Updating Maximum Interruptible Capacity Values and Forecasted Performance Estimates

Background• ISO determined that Max Interruptible Capacity (MIC) Values for all

demand assets and performance forecasts for passive assets in CAMS had not been kept up-to-date.

• The MIC’s being out of date impacts the monthly DRWG reporting, and the performance forecasts are required by the tariff.

• In March ISO reached out to Participants requesting these updates.

• Due to a software issue in CAMS, Lead Participants could not make these requested updates through the CAMS user interface for some of their assets.

• The issue applied to measures where contact information was not populated, originating from the manual cutover in 2010.

Background (Cont.)

• Last week, a fix was deployed in CAMS that allows Lead Participants to add contact information at the asset level in order to complete the updates– MIC values– 12 month forecasts of performance for passive assets– Other registration parameters

• Previous work-arounds, such as providing this data via CAMS Service Notes, will no longer be needed

• DRA is requesting that MIC and 12 month performance forecasts be completed before June 1, 2014

• The following slides will walk through the updating process

Updating Maximum Interruptible Capacity• The terms “Max Interruptible Capacity” and “Maximum Demand Reduction Value”

are used interchangeably in CAMS.

Adding Additional Performance Estimates

• Performance Estimates can be added as far out into the future as desired, click green plus sign for each additional month

• Months are added sequentially, so data will have to be filled in for all prior years; enter a rough estimate if data is unknown for a past period

• The tariff requires that Lead Participants provide one year of prospective estimates

• For example, estimates for June 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015 should be provided by June 1, 2014.

Summary

• Lead Participants that have assets requiring updates of the MIC value will be provided an email with the list of affected assets.

• Lead Participants that have assets requiring prospective performance estimates should review the assets in their portfolio in a timely manner and make the necessary updates.

• ISO is requesting that Lead Participants give priority to these changes and that they be completed prior to June 1, 2014.
