IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S
RESPONSES TO THE FIRST
PRODUCTION REQUESTS OF
THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY
TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY
COMES NOW, ldaho Power Company ("ldaho Powe/' or "Company"), and in
response to the First Production Requests of the J. R. Simplot Company to ldaho Power
Company dated February 10,2014, herewith submits the following information:
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REQUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 1
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: Reference the tariff application, stating:
ln addition, this tariff advice adds the word "volume" before
the words "weighted average" to provide additional clarity.
This calculation has always used the volume-weighted
average of the daily on-peak and off-peak Mid-C lndex
prices for non-firm energy to determine the Avoided Energy
Cost. This tariff advice clarifies that the weighted average
used to determine the Avoided Energy Cost is the volume-
weighted average and inserts the term "volume" before
"weighted average" to add clarity to Schedule 86.
Please explain in detail ldaho Power's methodology for volume weighting described in
the quoted passage. Specifically, describe the steps ldaho Power follows to use the
data provided by the index to calculate the market energy price used for the Avoided
Energy Cost. Please provide an example of the calculation for a month by also
providing the documents provided to ldaho Power by the index for that month.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: The response to this
Request is confidential and wil! be provided separately to those parties that have signed
the Protective Agreement in this matter.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Michael Darrington, Senior Energy
Contracts Coordinator, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REQUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 2
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: Please explain whether the Dow Jones
lndex has provided a volume with the non-firm Mid-C index at all times since the IPUC
approved use of the DowJones lndex in Schedule 86 in 1999 in Order No.28033. lf
Dow Jones did not always provide a volume with the non-firm index prices for Mid-C,
please provide the date that Dow Jones began providing a volume.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: The Dow Jones lndex
has reported volume with the non-firm Mid-C index at all times since 1999 when Order
No. 28033 was issued. ldaho Power is aware of one month during that time period
where the reported volumes for the entire month were zero.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Michael Darrington, Senior Energy
Contracts Coordinator, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REQUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 3
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Reference the tariff application, stating:
ln addition, this tariff advice adds the word "volume" before
the words "weighted average" to provide additional clarity.
This calculation has always used the volume-weighted
average of the daily on-peak and off-peak Mid-C lndex
prices for non-firm energy to determine the Avoided Energy
Cost. This tariff advice clarifies that the weighted average
used to determine the Avoided Energy Cost is the volume-
weighted average and inserts the term "volume" before
"weighted average" to add clarity to Schedule 86.
Please state whether or not ldaho Power has employed the described "volume-
weighting" methodology at all times since the IPUC approved use of the Dow Jones
lndex in Schedule 86 in 1999 in Order No.28033. lf not, provide the date that ldaho
Power began volume-weighting the index prices.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: ldaho Power has used
the described volume weighting methodology at all times since the ldaho Public Utilities
Commission ("Commission") approved use of the Dow Jones lndex in Schedule 86 in
Order No. 28033 in 1999, with one exception. ln October 2009, all volume for that
month was reported as zero and volume was not applied correctly in the weighting
calculation, which resulted in an overstated energy rate for that month.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Randy C. A!!phin, Energy
Contracts Leader, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REQUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 4
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: Please provide a list [src/the QFs selling
to ldaho Power for which ldaho Power has employed the proposed volume-weighting
methodology either under /src/ Schedule 86 contract or under surplus energy or other
market pricing provisions in an ldaho Power PURPA contract. lf there are any QFs for
which ldaho Power does not employ the volume weighting methodology to calculate a
market price, please list those QFs and explain the basis for the different treatment.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: Idaho Power applies
volume weighting to all existing Schedule 86 agreements since the time the
Commission issued Order No. 28033 in May 1999 and in all new Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") agreements executed after that date. Prior
to May 1999, Qualifying Facility ("QF") contracts contained surplus energy and pricing
provisions that are different than the market pricing concepts used since May 1999.

Contracts Coordinator, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REOUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 7
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Please provide the IPUC order ldaho
Power relies upon to implement its proposed methodology of volume weighting in
Schedule 86 or other PURPA contracts.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Commission Order No.
28033, issued in May 1999, was the initial Commission order which established the
current practice of using Mid-C market prices for calculating Schedule 86 energy prices.
