SHORT DESCRIPTION: Short payment due to the late payment of Formosa Utility Venture LTD (QSE)

INTENDED AUDIENCE: QSE and CRRAH settlement personnel

DAY AFFECTED: DAM Invoices due for payout on October 31, 2012

LONG DESCRIPTION: Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) and Congestion Revenue Right Account Holders (CRRAHs) that are owed monies from ERCOT on Day-Ahead Market (DAM) Invoices for payout on October 31, 2012, will notice that the amount of funds transferred is short of the balance due on the DAM Invoice. ERCOT sends this Market Notice to indicate that it will follow the "short payment" procedure stated in Protocol Section 9.19, Partial Payments by Invoice Recipients, for payments being made to QSEs and CRRAHs.

Due to the late payment of Formosa Utility Venture LTD (QSE), ERCOT has insufficient funds to pay all amounts in full. The total amount of the short payment is $2,155.66. As described in the Protocols, ERCOT will deduct any applicable DAM administrative fees, payments for Reliability-Must-Run (RMR) services, and CRR Balancing Account from the amount received, and then will reduce payments to all Invoice recipients that are owed monies, except for monies owed for RMR services. The reductions will be made on a pro rata basis of monies owed to each ERCOT creditor for this Invoice to the extent necessary to clear ERCOT's accounts on the payment date to ensure revenue neutrality for ERCOT.
