When it goes live in March 2014, SPP's Integrated Marketplace will provide net benefits to members of up to $100 million annually. Integrated Marketplace will reduce total energy costs through centralized unit commitment while maintaining reliable operations, and it will allow additional price assurance capability prior to real-time. The Marketplace will also include new markets for Operating Reserve (Ancillary Services) to support implementation of a Consolidated Balancing Authority and faciliate reserve sharing. |
