The Coordinated Transaction Scheduling Project

Difficult to economically schedule energy transactions between ISO’s

50% of the real-time Transactions are uneconomic

For 2 years, NYISO and PJM worked on CTS improvements

Deployment is scheduled for 4th Q of 2014

Will significantly improve the economic scheduling of energy between PJM and NYISO

Change is expected to provide Millions in consumer savings for energy

11

CTS Improvements

Improves the tools participants use to schedule transactions between PJM and NY

Reduces requirement to submit a transaction 1 ¼ hour time ahead of the schedule to only ¼ hour

Eliminates the need for participants to forecast the economic flow order and purchase energy from one ISO before scheduling into the other.

CTS schedules based on a price margin between PJM and NYISO

Schedules are for 15 minutes of flow instead of the full hour

Should increase usage, price convergence, and reduce production / consumer costs
