It seems that PNM is charging an unreasonable amount for losses. Is there any way we could address this.

Thanks,
Holden

Guys-

FYI -- Public Service Company of New Mexico charges ancillary as follows:

Schedule 1 Scheduling, System Control, and Dispatch Services - $0.047 per MWh
Schedule 2 Reactive Supply and Voltage Control - $0.066 per MWh
Schedule 9 Loss Compensation Service - $3.00 per MWh. This $3 is based on a $100 market price x 3%. I have disputed this charge, arguing that the market (and as you mentioned the Cap) is well below $100.00. I should be hearing from them soon and I will let you know when I do. That could bring down your total ancillary cost from July 2001 going forward.
New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax - 5.75% of gross charges for the month. This taxes applied to all schedules that remain within New Mexico. )For example from Four Corners to San Juan).


Attached is a spreadsheet outlining this month's charges as of today (not accounting for any changes that may come in response to my dispute).

Let me know if you have any questions.
