1.  Purpose of Document

The purpose of this document is to capture the requirements and design specification for a Charge Code in one document.

2.  Introduction

2.1  Background

The Capacity Procurement Mechanism (CPM) provides an orderly, pre-approved means for the CAISO to procure backstop capacity where and when needed to meet Reliability Criteria or otherwise maintain reliable grid operations.

Although RA programs are in place under California law, and RA requirements have been established by Local Regulatory Authorities, there may be instances when RA Resources are not sufficient to meet all of the operational needs of the ISO and enable it to meet reliability criteria. This may occur as a result of LSEs failing to comply with RA requirements, LSEs procuring sufficient resources to meet their RA requirements established by Local Regulatory Authorities, but not meeting all of the ISO’s specific reliability needs, and unforeseen or changed circumstances affecting system conditions or grid operations. The ISO must have the appropriate tools at its disposal under such circumstances to maintain reliable operations. In particular, the ISO needs the ability to procure resources when such instances occur in order to maintain the reliability of the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. The Interim Capacity Procurement Mechanism (ICPM) has provided that ability and, therefore, the ISO is retaining the key features of the ICPM in conjunction with a few key modifications that will enhance the program.

In reviewing the performance of both the ICPM and the ISO’s new market system

over the first 18 months of their operation, the ISO has come to two key conclusions –

(i) the ICPM has operated effectively and successfully in fulfilling its intended purpose, and (ii) the need for a backstop capacity procurement mechanism continues to exist.

While the use of ICPM has been rather limited, the

potential circumstances and needs that motivated its implementation are still

relevant today. Moreover, given the significant operational requirements facing the ISO

in the near future as a result of the integration of large amounts of variable energy

resources, not seeking the continuation of some

equally-effective type of backstop capacity procurement mechanism would be irresponsible. In order to assure

its ability to operate the system reliably under diverse system conditions, the ISO must

have both a backstop capacity procurement mechanism comparable to ICPM and an

Exceptional Dispatch mechanism as permanent features of its market and operating

structure. As variable energy

resources that are on line increase, they will comprise a greater proportion of LSEs’ RA

capacity and load-serving capacity .. Since variable energy resources’ qualifying capacity is unpredictable due to several inherent constraints (e.g., weather conditions), they may be unable to provide their full RA capacity, which, in turn, could adversely impact system reliability. A backstop

capacity procurement mechanism enables the ISO to procure specific capacity needed

in response to outages in order to maintain the ISO’s compliance with applicable

reliability criteria.

In addition to those aspects of ICPM which the ISO intends to retain, the CPM will feature several enhancements:

·  A new CPM procurement category for resources at risk of retirement that the ISO has determined will be needed for reliability in the following year The addition of two criteria the ISO can consider in selecting capacity for a CPM designation or Exceptional Dispatch from eligible resources that will allow ISO operators to exercise a preference for non-use-limited over use-limited resources and to consider each resource’s operating characteristics;

·  Adjustment of CPM compensation when a CPM resource becomes unavailable during the CPM procurement period due to a maintenance outage;

·  An updated price for backstop capacity.

For the methodology for CPM Compensation, the ISO shall use a CPM price of $55/kW-year as established using the CEC’s updated “Comparative Costs of California Central Station Electricity Generation Technologies” study, issued in 2009.

For the CPM Allocation, the existing ISO Tariff Sections 43.7.1 through 43.7.6 establish the method for allocating the costs of CPM capacity payments for each category of CPM designation. The allocation method for each CPM category as follows:

·  For insufficient Local Capacity Area Resources in an annual or a monthly RA Plan, the CPM costs are allocated pro rata to each Scheduling Coordinator for a deficient LSE based on the ratio of that LSE’s deficiency to the deficiency within the TAC area.

·  For a collective deficiency of Local Capacity Area Resources in an annual RA Plan, the CPM costs are allocated to all Scheduling Coordinators of LSEs serving load in the TAC area in which the deficient local capacity area was located.

·  For insufficient RA resources to comply with an LSE’s annual and monthly demand and reserve margin requirements, the CPM cost allocation is made pro rata to each LSE based on the proportion of its deficiency to the aggregate deficiency.

·  For a significant event, Exceptional Dispatch, or resource at risk of retirement CPM, the costs are allocated to all Scheduling Coordinators for LSEs that serve load in the TAC area where the need for the designation arose, based on each Scheduling Coordinator’s percentage of actual load in the TAC area(s) to total load in that area.

2.2  Description

CC 7881 (Monthly CPM Exceptional Dispatch Allocation) provides for the allocation of the cost of the CPM procured on one or multiple TAC Area(s) basis in response to one or more CPM or instances requiring Exceptional Dispatch CPM. For each CPM designation the allocation is applied to all Scheduling Coordinators for LSEs that serve Load in the TAC Area(s) in which the CPM or underlying reason for Exceptional Dispatch caused or threatened to cause a failure to meet Reliability Criteria, based on the percentage of actual Load of each LSE represented by the Scheduling Coordinator in the TAC Area(s) to total Load in the TAC Area(s) as recorded in the CAISO Settlement system for the actual days during any Settlement month period over which the designation has occurred.

The TAC Area Metered demand aggregation will use the Instruction Types displayed in the table below, and this will be the basis of the CPM allocation:

CPM Instruction Codes
( O) / TAC Area
(v) / Comments
NONTMOD, SYSEMR, TEMR, TMODEL, TMODEL4, VS / TAC_NORTH +TAC_ECNTR+
TAC_SOUTH / For a CPM designation arising from an exceptional dispatch transmission modeling constraint, System Emergency, System Emergency requiring assistance from outside the CAISO control area, or Voltage Support
TMODEL1, TMODEL5, TMODEL8, TMODEL10 / TAC_NORTH
TMODEL2, TMODEL6 / TAC_ECNTR
