The California ISO has launched a new initiative called Maximum Import Capability (MIC) Enhancements, and will hold a public stakeholder call on March 18, 2021, to discuss the issue paper for this initiative.

Through this initiative, the ISO will discuss stakeholder concerns raised during the maximum import capability stabilization and multi-year allocation initiative about potential improvements to the calculation of maximum import capability and the process used to allocate and track it during the resource adequacy process. This initiative scope also includes a) the development of a process that would permit wheel-through transactions to reserve import capability and transmission across the ISO system, and b) the associated review of wheel-through priorities when accessing the ISO system.

The paper, along with a presentation, will be available prior to the call on the initiative webpage at https://stakeholdercenter.caiso.com/StakeholderInitiatives/Maximum-import-capability-enhancements.

The call will be recorded and the video file posted on the initiative webpage for a limited time. The recording is for informational and convenience purposes only, and any related transcriptions should not be reprinted without the ISO’s permission.

Please submit written comments on the issue paper by end of day April 1, 2021, through the ISO’s commenting tool using the link on the initiative webpage.
