FW: Frontera Resource Plan

FYI,
This morning Ercot asked us to run all three units for a manual OOM. Our Resource plan indicated that our total minimum was 220. I believe that we had a discussion with Ercot indicating that our minimum on a 2 on 1 config was 280. We ran at 280, but our resource plan was not updated. Ercot called mid-morning to say that they only wanted 220. It is possible that we will be punished financially (receive the balancing energy price) for the 60 mw's over their request.

The point is, the Resource Plan is the only thing binding. We must reflect our true minimums at all times. If the situation changes intraday, we need to make changes in the resource plan to reflect what we can actually do.

Please see the e-mail below from Alan.

All,

ERCOT is questioning us the resource plan we put in the MOS, especially the Min/Max MWs for STG001. If we only have one CT running, then the Min/Max for ST would be 58/80 MWs instead of 130/184 MWs. Here is a list of points I got from Frontera for your reference:

1. One CT running:
CTG101 STG001
MW 80 58
MW 100 64
MW 110 66
MW 120 68
MW 130 70
MW 140 74
MW 150 80

2. Both CT's running:
CTG101 CTG201 STG001
MW 80 80 130
MW 100 100 140
MW 110 110 148
MW 120 120 151
MW 130 130 154
MW 140 140 158
MW 150 150 165

If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks.
