Day-Ahead Market Results

ERCOT has determined that there were 16 ODs for the DAM that meet the criteria for seeking Board approval for price correction.

The number of Counter-Parties meeting one of the two criteria for significance are shown in the table below for each OD that met the criteria for seeking Board approval for price correction for the DAM:
