Calpine would pay $67,500 under a settlement with Staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas to resolve alleged failures to adhere to Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) Protocols § 8.5.1.1 and ERCOT Operating Guide §§ 2.2.8 and 2.3.1.2, relating to primary frequency response (PFR).

Calpine Corporation is the Resource Entity (RE) that represents the Generation Resources BTE_CC1, BVE_CC1, CAL_CC1, CHE_CC1, DUKE_CC1, GUADG_CC1, NEDIN_CC1, and PSG_CC1.

According to the settlement:

• The Generation Resource BTE_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during one of 27 measurable events during an audit period. During this failed measurable event, BTE_CC1 was providing Responsive Reserve Service (RRS), and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource BVE_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during one of 24 measurable events.

• The Generation Resource CAL_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during one of 22 measurable events. During this failed measurable event, CAL_CC1 was providing RRS, and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource CHE_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during one of 28 measurable events. During this failed measurable event, CHE_CC1 was providing RRS, and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource DUKE_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during one of 12 measurable events. During this failed measurable event, DUKE_CC1 was providing RRS, and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource GUADG_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during three of seven measurable events. In two of the three failed measurable events, GUADG_CC1 was providing RRS, and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource NEDIN_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during four of 27 measurable events. In two of the four failed measurable events, NEDIN_CC1 was providing RRS, and was therefore required to reserve capacity to provide PFR.

• The Generation Resource PSG_CC1 failed to provide adequate PFR during two of 12 measurable events.
