8 What about the other 5% - 10%? Supported through Ancillary Services
9
9 Pre-arranged operating reserves — the ability to call for additional energy to be made available on the system, on varying levels of short notice. Insurance in case a generating unit goes down, load is higher than anticipated, or other problem emerges. Ancillary Services (“AS”)

15 Ancillary Services (“AS”) Response time is critical in determining which AS a resource can qualify for. 30 minutes 10 minutes Immediate Non-SpinReplacement Balancing Responsive
16
16 QSE Most AS can be self-arranged. QSE has an obligation for AS supply based on “Load Ratio Share”
17
17 If not self-arranged, AS will be purchased by ERCOT Ancillary Services (“AS”) In the AS markets, a QSE can bid in any resources (generation or loads) that aren't already committed. This creates an Ancillary Services Market.
18
18 Is there money to be made by users of Electricity? User of electricity = load $$ Money may be paid $$ for a Load reduction on the system – pending contract & qualification conditions
19
19 What is a Resource? A resource is a $upplier of electricity In the past this was considered an Electric Generating Unit such as: Coal Fired Power Plant Gas (Combustion) Turbine Generator Nuclear Power Plant Hydro Power, etc….
20
20 What is a Resource? Electric Generating units create electricity, apply that energy to the Electric Grid, on demand, and are paid $
21
21 What is a Load acting as a Resource? A resource is a $upplier of electricity - Generator or Load Loads (users of electricity) may reduce or stop their draw of power (curtail), and thus apply unused energy, to the Electric Grid, on demand, for a price $ In this a Load acts as a Resource (LaaR)
22
22 Terminology Capacity Energy Telemetry Protocols Resource Plan Operating Guides The ability to make energy available on demand Electricity available for use Real-time system information used for grid operations, not settlements Rules that govern the Electric Market and System Operations Specific guidelines grid operations QSE submittal to ERCOT on available resources for planning and operations

24
24 Loads acting as Resource (LaaRs) Balancing Up Loads (BULs) LaaRs & BULs
25
25 Loads acting as Resource (LaaRs) LaaRs are scheduled in the resource plan similar to generators LaaRs are telemetered to ERCOT and a component of the QSE’s frequency management program LaaRs are bid in and are awarded in the day ahead capacity market (capacity payment)
26
26 Loads acting as Resource (LaaRs) LaaRs are deployed during the operating day as needed (energy payment) Presently 35% of ERCOT Responsive Reserve can be met with Loads qualified for RRS ~570MW of Loads qualified for RRS ~91 MW of Loads qualified for NSRS
27
27 Ancillary Services (“AS”) Response time determines category of Ancillary Service provided 30 minutes 10 minutes Immediate Non-Spin Replacement Balancing Responsive
28
28 LaaR Qualification Categories Responsive Reserve Service Loads – Loads on underfrequency relay (UFR): can be interrupted instantaneously and can be manually interrupted within 10 minutes Balancing Energy Service Loads – Loads that can be interrupted within 10 minutes Non-Spin Reserve Service Loads – Loads that can be interrupted within 30 minutes
29
29 Loads Qualified for RRS Responsive Reserve Service, Non-Spinning Reserve Service, Replacement Reserve Service, and Balancing Energy Service LaaR Services that may be Provided
30
30 Loads Qualified for BES Up Balancing Energy Service, Non-Spinning Reserve Service, and Replacement Reserve Service LaaR Services that may be Provided
31
31 Loads Qualified for NSRS Non-Spinning Reserve Service LaaR Services that may be Provided
32
32 LaaR - BUL LaaRs may participate in the AS Capacity market, BULs do not LaaRs are contracted for reliability - subject to OOM BULs, though taken from the Balancing bid stack, participate for economic reasons - not subject to OOM
33
33 LaaR - BUL will be paid a capacity payment if struck in the capacity market, and receive an energy payment if they are deployed and respond LaaRs BULs BULs will not be considered in the capacity market, but if responsive to BES award will receive a capacity & energy payment
