TRANSMISSION CONTROL AGREEMENT
Among
The Independent System Operator
and
Transmission Owners

The Parties to this Transmission Control Agreement ("Agreement") first dated as of , , are

(1) The California Independent System Operator Corporation, a California nonprofit public benefit Corporation (the "Independent System Operator" or "ISO" which expression includes its permitted successors); and

(2) Entities owning or holding Entitlements to transmission lines and associated facilities who subscribe to this Agreement ("Transmission Owners" or "TOs", which expression includes their permitted successors and assigns).

This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts:

(i) The Legislature of the State of California enacted Assembly Xxxx 1890 ("AB 1890") that addressed the restructuring of the California electric industry in order to increase competition in the provision of electricity.

(ii) AB 1890 provides the means for transforming the regulatory framework of California's electric industry in ways to meet the objectives of the law.

(iii) In order to create a new market structure, AB 1890 establishes an Independent System Operator ("ISO") with centralized control of a state-wide transmission grid charged with ensuring the efficient use and reliable operation of the transmission system.

(iv) AB 1890 states that it is the intention of the California Legislature that California transmission owners commit control of their transmission facilities to the ISO with the assurances provided in the law that the financial interests of such TOs will be protected.

(v) Each TO: (1) owns, operates, and maintains transmission lines and associated facilities; and/or (2) has Entitlements to use certain transmission lines and associated facilities, with responsibilities attached thereto.

(vi) Each TO, upon satisfying the criteria for becoming a Participating TO under Section 2.2 of this Agreement, will transfer to the ISO Operational Control of certain transmission lines and associated facilities which are to be incorporated by the ISO into the ISO Controlled Grid for the purpose of allowing them to be controlled as part of an integrated Control Area.

(vii) Each Participating TO will continue to own and maintain its transmission lines and associated facilities, if any, and will retain its Entitlements, if any, and associated responsibilities.

(viii) The ISO intends to provide to each Participating TO access to the ISO Controlled Grid while exercising its Operational Control for the benefit of all Market Participants by providing non-discriminatory transmission access, Congestion Management, grid security, and Control Area services.

(ix) Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E"), and Southern California Edison Company ("Edison") (each a Participating TO) are entering into this agreement transferring Operational Control of their transmission facilities in reliance upon California Public Utilities Code Sections 367, 368, 375, 376 and 379 enacted as part of AB 1890 which contain assurances and schedules with respect to recovery of transition costs.

(x) The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to establish the terms and conditions under which TOs will become Participating TOs and how the ISO and each Participating TO will discharge their respective duties and responsibilities.

In consideration of the above and the covenants and mutual agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

2.3. Tax Exempt Debt.

2.3.1 Municipal Tax-Exempt TOs. In the event a Municipal Tax-Exempt TO executes this Agreement in reliance upon this Section 2.3, it shall provide written notice thereof to the ISO. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, except for this Section 2.3, no other provisions of this Agreement shall become effective with respect to a Municipal Tax-Exempt TO until such Municipal Tax-Exempt TO's nationally recognized bond counsel renders an opinion, generally of the type regarded as unqualified in the bond market, that participation in the ISO Controlled Grid in accordance with this Agreement will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of any Municipal Tax-Exempt Debt issued by, or for the benefit of, the Municipal Tax-Exempt TO. A Municipal Tax-Exempt TO shall promptly seek, in good faith, to obtain such unqualified opinion from its bond counsel at the earliest opportunity. Upon receipt of such unqualified opinion, a Municipal Tax-Exempt TO shall provide a copy of the opinion to the ISO and all other provisions of this Agreement shall become effective with respect to such Municipal Tax-Exempt TO as of the date thereof. If the Municipal Tax-Exempt TO is unable to provide to the ISO such unqualified opinion within one year of the execution of this Agreement by the Municipal Tax-Exempt TO, without further act, deed or notice this Agreement shall be deemed to be void ab initio with respect to such Municipal Tax-Exempt TO.

2.3.2 Acceptable Encumbrances. A Transmission Owner that has issued Local Furnishing Bonds may become a Participating TO under Section 2.2 even though covenants or restrictions applicable to the Transmission Owner's Local Furnishing Bonds require the ISO's Operational Control to be exercised subject to Encumbrances, provided that such Encumbrances do not materially impair the ISO's ability to meet its obligations under the ISO Tariff or the Transmission Owner's ability to comply with the TO Tariff.

2.3.3 Savings Clause. Nothing in this Agreement shall compel any Participating TO or Municipal Tax-Exempt TO which has issued Tax-Exempt Debt to violate restrictions applicable to transmission facilities financed with Tax-Exempt Debt or contractual restrictions and covenants regarding use of transmission facilities.

