5 Congestion Revenue Rights
Congestion revenue rights auction efficiency 1B became in effect on January 1, 2019. It includes key changes related to the congestion revenue rights settlements process:
- Targeted reduction of congestion revenue rights payouts on a constraint by constraint basis.
- Distribute congestion revenues to the extent that CAISO collected the requisite revenue on the constraint over the month. That is, implement a pro-rata funding for CRRs.
- Allow surpluses on one constraint in one hour to offset deficits on the same constraint in another hour over the course of the month.
- Only distribute surpluses to congestion revenue rights if the surplus is collected on a constraint that the congestion revenue right accrued a deficit, and only up to the full target payment value of the congestion revenue right.
- Distribute remaining surplus revenue at the end of the month, which are associated with constraints that collect more surplus over the month than deficits, to measured demand.
Monthly CRR Revenue
Figure 11 illustrates the daily CRR notional value in the corresponding month for the various transmission elements that experienced congestion during the month. CRR notional value is calculated as the product of CRR implied flow and constraint shadow price in each hour per constraint and CRR.
Figure 11: Daily CRR Notional Value by Transmission Element
Figure 12 illustrates the daily CRR offset value in the corresponding month for the transmission elements that experienced congestion during the month. CRR offset value is the difference between the revenue collected from the congestion CRR. A positive CRR offset value represents surplus and a negative CRR offset value represents shortfall.
The main reasons for CRR offset shortfall are
- The transformer 32214_RIO OSO _115_30330_RIO OSO _230_XF_1A was binding in most days of this month, resulting in offset shortfall of $11.68 million.
- The line 35621_IBM-HR J_115_35642_METCALF _115_BR_1 _1 was binding in 21 days of this month, resulting in offset shortfall of $5.58 million.
The main reasons for CRR offset surplus are
- The line 30060_MIDWAY_500_24156_VINCENT_500_BR_2_3 was binding in 11 days of this month, resulting in offset surplus of $3.02 million.
- MALIN500 was binding in 11 days of this month, resulting in offset surplus of $1.86 million.
- The line 30763_Q0577SS_230_30765_LOSBANOS_230_BR_1_1 was binding in 11 days of this month, resulting in offset surplus of $1.42 million.

Table 8 shows the monthly CRR payments. Net monthly balancing surplus in September was -$7.13 million. The auction revenues credited to the balancing account for September was $9.08 million. As a result, the balancing account for September had a surplus of approximately $1.96 million, which was allocated to measured demand. The Net Monthly Balancing Surplus is calculated as sum of CRR surplus plus CRR daily Balancing account minus total auction revenue. The Total Auction revenue is sum of monthly and annual auction revenue. The Allocation to Measured demand is calculated as sum of Total Auction revenue plus Net Monthly Balancing Surplus.
