The ISO has posted the data request template to collect data for conducting its 2019 Flexible Capacity Needs assessment. Scheduling coordinators of load serving entities must provide the ISO with the variable energy resources contract data by close of business January 15, 2018 using the template.
Please submit the data request template using the Customer Inquiry, Dispute and Information (CIDI) ticket process with 2019 Annual Flex RA Submission in the subject line. The template is available on the ISO website at http://www.caiso.com/informed/Pages/StakeholderProcesses/FlexibleCapacityNeedsTechnicalStudyProcess.aspx.
Late submissions are subject to a $500 per day penalty under section 37.6.1 of the ISO tariff.
The ISO uses the assessment to determine the quantity of flexible capacity needed for the upcoming resource adequacy year and how this quantity is allocated to local regulatory authorities (see tariff section 40.10.1 for additional detail regarding the ISO study).
Note: This submission deadline is on the ISO website calendar at http://www.caiso.com/Pages/Calendar.aspx. The Business Practice Manuals and ISO Tariff are the official records for due dates.
