​Reliability coordinator services rate design, terms and conditions

This initiative will determine the necessary tariff changes to describe the rate, terms and conditions that support the ISO’s provision to become a Reliability Coordinator (RC), in compliance with federal and regional grid reliability standards. The ISO will follow its open and transparent stakeholder process with all interested balancing authorities and transmission operators in the Western Interconnection to discuss the proposed RC services.

On Nov. 14, 2018, FERC accepted the ISO’s proposed tariff changes that determine the rate, terms and conditions that support the ISO’s provision to become a Reliability Coordinator (RC), in compliance with federal and regional grid reliability standards. The ISO became the official RC of record – RC West – effective Nov. 1, 2019.
