Resource Adequacy Capacity procured by Reserve Sharing LSEs ISO Tariff Sections 40.6.1, 37.2.4 Scheduling Coordinators representing Resource Adequacy Capacity procured by Resource Sharing LSEs must make the Resource Adequacy Capacity listed in the Scheduling Coordinator’s monthly Supply Plan available to the ISO in a manner 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.
