Reference: Tariff Revisions to Rename Proxy Generator Bus
On February 13, 2020, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed proposed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff to rename the Proxy Generator Bus that represents the Ontario Control Area.[1] NYISO states that it has determined that more accurate market schedules and Locational Based Marginal Prices (LBMPs) could be developed for interchange transactions between Ontario and New York by moving the Proxy Generator Bus location from the Bruce substation to the Beck substation. NYISO further explains that the proposed name change is intended to avoid confusion such that the Proxy Generator Bus name does not inadvertently link the electrical location of the proxy bus to a physical location that is not representative of the actual Proxy Generator Bus location in the future.