3. EFFECTIVE DATE, TERM AND WITHDRAWAL

3.1. Effective Date.

Any withdrawal from this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3.1 or Section 3.3.2 shall be contingent upon the withdrawing party obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals for such withdrawal. The withdrawing Participating TO shall make a good faith effort to ensure that its withdrawal does not unduly impair the ISO's ability to meet its Operational Control responsibilities as to the facilities remaining within the ISO Controlled Grid.

3.3.4 Publication of Withdrawal Notices. The ISO shall inform the public through WEnet or the ISO internet website of all notices received under this Section 3.3.

3.4 Withdrawal Due to Adverse Tax Action.

3.4.1 Right to Withdraw Due To Adverse Tax Action. Subject to Sections 3.4.2 through 3.4.4, in the event an Adverse Tax Action Determination identifies an Impending Adverse Tax Action or an Actual Adverse Tax Action, a Tax Exempt Participating TO may exercise its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons. The right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, shall not be subject to any approval by the ISO, the FERC or any other Party.

3.4.2 Adverse Tax Action Determination.

3.4.2.1 A Tax Exempt Participating TO shall provide to all other Parties written notice of an Adverse Tax Action Determination and a copy of the Tax Exempt Participating TO's (or its joint action agency's) nationally recognized bond counsel's opinion or an IRS determination supporting such Adverse Tax Action Determination. Such written notice shall be provided promptly under the circumstances, but in no event more than 15 working days from the date of receipt of such documents.

3.4.2.2 The Adverse Tax Action Determination shall include (i) the actual or projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action and (ii) a description of the transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements that were financed in whole or in part with proceeds of the Tax Exempt Debt that is the subject of such Adverse Tax Action Determination. A Tax Exempt Participating TO shall promptly notify all other Parties in writing in the event the actual or projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action changes. The Tax Exempt Participating TO's determination of the actual or projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action shall be binding upon all Parties.

3.4.2.3 Any transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements of the Tax Exempt Participating TO not identified in both the Adverse Tax Action Determination and the written notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons shall remain under the ISO's Operational Control.

3.4.3 Withdrawal Due to Impending Adverse Tax Action. A Tax Exempt Participating TO may Withdraw for Tax Reasons prior to an Actual Adverse Tax Action if such Tax Exempt Participating TO provides prior written notice of its Withdrawal for Tax Reasons to all other Parties as required in Sections 3.4.3(i) through 3.4.3(iv).

i. In the event the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination is seven months or more from the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, then a Tax Exempt Participating TO that exercises its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons shall provide prior written notice of its

Withdrawal for Tax Reasons to all other Parties at least six months in advance of the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action.

ii. In the event the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination is less than seven months but more than two months from the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, then a Tax Exempt Participating TO that exercises its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons shall provide prior written notice of its Withdrawal for Tax Reasons to all other Parties at least 30 days in advance of the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action.

iii. In the event the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination is between two months and one month from the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, then a Tax Exempt Participating TO that exercises its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons shall provide prior written notice of its Withdrawal for Tax Reasons to all other Parties at least 15 days in advance of the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action.

iv. In the event the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination is less than one month from the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, then a Tax Exempt Participating TO shall have up to 15 days following the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination to exercise its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons, and if so exercised shall provide no later than one day thereafter written notice of its Withdrawal for Tax Reasons to all other Parties.

v. With respect to Sections 3.4.3(i) through 3.4.3(iii), upon receipt by the ISO of a notice to Withdraw for Tax Reasons, the ISO shall promptly begin working with the applicable Tax Exempt Participating TO to relinquish the ISO's Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements to such Tax Exempt Participating TO, provided that such Operational Control must be relinquished by the ISO no later than five days prior to the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action. With respect to Section 3.4.3(iv), (1) if the notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons is received by the ISO at least six days prior to the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements must be relinquished by the ISO to such Tax Exempt Participating TO no later than five days prior to the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, or (2) if the notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons is received by the ISO any time after six days prior to the projected date of the Actual Adverse Tax Action, the ISO shall on the next day relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements to such Tax Exempt Participating TO.

3.4.4 Withdrawal Due to Actual Adverse Tax Action. In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Actual Adverse Tax Action, the affected Tax Exempt Participating TO may immediately Withdraw for Tax Reasons. The Tax Exempt Participating TO shall have up to 15 days from the date of the Adverse Tax Action Determination with respect to an Actual Adverse Tax Action to exercise its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons. If the Tax Exempt Participating TO determines to exercise its right to Withdraw for Tax Reasons, upon receipt of the notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons, the ISO shall immediately relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements to such Tax Exempt Participating TO.

