Resource Adequacy Modeling and Program Design working group: Policy and Modeling workshops on 11/18/24 and 11/19/24

The California ISO will hold two hybrid Resource Adequacy Modeling and Program Design (RAMPD) policy workshops. The first workshop will be focused on policy on Nov. 18, 2024. A modeling workshop will be held on Nov. 19, 2024. Attendees may choose to participate in person at the ISO, or virtually. If you plan to attend the November 18 RAMPD Policy workshop in person, please register here by end of day November 8. If you plan to attend the November 19 RAMPD Modeling workshop in person, please register here by end of day November 8.

The RAMPD Policy Workshop will focus on the three policy initiative tracks that have emerged from the RAMPD working group. Track 1 will focus on modeling, default rules, and seasonal temperature derates. Track 2 will look at reforming both the ISO’s outage and substitution rules as well as its availability and performance mechanism. Track 3 will address issues related to backstop procurement reform (including resource visibility) and the Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM) Resource Sufficiency Evalution (RSE). The ISO staff will discuss policy development options as discussed in the forthcoming Issue Paper, which will be posted on Nov. 4, 2024. Staff will also answer stakeholder questions about the Issue Paper for the three tracks.

The RAMPD Modeling Workshop will focus on the Track 1 initiative’s modeling items. Specifically, the team will review mid-term and long-term assessment study design, draft inputs, and assumptions and preliminary modeling results.

Materials for both workshops will be available prior to the working group on the Resource Adequacy Modeling and Program Design initiative webpage.

The working group 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 comments on both workshops by Dec. 5, 2024 using the comment template that will be available prior to the call on the webpage linked above.
