Dear Secretary Bose:
On July 23, 2013, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”)
requested a temporary, limited waiver of Sections 23.3.3.3.1.1 and 23.3.3.3.1.2 of
(Attachment H to) its Market Services Tariff (“Waiver Request”).1 The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (“Commission” or “FERC”) issued an order granting the NYISO’s Waiver Request on August 22, 2013 (“August Order”).2 On October 4, 2013, the NYISO
requested a twenty-two day extension of the temporary, limited waiver that the Commission granted in its August Order, from October 23, 2013 to November 14, 2013 (“Waiver Request Extension”). On October 24, 2013, the Commission issued a notice extending the waiver
period until November 14, 2013.3
The NYISO committed, in both its Waiver Request and Waiver Request Extension, to provide notice to the Commission and to its Market Participants at least one week prior to implementing the necessary software improvements.
Consistent with the NYISO’s commitments and the Commission’s August Order, the NYISO is hereby notifying the Commission and Market Participants that it will incorporate Regulation Capacity and Regulation Movement Bids and reference levels into the Real-Time Guarantee Payment (“RTGP”) mitigation software on November 13, 2013.
1 Section 23 of (Attachment H to) the NYISO’s Market Services Tariff sets forth the NYISO’s Market Power Mitigation Measures.
