What the Paper Does • Policy framework to be used in developing NOPR • Preliminary decisions subject to further comment • Does not address scope and governance issues
Outline of the Paper • Updated single transmission tariff • New flexible transmission service • Energy and operating reserves markets • Market power monitoring and mitigation
Updated Single Tariff • All transmission service under one tariff • New OATT updated for SMD and comparability • Phased implementation • First phase-interim changes to improve the OATT • Second phase- SMD
New Transmission Service • New network service available to all customers • Access to all sources and sinks • Price certainty with transmission rights • Congestion charges w/o transmission rights • Locational marginal pricing (LMP) for congestion management • Transmission service scheduling integrated with energy markets • Network access charge to recover embedded costs
Energy Markets • Day-ahead market • Voluntary, bid-based, security-constrained • Financially binding • Real-time market • Bid-based, security constrained • Used to settle all imbalances • Supply and demand resources participate
Operating Reserves • Markets for operating reserves • Bilateral arrangements and self-schedules • Bid-based day-ahead and real time markets • Operated together with energy and transmission markets
Monitoring and Mitigation • Market rules should enhance competition • Preventative mitigation measures built into market rules • Role of the Market Monitoring Unit • Independent of RTO management • Focus on withholding and market efficiency
State Participation in RTO Activities • Formal role for state participation in RTO process • Advisory committees • Rate issues
System Security • OATT will state requirement to comply with appropriate standards for system security and reliability • Recommendations of President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board • Standards may be developed by other organizations
Next Steps • Release working paper • Comments on working paper – 3/27 • Address allocation of embedded costs and transmission rights • Address implementation issues • Staff strawman SMD tariff • NOPR with tariff by summer
