COMMENTS OF THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY ASSOCIATION ON THE MEDIATION REPORT FOR THE SOUTHEAST RTO

Tariff Administration and Design (Function 1):

EPSA believes that a viable power market in the Southeast can best be accomplished if all contracts are subject to the same rates, terms and conditions specified in the SPG Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). The CGM Model comes significantly closer to reaching this goal than the SeTrans Model. In particular, the CGM Model places all load, including service on behalf of retail and bundled existing agreements, under the OATT. Having all load subject to the same terms and conditions and subject to the same pricing provisions ensures that all parties are treated in a comparable fashion and avoids the perception that some customers will be treated differently. In addition, the CGM Model would eliminate the need for scheduled interchange between sub-areas of the RTO.

The CGM Model would settle all schedules and bilateral transactions based on the least-cost, security-constrained RTO-wide economic dispatch. Only this approach achieves the increased market scope and open access to the market, which the Commission stressed in Order No. 2000.
