DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. ER02-1656-017]
California Independent System Operator Corporation; Notice of
Extension of Time
December 24, 2003.
On December 19, 2003, the California Independent System Operator
Corporation (the CAISO) filed a motion for an extension of time within
which to file data pursuant to two requests issued by the Commission on
December 16, 2003, relating to the CAISO's Revised MD02 Proposal and
the Commission's October 28 Order.\1\ The Commission's requests were
contained in a Notice of Technical Conference and a letter from Jamie
Simler, Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West (the
Letter) to the CAISO, respectively. The Notice of Technical Conference
directed the CAISO to file information to clarify:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ California Independent System Operator Corporation, 105 FERC
] 61,140 (2003) (October 28 Order).
[sbull] The CAISO's proposed approach to allocation of marginal
losses;
[sbull] The revised pricing mechanism for setting prices for
constrained output generators in the forward market;
[sbull] A statement made by the CAISO in relation to sales of
energy from capacity committed in the day-ahead residual unit
commitment process; and
[sbull] The CAISO's concern that the purchase of only capacity may
undermine incentives to imports in the residual unit commitment
process.
The Letter directed the CAISO to file specific responses to clarify
and provide a further explanation of the methodologies and approaches
proposed to be adopted by the CAISO to determine which resources are
subject to local market power mitigation, and to provide three specific
examples employing the proposed methodologies.
The responses and information were directed to be filed by no later
than January 7, 2004.
The CAISO's motion states that due to the holiday season, key
personnel within the CAISO will be unavailable and that the CAISO is
therefore unable to meet this deadline. The CAISO therefore requests an
extension of time for filing the information in response to the Notice
of Technical Conference until January 14, 2004, and an extension of
time for filing the responses pursuant to the Letter until January 23,
2004.
Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of
time for the CAISO to comply with the Commission's request in the
Notice of Technical Conference is granted to January 14, 2004, and an
extension of time for the CAISO to comply with the request in the
Letter is granted to January 16, 2004.
As previously advised, interested parties are invited to file
comments by January 14, 2004 in relation to the October 28 Order and in
relation to issues arising from the November 6 Technical Conference.
Interested parties are also invited to file reply comments by January
20, 2004 in response to the additional information provided by the
CAISO on January 14, 2004.
