<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">a.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">Brattle and ERCOT fielded questions about the VOLL literature review and the interim VOLL. Some concerns have been expressed by PUC Staff, in their memo posted at the PUC, because some of the models that Lawrence Berkley National Lab has used, which the review was based on, were higher than values in the literature review. The Commission approved the interim VOLL for the Reliability Standard Study, and not current pricing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">b.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">Stakeholders asked for clarity about where the interim value will be used. It will be used in the Reliability Standard Study to calculate customer damage. It could also be used in reserve margin studies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">c.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">To convert willingness to pay, Brattle took the dollar values cost calculated for an outage and divided it by unserved energy to calculated $/MW unserved. They did not normalize the data in their review, due to complexities in the data. They did customize the data on ERCOT -specific variables to derive the numbers. Stakeholders challenged this methodology because over time, the cost of the outages increase. Brattle responded that they actually built the model based on a series of different scenarios to which customers responded.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">d.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">Another commenter highlighted the different purpose that this study has, which is to make sure that the reliability standard adequately accounts for any short-comings in the energy market.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">e.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">Other commenters questioned the assumptions behind the customers’ willingness to pay. Residential and small C&I are not asked for additional information to keep from losing their response. Larger consumers are asked to provide detail.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">f.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">A stakeholder asked whether there was going to be a long-duration question in the survey to cover something like a Uri outage. Brattle responded that this is a likely question. They still are deciding what duration that question will encompass.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">g.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">Stakeholders questioned that the willingness to pay decreases over time. Brattle commented that with a longer duration outage the amount of unserved energy increases so customer’s dollar value that they are willing by pay does not increase linearly; it plateaus. To some, this seems counter-intuitive, and commenters noted that a customer’s response, particularly residential customers might cap their willingness to pay based on their own income. They suggested that there may need to be an adjustment for societal cost. ERCOT pointed out that it would be the commission’s place to account for a societal adjustment, not to alter the study results for that purpose.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 1in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #003c8c;">h.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="color: #003c8c;">ERCOT was asked whether system-wide offer cap would be adjusted for the interim VOLL value. ERCOT responded that they will examine whether this is appropriate, but so far it has not been adjusted.</span></p>
