  13. Cold Snap Task Force

  14. Cold Snap Task Force Three high-priority, short-term objectives targeted for implementation prior to winter 2004/2005: 1) Electric Market Synchronization with Gas Market • ISO & NEPOOL Cold Snap Task Force (CSTF) – Finalizing proposal with NEPOOL MC 2) Electric/Gas Operating Committee • Education, Understanding, Coordination, Communications 3) Investigate True Dual Fuel Capability & Promote Expansion • EES Group – Environmental Consultants

  15. Cold Snap Task Force, Con’t. 1) Electric Market Synchronization with Gas Market • Cold Snap Proposal is event driven, triggered by extreme weather and a potential for capacity shortages. • Two options being decided upon by NEPOOL MC • Electric/Gas Operating Committee: • Coordination within four areas: • Maintenance: scheduled & unscheduled • Operations: contingencies, blackout/system restoration • Training: common-mode & emergency drills • Planning: contingency identification & analysis
