California Independent System Operator Corporation; Notice of
Technical Conference
October 21, 2008.
On June 27, 2008, the California Independent System Operator
Corporation (CAISO) filed an amendment to its Market Redesign and
Technology (MRTU) Tariff pursuant to section 205 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA) and section 35.13 of the Commission's regulations.\1\ In its
filing, the CAISO proposed market power mitigation measures to apply to
Exceptional Dispatch instructions issued in circumstances where
resources could exercise local market power. The CAISO also proposed
modifications to the MRTU Tariff to clarify a number of Exceptional
Dispatch provisions. On October 16, 2008, under section 205 of the FPA,
the Commission issued an order \2\ accepting and suspending the
proposed revisions, subject to refund, pending the Commission's
decision in a section 206 investigation. In that order, the Commission
established a section 206 investigation and directed Staff to convene a
technical conference to further explore the CAISO's Exceptional
Dispatch mechanism and proposed mitigation plan.
