• FAQ-89:
  Is it possible to access auction data related to bids for academic research?
  
  The auction process is highly confidential and we would not be able to release any of the requested data. The auctions of AEP Ohio’s Competitive Bidding Process (“CBP”) are held pursuant to an electric security plan filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“Commission”). The Commission modified and approved AEP Ohio’s current electric security plan in its Order of February 25, 2015 in Case No. 13-2385-EL-SSO. After each auction pursuant to the CBP, the Commission has issued an Order to grant indefinite protection to ensure confidentiality of the auction data, including the bids submitted.

• FAQ-62:
  How will any incremental costs related to PJM’s Capacity Performance Product, if approved by the FERC, need to be incorporated into bids?
  
  On December 12, 2014, PJM filed reforms to the Reliability Pricing Market (“RPM”) in regards to the Capacity Performance Product in Docket ER15-623. Additionally, on April 10, 2015, PJM filed a response to FERC’s letter dated March 31, 2015 that informed PJM that its initial proposal was deficient and requested additional information. In this response, PJM is requesting that the FERC accept the reforms effective April 1, 2015 as initially proposed, so that PJM can implement these changes for the 2018/2019 Base Residual Auction.
  
  Neither the Auction Manager nor AEP Ohio can comment on this product or when it will be implemented. Bidders and SSO Suppliers are entirely responsible for investigating potential market changes in PJM and for any other circumstances or factors that may affect their evaluation of providing full requirements to AEP Ohio’s SSO customers. As stated in the Recitals of the Master Standard Service Offer (“SSO”) Supply Agreement, “each SSO Supplier will satisfy its Capacity obligations under the PJM Agreements associated with its respective SSO Supplier Responsibility Share in accordance with the PJM Agreements, including, without limitation, through participation in the base residual auction and incremental auctions administered by PJM.”
  
  Additionally, please see Paragraph 3.1(d), which states “during the Term, each SSO Supplier is responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for any changes in PJM products and pricing required for the delivery of its SSO Supplier Responsibility Share, including all other costs and expenses related to transmission and Ancillary Services in connection with the provision of SSO Supply in proportion to its SSO Supplier Responsibility Share, except for any changes to products or the pricing of such products that are the responsibility of AEP Ohio pursuant to Section 3.2.” Thus, to the extent that PJM introduces a change to its capacity market structure in the form of a Capacity Performance Product or in some other manner, SSO Suppliers are responsible for any increase or decrease in capacity costs that would result.

• FAQ-56:
  Did AEP Ohio participate in the ARR allocation process for delivery year 2015/16? If so, will SSO Suppliers get the ARR credits? Did AEP Ohio use AEPOhio_Residual_AGG as the sink? Could you please provide the nominated paths? Will AEP Ohio transfer the nomination rights to SSO suppliers for the ARR allocation process for delivery year 2016/17?
  
  Yes, AEP Ohio participated in the ARR allocation process on behalf of SSO Suppliers for the SSO Load procured in the 1st and 2nd ESP III Auctions for delivery year 2015/16. SSO Suppliers will get the ARR credit for this delivery year. AEPOhio_Residual_AGG  was used as the sink. AEP Ohio will transfer the nomination right to SSO Suppliers that win tranches of the 24-month and 36-month products so they can participate in the ARR allocation process for delivery years 2016/17 and 2017/18 (if applicable). No data regarding the ARR allocation process will be provided at this time.