Since that date, ldaho Power has consistently applied the volume weighting
methodology in this energy price calculation in all applicable QF contracts.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Randy C. Allphin, Energy
Contracts Leader, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REQUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 8
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Please explain what Mid-C Price lndex
ldaho Power uses in provisions of its Open Access Transmission Tariff addressing
Energy lmbalance Service, on file with FERC. If ldaho Power has used different
indexes throughout time, please list each index used and the effective dates of use for
each index. Please also provide the FERC docket numbers where ldaho Power
requested approval of use of each index for purposes of Energy lmbalance Service.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Idaho Power currently
uses the lntercontinental Exchange ('lCE") lndex for calculation of imbalance charges in
ldaho Powe/s Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT"). This was approved in
Federa! Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Docket No. ER07-1172 on July 13,
2007. Idaho Power utilized the Dow Jones Mid-C lndex for imbalances from May 1,
2003, through July 13,2007, as approved in FERC Docket No. ER03-487-O02.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Tess Park, Load Serving
Operations Director, ldaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSES TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION
REOUESTS OF THE J. R. SIMPLOT COMPANY TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 9
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Reference the response to Request No.
6, regarding Energy lmbalance Service. When ldaho Power calculates a market price
under its OATT, does ldaho Power use its volume weighting methodology as proposed
for use in the tariff in this case? !f no, please describe the methodology used to derive
market prices under the OATT. If yes, please provide the FERC filing seeking approval
of the volume-weighting methodology and the FERC order granting use of ldaho
Powe/s volume-weighting methodology.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: ldaho Power utilizes
the lCE Mid-C Index for determination of imbalance penalties in accordance with the
OATT. Monthly volume weighting is not required because the imbalance penalties are
applied to specific hours such that Heavy Load ('HL") hours are charged the HL index
price +/-2 mils and Light Load ('LL") hours are charged the LL index price +l-2 mils at
the appropriate percentage depending on the deviation from their submitted schedule.
The imbalance penalties increase as the volume of the imbalance increases.

METHODOLOGY AND SPECIFICATIONS GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
This statement of methodology for Platts' North American electricity rndexes
and assessments reflects core principles that long have provided the foundation
for Platts'price reporting in North American electricity markets. It also includes
detailed information 0n the submission of price data from market participants.
the formation of indexes and assessments, and the publication of index-related
information, including volumes and deal counts.
Platts' methodology will continue to evolve as electricity markets change. This
update reflects the change in methodology effective January 2, 2014, under
which the PIatts quantitative group rather than Platts editorial derives Platts daily
market-on-close assessments of North American forward power markets known
as the Platts-lCE Fonrvard Curve -Electricity (PFC Electricity). Thas statement of
methodology incorporates price reporting standards that went into effect July 1,
2003. The statement also takes into consideration standards for price reporting
stated in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's July 24, 2003, policy
statement on U.S. eleclricity and gas markets (P103-3).
lf you have questions concerning reporting to Platts 0r our statement of
methodology. orwould like to discuss any prrce reporting issues, please call
or e-mail Mike Wilczek, senior editor for market developmenl,202-383-2246
([e-mail]) or Brian Jordan, editorial director for North American
electricity and gas markets. 202-383-2181 ([e-mail]).
Platts has a 0uality & Risk Management (ORM) function that is independent of
the editorial group. ORM is responsible for ensuring quality and adherence to
Platts' policies, standards, processes and procedures. The 0RM team conducts
regular assessments of editorial operations, including checks for adherence to
published methodologies
Platts discloses publicly the days of publication of its price assessments
and indices, and the times during each trading day in which Platts considers
transactions in determining its assessments and index levels. The dates of
publication and the assessment periods are subject to change in the event of
outside circumstances that affect Platts'ability to adhere to its normal publication
schedule. Such circumstances include network outages, power failures, acts of
tenorism and other siluations that result in an intenuption in Platts' operations
at one or more of its worldwide offices. ln the event that any such circumstance
occurs, Platts will endeavor, whenever feasible, to communicate publicly any
changes to its publication schedule and assessmenl periods, with as much
advance notice as possible.
