The attached document is something of a quick primer on Flow Gate versus Locational Marginal Pricing (PJM model). The first portion is a recent article on the two models and where the two camps are heading. The last part is a write up by Randy Berry of ESCA Marketing on the ESCA outlook. I've not edited Randy's comments so you can see what are some of our biases are though ESCA addresses BOTH models in our RTO/ISO systems. Bear in mind these are simply one of our staff members comments, but they at least elucidate some difficult concepts in a reasonable way. This seemed like something some of you might want as background, if it's superfluous to your job, please delete. dsg - Flow Gate vs LMP with R Berry's comments 2 2 2001.doc
