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 Standard Capacity Product (SCP) is effective on January 1, 2010, as described in CAISO Tariff Section 40.9. SCP incorporates resource availability standards and incentives into the ISO Tariff to facilitate contracting for Resource Adequacy (RA) Capacity. SCP also enhances grid reliability and market efficiency by providing an incentive for RA Resources to be available during peak hours.

SCP is a set of attributes defined in the CAISO tariff which specify the Availability Standard, Non-Availability Charges and Availability Incentive Payments applied to non-exempt RA capacity. There is one availability standard applicable to RA resources each month during the RA compliance year. Each monthly Availability Standard is based on the historic availability of the RA resource fleet during a pre-defined set of peak hours during a previous three-year period. At a high level, the CAISO will review the availability of each RA Resource subject to SCP each month to determine whether its meets the Availability Standard applicable for that month. A RA Resource that has a lower availability rate than the Availability Standard minus the tolerance band of 2.5% is subject to a Non-Availability Charge. A RA Resources that has Availability greater than the Availability Standard plus the tolerance band of 2.5% will be eligible for an Availability Incentive Payment.

2.2  Description

The Monthly Resource Adequacy Standard Capacity Product Settlement (CC8824) is the charge to any RA Resource that failed to meet the monthly Availability Standard minus the tolerance band of 2.5%. The Non-availability charges will be applied on a monthly basis to RA resources that fail to achieve the Availability Standard minus 2.5% during that month.

3.  Charge Code Requirements

3.1  Business Rules

Bus Req ID / Business Rule /
1.1  / The Hourly RA MW Available from Resource and total Availability Assessment Hours of month includes only peak hours. In essence, the CAISO will sum the MW that are available in the month for only the defined Availability Assessment Hours.
1.2  / A tolerance band of 5.0% is used around the Availability Standard (2.5% on either side of the Availability Standard value) to eliminate the calculation and assessment of Non-Availability Charges and Availability Incentive Payments in very small amounts.
1.3  / The Non-Availability Charges and Availability Incentive Payments will be settled all within the same settlement month
2.0  / The "price" value in the Non-Availability Charge formula is the replacement cost (or CAISO "backstop" cost) of capacity that is established in the CAISO Tariff. That value is currently $41/kW-year, as established in the Interim Capacity Procurement Mechanism ("ICPM") provisions
3.0  / SCP Non-Availability Charges and Availability Incentive Payments apply to the Local Capacity Area RA capacity submitted by a Load following MSS in an annual Resource Adequacy Plan and to the Local Capacity Area RA Capacity of a Modified Reserve Sharing LSE.
