Energy Division Proposal 4 Background: • D.06-07-031 adopted a counting protocol for units that take scheduled outage during the RA compliance year. This protocol been implemented consistently since 2006, regardless of changes to the CAISO markets or other RA program developments. • Through the course of multiple CAISO proceedings over the previous three years during the Standard Capacity Product effort, the CAISO and stakeholders (including the CPUC) have been developing an alternative to the current CPUC scheduled outage rule. • The CAISO currently has an open proceeding wherein CAISO is developing a supplier based process to coordinate outages on RA units, with the intent to develop a tariff to implement the process and coordinate with the CPUC RA program.
Energy Division Proposal 4 Proposal: Energy Division proposes that the scheduled outage rule be retained in the CPUC RA program until the CAISO files, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approves, a tariff that provides for the following: (1.) Allows the CAISO to reliably operate the system including outage coordination with a reserve margin that may be lower than 15% due to resource outages. (2.) Allows the CAISO to accept or deny outages while operating the system within all the NERC and WECC constraints CAISO is required to observe.
Energy Division Proposal 4 cont. (3.) Relies solely on CAISO and suppliers of RA capacity to manage and coordinate unit outages, without interaction with the LSE that contracted that unit or consultation of the contract with the unit. Relies solely on CAISO tariff authority over the unit as a provider of RA capacity (4.) Removes LSEs completely from the coordination of unit outages such that the CPUC would not need to maintain rules to govern LSE behavior related to performance of RA contracted and committed units. (5.) Create a specific penalty/incentive structure to limit the amount of time RA units are on outage.
Energy Division Proposal 5 Background: • The RA program relies on the CEC adjusted forecasts as the basis for each LSE's RA obligations. • Energy Division uses these final load forecast to allocate Year-Ahead RA system and Local RA requirements which include allocations of any Demand Response, Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM), and RMR capacity. • Currently the Year-Ahead RA forecast and compliance process maintains a 90 day window between notification of final RA obligations and submission of final Year-Ahead RA compliance filings • Some LSEs have requested the opportunity to update and revise their Year-Ahead forecast information closer to the due date for submission of the Year-Ahead RA compliance filings. • D.05-10-042 specified that LSEs may dispute adjustments made to their forecasts but did not include timelines for that dispute.
Energy Division Proposal 5 Proposal: • Energy Division proposes to set a firm deadline for LSEs to submit revisions to their forecasts. Energy Division presents the following draft timelines to parties to sketch out the broad outline of a process for LSEs to make revisions to their year-ahead load forecasts. • Three timelines follow, which illustrate #1 the current process, #2 a firm deadline for revisions and possible reallocations based on revisions, and #3 a timeline for revisions without the Preliminary Local RA Filing based on Energy Division proposal #3. Parties are requested to comment on the following timelines.
