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.

satisfy these criteria, the ISO shall utilize a random selection method to determine the designation between those resources. The ISO does not have to designate the full capability of a resource; however, the ISO may designate an amount of CPM Capacity from a resource that exceeds the amount of capacity identified to ensure compliance with the Reliability Criteria set forth in ISO Tariff Section 40.3 due to the PMin or other operational requirements/limits of a resource that has available capacity to provide CPM service. The ISO will not designate the capacity of a resource for an amount of capacity that is less than the resource’s PMin. Quantity of Capacity included in an Exceptional Dispatch CPM Designation ISO Tariff Sections 43.2.5.2.2, 43.2.5.2.3, and 43.2.5.2.4 Exceptional Dispatch of Partial RA, Partial CPM Unit, or Market Committed Resource: If a resource is a Partial Resource Adequacy Resource, has an CPM designation of less than its entire capacity, has a Self Schedule or has a market based commitment, or has already received an Exceptional Dispatch CPM designation under Section 43.2.5, the ISO shall designate as CPM Capacity the amount by which the Exceptional Dispatch exceeded the greater of – (1) The capacity that the resources must make available to the ISO as the result of an RA Capacity or CPM Capacity obligation; if any; and (2) The sum of any Self-Schedule and any market-based commitment or dispatch of the resource. Subsequent Exceptional Dispatch: If the ISO, during the term of a resource’s Exceptional Dispatch CPM designation, issues an Exceptional Dispatch to the resource that requires Energy in excess of the sum of the resource’s CPM Capacity and RA Capacity, the ISO will increase the capacity designated as Exceptional Dispatch CPM Capacity by the amount equal to the difference between the Exceptional Dispatch and the sum of the resource’s CPM Capacity or RA Capacity. The increase will be effective for the remainder of the term of the Exceptional Dispatch CPM Designation and retroactively to the beginning of the term or the first day of the month in which the increase occurs, whichever is later. Any incremental Exceptional Dispatch issued within any 30-day CPM term does not result in a new 30-day term.
committed considering operating characteristics including effectiveness of the resource to meet the reactive power need, start-up time, start-up and minimum load cost. Following identification of the voltage concern, the ISO will conduct an analysis and identify the MW amount and location of the unit commitments and any additional capacity needed to ensure that Reactive Power Support in the local area is reliable and adequate. The ISO will then issue an Exceptional Dispatch CPM for reactive power for the identified MW amount. The analysis includes simulation of expected system conditions in the time of interest using a power flow model and/or other appropriate in-house tools. All credible contingencies are studied and system performance is monitored for any potential voltage concerns. Mitigation options are developed to alleviate the identified voltage concerns. The results of these studies provide the operations engineer with enough information about the system after a contingency has occurred to determine the amount of reactive power that is needed if there is a voltage problem or the amount of real power needed if there is also a thermal overload problem. On subsequent days, if the ISO determines that additional Exceptional Dispatch CPM capacity is required for reactive power support, the ISO treats the dispatch as a subsequent Exceptional Dispatch under ISO Tariff Section 43.2.5.2.3. The ISO will notify the scheduling coordinator for the resource of the subsequent dispatch. Real-time In real-time, the ISO may an Exceptional Dispatch CPM when the ISO must take immediate action to respond to an imminent or threatened system emergency. If the ISO issues an Exceptional Dispatch to a resource for capacity that is not already Resource Adequacy capacity, substituted Resource Adequacy capacity or CPM capacity in real-time to obtain needed reactive support, this dispatch is based on commitment tools, Operating Procedure or/and engineering studies. Accordingly, the dispatch will be for the actual amount of capacity required and such amount will be the designated CPM quantity. Other Provisions The Exceptional Dispatch CPM designation for reactive support to address an Exceptional Dispatch CPM Non-System Reliability Need, as defined in the Tariff, will be for 60-days. Following an Exceptional Dispatch CPM designation for reactive power support, the ISO will publish the CPM reports consistent with the ISO Tariff. Selection of Eligible Capacity or Exceptional Dispatch CPM Designations ISO Tariff Section 34.9. In accordance with good utility practice the ISO shall make designations of Eligible Capacity for an Exceptional Dispatch CPM based on the following additional criteria:
2a Derated Available 250 MW (M), 500 MW (N) None (* ISO Intertie is out) None 2b Fully Derated (Open Tie) Available ISO does not require a bid to be submitted None (* ISO knows Intertie is out) None 3 Available Out (assume Resource N is out) 250 MW (M) Resource tie ID outage (A) – submitted within SLIC If approved internal unit substitution occurs, no SCP impact. Otherwise, SCP Impact: If forced outage, or ambient not due to temperature outage, SCP charge will apply If it is a maintenance outage, no SCP charge will Non-Availability Charge ISO Tariff Section 40.9.6 and 40.9.7.3 The Non-Availability Charge Code Configuration is located in the BPM for Settlements and Billing. A Resource Adequacy Resource that fails to achieve the Availability Standard plus 2.5% in any month during the compliance year will result in a Charge to the Scheduling Coordinator of that Resource Adequacy Resource. The tolerance band provides for Non-Availability Charges and Availability Incentive Payments to only be assessed when Resource Adequacy Resources perform significantly better or worse compared to the established Availability Standard.
