Bilateral Trades

The Bilateral Market area in the application has two purposes

1. Public Posting• The Postings area of the application allows you to

post expressions of interest in sales or purchases• Somewhat like Craigslist

2. Submission of Completed Trades• By targeting a trade to another participant and having

that participant confirm the trade, the trade is reported to ERCOT

• Somewhat like a title transfer at the DMV

Public Posting

By choosing the “PUBLIC” option when creating an offer, you are telling the system to publish the offer on the Postings tab

If no other party is designated, the status will be open
