New Brunswick Coordination Agreement- Overview - • Provides for the reliable operation of the interconnected New England and New Brunswick systems in accordance with NERC/NPCC Requirements. • Establishes a structure and framework for the reliability-related functions associated interconnected operations: • Recognizes that ISO-NE and New Brunswick will operate systems in accordance with each Party’s Tariffs, Rules and Procedures. • These responsibilities represent measures that ISO-NE and New Brunswick undertake today and have always undertaken.
New Brunswick Coordination Agreement- Purpose - • NERC Version 0 Standards establish that Parties should have an agreement in place that facilitates emergency transactions and identifies interconnection operating limits. • While ISO-NE has various Procedures and Letter Agreements in place today identifying how these issues are handled, this Coordination Agreement formalizes and incorporates these concepts and practices within a single document. • Coordination Agreement also updates the Emergency Energy pricing methodology.
