Agenda • 1. What is the function of the NEPOOL GIS • 2. Development of the GIS Operating Rules • 3. GIS Overview - Accounting for Loads • 4. GIS Overview - Generation Attributes • 5. GIS Overview - Imports/Exports • 6. GIS Overview - Trading/Settlements • 7. Initial Timeline
What is the Function of NEPOOL GIS? • Load Serving Entity (LSE) • A system to assist in accumulating data for complying with reporting requirements • Results of the system will be used to generate reports for use by LSE’s and regulatory agencies. • Generation • An accounting system of generation attributes for energy consumed in NE to be reflected on a “Certificate” issued to the owner of the asset. • Traders • A common platform that tangibly identifies generation attributes • Regulatory Agencies • Consistent Reporting • Conservation of generation attributes
Development of the GIS Operating Rules • System designed based on NEPOOL GIS Operating Rules. • Collaborative effort in the development process. • Rules were adopted by NEPOOL - 1/18/02 • Future changes through NEPOOL Markets Committee.

GIS Overview - Generator Attributes • Each MWh of Generation = certificate • Generation data predominantly from MSS (some exceptions for L5MW units not in MSS) Generation Registration MSS MWh of Generation GIS < 5 MW Generators Not Centrally Dispatched Certificate Asset Owners Account
GIS Overview - Imports/Exports Quebec Maritime Area New England New York • Imports/Exports - Unit Specific or System • Unit Specific • Eligibility for RPS. • Adjacent Control Area. • Confirm energy was generated and flowed into NE • Not otherwise sold • Reserved Certificates
