Guideline: Dispatch data, timing & updates
continued
A loads must update dispatch data for future hours, before
10 minutes to the hour, to reflect its best estimate of
consumption capability.
• Submit data for any hour where load expects to be
consuming
• the energy bid quantity should reflect its average value
when up
• reserve offer should reflect its minimum dispatchable
consumption during the hour, or zero if self dispatching
(bidding its entire energy quantity at $2000)
• reserve offers may be re‐submitted when in normal state
