ORTP Exemption for Distributed RTRs November 13, 2014
the Issue • Effective for FCA9, up to 200 MW per year of Renewable Technology Resources will be eligible to request exemption from Offer Review Trigger Price mitigation. • Distributed Generation assets that meet the criteria for Renewable Technology Resources are not eligible for this exemption because they are classified as Demand Capacity Resources. • ISO Tariff Section III.13.1.1.1.7 states that a Renewable Technology Resource is a Generating Resource that satisfies 4 criteria
Concerns • ISONE has expressed the following concerns with allowing DG to request the RTR ORTP exemption: • It would be complex to implement the exemption if the DG asset is aggregated with other assets in a Demand Resource, since one or more of those assets may not be a renewable resource. • In particular, if the RTR cap is reached and the qualified DG MW are pro-rated, what happens to the Qualified Capacity of the entire Demand Resource? • Understanding the mechanics of this scenario will require more time than is available prior to FCA9. • Some participants have expressed concerns regarding the calculation of Qualified Capacity and performance if a Demand Capacity Resource includes both RTR and non-RTR assets in an aggregation.
Proposed Solution • Effective for FCA10, revise the definition of Renewable Technology Resources to include both Generating Capacity Resources and On-Peak Demand Resources that satisfy the requirements specified in Section III.13.1.1.1.7. • If an On-Peak Demand Resource is an aggregation, then every asset in the aggregation must satisfy all of the RTR criteria. • Action requested: • Vote on proposed MR1 revisions (next slide): • MC: November 12-13 • PC: December 5; FERC filing shortly thereafter • This should support an implementation date prior to the March 3, 2015 close of the FCA10 Show of Interest Window
Proposed Tariff Revisions • Section I.2.2: • Renewable Technology Resource is a Generating Capacity Resource or an On-Peak Demand Resource that satisfies the requirements specified in Section III.13.1.1.1.7. • Section III.13.1.1.1.7 • To participate in the Forward Capacity Market as a Renewable Technology Resource, a Generating Capacity Resource or an On-Peak Demand Resource (including every asset that is part of the On-Peak Demand Resource) must satisfy the following requirements: • (c) participate in a Forward Capacity Auction for a Capacity Commitment Period beginning on or after June 1, 2018 as a New Generating Capacity Resource or New Demand Resource pursuant to Section III.13.1.1, and;