This description of methodology for electricity indexes and assessments rn North
America is divided into six major parts (l-Vl) that parallel the entire process of
producing the benchmarks.
Part I describes what goes into Platts electricity benchmarks, including
details on what market participants are expected to submit and the process
for submitting data as well as the components of published data.
Part ll describes the security and confidentiality practices
that Platts uses in handling and treating data, including the
separation between Platts price reporting/index creation and its
newsgathering and reporting.
Part lll is a detailed account of what Platts does with the data to formulate
its electricity indexes and assessments, and includes descriptions of the
statistical and editorial tools Platts uses to convert raw data into indexes
and assessments. This section describes the process for screening outliers
and the criteria for determining which daily benchmarks are indexes based
on v0lume-weighted averages and which are assessments based on
reported transactions and other market information. Part lll also describes
how Platts creates indexes and assessments for various products other than
next-day eleclricity trades.
Part lV lays out the verification and correction process for revising
published prices and the criteria Platts uses to determine when it
publishes a correction.
Part V explains the process for verifying that published prices comply with
Platts' standards
Part Vl is a list of detailed definitions of the trading locations for whrch
Platts publishes daily indexes or assessments.
PABT l: DATA 0UALIW
AND DATA SUBMISSION
Platts'standards for data quality are at lhe heart of its process to produce reliable
indexes and assessments and are designed to ensure that market participants
provide complete and accurate information.
To that end, Platts requires formalized reporting relationships with market
participants in which data is submitted from a central point in the mid- or
back-office. lf the reporting entity chooses. Platts will sign a standard
confidentrality agreement protecting the submitted data. A copy of the
standard agreement is available upon request. The data provider must certify
that it is making a good-faith effort to report completely and accurately, and
will have staff assigned to respond to questions concerning data submittals.
ln addition, reporting entities, in cases of enor or omission, have an obligation
to make reasonable efforts to inform Platts and, as necessary, modify their
internal processes to eliminate or minimize the likelihood of future errors or
omissions in their data submissions.
Data submitted to Platts must be detailed, transaction-level data. Below is a
summary of what should be reported. (A suggested format for reports for Platts
electricity and natural gas price surveys is also available; to receive a copy, e-mail
electricityprice@pl atts.com )
r Report each business day all fixed-price physical and financial deals for
delivery in North America
JANUABY 2014
MEIHODOLOGY AND SPECIFICAIIONS GUIDE
Beport the price at which the two parties agreed to transact. Do not add
estimated transmission cost to make the transaction fit one of Platts'
delivery location definitions.
Label deals for delivery at locations not defined or reported by Platts
using the name of the control area. tie point or congestaon managemenl
zone. Examples would include power for delivery to lS0 New England's
Connecticut zone and the West Wing substation in the Phoenix area.
Although Platts may not currently assess those locations, i{ sufficient trading
develops al a location and is sustained, Platts would be able lo add that
pricing point to its daily indexes. (Definitions for the locations for which
indexes and assessments are currently published are in Part Vl of this
methodology statement.) ln addition, information on deals al those points
adds to Platts' understanding of the market and aids Platts in assessing
thinly traded points in that geographic area.
List all transactions individually and with the following information: location,
trade date, start flow date, end flow date, shape (peak or off-peak), deal
type {physical or financial), firm or non-firm, price ($/MWh), volume (MW),
side of kansaction (buy or sell), counterparty name, and intermediary name
(broker or trading platform).
Market participants remain divided on the question of counterparties,
and Platts for now will accept data that does not include counterparty
information. Platts firmly believes that counterparty information is the best
srngle way to verify transactions. Platts encourages market participants that
are not already doing so to initiate changes to agreemenls that currently
prevent them from reporting counterparties. Some companies already
provide this information, and Platts will continue to press for it.
