New Markets Recalculation Window Stakeholder Conference Call

___________________________________________________

 

Summary

The California ISO posted an issue paper and initial straw proposal on a new stakeholder initiative, New Markets Recalculation Window, and will conduct a stakeholder web conference and call on Thursday, March 18, 2010 to discuss the paper.

___________________________________________________

 

Main Text

Currently, a gap exists between the April 1, 2009 start-up of the new market and the November 1, 2009 implementation of payment acceleration where no defined settlement statement publishing timeline exists in the applicable ISO tariff provisions beyond the T+76 Recalculation Settlement Statement.  To resolve the situation, the ISO is spearheading an initiative to “bridge” the gap between trading days April 1, 2009 and November 1, 2009 with a defined settlement publication routine, ample validation and dispute opportunities, and a sunset provision that are consistent with the principles of payment acceleration already in place.  

 

This proposal will allow predicable resolution of the early new market issues and reduce the need for significant data storage and work effort needed to coordinate analyses and rerun settlements both internally and externally.

 

The ISO posted an issue paper and initial straws proposal for this initiative at http://www.caiso.com/2755/2755eb2670a00.html.  The ISO will conduct a stakeholder web conference and call on Thursday, March 18, 2010 to discuss the paper.  Please submit written comments on the paper to recalc@caiso.com by close of business March 23, 2010.

 

An agenda and presentation for the meeting will be posted to the ISO website at the address shown above by close of business March 16, 2010.
