What will be sold as a non-firm transmission product during EEA2?

The appropriate selection refers to the Capacity Benefit Margin, which is considered a non-firm transmission product during an Energy Emergency Alert Level 2 (EEA2).

During EEA2, the reliability of the electric grid is compromised, and the system may be unable to meet the demand for energy using firm resources. The Capacity Benefit Margin represents the reserve capacity available that can be used to mitigate the effects of this reliability concern. It allows for additional capacity to be sold, even in non-firm conditions, as it can provide a buffer during peak demand periods or unexpected outages.

Non-firm products are those that do not guarantee delivery, and the Capacity Benefit Margin fits this profile perfectly, as its availability can be conditional and subject to system reliability conditions.

Other options, while potentially relevant in different contexts, do not align with the classification of a non-firm transmission product during EEA2. For instance, Load Shedding Capacity deals with the amount of load that can be curtailed to maintain system stability, Emergency Power Sources are standby resources meant to provide power in emergencies but are typically seen as firm due to their expected availability, and Reactive Power Support is more about voltage control and grid stability rather than capacity sold as a product.
