The CAISO will continue to produce and make available monthly LMP Study 3C results.  Going forward the CAISO will no longer produce the monthly LMP Study 3C Reports as analyzing the results and issuing monthly reports takes significant time and resources that now have to be redirected to MRTU readiness and implementation activities.  This change will allow the CAISO to release future LMP 3C Study results on a more-timely basis.  If you have any questions or concerns about this redirection of CAISO resources, please contact Greg Cook at gcook@caiso.com or (916) 608-7202.

 

“Appendix C: Supporting Technical Information,” containing hourly nodal prices for LMP Study 3C is available on CDs covering September 2004 through April 2005 conditions.  To obtain the CDs containing the supporting technical information, please contact Mayleen Trinidad at mtrinidad@caiso.com or (916) 608-1292.
