Abstract :
We define transmission rights that are compatible with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission´s proposed standard market design (SMD) and that provide flexibility in the points of receipt or delivery of energy contracts. The contingent transmission rights introduced here provide a viable, flexible method for defining SMD-compatible rights for transmission customers having current (pre-SMD) transmission rights that cover multiple points. These contingent rights can be bought and sold in the transmission rights auctions under SMD.