3.4.5 Alternate Date To Relinquish Operational Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, the ISO and a Tax Exempt Participating TO who has provided a notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons may mutually agree in writing to an alternate date that the ISO shall relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements to such Tax Exempt Participating TO. If the ISO or a Tax Exempt Participating TO who has provided a notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons desires an alternate date from the date provided in Sections 3.4.3(i) through 3.4.3(v)(1) for the ISO to relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements to such Tax Exempt Participating TO, such party promptly shall give written notice to the other, and each agrees to negotiate in good faith, for a reasonable

period of time, to determine whether or not they can reach mutual agreement for such an alternate date; provided, however, such good faith negotiations are not required to be conducted during the five days preceding the date provided in Sections 3.4.3(i) through 3.4.3(v)(1) for the ISO to relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements.

3.4.6 Procedures to Relinquish Operational Control. The ISO shall implement a procedure jointly developed by all Parties to relinquish Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities, or Entitlements as provided in this Section 3.4.

3.4.7 Right to Rescind Notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons. At any time up to two days prior to the ISO's relinquishment to the Tax Exempt Participating TO of Operational Control over the affected transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements, a Tax Exempt Participating TO may rescind its notice of Withdrawal for Tax Reasons by providing written notice thereof to all other Parties, and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the ISO.

3.4.8 Amendment of Agreement. Following the relinquishment by the ISO of Operational Control of facilities, recognizing Entitlements of a non-public utility in accordance with this Section 3.4, the ISO promptly shall prepare the necessary changes to this Agreement and to the ISO Tariff (if any), make a filing with FERC pursuant to Section 205 of the FPA, and take whatever other regulatory action, if any, that is required to properly reflect the Withdrawal for Tax Reasons.

3.4.9 Provision of Information by ISO. To assist Tax Exempt Participating TOs in identifying at the earliest opportunity Impending Adverse Tax Actions or Actual Adverse Tax Actions, the ISO promptly shall provide to Participating TOs any non-confidential information regarding any ISO plans, actions or operating protocols that the ISO believes might adversely affect the tax-exempt status of any Tax Exempt Debt issued by, or for the benefit of, a Tax Exempt Participating TO.

3.4.10 Publication of Notices. The ISO shall inform the public through WEnet or the ISO internet website of all notices received under this Section 3.4.

4. Transfer of Operational Control

4.1. TO Facilities and Rights Provided to the ISO.

4.1.1 ISO Controlled Grid. Subject to Section 4.1.2 and the treatment of Existing Contracts under Sections 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 of the ISO Tariff and subject to the applicable interconnection, integration, exchange, operating, joint ownership and joint participation agreements, each Participating TO shall place under the ISO's Operational Control the transmission lines and associated facilities forming part of the transmission network that it owns or to which it has Entitlements, except that Western shall only be required to place under the ISO's Operational Control the transmission lines and associated facilities that it owns or to which it has Entitlements as set forth in Appendix A (Western). The Initial Transmission Owners identified in Section 2.1.1 shall be deemed to have placed such transmission lines and associated facilities under the ISO's Operational Control as of the date the CPUC or its delegate declares to be the start date for direct access pursuant to CPUC Decisions 00-00-000 and 00-00-000. Any transmission lines or associated facilities that the ISO determines not to be necessary to fulfill the ISO's responsibilities under the ISO Tariff in accordance with Section 4.1.3 of this Agreement shall not be treated as part of a Participating TO's network for the purposes of this Section 4.1. The ISO shall recognize the rights and obligations of owners of jointly-owned facilities which are placed under the ISO's Operational Control by one or more but not all of the joint owners. The ISO shall, in exercise of Operational Control transferred to it, ensure that the operating obligations, as specified by the Participating TO pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of this Agreement, for the contracts referenced in Appendix B are performed. Any other terms of such contracts shall not be the

responsibility of the ISO. The following transmission lines and associated facilities are also deemed not to form part of a Participating TO's transmission network:

i. directly assignable radial lines and associated facilities interconnecting generation (other than those facilities which may be identified from time to time interconnecting ISO Controlled Grid Critical Protective Systems or Generators contracted to provide Black Start or Voltage Support) and

ii. lines and associated facilities classified as "local distribution" facilities in accordance with FERC's applicable technical and functional test and other facilities excluded consistent with FERC established criteria for determining facilities subject to ISO Operational Control.

4.1.2 Transfer of Facilities by Local Furnishing Participating TOs. This Section 4.1.2 is applicable only to the enlargement of transmission capacity by Local Furnishing Participating TOs. The ISO shall not require a Local Furnishing Participating TO to enlarge its transmission capacity except pursuant to an order under Section 211 of the FPA directing the Local Furnishing Participating TO to enlarge its transmission capacity as necessary to provide transmission service as determined pursuant to Section 3.2.9 of the ISO Tariff. If an application under Section 211 of the FPA is filed by an eligible entity (or the ISO acting as its agent), the Local Furnishing Participating TO shall thereafter, within 10 days of receiving a copy of the Section 211 application, waive its right to a request for service under Section 213(a) of the FPA and to the issuance of a proposed order under Section 212(c) of the FPA. Upon receipt of a final order from FERC under Section 211 of the FPA that is no longer subject to rehearing or appeal, such Local Furnishing Participating TO shall enlarge its transmission capacity to comply with that FERC order and shall transfer to the ISO Operational Control over its expanded transmission facilities in accordance with this Section 4.

