Text
On
December 30, 2009 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an
order conditionally accepting proposed tariff changes in Docket ER10-188-000
addressing the ISO’s proposed extension of the current grid management
charge (GMC) rates until December 31, 2010 and proposed modifications to the
market usage forward energy (MUFE) charge billing determinants. The ISO
filed an application for approval of the GMC extension and MUFE rate design
modifications on October 30, 2009.
The
order approved an extension of the current GMC through December 31, 2010 except
for the proposed MUFE modifications. The MUFE proposed rate changes were
conditionally accepted and suspended for five months until June 1, 2010, at
which time the charge will become effective subject to refund. The
proposed MUFE charge has been set for evidentiary hearing and settlement judge
procedures.
In
accordance with the order, the current MUFE charge and associated tariff
provisions will remain in effect until June 1, 2010, requiring changes to the
methodology of the rate calculation and forecasted volumes for 2010.
These changes impact the rate for charge code 4537, which will be $.2247
effective January 1, 2010.
Appendix
D of the 2010 Revenue Requirement has been revised to reflect the new
forecast volumes for charge code 4537, as well as the revised rate of
$.2247. No other changes were made to this document. Appendix D is
available on the ISO 2010 Budget Process website at http://www.caiso.com/247d/247deb3549590.pdf.
The
master GMC rates table was also modified to reflect the revised rate effective
January 1, 2010. This document is available at
