---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of the technical conference is to discuss the issues
raised by CAISO's proposed revisions to its Open Access Transmission
Tariff (Tariff) to implement its RTPP in Docket No. ER10-1401-000 and
obtain additional information regarding CAISO's proposal. Because
CAISO's RTPP filing presents issues that may be interrelated with the
Petition for Declaratory Order filed by Green Energy Express LLC and
21st Century Transmission Holdings, LLC, in Docket No. EL10-76-000,
parties are hereby notified that issues pending in Docket No. EL10-76-
000 may be discussed at the technical conference.
CAISO and the parties that choose to participate in the conference
should be prepared to address the following topics, among others:
How the RTPP incorporates participation from all
stakeholders, including the California Transmission Planning Group, and
complies with the transmission planning principles of Order No. 890;
How the various categories of transmission projects will
be defined and differentiated;
To what extent non-incumbent transmission developers can
sponsor transmission projects identified in the RTPP and become
participating transmission owners in the CAISO;
The selection criteria for projects in the various
transmission categories, including which proposals have priority during
the evaluation process;
How projects submitted during the 2008/2009 Request Window
will be processed, with respect to both the current Tariff and the
proposed RTPP; and
The integration and coordination of RTPP studies with
those done under the Large Generator Interconnection Process, and
related assumptions, data, and planning criteria.
A subsequent notice will be issued by the Commission providing an
agenda of the conference.