Deals should be reported only for transactions done that day. The
cutotf Jor all transactions is 2.30 p.m. Eastern Prevailing Time. The
cutoff time applies to the time a trade was transacted, not the time
the trade is entered into the company's syslem. Do not include "early"
daily deals done after the cutoff on the previous day. Platts considers
these transactions to be non-standard deals done before the opening of
the market. There is no formal close to the overthe-counter electricity
markets, so we have selected 2:30 p.m EPT. The 2:30 closing time for
transactions that are included in a daily rep0rt ensures that all deals
are captured and reported; the end of daily trading in the marketplace in
practice is earlier than 2:30 EPT because of scheduling deadlines and the
expiration of daily options. For New York over-the-counter markets, which
are financial swaps, the cutoff is the release of the independent system
operat0r's day-ahead market-clearing prices.
Platts will, for the foreseeable future. include deals done after options
expiration in its daily indexes and assessments, as long as those deals are
priced within the range of the bulk of the day's trading. Platts an the past
has attempted to exclude all deals done after options expiration because of
the low level of trading activity and liquidrty in most markets after options
expiration, and the concern that such low liquidity would mean trades done
after expiration were transacted under distressed conditions that could
result in non-comparable prices. However, the lack of time stamps that
would identify after-options trades makes it difficult to identify such trades
in a straightfonrvard and consistent manner. Platts believes that it would be
preferable to exclude post-options trading, but until time-stamp information
is available, Platts will eliminate the impact of such potentially "distressed"
deals through its procedure for eliminating outliers. That process is
described in detail in Part lll.
I Platts will continue to push for time stamps to allow our editors to identify
deals that were done after daily options expiration, as well as match up
transaction information we receive from various market participants. ln
addition, time stamps also would provide Platts with a clearer picture of
the movement of prices through the trading period and provide another tool
for evaluating the quality 0f the data. Platts understands that many market
participants are currently unable to provide time stamps because deals are
entered into trading systems in bulk after trading is completed rather than
as each transaction occurs.
Beports of each day's deals should be compiled and sent to Platts by a non-
commercial department of the company. Generally the reporting function
is the responsibility of the mid- or back-office. Even in the case of small
entities, FERC's standards state that prices should be provrded by individuals
"separate from trading activities" such as accounting or bookkeeping staff.
Platts values the participation in its surveys of smaller market participants
that may not have formal back-office or risk-management groups and will
discuss with them ways to meet Platts and FERC standards for assuring the
quality of data provided to Platts.
Platts should be provided at least two contacts (with phone numbers and
e-mail addresses for both) who are responsible for submissions and can
answer questions about transactions reported to Platts.
lndividuals compiling reports in the mid- or back-office should make certain
that all transactions done by the trading desk have been entered into the
system before the report rs submitted to Platts.
Beports should be sent electronically in erther Excel or CSV (comma
separated values) format. Platts can provide reporting entitjes with a sample
Excel sheet showing the prefened format and the information needed for
each transaction.
Reports should be sent to [e-mail] each day by
4:30 p.m EPT.
Reporting entities should be prepared in the rare cases of e-mail
malfunctions to fax submissions to Platts. Our fax numbers are 713-658-
3240 for our Houston market reporting team and 202-383-2023 for our
Washington market reporting group.
lf a reporting entity is unable to compile the needed information by the
deadline set by Platts on a given day. it should notify Platts editors of the
delay and the length of the delay by either e-mail or phone. This will help
Platts editors decide whether to wait for the submission.

PART ll: SEGURIW AND C0NFIDENTIALITY
Platts has a long history of keeping price data secure and confidential. There are
two key aspects to ensurrng the security and confidentiality of data: the security of
the information technology systems and policres on access lo data. Following is a
description of Platts' processes.
Price data is e-mailed to a specrfic Platts e-mail address, electricityprice@
platts.com. E-mails to that address enter a secure network protected by
firewalls and are accessible only by market edrtors. Encryption is available
up0n request of the reporting company.
A senior market editor does an initial screening of data submissions and
then distributes the relevant data to market editors who specialize in
specific regions and market hubs.
The data is then entered into a proprietary software system designed
specifically to store and analyze trade data.
Data is stored in a secure network, and under internal procedures audited
and enforced by a Platts compliance officer. is kept for a period of at
least three years.
The compliance audit checks for adherence to the parameters set forth in
the Platts Compliance Plan, which seeks to ensure that accurate records are
kept. in order to document a market reporters research. All U.S. electricity
market reporters undergo audits at leasl twice a year.
Data is protected under formal confidentiality agreements signed by data
providers and Platts.
