The Texas Energy-Only Resource Adequacy Mechanism
The Electricity Journal, 2006Co-Authors: Eric Schubert, David J Hurlbut, Parviz Adib, Shmuel S. OrenAbstract:On Sept. 13, 2006, the Public Utility Commission of Texas put into effect a new Resource Adequacy and Market Power Rule which establishes an Energy-Only resource adequacy mechanism in the ERCOT electricity market, relaxes the $1,000 per MWh Offer Cap, and replaced existing market mitigation procedures with more market transparency and prompt information disclosure. The authors describe the motivation and rationale underlying the new rule, its development process, and its implementation details. (author)

Resource Adequacy in the "Energy-Only" ERCOT Market
2007 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2007Co-Authors: Shams N. SiddiqiAbstract:This paper describes the history of resource adequacy mechanisms in the electric reliability council of Texas (ERCOT) market and the reasons behind ERCOT stakeholders' decision to continue and refine its "Energy-Only" resource adequacy mechanism. ERCOT's market power mitigation methods have been designed to be consistent with an Energy-Only market. It is important that any mitigation method applied in ISO- or RTO-run day-ahead and real-time energy market not suppress scarcity prices. Also, if there are any system-wide energy Offer Caps in these markets, those Caps must be high enough to encourage long-term bilateral contracting to hedge against exposure to potentially high spot energy prices. ERCOT stakeholders viewed any mandated Capacity market as a regulatory intervention and a subsidy that is likely to lead to greater reliance on regulatory processes to ensure resource adequacy. Finally, the paper describes the market design elements including greater transparency into market behavior, supply and demand forecasts, and higher system-wide Offer Cap that have been adopted in ERCOT to ensure the success of its Energy-Only market.

Integrating gender and gender-based violence into HIV programs. Workshop report February 21-23 2012 Maputo Mozambique.
2020Co-Authors: Houck F, Silva R, Rottach EAbstract:The vision of the Mozambique President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Gender-Based Violence Initiative (GBVI) is to reduce incidence of gender-based violence (GBV) and to create a social and institutional environment that protects women and girls and Offers services of protection and help to survivors. A joint U.S. Government Government of Mozambique and civil society team led and developed the GBVI plan which was informed by a wide stakeholder consultation held in August 2010. The three GBVI objectives are to (1) expand and improve coordination and effectiveness of GBV prevention efforts; (2) improve policy implementation in response to GBV; and (3) improve the availability and quality of GBV services. As part of the PEPFAR GBVI USAID / Mozambique requested HPP assistance to scale up gender-focused community-level HIV prevention activities including GBV prevention. Under this initiative HPP is working closely with USAID / Mozambique and the FHI-360 Capable Partners Program (Cap) to strengthen the Capacity of selected Cap partner NGOs to integrate gender and GBV into their existing HIV programs and services. HPP assembled a team to interview stakeholders and conduct Capacity needs assessments of seven Cap partner NGOs in August 2011. The HPP team drafted a plan to Offer Cap and its partners a comprehensive technical assistance (TA) package. To implement this TA package HPP assembled a technical team to Offer a series of three workshops in Maputo to Cap and its partner organizations in February 2012. This workshop report summarizes the third (final) workshop. The workshop comprised five participatory and interactive modules that enabled the participants to acquire practical skills and apply tools to integrate GBV prevention and responses into existing HIV programs. The training methodologies sought to explicitly reveal the links between GBV and HIV risk and build skills to integrate evidence-based gender and GBV practices into existing HIV programs. The results of the workshop demonstrated the great interest in and need for GBV integration into current programs. It informed development of draft Capacity-strengthening plans for each of the seven participating NGOs and provided a foundation for staff to address gender and GBV in HIV programs. The HPP team will continue to work with Cap and its partner organizations to ensure that the current TA needs are addressed while at the same time enabling some fluidity within the TA component to quickly address any further requests that may emerge as the program moves forward.
