<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shams Siddiqi introduced the issue of </span><a href="https://ercot-control-docs.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/14/Indifference%2520Payment%2520under%2520RTC%2520081424.pptx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">indifference payment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> related to RTC design, initially thought to be resolved through NPRR1214.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">RTC doesn't provide indifference payment related to Reliability Deployment Price Adder (RDPA) causing incentive incompatibility for resources.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources might chase higher RDPA prices instead of following their base points, leading to reliability concerns.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, all resources with available capacity are paid the real-time RDPA ancillary service imbalance amount, creating unnecessary large payments.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proposed indifference payment based on 0.5*ΔLMP*ΔMW between pricing run and dispatch run deltas to reduce incentives to chase prices</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Implementation of NPRR1214 is suggested to be in phases, starting with a grid-wide indifference payment, then introducing locational price signals.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recommends a further refinement to address AS award differences between the SCED pricing run and dispatch run</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In their latest NPRR1214 comments, ERCOT proposed deferring the consideration of NPRR1214 until after RTC implementation, raising concerns about potential severe scarcity events.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Discussion included the need for tools to simulate RDPA price adders and look at the risk of not addressing the indifference payment issue.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunt Energy Network recommends pursuing NPRR1214 to implement the indifference payment with RTC implementation, or pursuing a new urgent NPRR to do the same.</span></li>
