U.S.A. Market Monitors FERC-approved market monitors (called Market Monitoring Units or MMUs in FERC orders) are non-government persons or entities who watch and observe the organized wholesale markets to identify ineffective market rules and tariff provisions, identify potential anti-competitive behaviour by market participants, and provide the comprehensive market analysis critical for informed policy decision making.

U.S.A. Organized Markets

Legal Framework Order No. 2000, FERC Stats.& Regs. ¶ 31,089 (2000)  set forth principles to inform market monitoring plans to be filed by RTOs as part of their tariffs. See also 18 C.F.R. § Individual RTO orders, e.g., ISO NE, 106 FERC ¶ 61,280 (2004) and SPP, 106 FERC ¶ 61,110 (2004)  expanded and refined Order No principles and accepted tariff provisions. See also 3/app a%20_(after_ _order).DOC; pjm.com/ documents/ downloads/ agreements/tariff.pdf; com/public/webdocs/ documents/tariffs/ market services/att_h.pdf (sample tariff sections); industries/electric/indus-act/rto/handbook.asp (RTO Handbook). 3/app a%20_(after_ _order).DOChttp://www. pjm.com/ documents/ downloads/ agreements/tariff.pdfhttp:// com/public/webdocs/ documents/tariffs/ market services/att_h.pdfhttp:// industries/electric/indus-act/rto/handbook.asp Market Behavior Rules, 105 FERC ¶ 61,218 (2003), order on reh’g, 107 FERC ¶ 61,175 (2005)  modified market based rate tariffs and allowed MMUs to enforce specific rules expressly set forth in RTO tariffs. EPSA v. FERC, 391 F.3d 1255 (D. C. Cir. 2004)  limited FERC communication with MMUs in contested proceedings per the ex parte rules. Policy Statement on Market Monitoring Units, 111 FERC ¶ 61,267 (2005)  specified protocols for MMUs to make referrals to FERC for alleged tariff and Market Behavior Rules violations.

Principles and Protocols Principles:  RTOs must have Market Monitoring Plan in their tariffs.  MMUs: must assist in fairly implementing the market monitoring plan; may be RTO employees or outside consultant or both; must be independent from market players; must vigilantly observe market, identify ineffective market rules and tariff provisions, watch out for anti-competitive activities, report to FERC and state agencies, and make appropriate recommendations; may bring anti-competitive activities to attention of anti-trust authorities; may enforce compliance with clearly identified RTO tariff provisions, and may institute prescribed measures to mitigate market power; must identify any violation of RTO tariff or Market Behavior Rules and refer violations to FERC. Protocols : referrals of alleged tariff and Market Behavior Rules violations must be based on credible evidence in writing to FERC Enforcement chief; referrals will be addressed within 60 days.
