This requirement does not appear to apply to the submission of AS capacity bids by QSEs, although the selection process does require the stacking of all bids in a monotonically increasing fashion. Also, my understanding is that "monotonically increasing ordered pairs" does not necessarily mean a linear function, i.e., there does not have to be a "straight-line" relationship between all QSE bids. thanks, Dan Jones Market Policy & Planning City Public Service of San Antonio 401 W. 15th Street, Ste. 800 Austin, TX 78701 tel:?

The Staff has asked that the examples be provided prior to the next Technical Conference scheduled for January 19. As chair of the Operations Workgroup, I had asked Jerry to develop the first draft of responses so that each of you could then review and provide comments upon them. Comments should be provided by the close of business on Monday, January 16th. All comments should be copied to the full workgroup by e-mailing them to operations@ercot.com. Jerry and I will then incorporated the comments, as appropriate, into the examples and communicate to the workgroup the final version of the examples prior to sending them to the Staff on the 17th. (See attached file: 23220 Examples.doc) Thanks -- Brad
