consistent with the specific availability obligations of different types of resources according to the scheduling and bidding rules described in the following sections. In addition, ISO Tariff Section 37.2.4 provides for Sanctions in the event that a Market Participant does not place or keep a Resource Adequacy Resource online in a manner consistent with a DAM or RUC commitment or Real-Time Dispatch Instruction, whether through a submitted Bid or Default Energy Bid, unless a Outage prevents the Generating Unit from being available. The BPM for Rules of Conduct Administration describes the process fir the ISO to administer Sanctions. The following table provides a summary of the scheduling and bidding rules for RA Capacity. Summary of Bidding Requirements for Resources Providing RA Capacity Resource Type Bidding Requirements IFM RUC RTM ISO Inserts Required Bids Generating Units Including Pseudo Ties (other than Use-Limited Resources) Economic Bids or are to be submitted for all RA Capacity for all hours of the month the resource is physically available (ISO Tariff 40.6.1). $0/MW RUC Availability Bids are to be submitted for all RA Capacity for all hours of the month the resource is physically available (ISO Tariff 40.6.1). Economic Bids or are to be submitted for any remaining RA Capacity from resources scheduled in IFM or RUC. Economic Bids or Self-Schedules are to be submitted for all RA Capacity from Units not scheduled in IFM (ISO Tariff 40.6.2, 40.6.3).

Same bidding requirement as above (ISO Tariff 40.6.1). Same bidding requirement as above (ISO Tariff 40.6.2, 40.6.3, 40.6.5.1). Yes (1) Specific
Resource-Specific Adequacy Resources submit the required bids or schedules into the IFM during the Availability Assessment Hours. If the SC does not submit bids, the ISO will submit bids on behalf of the SC for the hours the resource has an RA capacity obligation. Even if the ISO does not accept the bids or schedules submitted into the IFM for the Resource Adequacy Resource, the resource will have met its obligations under SCP by submitting the bids or schedules. As described in of the BPM, a non-Resource System Resource that has an outage that would count against its availability may request unit substitution by a non-Resource Adequacy Resource within the ISO’s Balancing Area Authority to avoid counting the unavailability toward the monthly availability calculation. The formula for determining the availability calculation of a non-Resource-Specific System Resource during the Availability Assessment Hours in any given month will be as follows: Availability Calculation for a single non-Resource-Specific System Resource = ∑ SCP Bids Available MW in Availability Assessment Hours / ∑Availability Assessment Hours in month Where SCP RA Bids Available MW per hour = min (sum of MW-hour in submitted Day-Ahead Economic Bids and Self Schedules, RA Capacity MW per hour) Out-of-Service Transmission Path A non-Resource-Specific System Resource cannot submit Economic Bids or in the IFM when the transmission path at the Scheduling is completely out-of-service (i.e., transmission path rating is 0 MW). Scheduling Coordinators for System Resources with Resource Adequacy Capacity may submit the Availability Assessment Hours in a month where the transmission path at the Scheduling Point is out-of-service as described in Tariff Section 30.8 using the SLIC application. The process to submit hours for out-of-service transmission path will be described in ISO Operating Procedure T-113. There are two requirements applicable to reporting outages for NRS-RA resources and transmission outages at an inter-tie. All reports of outages that begin prior to January 1, 2012 will be submitted in accordance with the first requirement (table 3), all outages that begin on or after January 1, 2012 will be reported in accordance with the second requirement (table 4).
