Main
Text: The
California ISO (CAISO) is reviewing its certification process for Spinning
Reserve Capacity and the bidding practices of Aggregated Units to ensure that
the Spinning Reserve service the CAISO procures from the Aggregated Units
complies with the CAISO Tariff and Western Electricity Coordinating Council
(WECC) Minimum Operating Reliability Criteria (MORC). On June 13, 2007 CAISO posted a
whitepaper entitled “Proposal for Spinning Reserve Certification” to initiate a
stakeholder process on Spinning Reserve Certification. The CAISO has held two stakeholder
conference calls to discuss this matter and provided opportunities for
stakeholders to submit written comments on the CAISO proposal.
In
response to stakeholder input, the CAISO has issued a “Supplement to Proposal
for Spinning Reserve Certification” to narrow the focus on this issue and
provide additional detail about its proposal. The document can be found at http://www.caiso.com/1bfc/1bfc7d23491e0.html.
The CAISO will conduct a conference
call on September 27, 2007 to discuss with
stakeholders the proposal.
