2009 CAISO Transmission Plan • The 2008 CAISO Transmission Plan was finalized in Jan 08 • Incorporated most of the Order 890 principles • The CAISO 2009 Transmission Plan implements our Order 890 compliance filing and corresponding proposed tariff changes • There are three key stages in the process • Unified planning assumptions and study plan (Mar 10) • Technical results & project proposals (Oct 9) • Draft Transmission Plan (Dec 10) • Minimum of three stakeholder meetings
What will be implemented in 2008 • New Elements • Request Window (August 15 – November 30) • Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) – on the website • Secured Section (April 2008) • Congestion analysis • Pre-MRTU: Identify and assess key congestion points on real-time operations information and on a CAISO wide system basis • Post-MRTU: Develop methodology and process to provide the “market” an opportunity to mitigate congestion • Validate Long-Term Congestion Revenue Rights (CRRs) • More comprehensive studies • Reliability & economic assessments • Renewable integration through our Locationally Constrained Resource Interconnection (LCRI) Tariff and the Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) • Reach out to the Western Interconnection for coordination
Broader objectives the CAISO desires to achieve during 2008 are: • Reach out to the Western Interconnection for coordination opportunities • Actively participate in TEPPC to formalize the subregional planning process within WECC • Work with all TEPPC entities to develop a common mapping database • Transition to PROMOD IV for all congestion and economic analysis efforts • Utilize TEPPC base cases as our “seed” cases • Establish a strong tie with TEPPC on data preparation • Continue to support developing the Pacific Southwest Planning Association (PSPA) • Actively participate in our “adjoining” subregional planning group processes (Columbia Grid and SWAT)
