonal price is a residual calculation of load weighted
average of that portion of load opting for zonal price.
– Almost impossible to calculate a real-time zonal price.
• Actual vs Estimated node weights
• Real-time calculation using actual weights would require extensive telemetry.
– Requires balancing of load at each node.
– Requires reconfiguration of Load Assets and may require nodal/zonal specific Load Assets.

Nodal Pricing Implementation Issues• Many NEPOOL Participants are Opposed
• Potential disruption of existing contracts
• Requirement to redefine Load Assets possibly down to a nodal level
• Determination of cost/ benefits
• Need for agreement regarding the specific option to be implemented
• Agreement as to who pays for implementation
• Need for State Regulatory support
• Need to come to regional agreement on issues and possibly file with FERC

Nodal Pricing Implementation Issues• Retail Load is not mapped at a nodal level
– Much of Retail load has network service
– Routine changes on Distribution System frequently change retail node mapping
• Load Assets exist at Zonal Level – not Nodal
• Fully balancing load at the nodal level requires substantial expenditures
• Nodal choice effectively precludes real-time calculation of zonal price

Nodal Pricing Next Steps• ISO will schedule a series of Participant Forums.
– ISO and NEPOOL will present Foundation Issues.
– ISO will not present or defend a “straw proposal” in workshops.
– ISO will focus on presenting implementation issues and will facilitate Participant discussion.
– Participation by State Regulators is essential to Process.
• Based on Stakeholder input, ISO will develop a recommendation for presentation to NEPOOL.
• Target start of workshops in September with recommendation to NPC by end of this year.
