NOTICE DATE: April 29, 2020
NOTICE TYPE: M- A042920-01 Financial/Credit
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Implementation Details for NPRR887, NPRR907, and NPRR985
INTENDED AUDIENCE: ERCOT Counter-Parties
DAY AFFECTED: May 29, 2020
LONG DESCRIPTION: On May 29, 2020, ERCOT will implement Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 887, Monthly Posting of Default Uplift Exposure Information, NPRR907, Revise Definition of M1a to Reflect Actual Calendar Days, and NPRR985, Modify Forward Adjustment Factors to Include Pricing for the Current Operating Day
NPRR887 Monthly Posting of Default Uplift Exposure Information
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) creates a new Market Information System (MIS) Certified Area monthly report posting which provides insight to the potential risk associated with default uplift charges to Counter-Party. The report will reflect the Counter-Party’s Maximum MWh Activity, Maximum MWh Activity Ratio Share and the Market-wide Maximum MWh Activity which are used in calculating a Counter-Party’s default uplift invoice.
NPRR907 Revise Definition of M1a to Reflect Actual Calendar Days
The M1a component of the Total Potential Exposure (TPE) calculation sets a time period meant to reflect the number of days between an Operating Day and the initiation of a Mass Transition of the Market Participant’s Electric Service Identifiers (ESI IDs) (Mass Transition days are reflected in the M1b component). This NPRR replaces the existing fixed value of M1a with a value that can vary based on non-Bank Business Days and ERCOT holidays following the specific Operating Day.
NPRR985 Modify Forward Adjustment Factors to Include Pricing for the Current Operating Day
Currently an externally-sourced vendor’s forward prices for the three weeks following the current Operating Day are used to compute forward adjustment factors. However, forward prices are available for the current Operating Day.
By beginning the three-week period on the Operating Day, rather than after it, ERCOT will incorporate the most recent available forward Market pricing data in the credit calculation, thereby reflecting updated Market price expectations and improving the accuracy of the calculation.
