Subject: Semi-Annual Reports on Demand Response Programs and New Generation
Projects; Docket Nos. ER01-3001-000 and ER03-647-000.

Dear Ms. Bose:

Enclosed for filing in the above-referenced dockets are the New York Independent System Operator’s (“NYISO’s”) Semi-Annual Reports to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) on the NYISO’s Demand Side Management programs and new generation projects in the New York Control Area. This filing is made for
informational purposes only in accordance with the Commission’s delegated orders issued February 19, 2010 and February 23, 2010 in these dockets.

II.Request for Confidential Treatment of Demand Response Report

Attachment A

The attached Semi-Annual Compliance Report on Demand Response Programs (“Demand Response Report”) summarizes the current status of demand response
participation in the NYISO’s markets as of June 1, 2012. The Demand Response Report includes redactions of confidential, commercially sensitive information in Tables 2 and 4. The redactions are submitted separately as Attachment A of the Demand Response Report, which contains the unredacted versions of Tables 2 and 4.

In accordance with Sections 388.107 and 388.112 of the Commission’s

Regulations,1 Article 6 of the NYISO’s Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff, Sections 1.0(4) and 4.0 of the NYISO’s Code of Conduct, the NYISO requests Privileged and Confidential treatment of the contents of Attachment A. The NYISO also requests that the Confidential Attachment be exempted from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. §522.2

The confidential Attachment contains privileged, commercially sensitive, trade

secret information that is not made public by the NYISO. Disclosure of such information
could cause competitive harm to the affected Market Participants,3 and could adversely
affect competition in the markets administered by the NYISO. This information includes
the number of demand response resources in a load zone that, when aggregated, are not
greater than five (5). With such a small number of resources in the load zone, the
NYISO’s aggregation of the data reported for that load zone may not sufficiently mask
confidential and commercially sensitive Market Participant information. Further, because
this confidential, commercially sensitive information is exempt from disclosure under 5
U.S.C. §522(b)(4), the NYISO requests that the contents of Attachment A receive
Privileged and Confidential treatment and be exempt from FOIA disclosure. Attachment

1 18 C.F.R. §§ 388.107 and 388.112 (2011).

2 The information provided by the NYISO for which the NYISO claims an exemption from FOIA disclosure is labeled “Contains Privileged Information - Do Not Release.”

3 Terms with initial capitalization not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the NYISO’s Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff.

Honorable Kimberly D. Bose June 1, 2012

NYISO Report on New Generation Projects
June 1, 2012

In its October 23, 2006 order, the Commission ordered the NYISO to submit “a list of
investments in new generation projects in New York (including a description and current status of each such project), regardless of the stage of project development at the time of the filing.”1 The NYISO keeps a list of Interconnection Requests and Transmission Projects for the New
York Control Area (“NYCA”) that includes information about all generation projects in the State that have requested interconnection.

The NYISO interconnection process is described in two attachments of the NYISO

OATT: Attachment X entitled, “Standard Large Facility Interconnection Procedures,” and

Attachment Z entitled, “Small Generator Interconnection Procedures.” Attachment X applies to Generating Facilities that exceed 20 MW in size and to Merchant Transmission Facilities,
collectively referred to as “Large Facilities.” Attachment Z applies to Generating Facilities no larger than 20 MW.

Under Attachment X, Developers of Large Facilities must submit an Interconnection
Request to the NYISO. The NYISO assigns a Queue Position to all valid Interconnection
Requests. Under Attachment X, proposed generation and transmission projects undergo up to three studies: the Feasibility Study, the System Reliability Impact Study, and the Facilities Study. The Facilities Study is performed on a Class Year basis for a group of eligible projects pursuant to the requirements of Attachment S of the NYISO OATT. Under Attachment Z, proposed small generators undergo a process that is similar, but with different paths and options that are
dependent on the specific circumstances of the project.

Proposed generation and transmission projects currently in the NYISO Interconnection
Process are listed on the list of Interconnection Requests and Transmission Projects for the
NYCA (“NYISO Interconnection Queue”). The generation projects on that list are shown in
Attachment A, which is dated April 30, 2012. The NYISO updates the NYISO Interconnection
Queue on at least a monthly basis and posts the most recent list on the NYISO’s public web site
at http://www.nyiso.com/public/markets_operations/services/planning/documents/index.jsp.

Explanations for the various columns of the list are provided in the notations on the last page of the list. The status of each project on the NYISO Interconnection Queue is shown in the column labeled “S.” An explanation of this column is provided in Attachment B. Also, note that the proposed in-service date for each project is the date provided to the NYISO by the respective Owner/Developer, is updated only on a periodic basis, and is subject to change.

Semi-Annual Compliance Report on Demand Response Programs
June 1, 2012

This report summarizes the current status of demand response participation in the New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO’s) markets as of June 1, 2012. As in previous years, this report focuses on enrolled demand response participation in preparation for the Summer Capability Period.1 A discussion of the current status of several demand response initiatives that the NYISO has underway is also provided below.

