Commissioner Moeller's statement on California MRTU Seams
Technical Conference - December 14-15, 2006
“The Commission and its staff made a significant effort
last week to travel to Phoenix, Arizona to conduct the seams
technical conference that we announced in our Market Redesign
and Technology Update (MRTU) order issued on September 21, 2006.
I appreciated the Arizona Corporation Commissioners’ presence
at the technical conference and their graciousness during our
visit to Phoenix. I thought the technical conference was an excellent
use of our time. The dialogue among all the conference participants
was good. I think we have some accountability from parties that
proposed to work together to resolve the seams issues, which
were not created by the MRTU order, but still need to be addressed.
As my colleagues mentioned, I think it is necessary to note that
no parties claimed that there were operational issues that needed
to be addressed prior to the start up of MRTU. I look forward
to receiving progress reports from the California Independent
System Operator Corporation and other interested entities as
well as Western Electricity Coordinating Council on their efforts
in addressing the seams issues debated at the technical conference.
I, and my fellow Commissioners, indicated a willingness to involve
the Commission and its staff in helping address matters if the
discussion among the interested entities begins to stall or stagnate.”
