IMM Quarterly Report: Winter 2018 MISO Independent Market Monitor David Patton, Ph.D. Potomac Economics March 27, 2018

Highlights and Findings: Winter 2018 The MISO markets performed competitively this winter. Natural gas prices fell by 6 percent over last year, but energy prices increased by 8 percent over the same period due to January weather-related events. Market power mitigation was infrequent and offers were competitive. In January, extremely cold temperatures throughout the footprint affected gas prices, generation outages and performance, and energy prices. Significant fuel price volatility in late December and early January contributed to high congestion and price volatility. On January 17 and 18, MISO declared Maximum Generation Events and took a number of emergency actions in the South. Temperature-related forced outages contributed to tight conditions on multiple days. LMRs were scheduled and deployed on both days and MISO took a number of other emergency actions on January 17. Reliability was maintained, but prices did not efficiently reflect conditions. A new wind output record of 15.0 GW was set on January 17. Transmission congestion was significantly higher this winter than last year. -2-

Highlights for Winter 2018 Winter Peak: Late Dec 17 / Early Jan 18 (Slides 12, 13, 20, 21, 22) Gas prices rose 15 percent in January from the prior year, contributing to a 40 percent increase in energy prices. Extremely cold weather throughout the footprint from January 1 to 4 led to: MISO-wide Cold Weather Alerts and Conservative Operations ending Jan 6. Winter load peaked on January 2 at 104.7 GW, but was lower than the all-time winter peak load of 109.3 GW during the 2014 Polar Vortex. Fuel-related generation outages and more than 4 GW of generation that could only be used in an emergency contributed to tight operating conditions on several days. 14 intervals of operating reserve shortages occurred with average prices of $501/MWh. Multiple gas pipeline restrictions and high gas prices occurred. Dual-fuel capable units switched to burn oil that was cheaper than gas. Cold weather in late December also led to gas price volatility. The Ventura hub price was as high as $67.50 on three days and affected many units. We consulted with multiple participants on generation fuel costs for references and no inappropriate mitigation occurred. -4-

Highlights for Winter 2018 Winter Peak: Jan 17 th -18 th in MISO South (Slides 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) Unusually cold weather in the South on January 17 and 18 led to a record winter peak in the South of 32.1 GW on January 17 and emergency events. Conditions were extremely tight on January 17 from 6 AM to 1 PM: MISO s load forecast in the early morning showed a significant capacity deficiency by 9 AM, prompting MISO to declare a Max Gen Alert starting 5 AM. The actual load was well below the forecast by the peak hours (7 to 9 AM) due to voluntary load curtailments and the initial response from LMRs called at 6 AM. However, forced outages rose from 5 GW at midnight to almost 7.5 GW by 8:30. MISO relaxed some of its transmission limits in the South, raising them by roughly 25 percent to increase access to generation. Because load exceeded supply, MISO exceeded the RDT limit for roughly an hour from 6:45 AM to 7:45 AM, by almost 1000 MW at 7:25 AM. MISO scheduled emergency transactions beginning at 7:30 AM that exceeded 1000 MW by 9 AM, allowing it to reduce the RDT flows to below the limit. MISO declared an emergency for the evening peak and for the morning of the 18 th, but conditions were not as tight because some units returned from outage. Given the supply and demand conditions, all of MISO s actions were necessary to keep the lights on in the South. -5-

Highlights for Winter 2018 Winter Peak: Jan 17 th -18 th in MISO South (Slides 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) Day-ahead congestion was much higher than real-time congestion costs. Emergency actions taken on both days resulted in lower real-time congestion. Louisiana Hub day-ahead premium exceeded $1,100 for one hour on Jan 18. Findings regarding LMRs: The LMRs were not obligated to be available (only required in the summer). Long notification times limit LMRs value schedules were low on the 17 th in the morning peak. MISO declared the event early on Jan 18 to secure them. It is difficult to tell from observing the load the extent of the LMR response. This event may underscore the value of reconsidering how MISO quantifies the capacity credit for LMRs in the PRA. Findings regarding prices during the event on the 17 th : Prices were high when the RDT was violated due to the RDT demand curve. Emergency procedures raised prices slightly, but much lower than optimal: ELMP did not properly account for RDT flows. The emergency price floor set by a unit offer can be too low or too high. Adding the regional reserve requirements and pricing any shortages that occur will lead to fully efficient prices. -6-

Highlights for Winter 2018 High Congestion (Slides 10, 23, 24, 25, 26) Day-ahead and real-time quarterly congestion costs increased 56 and 29 percent, respectively, over last year. High gas volatility days early in the month, record-high wind production, and emergency conditions the South in January were contributing factors. More than one quarter of all day-ahead congestion occurred on January 17 and January 18. In January, MISO incurred $162 million in real-time congestion in the Midwest and $64.5 million in the South. More than 40 percent of real-time congestion was attributable to market-tomarket constraints. One constraint impacted by a PJM pseudo-tied unit contributed to $36 million in congestion in the quarter, and PJM paid MISO $9.6 million. Wind units in PJM had the majority of relief on a constraint that contributed to $29 million in real-time congestion (which is difficult to manage). -7-

Submittals to External Entities and Other Issues We made two new referrals and responded to FERC questions related to prior referrals and continued to meet with FERC on a weekly basis. A participant provided false information in a Reference Price Consultation. We also referred a matter related to PJM s failure to perform CMP Study 1 and MISO is evaluating impacts for possible resettlement. We responded to several data requests related to prior referrals. We made several notifications of other potential Tariff violations. We participated in the following FERC dockets. We filed a protest related to MISO s refiling of its capacity market in an attempt to remedy the design flaw that causes inefficiently low prices. FERC affirmed the design flaw, but the Order ignores the evidence we and others filed. We assisted MISO in the Order 831 Compliance filing (increasing the Offer Cap), and a modification to the Resource Adequacy Construct to include external resource zones in the PRA. We submitted comments in the Fast-Start Pricing dockets in NY and PJM. -8-

Submittals to External Entities and Other Issues We participated in a number of stakeholder discussions and working groups. At the MSC and at the ERSC, we discussed concerns with the current RDT commitment tool and the need for improvements to reduce inefficient commitments. We continued to work with MISO and stakeholders on proposed improvements to the Uninstructed Deviation Thresholds (SOM 2012-2) and improved incentives for PVWMP (SOM 2016-5). In February, we presented at the RASC meeting to prepare stakeholders for the upcoming PRA. We participated in the February PJM-MISO JCM Meeting. -9-
