On Feb. 21, 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the California ISO’s Nov. 8, 2018 filing to distribute the proceeds of the Rules of Conduct penalties collected during 2017, as well as nonrefundable study deposits for projects interconnecting to the distribution system of Southern California Edison Co. (SCE) for 2017. The FERC order is available on FERC’s website at https://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/comm-meet/2019/022119/E-8.pdf?csrt=12255544128118857172.
Each eligible scheduling coordinator will receive its distribution on the T+12B Settlement Statement for trade date March 25, 2019, via charge code 1592 for Rules of Conduct penalties, and charge code 8526 for interconnection study deposits. Scheduling coordinators that were not assessed a financial penalty under section 37 for 2017 will receive a distribution pro rata based on how much grid management charge they paid. The interconnection study deposits will be distributed pro rata based on grid management charge without regard to whether a scheduling coordinator was assessed a penalty under section 37 for the year.
