rules change

The proposed amendments are intended to provide guidelines for trading participants and plants operators in managing the dispatch of their generating units in the event of having dispatch schedules below their minimum stable load or Pmin.

BACKGROUND:

The proposed amendments were originally initiated by PEMC on 02 October 2024 by way of the rules change process for urgent amendments. Following the procedures for processing urgent proposals set forth in Section 7 of the Rules Change Manual, the RCC certified the proposal as urgent, immediately deliberated on the proposal on 10 October 2024, and approved it on 22 October 2024.

The urgent amendments shall remain in effect up to 6 months or until a general amendment on the same matter has been approved by the DOE and becomes continuously in effect, whichever comes first. The updated market rules and manuals could be accessed in this webpage.
