FW:

We were down balanced in excess of what we were willing to pay, as indicated by our bidding structure. It seems that their software is not recognizing our bids.
Our Ercot Rep, Mark Patterson is looking into this.
We will dispute down balancing bills for the labor day weekend, as this problem persisted every day.

Thanks,
JMF

Mark/ Pat,

Please see the attached file.

It includes a screen print of the xml price curve and the deployment message.

In my conversation with Pat Moast this weekend, I am concerned that we are getting deployed when we should not be.
Today, (i.e. - 9/1/ 2001) the market clearing prices have been approximately $14 (1300HE) to $24 (1200HE) and we have been
getting deployed. According to Allgowed at the Real-Time Desk at Ercot, we are getting the MCP when we are deployed.
This brings up two questions.

First, should we be getting deployed based on our Price Curve (see attachment for an example)?

Secondly, are we getting the MCP or the Bid price within the Price Curve?

Please contact us asap to rectify the problem.

Sincerely,
Joe Capassso
