ISO Market Services Balancing Energy Services A/S Energy Supplemental Energy Ancillary Services (A/S) AGC Regulation Operating Reserves
Real Time Market for Balancing Energy -RTMA Energy Bids submitted from Generators, Curtailable Loads, and Interchange; - Supplemental Energy bids, and - A/S Energy bids (Non-AGC Regulation) RTMA Dispatches RT energy on a 5 minute basis which is used by Settlements, to calculate the 10- Minute Interval Zonal Settlement Price, Instructed energy is settled at the resource specific 10- minute price Uninstructed deviations are settled at the Real Time Market zonal 10-minute average ex-post price.

ISO Scheduling, Metering and Settlement Process SCs Schedule Power Flows and Submit A/S Market Participation Bids - by Trade Hour in Day Ahead (DA) and Hour Ahead (HA) timeframes ISO Conducts DA & HA Ancillary Services and Congestion Market Auctions ISO Runs Real Time (RTMA) Balancing Energy Market REAL TIME / Operating Hour SCs/ISO Read Resource Meters (Actuals) for each Operating/Trade Hour ISO Settles Market & Administrative Charges- Ancillary Services, Imbalance Energy, Congestion, Wheeling, GMC
A/S Capacity vs Real Time Energy Settlement Fundamentals Capacity settlements and Imbalance Energy settlements are separate and distinct A/S payments are for Reserved Generation Capacity and are settled for each Market, DA and HA (24/Day). Energy is settled as either Instructed or Uninstructed Deviations in Real Time, from Scheduled Power Flows ISO Real Time Energy market is a real time balancing service distinct from commodity Forward Energy Markets
ISO Settlement Fundamentals Market Settlements by Charge Type category are revenue neutral Charges are either Due SC or Due ISO and can be + or - Administrative Charges = 15 Unbundled Grid Management Charges (GMC) Settlements are by Trade Hour & 10 Minute Energy Settlement Interval Settlement = Billable Quantity (BQ) x Unit Price
