The removal of the $20,000 adder was supposed to be in conjunction with the proposal passed by BIC and MC back in Sept, where the external proxy busses would clear at BME instead of LBMP. Subsquently it was determined that due to soft ware limitations and the study that long term prices indicated that the BME clearing prices would have big uplift impact since BME averaged higher then the LBMP. The answer was to automate ECA06B so that when there was congestion that only the proxy bus effected would clear at BME, in effect eliminating the need for the $20,000 adder. Soooo the question is: Is the automated ECA06B going to be in place May 29? Another thought along these lines...Will the removal of the $20,000 adder to non constrained proxy busses pose a problem for those who don't want their DAM schedules bumped by HAM schedules? Will simply babysitting your schedules by changing the HAM bids be sufficent? Since I'm on a roll, what about the fact that according to Tech Bull. 61 that IS+ is still changing Export Sink Price Caps to a -$100 Dec Bid in spite of the fact that BIC and MC back in Sept passed a motion to change this so that the Dec bid would be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign from the SPC Bid? Which is wrong, Tech Bull 61, IS+ or me? Please only pick one, and it must pertain to this narrow question.
