fast-start pricing
CAISO is considering how to apply fast-start pricing to the Extended-Day Ahead Market — a topic that has been a sticking point for some as entities across the West decide which day-ahead market to join.
An SPP executive closely involved with developing Markets+ said recent Brattle Group studies on Western day-ahead markets appear to be aimed more at swaying utilities in favor of CAISO’s EDAM than providing an unbiased assessment.
The study comparing key features of CAISO’s EDAM and SPP’s Markets+ contains “several material misstatements of facts” and overlooks evidence “directly contrary to its conclusions,” Powerex contends.
The white paper by The Brattle Group offers a point-by-point comparison of CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market and SPP’s Markets+ that leans in favor of EDAM but stops short of endorsing either market.
The next phase of the Price Formation Enhancements Initiative will look to address issues around market power mitigation, scarcity pricing and fast-start pricing.
Enhanced protections against uncompetitive market behavior are among several tools to ensure fair and accurate pricing under a Markets+ framework, according to the latest "issue alert" from entities that back its development.
