Natural gas pipeline penalty recovery
This initiative will consider extending the 2012 Board-approved commitment cost policy to include emergency conditions when ISO and pipeline owner operators are coordinating for reliability reasons. The current policy allows generators to seek recovery of natural gas pipeline penalties, such as those associated with PG&E’s operational flow orders, only in limited, non-emergency circumstances through the ISO bid cost recovery mechanism.
- Outcome
  The initiative concluded that there was not a pressing need for the penalty cost recovery provision, and the ISO did not propose any tariff changes.
