Generated bids and outage reporting for non-resource specific resource adequacy resources

Suppliers of Resource Adequacy (RA) capacity have the obligation to bid that capacity into the California ISO market. The ISO therefore has Tariff authority to insert generated bids for RA resources that fail to bid into the market. There are gaps in this process, however, when it comes to the case of system (or import) resources that are not resource-specific but do have RA contracts (NRS-RA resources). Through this stakeholder effort, the ISO will work with market participants to address two issues required for implementing insertion of generated bids for NRS-RA resources that fail to offer into the ISO markets. The first issue is the question of what bid price to insert for automatically generated bids, and the second is that of outage reporting for these resources.
