4. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 4 What is a CRR? Congestion Revenue Rights –Definition: A Congestion Revenue Right (CRR) is a financial instrument that entitles the CRR Owner to be charged or to receive compensation for congestion rents that arise when the ERCOT Transmission Grid is congested in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) or in Real-Time (RT). CRRs do not represent a right to receive, or obligation to deliver, physical energy. –Types of CRRs: Point-to-Point (PTP) CRR: –Obligations (some maybe PCRRs) –Options (some maybe PCRRs) –Obligations with Refund (all PCRRs) –Options with Refund (all PCRRs) Flowgate Right (FGR)

5. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 5 CRR Traits Traits of a CRR –Acquired in 3 Time of Use Blocks: Weekday Peak (5*16, excluding holidays) Weekend Peak (2*16, including holidays) Off Peak (7*8) Same MW amount for each hour in the TOU block –Defined in Unit of MW –Financially Binding (Owners are paid/charged regardless of their actual energy schedule or generation) –Do not represent a right for physical delivery

6. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 6 PTP CRR PTP CRR : –PTP Obligation, PTP Option, PTP Obligation with Refund, PTP Option with Refund –Described from a Source (Injection) Settlement Point to a Sink (Withdrawal) Settlement Point: –Source/Sink Settlement Point can be: Resource Node Load Zone Trading Hub

7. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 7 PTP Obligation PTP Obligation can be either a payment or charge to CRR Owners depending on the direction of congestion in relation to the PTP Obligation. –A revenue entitlement from ERCOT to CRR Owners when congestion is in the same direction as the PTP Obligation Sink Source 150 MW LMP = $20/MWh LMP = $30/MWh Limit: 100 MW 50 MW 100 MW PTP Obligation Price = LMP sink – LMP source = 10 $/MW

8. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 8 PTP Obligation - continued PTP Obligation can be either a payment or charge to CRR Owners depending on the direction of congestion in relation to the PTP Obligation. –A charge to CRR Owners when congestion is in the opposite direction as the PTP Obligation Source Sink 150 MW LMP = $20/MWh LMP = $30/MWh Limit: 100 MW PTP Obligation Price = LMP sink – LMP source = - 10 $/MW 50 MW 100 MW

9. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 9 PTP Option PTP Option never results in a charge to CRR Owners. –A revenue entitlement from ERCOT to CRR Owners when congestion is in the same direction as the PTP Option Sink Source 150 MW LMP = $20/MW LMP = $30/MW Limit: 100 MW 50 MW 100 MW PTP Option Price = Max(0, LMP sink – LMP source ) = 10 $/MW per hour Same Value as PTP Obligation

10. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 10 PTP Option - continued PTP Option never results in a charge to CRR Owners. –Zero value when congestion is in the opposite direction as the PTP Option Source Sink 150 MW LMP = $20/MW LMP = $30/MW Limit: 100 MW 50 MW 100 MW PTP Option Price = Max(0, LMP sink – LMP source ) = 0 $/MW per hour PTP Obligation would be negative value

11. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 11 PTP CRR with Refund PTP Obligations with Refund and PTP Options with Refund –It is evaluated in the same manner as a PTP Obligation or PTP Option. –All are PCRRs. –The NOIE will be paid the minimum of: PCRR Actual Usage or PCRR with refund MW amount.

12. Texas Nodal http://nodal.ercot.com 12 Flowgate Right Flowgate –Predefined directional network element or a predefined bundle of directional network elements Flowgate Right –McCamey Area flowgates are the only flowgates where FGRs are available in ERCOT –It never results in a charge to CRR Owners
