Common use of Minimum Generation Limitations Clause in Contracts

Minimum Generation Limitations. The RTC optimization dispatches the NYISO system’s internal generation as needed when the NYCA approaches minimum generation conditions. The RTC does not have information to assess minimum generation conditions within the NECA. Therefore, at CTS Enabled Interfaces, ISO-NE will use the electronic data exchange to provide to NYISO Transfer Limit values that reflect the net interchange level beyond which ISO-NE cannot further dispatch down internal generation while maintaining reliable operations. When ISO-NE sends Transfer Limits for this purpose, the ISO-NE Supply Price Points must also reflect these requirements. ISO-NE shall not send, and NYISO is not required to enforce, a minimum generation Transfer Limit that would require the NYCA to accept energy from the NECA. ISO-NE shall not send both a minimum generation Transfer Limit and Operating Reserve Transfer Limits at the same time.