Price data is used only for constructing indexes and assessments. Platts
has a strict internal policy, reflected in its confidentiality agreements, of
never using individual price data for news reporting purposes. Nor do Platts
news reporters have access to individual entities' transaction reports. Data
aggregated from all reporting sources - e.9., changes in prices and trading
volumes over time - may be used as the basrs for news stories.
PART lll: CALCULATING INDEXES
AND MAKING ASSESSMENTS
Platts editors produce indexes and assessments of the next-day trading market. For
daily trading hubs where there is sufficient liquidity, market editors use volume-
weighted averages to calculate an index value.
For each daily index, Platts publishes the index price, the change from the previous
day, the low, the high, the volume, the number of transactions the index is based
on, and the running average for lhe index price for the month. lndex prices. lows.
and hrghs are expressed in $/MWh The daily change is expressed in dollars The
volume in expressed in megawatts (MW) across the on-peak or off-peak period,
rather than in megawatt hours. For instance, if ten 50-MW on-peak deals are
reported, the volume would be expressed as 500 MW, rather than the equivalenl
value of 8,000 [/Wh (ten 50-MW deals multiplied by 16 hours).
Prior to calculating a volume-weighted average, Platts editors go through the critical
process of analyzing the transactional data for potential mistakes made by data
providers as well as for outliers. Editors have a number of statistical and journalistic
tools available to them in scrubbing the raw data for errors and outliers.
ln the beginning of the process the editor weeds out non-standard-size deals.
Standard-size packages are multiples of 25 MW.
Non-standard-size deals are automatically excluded, regardless of where they fall
in the range of trading. There often are special considerations attached to odd-sized
deals that can affect price.
Platts uses customized spreadsheets for data analysrs that display the distribulion
of the deals and flag deals more than two standard deviations from the mean. ln
addition, deals submitted that are outside what the editor has seen as the range of
trading are flagged as questionable.
Transactions at prices more than two standard deviations from the mean are not
necessarily deals done out of market or inaccurately reported deals. Platts often
handles sets of data that are not normally distributed around the mean. This so-called
"skew" of the normal distribution reflects normal market activity on a given day and
means that some deals outside two standard deviations from the mean should be
included in calculating the volume-weighted average to determine the index value.
After the initial flagging of outliers, Platts uses a number 0f tests to determine if a
deal should be eliminated lf the deal fails these tests, it will be excluded from the
calculation used to determine the final index.
0n page 6 are two examples of how Platts editors determined whether to eliminate
a deal when calculating an index based on a volume-weighted average. As the
examples demonstrate, among the considerations or tests used to make that
determination are.
The direction and magnitude of the skew for the set of data, compared with
how far out of the range of tvvo standard deviations the deal is.
An explanation based on market fundamentals for the "outlier" nature of the
deal; the explanation must hold for deals other than the potential outlier. For
example, a run-up in prices during the latter part of daily trading caused by an
unplanned generation outage would provide an explanation based on market
fundamentals for deals near the high end of the distribution, including those
just inside two standard deviations from the mean and those just outside.
lnformation that would demonstrate the deal was distressed, such as credit
issues for either counterparty, or the fact that the deal was done after the
expiration of daily options.
The completeness of the set of transaction-specific information reported
with the deal, including buy/sell and counterparty name.
r lnformation from another reporting party that verifies the deal; for example,
the reporting of the deal by a named counterparty.
The following examples are hypothetical and do not include actual data provided
b\/ Platts sources. However, each example reflects characteristics of data sets
commonly seen by Platts electricity market editors.

ln this example the editor has a set of 50 next-day deals with a range of $5.25, and one outlier beyond trruo standard deviations from the mean. That single outlier
is $2.25 lower than the next-lowest deal.
Using the list of "tests" or considerations applied to outliers (see above), there are several that weigh on the side of including the deal. lt is a standard-volume
transaction. There is considerable deal-making on the outliers side 0f the mean. The data set also has a negative skew which causes low deals to be further from the
mean. This causes our use of two standard deviations from the mean to identify outliers to give more room on the high side and less room on the low side. ln addition,
the source is in good standing.
