FERC Approves Market Redesign Changes Proposed by California ISO
LCG, September 22, 2006--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) unanimously approved the Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) program submitted by the California Independent System Operator (California ISO). The MRTU is designed to improve the electricity market structure in California to enable a more efficient and competitive market to evolve.
Key elements of the MRTU include: a financially binding, day-ahead energy market, or Integrated Forward Market; the use by the California ISO of a Full Network Model of the grid to forecast and identify transmission congestion as a tool in managing congestion; simultaneous consideration of energy and ancillary services (reserves); Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP); and strengthening resource adequacy requirements for load-serving entities.
The FERC also directed the California ISO to expand upon price-responsive demand programs within sixty days of the order. Furthermore, the FERC directs the California ISO to schedule technical conferences to address commenter concerns, including operational rules regarding seams issues with other transmission service providers in the West.
The MRTU is scheduled to be implemented in November 2007.
