Initial Comments
Q.  Without the ability to use “qualifying contractual limitations” as criteria for use limitations, what should PDR units utilize going forward to model their use limitations? Does the CAISO recognize PDR contract limits as “design considerations” or as “environmental restrictions”?

A.  Assuming that the appropriate documentation is submitted, PDRs can qualify for use limitations under the “design considerations” type. As noted in section 2.1.15.1.6 of the BPM for Market Operations, PDRs “… have design limitations due to programmatic limitations that refer to the maximum events or hours per a deliverability period for which customers are expected to be willing to curtail or deploy state of charge when called upon.” This designation was discussed and concluded upon in the Commitment Costs Enhancement – Phase 3 (CCE3) initiative and was carried into the BPMs at the implementation of CCE3 in 2019.

Q. The CAISO should explain the rationale behind the proposed change and the reason of proposing rules different than CAISO Tariff.

A.  There is no difference between the requirements from the CAISO Tariff and the clarifications of the tariff provided in the BPM for Market Operations. While Tariff section 30.4.6.1.1 does enumerate qualifying contractual limitations as an acceptable use limitation, it then goes on to explain that these limitations have a sunset date of: “Effective April 1, 2022, no contractual limitations will constitute qualifying contractual limitations that satisfy the requirements of this Section.” Thus, through this PRR, the CAISO is updating the BPMs to mirror the requirements of the Tariff.
