  2. WIAB Test Plan V2.0 • Current draft posted on the ISAS August meeting for review • Very preliminary draft went to the OC as a “We are working on one and this is what we have so far” • Basic concept • Not all requirements can be tested • Test will be conducted in parallel with production • Should last ~2-4 hours • New transaction, and adjustments will be coordinated between Source, Sink and TP • Requires a minimum: Two Adjacent BA’s where one is the Source and one is the Sink BA, TP between the two BA’s, one PSE, and the RC (for WECC Net posting)

  3. WIAB Test Plan V2.0 cont… • Outstanding issues • Is an Attestation required? • If yes, to whom (ISAS, OC, WECC, ????) • Are there any requirements for entities to retain hard copies? • For 2013, the lucky entities are Idaho Power, BPA Transmission Service and BPA Power Services. • The 2014 test will be conducted sometime late September or early October • Results shared in the January 2014 ISAS meeting
