pdf 105K

Summary:

This is a survey of how Black Start Capability is procured and how its costs are allocated in a number of different jurisdictions, including the NYISO, ISO-NE, PJM, and ERCOT. This paper was produced for the June 29th 2006 conference call on Voltage Support

Extract:

In a compliance filing (ER98-3760-012) under Docket ER98-3760 the California ISO undertook to re-evaluate the procurement of Voltage Support and Black Start capability. In that filing the CAISO indicated that it would seek stakeholder input in the development of a conceptual design prior to June 30th 2006, for presentation to stakeholders prior to September 30th 2006. This preliminary white paper is the first step in that process. The purpose of this document is merely to survey the practices of other jurisdictions in an attempt to gather information as to how similarly situated ISOs procure these services, as the practices of other ISOs should inform and guide the conceptual development of our own design.
