For settlements after June 1, 2022, please refer to the Forward Capacity Market (FCM) Reliability Credit.
The Forward Capacity Market (FCM) reliability credit is a payment to resources retained for reliability (RFR) based on the resource's capacity supply obligation (CSO) retained for reliability and the difference between the resource's delist bid price or cost-of-service rate (as approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [FERC]) and the Forward Capacity Auction (FCA) clearing price.
Primary provisions for the Forward Capacity Market reliability charge are included in, but not limited to, Market Rule 1, Section III.13.2.5.2.5 (b).
Reliability credits are paid to a market participant based on the capacity supply obligation megawatts of a resource with an RFR obligation from the FCA.
Reliability credits are paid to a market participant when a resource received capacity supply obligation megawatts in the FCA, requested the megawatts to be prorated, and was denied the request.
