Notice to Market Participants

FERC today issued an order which directed those entities that have not applied for market-based rates for Ancillary Services to file within fifteen days of the date of the order amendments to their rate schedules under which they sell energy at market-based rates, adding these additional market-based products.  FERC stated that they will waive the notice requirements to permit bids tendered on the Monday following issuance of the order for service to be provided the next day.  Assuming the final FERC order is issued by Friday, October 30, jurisdictional suppliers will be able to sell Ancillary Services at market-based rates for the day-ahead market November 2, for operating day November 3. 

This notice and the FERC order, when available, will be posted on the ISO web site.
