Reference: Tariff Revisions to Implement Modified Requirements for External Installed Capacity Suppliers

On June 11, 2019, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff,[1] to implement modified requirements for External Installed Capacity Suppliers and External Generators that are associated with an Unforced Capacity sale to New York using Unforced Capacity Delivery Rights or External-to-ROS Deliverability Rights. NYISO states that the proposed changes are expected to enhance NYISO’s access to energy from External Capacity Suppliers and to reduce the risk that capacity-backed transactions from External Capacity Suppliers to the New York Control Area (NYCA) will be curtailed. NYISO adds that this improvement will enhance NYCA grid reliability by better aligning External Capacity Supplier obligations with the requirements that apply to Installed Capacity Suppliers located in NYCA.