However. there are other considerations that weigh toward discarding the deal. When the reporter calls to check the deal, the source verifies that the deal
was done after options. The reporter was already aware that deals were done at that lower level after the expiration of daily options. The status of the deal
as an after-options transaction and the great disparity between it and the other deals in our sample strongly indicate this could be a distressed deal-market
conditions were substantially different after options on this day in this market. Those reasons would lead Platts to discard the deal. The decision to cut the deal
would raise the volume-weighted index by 7 cents to $44.77lMWh.

ln this example the editor has a smaller data set of l0 transactions. The first consideration here is that Platts is handling a limited set of data. lt fulfills the
requirement of at least five deals, and they are all standard-size packages, but the number of transactions is relatively small. For smaller samples, statistical
measures like the standard deviation are less meaningful, and therefore are not given as much weight by editors relative to when they are handling larger
samples (like example 1). The magnitude of a deal's outlier nature logically canies less weight in a small sample.
A second consideration: The outlier is the minimum-size standard package for its market. A larger package size would increase the impact of the single
transaction on the volume-weighted index.
The gap between the outlier and the next-highest-priced deal is limited to $1.00. ln addition, the nexthighest deal is reported by a different source. providing
conoboration of trading activity on the high side of the data set.
The editor has no information that the deal was done after the expiration of daily options, and a call to the source confirms that the deal was not done after
options. Although there is no matching price from another source, and there is no counter-party information, the other considerations w6igh toward retaining the
deal as part of the data set. The deal appears to have been accurately reported, and the list of tests weighs toward including the transaction. lt is retained. and
the inclusion of the deal leaves us a volume-weighted average at $43.78/MWh, 17 cents higher than it would have been if the deal had been discarded.
maxrmum
JANI.-JARY 2014
METHODOLOGY AND SPECIFICATIONS GUIDE NOBTH AMERICAN ELECIBICITY
One other factor that Platts takes into consideration when deciding whether to
exclude an outlier is the record of the data-submitting entity concerning data
quality. Deals from reporting entities that consistently report fully and accurately
are given greater credence.
The most credible market participants are those that:
r Beport electronically from a non-commercial department of the company,
such as the back office or risk group.
r Submit full reports of all deals in North America, for both the Eastern
and Western interconnections, as well as both physical and financial
transactions.
r Report all deals at the transaclion level and provide all necessary descriptive
information including buy/sell indicator and counterparty name.
Make sure that the contacts designated lo answer inquiries on data
submissions are easily accessible and responsive to inquiries by Platts
editors.
Report every day and on time, and when problems arise that prevent
reporting on time, notify Platts of the delay in a timely fashion.
Barely make errors in data submissions and follow up quickly when errors
are made.
Submit reports that include iew outliers, and provide explanations for any
outliers at the time when the outliers are reported.
For trading locations with very limited liquidity, Platts strongly believes it is better
to publish an assessment rather than allow one or two market players to set the
index based on very limited dealmaking. For that reason, Platts assesses such
illiquid points using transactions, differentials to other locations, physical bid/ask
spreads, derivatives trading and other information.
Platts clearly indicates when it assesses a daily electricity market ratherthan
calculating an index based on a volume-weighted average. Assessments are
indicated by an "NA" {not applicable) in the volume column
Platts believes such assessments for low-liquidity markets allow editors to provide
a value that rs more representative and reflective of the market than a volume-
weighted average determined by a very limited number of market parlicipants.
Platts editors assess daily markets when eilher of two conditions applies:
r (1 ) There are fewer than five individual transactions reported for a given
location.
r (2) The number o{ reporting entities providing transaction-level data is fewer
than three.
A trading location must meet both of these thresholds before an index determined
by the volume-weighted average will be calculated. These are the minimum
thresholds, and Platts editors may decide on a case-by-case basis to assess a
market even when these minimum standards are met if there is concern that a
large, dominant market participant can effectively set a volume-weighted average.
Platts will not allow one or two market participants to set an index value.

ln this example the editor has a data set that fails to meet one of the three thresholds for using a volume-weighted average to calculate an index. There are flve
transactions totaling 300 MW (which meets the thresholds of five deals and 250 MW) but only two sources of data (compared with the threshold minimum of
three), so Platts will assess this market based on the deals reported as well as other market information.
