Subject:  Amendment 72 Requirements for Generators

___________________________________________________

 

Summary:  This is a reminder of how the Amendment 72 requirements for reporting and scheduling apply to generators.

___________________________________________________

 

Main Text:  As indicated in previous Market Notices, beginning with Trade Date Tuesday, May 16, 2006, the California ISO (ISO) plans to begin administering sanctions under the Enforcement Protocol for failure to timely submit any reports that are required by Amendment 72.

 

Information about compliance with Amendment 72 is posted on the ISO Website at http://www1.caiso.com/14d8/14d8aabc1af90.html.  As noted in the summary of questions and answers from conference calls, the scheduling and reporting requirements of Amendment 72 apply to all Demand.  No type of Demand is categorically exempt from these requirements, including auxiliary load of generating units.  The Scheduling Coordinator for a generator is required to submit reports when it schedules and reports Demand to the ISO.

 

To the extent that auxiliary load not reported as a Metered Quantity to the ISO due to netting permitted by the ISO Tariff in Section 10.1.3.1, it is the understanding of the ISO that there would be no quantity of Demand to report under Amendment 72.
