Initial Allocation of Available Transfer Capability. Firm Transmission Service under this Tariff is obtained when the Transmission Customer agrees to pay the Congestion associated with its service. A Transmission Customer may fix the price of Congestion costs associated with its Firm Transmission Service through the purchase of a sufficient quantity of Transmission Congestion Contracts (“TCCs”), including Fixed Price TCCs that are obtained under Attachment M to this Tariff, with receipt and delivery points corresponding to its Transmission Service. TCCs are solely financial instruments that do not establish any rights to, or the availability of, Transmission Service. For purposes of determining whether existing capability on the NYS Transmission System is adequate to accommodate a request for Firm Transmission Service under this Tariff, the ISO shall employ Security Constrained Unit Commitment (“SCUC”), Real-Time Commitment (“RTC”) and Real-Time Dispatch (“RTD”) programs in accordance with Attachment C. The availability of TCCs will be determined as described in Attachment M.