This other information includes, but is not limited to, bids and offers gathered through discussions with traders and other sources and recent locational spreads
between this market and a more-liquid adjacent market.
ln this example there is no congestion between this location and the most liquid adjacent market. The daily market being assessed has been pricing about $2
above the more liquid adlacent market, which has a volume-weighted average 0f $39 80/N/W
The mid-market level from bids and offers is slightly above the $41.80 assessment based strictly on the spread to the more-liquid adjacent market.
ln this example the volume-weighted average, based only 0n the deals reported by the two sources, would have been $42lMWh. 0ne of the deals is a 100-MW
deal at $39/MWh; the others were all 50-MW packages done at higher prices.
The editor assesses this market at $41.7slMwh based on three factors: the spread to the more-liquid adlacent market. the mid-market of the bids and offers, and
the volume-weighted average of the limited amount of reported transactions.
6JANUARY 2014
METHODOLOGY AND SPECIFICATIONS GUIDE
Below is an example of how Platts editors delermine an assessment in a low-
liquidity market. Like the earlier examples, this example is hypothetical and does
not include actual data provided by Platts sources. However, it reflects the general
characteristics of data sets commonly seen by Platts eleckicity market editors in
cases in which they assess daily markets.
lndexes and assessments are also formulated for weekends for standard packages
in various regions. ln the Eastern lnterconnection. for trading hubs within the
lS0 New England, the New York lS0, the ontario lndependent Electricity System
0perator, the PJM lnterconnection and the Midwest lndependent Transmission
System 0perator, on-peak indexes and assessments for standard non-holiday
weekends are formulated based on 2x1 6 packages traded Friday for delivery during
on-peak hours Saturday and Sunday. Off-peak indexes and assessments are based
on 2xB packages traded Friday for off-peak hours Saturday and Sunday. Single-day
packages may be used to assess the value of these packages in the absence of
reported transacti0ns for two-day packages. However, final assessments will be
the same for both Saturday and Sunday. Single-day deals will not be included wrth
two-day packages in a volume-weighted index. Mixing single-day packages with
two-day packages is avoided for the same reason Platts does not mix on-peak and
aroundthe-clock packages in a day-ahead assessment.
For the US Southeast, the Electric Reliability Councrl of Texas (EBCOT),
the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and for other trading hubs in the Eastern
lnterconnection that are not part of an lS0, for standard non-holiday weekends,
Platts formulates its off-peak assessments and indexes for the weekend based
on transacli0ns traded Friday for delivery during off-peak hours Saturday
through Monday, known as 3xB packages. 0n-peak assessments for standard
weekends for these trading hubs, like other Eastern and Central hubs, are
based on 2x16 packages.
ln the West. Saturday is normally part of a Friday and Saturday package. Single-day
deals are not included in the volume-weighted index of either day, and assessments
for the trvo days are the same. Sunday power iE traded in the West for delivery
around-the-clock as a package with the Monday off-peak deals. The price lor
Sunday will be equal to that of the Monday off-peak. Again, no single-day deals
wrll be included in these calculations.
ln addition. Sunday on-peak and Sunday off-peak will be assessed separately from
the standard around-the-clock Sunday and off-peak Monday package.
In all regions, these standard weekend packages are changed to reflect the
market practice of altering standard weekend packages to accomm0date holidays
and to avoid splitting a weekend package between two months. When weekend
packages are altered because of holidays, indexes and assessments are based on
the standard holiday packages and single-day packages are not included in lhe
volume-weighted indexes.
Platts changed its methodology for standard near-term packages {balance-of-the-
week. balance-of-the-month and next-week) effective December 1, 2005 to make its
coverage more complete and consistent. Platts publishes an assessed range (low-
high assessment) for those standard packages based on reported transactions. lf
there is only one transaction reported, the assessed range will be created by adding
a minimum 50-cent range around the transaction. lf no transactions are reported,
Platts may elect to publish an assessed range based on bid/offer information,
locational spreads, and other market information.
Physical electricity is agreed to be delivered either on firm or a nonJirm basis.
