The California ISO (CAISO) assigns import capability to LSEs
through their respective SCs for compliance with resource adequacy requirements
for 2009 by means of the multi-step Import Capability Assignment Process as
described in CAISO Tariff Section 40.5.2.2.1
Step 8 of the process
allows LSEs to transfer some or all of its Remaining Import Capability to any
other LSE or Market Participant. The CAISO will only accept transfers
among LSEs and Market Participants that are reported to the CAISO by July 18,
2008. The CAISO will post to its website by August 8, 2008 transfers
received under this Step 9. Transfers must be reported by the entity
receiving the Remaining Import Capability and the report must include:
·
Name of the counter-parties
·
Megawatt quantity
·
Term of transfer
·
Price on a per megawatt basis
In addition, to be eligible to engage in any transfer of
Remaining Import Capability under Step 8, an LSE or other Market Participant
must provide the following information to the CAISO prior to the date of the
transfer agreement:
·
Name of the Load Serving Entity
·
E-mail contact information applicable for import capability transfer
purposes
Under Step 9 of the
process, up to and including July 21, 2008, the SC for each LSE or Market
Participant with Remaining Import Capacity shall notify the CAISO of its
request to assign its Remaining Import Capability on a megawatt-basis per
available branch group.
Under Step 11 of the
process, up to and including August 1, 2008, LSEs will have a second
opportunity to assign Remaining Import Capability on a megawatt-basis per
available branch group.
All required information under Steps 8, 9 and 11 should be
sent to the CAISO at reliabilityrequirements@caiso.com. The
subject matter heading should reference the applicable step and the Import
Capability Assignment Process.
Steps 10 and 12 of the
process involve the CAISO notifying SCs individually of the results of their
initial and secondary assignment requests under Steps 9 and 11,
respectively. Step 10 will be completed on July 28, 2008 and Step 12 will
be completed on August 8, 2008.
