RE: FERC Conference on Market Monitoring in California
? Revised Draft
? Conference Call on Tuesday, January 16th, 2:00 p.m.
(EST), 1-800-937-6563

Based on discussion at our last conference call and follow-up conversations
with some EPSA members, attached is a significantly revised list of Guiding
Principles on Market Monitoring for FERC's staff technical conference on
January 23rd to develop market monitoring procedures for the Cal ISO
markets. The most significant change from the prior draft is that we now
delete any reference to specific price levels that would screen prices in
California and focuses instead why a price-based analysis for market
monitoring is inappropriate, since it fails to account for capacity costs,
opportunity costs and scarcity values.

FERC Staff has asked that EPSA be prepared to make a presentation at the
January 23rd conference, so it is important that we see if there is
consensus on this approach. We will discuss this draft on a conference
call on Tuesday, January 16th at 2:00 p.m. (EST). To access the call,
please dial 1-800-937-6563. Ask for the Julie Simon/EPSA Call. In the
meantime, if you have any questions, concerns or ideas about this effort,
please contact Julie at 202-789-7200 or jsimon@epsa.org before the call.