Firm power assessed by Platts is firm with liquidated damages. ln the Western US
interconnection Platts also assess power for non-firm delivery.
Under the firm LD contract language failure to deliver results in the seller having to
pay damages. Non-firm electricity conlracts allow for non-delivery withoul penalty
under conditions described in the contract and generally trades at a discount to firm
LD power. Common types of nonJirm delivery terms are: generation contingent,
transmission contingent and system contingent.
PART lV: C0RRECTI0NS
Platts makes every effort to verify the accuracy of prices based on the information
il has when it makes final determinalions of indexes and assessments at the end of
the day. As descrrbed in Part lll, Platts editors routinely contact data providers about
transactions that appear questionable and may request supporting information, such
as counterparty, to verify the deal.
ln cases where editors cannot obtain a satrsfactory answer to their questions about
an individual or series of transactions, or where they see indications of a possible
pattern of questionable deals, they may choose to take their concerns to the entity's
chref risk officer or comparable senior official. lf editors still cannot resolve their
concerns, they may opt to exclude the entity from participating in Platts'price
surveys until senior company management provides sufficient reassurance that the
entity is responsibly reporting accurate data.
Platts is committed to promptly correcting any material enors in published prices
that result from human or computational mistakes. When corrections are made
because of such errors, they are limited to corrections to data that was available
when the index or assessment was calculated.
Because it is extremely important that Platts' indexes and assessments provide
certainty, Platts' policy long has been not lo revise prices after the fact for reasons
other than human or computational enors. ln particular, Platts cannot revise indexes
or assessmenls in cases where market participants submit new, as opposed to
corrected, information that they want included in the published prices. Allowing
such revisions could open Platts to a never-ending revision process as markel
participants continually come fonivard with more data.
Errors in data submissron discovered within 10 business days following the
submrssion should be brought to the attention of the appropriate Platts editor
- listed in the introduction of this methodology - as soon as possible. Data
providers should have price-reporting processes in place that identrfy enors in
data submittals within that 10-day period. Data providers are not expected to
monitortransactions beyond that 10-day period for purposes of reporting errors in
submittals to Platts, with one important exception. ln cases in which a problem in
JANUARY 2014
METHODOLOGY AND SPECIFICATIONS GUIDE
a data providers reporting system has caused discrepancies between what it has
reported to Platts and what is in its books and records, the data provider should
notify Platts as soon as possible of the systemic problem, and steps being taken to
correct it, regardless of the time elapsed.
Enors that data providers should report to Platts are limited to inaccuracies in the
attributes {price, volume, location, etc.) at the time the transaction was done and
reported to PIatts, and do not include operationally driven, after-the-fact changes
in the nature of the transaction. For instance, if an interruption in transmission
service forces two counterparties to alter flows and delivery points, Platts does not
consider those changes to be corrections so long as the price, volume, and location
information originally reported to Platts accurately reflected those attributes at the
time the trade was made and reported to Platts.
lf Platts is notified of an error in a submissron after a price is calculated and
published, editors will determine the nature of the enor, whether the erroneous
data was used in calculating an index or making an assessment, the impact of
the enoneous data if it was used, and whether Platts had in hand other data
conoborating that the data should not have been included.
The impact of the error also will be considered. lf the removal of the data fails to
make a material change in the index or assessment, no correction will be made.
ln defining what constitutes a material change, in cases of computational and
human errors on the part of Platts or data providers, Platts will consider three
primary factors: the percentage change in the index 0r assessment; the number of
business days since the price in question was published; and lhe liquidity of the
trading point as reflected in the volumes reported to Platts.
For example, an error resulting in a change of greater than 2% that is discovered
within five business days of publication of a price for a high-liquidity point would be
deemed material; an error resulting in a change of less than 0.5% that is discovered
more than 15 days after publication of a price for a low-liquidity point would be
deemed immaterial.
ln addition to the three principal factors used to determine materialily, Platts will
also consider other measures of the magnitude of the error, including. the absolute
change in the price; the change in the range {low trade and high trade); the change
in an index as a percentage of the range; the number of sources represented in
the published price; the volume represented in the published price and the volume
affected by the error; and the number of deals represented in the published price
and the number of deals affected by the enor.
