Resale Business Practice Standards 3 Options remain
Scope of the issue – 2 scenarios • Resale is done in the unconditional window • Resale does not get competed or bumped • Resale is done in the conditional window • Resale could be identified as a Defender in Short Term Competition and Preemption. • Questions are: • What do you do with the Resale? • How do you do it?
Real Issue – When the parent is Conditional • Current State: • ISSUE: WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 are not consistent in the treatment of capacity on a Resale • BPS WEQ 001 refers to the movement of scheduling rights not capacity. • BPS WEQ 013 refers to the movement of capacity • ISSUE: FERC language and guidance • FERC has already approved the current language and definition of Resales • ISSUE: Transparency and traceability • Current BPS WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 do not explicitly call out how to ensure that the resale has capacity to redirect, they just state that a resale shall have the ability to redirect.
Option 1 – Status Quo • Current WEQ Version 3 Standards and Implementation guide remain unchanged in regards to Resales • Assignees do not have ROFR • Resales are not subject to P&C • Only the Parent is subject to Competition • This option allows TP to annul all Resales due to P&C on the parent • ISSUES • We will still have the same contradiction between WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 • We will still have issues in traceability and transparency • Billing • Resale to self would shield TC from P&C • Aggregation of Resales
Option 2 – Move Capacity • Move Capacity from the parent to the Resale • Assignee has ROFR • Does not limit Secondary Transmission Market • Customer Satisfaction • ISSUES: • Business Practice Standards Change • Changes to WEQ Resale definitions and WEQ 001 • TP Defender identification meta data tracking • WEQ EC and FERC Support • Billing (Although this is an issue, NAESB Should not be addressing Billing issues as a standards making organization) • System/Process updates • Aggregation of Resales
Option 3 - Restrict Resales to the Unconditional window • Do not allow Resales until the Unconditional window • Conditionality transfers from the parent to the child • If parent tries to Resell in the conditional window, they will not be able to do so. • ISSUES: • Business Practice Change • Implementation Guide Change • Minimizes Secondary Transmission Market • Low customer satisfaction
Agreement on Options • Do you understand all Three options? • Are there other options?
Issues with Each Option • Option 1: • We will still have the same contradiction between WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 • We will still have issues in traceability and transparency • Billing (Although this is an issue, NAESB Should not be addressing Billing issues as a standards making organization) • Resale to self would shield TC from P&C • Still have issue with Daisy Chain • Aggregation of Resales • Option 2: • Business Practice Standards Change • Changes to WEQ Resale definitions and WEQ 001 • TP Defender identification meta data tracking • WEQ EC and FERC resistance to Support • Billing (Although this is an issue, NAESB Should not be addressing Billing issues as a standards making organization) • System/Process updates • Aggregation of Resales • Option 3 (No resale of the Conditional Reservation): • Business Practice Change • Implementation Guide Change • Minimizes Secondary Transmission Market • Low customer satisfaction • Possible FERC resistance to Support • Option 4 (fix Option 1 Issues): • We will have to fix the same contradiction between WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 • We will still have issues in traceability and transparency • Billing (Although this is an issue, NAESB Should not be addressing Billing issues as a standards making organization) • Resale to self would shield TC from P&C • Still have issue with Daisy Chain • Aggregation of Resales • Option 5 (Transfer): • Utilize the Transfer Mechanism for Resales • Fix some attributes of stop and start time • This will have the three party approval
Benefits of Each Option • Option 1: • No changes to current Business Practice Standards • Already approved by WEQ EC and FERC • Option 2: • Update to Standards will make WEQ 001 and WEQ 013 consistent • Traceability • Encourages Secondary Transmission Market Flexibility • Ability to redirect a Resale is already described in Standards • Option 3: • Ease of implementation • Minimal WEQ Business Practice Standard changes required • Easiest for TP to implement
Recommendation • Option 2 • Keeps Secondary Market Flexibility • Treatment of Resales is both transparent and traceable • Facilitate consistency in BPS and Implementation • Consistent with current BPS regarding redirecting a Resale • Allows for Aggregation of Resales to be processed as their own capacity
Option 2 – Draft language • Conditional Parent • Resale in the Conditional Window • Child will inherit the Conditionality of the Parent • Child will inherit the Service Increment of Parent • Child has it’s own Duration • Duration will be consistent with current motion 3 • Based on Start Date and Time and End Date and Time • Child has it’s own Queue Time • Queue time is set when the Resale is entered into OASIS • Child has it’s own Price • Price is that amount entered into OASIS when the Resale is entered.
Option 2 – Draft Language • A Resale will be evaluated to determine if it is a valid Defender on but not limited to the SERVICE_INCREMENT , Capacity and POR/POD inherited from the Parent, and the duration, queue time and price determined when the Resale is entered into OASIS • A Resale will be identified as a Defender consistent with all other Business practice standards for P&C
Option 2 – Draft Language • Resale Matching request will be based off of the Resale reservation in OASIS and must match duration of the Challenger
Resale Defender Example • When Resale is identified as a valid Defender based on it’s TSR in OASIS, the resale will have ROFR. • To exercise ROFR the Resale must match the duration of the Valid Challenger • Example • Parent is monthly, 3 month duration • Child has Service Increment of 1 month, but is 1 week in duration • Both the parent and the child are identified as valid defenders to a 4 month request • Parent must match the remaining month to exercise ROFR • Child must match all four months to exercise ROFR
