BPA will discuss changes to the previously proposed framework and the process for moving forward with the Statement of Intent.
Summary for discussion: Proposed Tier 2 Vintage Rate Framework
Purchase Period for Rate: Power at Tier 2 Vintage Rate between FY 2015-2019, with FY 2015-2018 as a back-up. Instead of FY 2014-2018.
Reservation price: TBD
Eligibility: Flat purchase amount across FY 2015-2019 up to FY 2015 forecast Above-RHWM Loads greater than 1 aMW, calculated by June 1, 2011, and rounded down to the next whole average megawatt. Instead of up to FY 2014 forecast Tier 2 Short-Term rate amounts.
Default: Tier 2 Short-term rate or Unspecified Resource Amounts depending on election made in SOI and concurrently made for 9/30/11 election deadline. Instead of Tier 2 Short-Term amounts only.
Process: Fast track with intended release of 6/1/11 and customer signing deadline of 6/30/11. SOI will state that AHWM load election is made for amount subscribed to in SOI at time of signing SOI. Additional commitment: BPA commits to continue to take the time this summer to develop with interested parties a second vintage rate option that would address some of the other comments received that were ultimately not incorporated in this fast track vintage rate alternative.
Newly added part of process:
Confidentiality: Eligible customers interested in entering into negotiations for the final SOI will be asked to sign a confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement as a condition of participating in those negotiations.
