Forward Procurement of Capacity Resources

• Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) is PJM’s new resource adequacy construct that will replace the existing capacity construct effective June 1, 2007.

• RPM’s FORWARD procurement of resources through a base residual auction three years prior to the delivery year:Provides long-term price signal for capacity resources.Encourages Load Serving Entities (LSEs) to make long-term bilateral contracts to hedge their locational reliability charges.Supports the Regional Transmission Expansion Planning Process (RTEPP).

Locational Value of Capacity Resources

• RPM recognizes import capability limitations in certain areas as identified in the PJM Regional Transmission Expansion Planning Process (RTEPP).

• RTEPP has currently identified 23 sub-regions as Locational Deliverability Areas (LDAs) for evaluating the locational constraints.

• LDA with import capability limit less than 105% of import capability requirement will be modeled as constrained LDA in RPM.

• RPM auction could result in higher capacity prices in the constrained areas that would encourage new generation additions or keep generating units from retiring.

Variable Resource Requirement Stabilizes Prices

• Variable Resource Requirement (VRR) is also referred to as Demand Curve.

• Defines a relationship between level of reserve and capacity price based on the net annual cost of a new combustion turbine.

• Recognizes the value of additional capacity above the reserve required to meet the reliability criterion.

• Higher price accepted when there is shortage in meeting the required capacity.

• VRR curves established for PJM Region and each constrained Locational Deliverability Area (LDA).

Participation in RPM

• Participation by LSEs for load served in PJM region is mandatory, except for those LSEs that have elected Fixed Resource Requirement (FRR) Alternative.– Each LSE shall be responsible for paying a Locational

Reliability Charge.– May choose to hedge Locational Reliability Charges

by offering capacity into the auction.• Participation by resource providers is subject to

the market power mitigation rules described in the tariff.

Supply in RPM Auctions

• Eligible Capacity Resources:– Existing & planned generation in PJM– Existing external generation– Bilateral contracts for unit-specific capacity resources– Existing & planned demand resources– Qualifying Transmission Upgrades

• Resources must meet the requirements specified in PJM Agreements and Business Rules.

Bilateral Market

• Provides LSEs the opportunity to self-supply and hedge against the Locational Reliability Charge determined through the Base Residual and Second Incremental Auction.

• Provides resource providers an opportunity to cover any commitment shortages due to resource cancellations, delays, deratings, or EFORd increases, or decrease in nominated value of a planned demand resource.

Page 16: PJM Reliability Pricing Model Bhavaraju 200706271 - IEEEsites.ieee.org/pes-resource-center/files/2014/03/PESGM2007P-000649.… · 17.Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region 18.ComEd,

©2007 PJMwww.pjm.com 16

Base Residual Auction

• Allows for procurement of unit-specific resource commitments required, after accounting for self-supply, to satisfy the region’s unforced capacity obligation for a future Delivery Year (less an amount reserved for Interruptible Load for Reliability (ILR)).

• Cost of procurement is allocated to LSEs serving load in the actual Delivery Year through the Locational Reliability Charge.

Page 17: PJM Reliability Pricing Model Bhavaraju 200706271 - IEEEsites.ieee.org/pes-resource-center/files/2014/03/PESGM2007P-000649.… · 17.Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region 18.ComEd,

©2007 PJMwww.pjm.com 17

Incremental Auctions: First and Third

• Allow for an incremental procurement of resource commitments for future Delivery Year to accommodate adjustments to participants’ resource positions due to resource cancellations, delays, deratings, or EFORd increases, etc.

• Buyers pay suppliers with no change in the Locational Reliability Charge assessed to LSEs during the Delivery Year.

Page 18: PJM Reliability Pricing Model Bhavaraju 200706271 - IEEEsites.ieee.org/pes-resource-center/files/2014/03/PESGM2007P-000649.… · 17.Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region 18.ComEd,

©2007 PJMwww.pjm.com 18

Incremental Auctions: Second Incremental Auction

• Second Incremental Auction is held ONLY to mitigate reliability concern. – If increased obligation (due to increase in

peak load forecast) compared with capacity cleared in the Base Residual Auction > 100 MW UCAP, the auction is conducted.

• Cost of procurement is allocated to LSEs serving load during the actual Delivery Year through the Locational Reliability Charge.

Dynamic Analysis: Questions

1. How do different curves affect….• Stability of capacity market?• Costs to consumers? • Ability to meet reserve requirement, reliability

criterion?

2. How robust are these conclusions to different assumptions about:• Generator behavior? • Demand curve parameters?

Page 27: PJM Reliability Pricing Model Bhavaraju 200706271 - IEEEsites.ieee.org/pes-resource-center/files/2014/03/PESGM2007P-000649.… · 17.Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region 18.ComEd,

Dynamic Analysis: Basic Assumptions

Capacity additions are a dynamic process. Investment depends on:1. Forecast revenue streams

– Based on capacity and energy prices from recent auctionsMore forecast net revenue investment ↑

2. Revenue stream variability– Variations due to forecast changes and weather

Highly variable energy and capacity prices investment ↓(due to risk aversion)

3. Risk attitudes: – No hedges (incomplete market) – Risk aversion– Short-sightedness

Random shocks (weather, economic fluctuations) cause variation in returns

• Result: boom/bust cycles in investment

Use of demand curve changes the market dynamics

Page 28: PJM Reliability Pricing Model Bhavaraju 200706271 - IEEEsites.ieee.org/pes-resource-center/files/2014/03/PESGM2007P-000649.… · 17.Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) Region 18.ComEd,

Dynamic Model Overview

1. Simple & transparent model simulates: • annual construction of turbine capacity,

• revenues from energy, ancillary services, & capacity markets,

• market stability in face of random demand shocks,

• consumer costs

2. Allows exploration of assumptions3. The model assesses profitability of CTs needed to

meet the reliability requirement • Other generation types and profitability not modeled• “Representative Agent” approach• Annual time step

Investment Assumptions:• Percent CT added when profit is equal to cost (base: 7%)

+ 2%• Degree of risk aversion:

– risk neutral– very risk averse

• Relative weight placed on earlier year profits in forecast:– low– high

Bidding Assumptions:• Existing capacity bids positive • Potential capacity bids various amounts B

Result: Sloped demand always preferred to vertical

5. Conclusions:Advantages of Sloped Demand

Logically reflects reality of capacity value:– If there are extra reserves, the marginal value of

capacity can be close to but not equal to zero– If reserves are short, payments should be higher

Compared to vertical demand, it lowers risk to generators. Result:– Lower required return to capital– More investment in generation – Dampened capacity cycles– Lower consumer cost

Elasticity mitigates market power in capacity market
