Abstract

The present Regulation is made under the Electric Utilities Act. In particular, the Regulation provides for an off-tariff approach to steering new generating facilities to high-demand areas. The incentives took the form of “system contribution payments” and “loss charges. ”System contribution payments” are one-time charges to new generators that vary depending upon the plant location in relation to the transmission system. The payments ultimately are refundable. Loss charges are based on a generator’s average impact on transmission losses, and are adjusted annually. The text consists of 54 sections divided into 8 Parts as follows: ISO’s Consultation obligations and additional duties (1); Transmission system planning (2); Transmission system criteria and reliability standards (3); Transmission facility projects (4); Local interconnection costs and transmission contribution costs (5); Transmission system losses, charges and credits (6); Commission responsibilities (7); Time period extension, paramountcy, recovery of must-run costs, transition, repeal and expiry (8).
