PRD Full Integration Conforming Changes and Fixes

Background

• On April 13, 2012, the ISO filed proposed changes to the transition period rules for demand response (reference April 10 , 2012 MC presentation, agenda item 4). The rule changes addressed:– RTEG Demand Reduction Value– Transition Period Metering Requirements– Baselines & Baseline Adjustments

• Similar changes were needed for the full integration rules, but time constraints required the ISO to limit the scope of the changes to those affecting the transition period only.

• On May 29, 2012, the Commission accepted the proposed transition period rule changes.

Background

• The ISO has assessed the full integration rules in the context of the transition period changes and has determined the following changes are required to be carried forward:– RTEG Metering Requirements– Baseline & Baseline Adjustment Rules

• Real-Time Emergency Generation (RTEG)• Demand Response Resource (DRR)

• The ISO also identified that clarification to the capacity market rules is needed regarding the application of the Distribution Loss Factor

• Some clarifying language changes will be made to both Appendix E and Section 13.
