On October 24, 2013, the Market Interface Committee (MIC) approved a motion 1 to “update the format of the current approved INT-018, keeping the existing language.” In keeping with the Document Categorization Policy (Policy) Regional Business Practices (RBP) “are developed in accordance with the WECC Standards Development Procedures (Procedures) as set forth in Exhibit C to the NERC-WECC Delegation Agreement.”2

Documents developed under the Procedures: 1) will follow a standard format that refers to the Responsible Entities included in the NERC Functional Model, 2) will include mandatory requirements, and 3) may include definitions for any terms included in the document that need to be added to the WECC Glossary. (Procedures, Step 4) Under the Policy, RBPs will also “include adherence measures instead of compliance measures.” (Policy, 3. WECC Regional Business Practices)

It is the intent of the drafting team that the substance of Version Zero be kept while bringing the document into alignment with the Procedures and the Policy.

Implementation Plan

To Be Determined.

1 “If requirements of any WECC document are redundant to or in conflict with a Reliability Standard or a Regional Criterion, then the document shall be reviewed for possible revision or removal.” Document Categorization Policy, Categorization Guidelines. 2

WECC Guidelines are not developed under or subject to the Procedures. Developed as WECC-0106 Page 3 Use of e-Tag Energy Product Codes Specific to the WECC Regional Business PracticeCriteria INT-018-WECC-RBPCRT-1

Definitions of Terms Used in the Standard The drafting team is proposing no change to the existing definitions with the exception of errata. Under the Procedures, the definitions will be moved to the WECC Glossary for WECC Criteria and WECC Regional Business Practices and Naming Conventions (Glossary). The Glossary contains all definitions developed under the Procedures for purposes of WECC Criteria (CRT) and WECC Regional Business Practices (RBP), and also grandfathered terms currently contained in active CRTs and RBPs. The Glossary is currently located on the Documents section of the WECC Standards Home Page. The WECC Standards Committee has taken as an action item the task of ensuring the WECC Glossary is up-to-date. The following are “terms included in the [document] that need to be added to the WECC Glossary.” (Procedures, Step 4) These definitions have not been changed.

Definitions G-F: Firm Energy This product may be curtailed only in the event of a reliability condition or to meet Seller’s public utility or statutory obligations for reliability of service to native load. A G-F product cannot be interrupted for economic reasons.

G-NF: Non-firm Energy This product may be interrupted for any reason or no reason, without liability on the part of either the buyer or seller.

G-FC: Firm Contingent The energy is from a designated generating unit or source. This product may be interrupted only to the extent the output capability of the designated unit or source has been reduced due to a deration or outage of the designated unit or source. A G-FC product cannot be interrupted for economic reasons.

G-FP: Firm Provisional Energy This product may be interrupted only if the interruption is within the recall time and for conditions allowed by applicable provisions governing interruption of service, as mutually agreed to by the parties. A G-FP product cannot be interrupted for economic reasons.

Developed as WECC-0106 Page 5 Use of e-Tag Energy Product Codes Specific to the WECC Regional Business PracticeCriteria INT-018-WECC-RBPCRT-1 G-F1: Hourly Firm Energy This product may be interrupted, consistent with the provisions of the transaction, provided the Purchasing-Selling Entity or Load-Serving Entity receives notification of the interruption 40 minutes or more prior to the start of the operating hour. A G-F1 product cannot be interrupted for economic reasons.

G-EX: Exchange of Firm Energy An exchange of firm energy where by one entity delivers energy to another entity at one point on the grid and receives an agreed upon amount of energy from that entity at another point on the grid.

C-SP: Capacity for Spinning Reserve On-Demand Spinning Reserve obligation/resource is a Spinning Reserve product that can be activated through the adjustment of a capacity e-Tag.

C-NS: Capacity for Non-Spinning Reserve On-Demand Non-Spinning Reserve obligation/resource is a Non-Spinning Reserve product that can be activated through the adjustment of a capacity e-tagTag.

C-RE: Capacity Associated with Energy Recallable for Reserves This product is energy which is recallable within ten minutes of activation of reserves and has been included in the Source Balancing Authorities Authority’s reserve resources.
