ORTP Exemption for Distributed RTRs July 10, 2014
the Issue • Effective for FCA9, up to 200 MW per year of Renewable Technology Resources will be eligible to request exemption from Offer Review Trigger Price mitigation. • Distributed Generation assets that meet the criteria for Renewable Technology Resources are not eligible for this exemption because they are classified as Demand Capacity Resources. • ISO Tariff Section III.13.1.1.1.7 states that a Renewable Technology Resource is a Generating Resource that satisfies 4 criteria
Concerns • ISONE has expressed the following concerns with allowing DG to request the RTR ORTP exemption: • It would be complex to implement the exemption if the DG asset is aggregated with other assets in a Demand Resource, since one or more of those assets may not be a renewable resource. • If the RTR cap is reached and the qualified DG MW are pro-rated, what happens to the Qualified Capacity of the entire Demand Resource • Understanding the mechanics of this scenario will require more time than is available prior to FCA9. • Other concerns pertain to how performance would be measured for Distributed RTRs.
Proposed Approach • GP Renewables proposes to extend the eligibility of resources seeking the RTR exemption from ORTP mitigation to the following: • On-Peak Demand Resources that consist of one or more Distributed Generation assets; • If the Resource is an aggregation, then each asset in the aggregation must satisfy all criteria listed in ISO Tariff Section III.13.1.1.1.7 (a-d). • GP Renewables will delay its requested implementation to FCA10, to allow for further consideration of the concerns expressed by ISONE and NEPOOL stakeholders. • Thank you for your consideration.
