Last
Update: December 14, 2021, Posting of new Order 845
Implementation Related BPs (Effective
12/15/2021)
The
following are the currently effective versions of
the Business Practices (BPs) that are common and
identical across all of WAPA's Regional Offices, which
includes (DSW, RMR, SNR, and UGP - See Note 1).
The BPs apply to the NERC identified TSPs: CRCM, LAPT,
WALC, WAPA, WASN. Additional BPs specific only to
an individual Region/TSP are also posted on that TSP's
OASIS under the "Business Practices" folder.
Note
1. The UGP Region joined the Southwest Power Pool,
Inc. (SPP) as a transmission owner and transferred
functional control of all of its eligible transmission
facilities to SPP on October 1, 2015. Transmission
service and certain other services
over those UGP Regional transmission facilities are
available solely under the SPP Open Access Transmission
Tariff (SPP Tariff). Ancillary services offered by
the UGP Region as a Balancing Authority operator are also
solely available under the SPP Tariff. Therefore,
certain WAPA BPs
may not be currently applicable, or have limited applicability,
in the UGP Region.
