Common use of Goals and Metrics Clause in Contracts

Goals and Metrics. This document focuses on a solution to meet the following goals and requirements: 1. Develop a congestion management process whereby transmission overloads can be prevented through a shared and effective reduction in Flowgate or constraint usage by Reciprocal Entities and adjoining Reliability Coordinators. 2. Agree on a predefined set of Flowgates or constraints to be considered by all Reciprocal Entities, and a process to maintain this set as necessary. 3. Determine the best way to calculate flow due to market impacts on a defined set of Flowgates. 4. Develop Reciprocal Coordination Agreements that establish how each Operating Entity will consider its own Flowgate or constraint usage as well as the usage of other Operating Entities when it determines the amount of Flowgate or constraint capacity remaining. This process will include both operating horizon determination as well as forward looking capacity allocation. 5. Develop a procedure for managing congestion when Flowgates are impacted by both tagged and untagged energy flow. 6. Develop a procedure for determining the priorities of untagged energy flows (created through parallel flows from the market). 7. Agree on steps to be taken by Operating Entities to unload a constraint on a shared basis. 8. Determine whether procedure(s) for managing congestion will differ based on where the Flowgate is located (i.e., inside Reciprocal Entity A, inside Reciprocal Entity B, or outside both Reciprocal Entity A and Reciprocal Entity B). 9. Confirm that the solution will be equitable, transparent, auditable, and independent for all parties. 10. Develop methodology to preserve and accommodate grandfathered transmission rights, contract rights, and other joint-use agreements. 11. Develop methodology to address changes in Total Transfer Capability (TTC), such as future system topology changes, new Designated Network Resources (DNRs), facility uprates/derates, prior outage limitations, etc., with respect to Allocation implications. 12. Develop a methodology for releasing Allocations if other parties do not join the process or if there is ATC going unused.

Develop methodology that defers the use of TLR by having MISO hold its non-firm market flows at the same time XXXX Schedule F is holding its hourly non-firm transmission service.