Activations of the NYISO’s two reliability-based programs (the Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP) and the Installed Capacity Special Case Resources (ICAP/SCR)) during the Summer 2011Capability Period were reported in the NYISO’s 2011 Demand
Response Annual Report.2

The NYISO has two economic programs, the Day-Ahead Demand Response Program

(DADRP) and the Demand-Side Ancillary Services Program (DSASP). DADRP offer activity is
sporadic and a limited number of resources participate. With the December 2011 release of
technical specifications for Direct Communication for DSASP, interest and activity in DSASP
has increased and there are a limited number of resources working toward implementation of
their communication infrastructure and completion of the market pre-qualification process.

Demand Response Enrollment

This report presents statistical data on demand response enrollment. Demand response
resources include individual retail electricity consumers that enroll to perform their own load

reductions and curtailment service providers, which is a general term used to identify the NYISO Customers that represent end-use customers in the NYISO’s demand response programs.3

Table 1 identifies the number of curtailment service providers by the following organizational categories:

• Aggregators, entities which enroll retail electricity consumers as individual resources that
may be aggregated for treatment as a single resource;

• Direct Customers, entities which register as a Market Participant with the NYISO to

participate on their own behalf in any of the NYISO’s markets, including the NYISO’s demand response programs;

• LSEs, entities which provide commodity service to retail customers; and

• Transmission Owners (TO), the investor- and public authority-owned transmission and
distribution companies that are NYISO Customers located in New York State.

Since the June 2011 Report4, the NYISO’s demand response programs have experienced

3 The term “curtailment service providers” as used in this report refers to Responsible Interface Parties (RIPs) as that term is used in the Installed Capacity Manual, Demand Response Providers (DRPs) as defined in the DADRP Manual, and the four classes of market participants identified in the EDRP
Manual. A retail customer participating in a NYISO demand response program with its own load acts as its own curtailment service provider.

Enrollment in EDRP shows a reduction of 30% in enrolled MW since May 2011. The

largest reductions occurred in Zones G (Hudson), C (Central), and E (Mohawk Valley). Zone F, Capital, shows an increase of 23.1 MW, nearly one third of the MW enrolled for May 2012.
Nominal changes occurred in all other Zones. The changes in enrollment do not necessarily
indicate that there will be a reduction in enrollment of EDRP resources for the Summer 2012
Capability Period because EDRP resources can enroll in the month prior to when the resources expect to participate. For example, in 2011, the enrolled MW increased by 70% between May (88.4 MW) and July 2011 (148.1 MW).

The ICAP/SCR data in Table 3 is based on the enrollments prior to the May ICAP Spot Market Auction. Approximately 8.6% of enrolled MW in ICAP/SCR are attributed to Local Generator resources.

The data in Table 3 shows a MW enrollment decrease of 5% compared with the same

period reported in the June 2011 Report and an 8% reduction in the number of end-use locations. Historic data shows that enrollment in the ICAP/SCR program changes monthly throughout the Summer Capability Period. Between May 2011 and June 2011, for example, there was an
increase of 6% in enrolled end-use locations and an 11% increase in enrolled MW.

Communications for DSASP, the NYISO expects enrollment of individual resources for DSASP. Additional information regarding current activities associated with aggregations for DSASP is
discussed below.

Demand Response Initiatives for 2012

The NYISO is working with its stakeholders on a number of initiatives intended to

improve the administration of its demand response programs, and to address regulatory

directives to facilitate market participation. This section provides a brief synopsis of the efforts to date on these initiatives:

Continued Development of the Demand Response Information System (DRIS)

The NYISO has one planned deployment in June 2012 for DRIS to integrate demand
response event creation and notification into DRIS. This deployment will be used by NYISO
Operators to deploy demand response resources and provide a way for market participants to
respond with an estimate of their anticipated capability directly into DRIS. To familiarize DRIS users with the new capabilities for event notification, the NYISO has scheduled multiple DRIS training sessions and will conduct a communication test shortly after deployment to allow DRIS users to exercise the new features.

Market Rules for Aggregations of Small Demand Resources in the Ancillary Services Market

The NYISO has proposed market rules and procedures for integrating aggregations of
small demand resources into its ancillary service markets through the Demand Side Ancillary
Services Program (DSASP). Presentations to stakeholders on these issues were made in
February, April, and May 2012.5 The NYISO anticipates filing proposed tariff changes in the
late summer 2012.

5 Presentations on Aggregations for DSASP made to the Market Issues Working Group:

Order 745 Compliance Filing on the Feasibility of a Dynamic Net Benefit Tests

As directed in Order 745, the NYISO will make a compliance filing in September 2012 to report on the results of a study to determine the feasibility of integrating a dynamic version of the Net Benefits Test on a real-time basis.

Demand Response in the Real-Time Energy Market

The NYISO will begin work with its stakeholders during the second half of 2012 with the objective to complete a market design for demand response in the real-time energy market by the end of 2012.

Implementation of NYISO’s Order 745 Compliance Filing for a Monthly Net Benefits Test

The NYISO submitted its filing in compliance with Order 745 on August 19, 2011. The
NYISO has identified the changes to its systems and procedures that will be necessary to
implement the compliance filing. Once the NYISO receives an order from the Commission on
its compliance filing, it will assess the implementation plan requirements and schedule.
