There is a need to resolve ongoing settlement disputes from Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) regarding its Transmission Exchange Agreement with CAISO and PG&E. This treatment is specific to the mentioned agreement, which exempts certain WAPA schedules from a range of settlement charges that would otherwise apply. There will be an update to WAPA’s transmission contract entitlement in relation to transmission contract use after the Day-Ahead market. Further, specific exemption (neither charged nor paid) for flexible ramp product is also applied, in relation to the mentioned agreement.
System changes are not required for market participants aside from WAPA.
Configuration guides as listed above have been updated for documentation to reflect the changes.
