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 reason for CRR offset surplus is
- MONAIPPDC_ITC was binding in one day of this month, resulting in offset surplus of $4.84 million.
The main reasons for CRR offset shortfall are
MALIN500_ISL was binding in 19 days of this month, resulting in offset shortfall of $19.16 million. MALIN500_ISL was dearted throughout this month due to various outages discussed in previous section.
The nomogram 7820_TL23040_IV_SPS_NG was binding in 15 days of this month, resulting in offset shortfall of $3.76 million. This nomogram was enforced for the operating procedure 7820.

Table 8 shows the monthly CRR payments. Net monthly balancing surplus in July was -$1.33 million. The auction revenues credited to the balancing account for July was $8.25 million. As a result, the balancing account for July had a surplus of approximately $6.93 million, which was allocated to measured demand. The Net Monthly Balancing Surplus is calculates 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.
