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

Proposed Milestones and Deadlines

EPSA concurs with the deadlines suggested in the Mediation Report but feels that a more comprehensive schedule must be outlined to provide the adequate process structure to meet the Commission’s RTO goals. EPSA remains confident that a single SPG can be formed in a timely manner, to provide certainty to the market, steadily reduce business risks for those who invest in both generation and transmission in the Southeast, and provide consumers with the quickest path to a cost-effective market structure – all while maintaining the reliability of the existing system.

The Commission’s September 26th proposal of an aggressive schedule to resolve RTO structural issues should serve to facilitate the rapid formation of the SPG. If the collaborative process includes the Commission’s involvement, EPSA remains confident that the Commission will remain vigilant in maintaining a timely schedule for RTO formation in the Southeast.
