  1. MIC ACTIVITIES ED Beck, Chair MIC January 20, 2005 ISAS mtg

  2. Issues Being Followed • Firm/Interruptible/Non-Interruptible Products • Integration of Mid-Hour E-tags • Reliability Coordinator Directives for Re-dispatch

  3. Current Activities • Conditional Firm Transmission Task Force (CFTF) • FERC technical conf. – wind • FERC Conditional Firm workshop • Contract Path vs. Flow Based ATC Task Force (CVFTF) – (Feb. 3 mtg @ BPA) • MIC/OC Joint Task Force on Operating Reserves

  4. MIC Charter for Board • Resolve to establish joint task force of the OC and MIC to: • investigate operating reserve issues from the “ground up” • evaluate all WECC operating reserve related policies, standards, requirements, etc., to ensure that our underlying framework for operating reserve practices and obligations is compatible with the current state of the industry

  5. Intent of Charter • Maintain the reliability of the WECC grid within industry accepted parameters • Maximize the use of market based means to reach that level of reliability, • Minimizing interference of such rules with market transactions. • Provide sufficient flexibility so as to accommodate both “new-style” centrally dispatched competitive generation markets (a la CISO) as well as “old-style” independent, integrated utility control areas

  6. Contingency Reserve Identification Task Force • Develop a WECC Business Practice and associated infrastructure (if required) to identify and communicate the Contingency Reserve responsibility associated with a specific Interchange Transaction. The Business Practice will: • Be based on the proposed MORC 1A criteria. • Identify what entity has Contingency Reserve carrying obligations for: Interruptible energy, Non interruptible Energy, and Unit Contingent energy • Develop a tracking mechanism so that it is known by the Source and Sink Control Areas in the transaction chain who is carrying the Contingency Reserves for the energy transaction • Utilize existing NERC Transmission Product codes 1 – 7 in conjunction with additional new codes to track transmission interruptability (whether or not the transmission service associated with the Transaction is interruptible within the hour)
