Anderson 802-770-3220 GMP is a vertically
integrated utility that has Use Rights to a share of the Phase I/II interconnection
facility between ISO-NE and Hydro Quebec TransEnergie
(HQT). GMP uses a portion of the total maximum capacity from this
interconnection along with the Highgate and Derby
Line interconnection facilities to deliver 259.4 MW of firm power and energy
under a long term contract with HQ ("HQ VJO Contract"). The HQ VJO
Contract capacity will decrease to 230.0 MW starting 11/1/2012. The HQ VJO Contract requires purchase by
GMP of energy at an annual load factor of 75%. GMP has unused Phase I/II transmission
capacityin those hours when GMP does not schedule
energy under the HQ VJO Contract and/or when such transmission is not sold
under a bilateral contract, subject to actual TTC. HQ
Interconnection Services §
ISO-NE posts daily on behalf of GMP the GMP
share of TTC for Phase I/II based on a
9.26191% share
of Phase I/II (combined percentage interest per Restated Use Agreement
effective 6/1/2002). The GMP TTC share at maximum is 185.2
based on TTCs of 2000. The Phase I/II share
includes interconnection rights of others per a brokering agreement, which is
described on a separate posting on the GMP OASIS site. § For total TTC for Phase I/II and Highgate, see Hydro Quebec ties , which is updated daily by ISO-NE §
FERC ordered to reinstate the HQ
Interconnection Capacity Credit (HQICC) for the Phase II interconnection. The
ICAP treatment of monthly transactions on Phase II has changed starting
6/1/2010. GMP intends to keep its entire share of the HQICC, so that no HQICC
is transferred to the Transmission Customer. §
GMP is only posting Non-Firm Transmission
Services on the HQ Phase I/II Transmission Paths. § HQ Phase I/II Transmission Paths : Into ISO-NE :
NE/GMP/HQT-ISNE/NEHVDCBORDER-HQ_PHI_OR_II/ Out of ISO-NE:
NE/GMP/ISNE-HQT/Q_PHI_OR_II-NEHVDCBORDER/ Other Services § Local
Network Point-to-Point Service GMP posts rates for service over the GMP Subtransmission System, which are non-PTF
facilities connecting to the PTF system, generally through the VELCO
system, under ISO-NE Open Access RTO Tariff on OASIS. This is found under
the unconstrained "NE/GMP/OTHER/Local" path, (ATC = 9999). Transmission Service Requests § Transmission
Customers of GMP may leave the price field of a transmission service request
blank. If left blank, GMP will interpret the request price as that of the
current rate posted for the highest cost pathname (interface) used by the
request. GMP will reflect this in its seller comments associated with the
request. § The
OASIS product only allows the posting of weekly offerings on a Monday to
Monday basis. Regardless of the postings, transmission customers may request
weekly transmission service for any seven (7) consecutive calendar days. To
determine whether there is sufficient transmission capacity for such a
request, query the daily offerings for the seven days for which service will
be purchased. Transmission Service Reassignment
(Resale) § Transmission
Customers with Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service rights may post those
rights for resale once for each path (interface) used by the rights. To
determine the paths used by the rights go to the ISO-NE Map and
observe which paths (interfaces) are crossed only once as one traces their
organization's rights from Point of Receipt (POR) to Point of Delivery (POD).
Transmission Customers may not post on paths crossed once in each direction.
Such rights make no net use of the path in either direction. If the rights do
not cross any path only once, the rights may be posted by the customer under
the generic interface called "OTHER" (see below). § Regardless
of whether a set of rights crosses an interface or not, a transmission
customer may post those rights for resale under the generic path called
"OTHER". The "OTHER" path represents a generic
aggregation of all unrestricted transmission paths across the GMP
Transmission System. It is posted with an ATC of "9999" to reflect
the fact there is no commercial restriction to short-term commercial
transactions unless those transactions use one or more of the posted paths
(for example, NY to NE). § As
a courtesy for their potential customers, transmission customers posting
rights for resale are strongly recommended to post the POR and POD of the
rights under the "Seller Comments" of the posting. § If
an assignee (the purchaser of rights for resale) desires a change of POR
and/or POD (or any other service specification) on a firm basis, it may be
necessary for GMP to perform a System Impact Study before such specification
changes can be accommodated. The Assignor (the Transmission Customer selling
the rights) may request GMP to evaluate the need for a System Impact Study
prior to accepting a service request from a customer looking to purchase the
assignor's transmission service rights. Requests can be made by contacting
GMP at 1-802-747-5534 (during normal business hours: 8 AM - 5:00 PM,
non-holiday weekdays). GMP will respond to the inquiry under the
"Provider Comments" area of the OASIS (if the transmission service
request to the assignor was made on the OASIS) or under the "Want
Ads" section of the OASIS (if the transmission service request to the
assignor has been made off of the OASIS). If a System Impact Study is
required, a study agreement will have to be entered into between the assignee
and GMP before such study commences. Ancillary Services § Unless
specified in a transmission customer's service agreement, transmission
customers will not be billed for Transmission Scheduling, System Control and
Dispatch Service (T Scheduling) and Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from
Generation Sources Service (Reactive). The cost of scheduling, as stated in Schedule
1 of the ISO New England Inc., FERC Electric Tariff No. 3, Section II Open
Access Transmission Tariff, are included with other Tariff charges. The rates
for Reactive Ancillary Service are provided in Schedule 2, but GMP does not
currently plan to apply this Schedule. § The
cost of Generation Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch Service (G
Scheduling) from GMP (Schedule 1 of the of ISO New England Inc., FERC
Electric Tariff No. 3, Section II Open Access Transmission Tariff) is
included in other charges. § If
a transmission customer is transmitting power to a load located on the GMP
Transmission System, it may need to purchase Regulation and Frequency
Response Service (Regulation), Energy Imbalance Service (Energy Imbalance),
Operating Reserve - Spinning Reserve Service (Spinning Reserve) and Operating
Reserve - Supplemental Reserve Service (Supplemental Reserve) (See Schedules
3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, of ISO New England Inc., FERC Electric Tariff
No. 3, Section II Open Access Transmission Tariff). |
