ReasonCurrent margin adder is excessive given the level of risk provided by the market and is well in excess of margin requirements of other markets. For instance, a Congestion Revenue Right (CRR) that is purchased for $0.10/MW will be margined $10.00 in ERCOT ($87,600 annually). That comparable CRR would be margined approximately $0.23 in the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) market and even less in the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) market.
