Regulation, Ramping RA Obligation for California LSEs Deferred to Future Rulemaking
An Assigned Commissioner's Ruling from California PUC Commissioner Mark Ferron defers issues raised in the R.09-10-032 resource adequacy proceeding by the California ISO and Cogeneration Association of California (CAC) to a new resource adequacy (RA) rulemaking, which Ferron expects to place on the PUC's agenda in October 2011. Specifically, CAISO had sought to address the development of a non-generic capacity procurement requirement process to add resource operational characteristics such as regulation and ramping load following capabilities into the resource adequacy procurement requirements. CAC had contended that the current definition of "system peak demand" results in an undervaluation of the RA capacity from combined heat and power facilities, which, in turn, causes an unnecessary and expensive procurement burden for ratepayers.
