The
California ISO posted to its website at http://www.caiso.com/23d9/23d9c75e22ab0.html
a straw
proposal on the stakeholder initiative addressing changes to the bidding
and mitigation of start-up, minimum load, and multi-stage generating resource transition
costs. The commitment costs initiative entails a reexamination of the
issues discussed in the initiative on changes to start-up and minimum-load
bidding following a pause of that initiative in the fall of 2009. In

will address the issue of multi-stage generating transition cost mitigation
within the scope of the commitment costs initiative.

ISO will discuss the straw proposal at a meeting of the Market Surveillance
Committee on March 19, 2010, and will host a conference call to further discuss
