11/26/2024:
Initial Notification of Planned OATT Revision 24-01 (Order 881
Compliance Date Extension), Posting of Proposed OATT Revision
24-01 Redline Documents
WAPA is proposing OATT Revision 24-01 to update
the Effective Date of Attachment U (Transmission Line Ratings)
from July 12, 2025, to October 2, 2028, to address the necessary
delay in FERC Order 881 compliance for the WAPA CRSP, DSW, RMR,
and SN Regions. See announcement here: WAPA-OATT-Revision-24-01-Announcement.pdf.
The necessary delay in Order 881 compliance for the WAPA
CRSP, DSW, RM, and SN regions is a result of WAPA statutory
limitations, and therefore, WAPA did not identify the need to hold
an information meeting to present the proposed 24-01 OATT
revisions to stakeholders, or to request comments. The WAPA
filing letter to FERC outlines the reasons for the necessary delay
in Order 881 compliance, and the WAPA proposed new compliance date
of October 2, 2028. Only the Effective Date of Attachment U is
changed. Attachment U was previously added to the WAPA OATT
under OATT Revision 22-02 and accepted by FERC under Docket No.
EF23-5-000 on June 12, 2024.
WAPA has posted the proposed
OATT Revision 24-01 Redline document below:
WAPA-OATT-Revision-24-01-OATT-Redline-for-Filing.pdf;
Proposed update to Effective Date of Attachment U
Next Steps:
• WAPA plans filing OATT Revision 24-01 to
FERC on December 6, 2024
• Requested Approval of OATT Revisions (~60
days after WAPA filing, expected February 4, 2025)