4.1.3 Refusal of Facilities. The ISO may refuse to exercise Operational Control over certain of an applicant's transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements if it determines during the processing of an application under Section 2.2 that any one or more of the following conditions exist:

i. The transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements do not meet or do not permit the ISO to meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria and the applicant fails to give the ISO a written undertaking to take all good faith actions necessary to ensure that those transmission lines, facilities or Entitlements, as the case may be, meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria within a reasonable period from the date of the applicant's application under Section 2.2 as determined by the ISO.

ii. The transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements are subject to Encumbrances that unduly impair the ISO's ability to exercise its Operational Control over them in accordance with the ISO Tariff and the applicant fails to give the ISO a written undertaking to negotiate in good faith to the extent permitted by the applicable contract the removal of the Encumbrances identified by the ISO which preclude it from using unused capacity on the relevant transmission lines. If the applicant provides such written undertaking but is unable to negotiate the removal of such Encumbrances to the extent required by the ISO, the ADR Procedure shall be used to resolve any disputes between the ISO and the applicant. For this purpose, Non-Participating TOs may utilize ISO ADR procedures on a voluntary basis.

iii. The transmission lines, associated facilities and Entitlements are located in a Control Area outside of California, are operated under the direction of another Control Area or independent system operator, and cannot be integrated into the ISO Controlled Grid due to technical considerations.

If the ISO refuses to accept any of an applicant's transmission lines, facilities or Entitlements, then that applicant shall have the right to notify the ISO within a reasonable period from being notified of such refusal that it will not proceed with its application under Section 2.2.

4.1.4 Facilities Initially Placed Under the ISO's Operational Control. The transmission lines, associated facilities and Entitlements which each Participating TO places under the ISO's Operational Control on the date that this Agreement takes effect with respect to it shall be identified in Appendix A.

4.1.5 Warranties. Each Participating TO warrants that as of the date on which it becomes a Participating TO pursuant to Section 2.2.5:

i. the transmission lines and associated facilities that it is placing under the ISO's Operational Control and the Entitlements that it is making available for the ISO's use are correctly identified in Appendix A (as amended in accordance with this Agreement); that the Participating TO has all of the necessary rights and authority to place such transmission lines and associated facilities under the ISO's Operational Control subject to the terms and conditions of all agreements governing the use of such transmission lines and associated facilities; and that the Participating TO has the necessary rights and authority to transfer the use of such Entitlements to the ISO subject to the terms and conditions of all agreements governing the use of such Entitlements;

ii. the transmission lines and associated facilities that it is placing under the ISO's Operational Control are not subject to any Encumbrances except as disclosed in Appendix B (as amended in accordance with this Agreement);

iii. the transmission lines and associated facilities that it is placing under the ISO's Operational Control meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria (ARC) for the relevant Participating TO except as disclosed in writing to the ISO. As to the Local Reliability Criteria component of ARC, each Participating TO has provided the ISO with such information required to identify such Participating TO's Local Reliability Criteria.

4.2. The ISO Register.

4.2.1 Register of Facilities Subject to ISO Operational Control. The ISO shall maintain a register (the "ISO Register") of all transmission lines, associated facilities and Entitlements that are for the time being subject to the ISO's Operational Control. The ISO Register shall also indicate those facilities over which the ISO has asserted temporary control pursuant to Section 4.5.2 and whether or not the ISO has commenced proceedings under Section 203 of the FPA in relation to them.

4.2.2 Contents. The ISO Register shall disclose in relation to each transmission line and associated facility subject to the ISO's Operational Control:

i. the identity of the Participating TO responsible for its operation and maintenance and its owner(s) (if other than the Participating TO);

ii. the date on which the ISO assumed Operational Control over it and, in the case of transmission lines and associated facilities over which it has asserted temporary Operational Control, the date on which it relinquished Operational Control over it;

iii. the date of any change in the identity of the Participating TO responsible for its operation and maintenance or in the identity of its owner; and

iv. its applicable ratings.

4.2.3 Updates. In order to keep the ISO Register current, each Participating TO shall submit an ISO Register change for each addition or removal of a transmission line or associated facility or Entitlement from the ISO's Operational Control or any change in a transmission line or associated facility's ownership, rating or the identity of the responsible Participating TO. The ISO shall review each ISO Register change for accuracy and to assure that all requirements of this Agreement have been met. If the ISO determines that a submitted ISO Register change is accurate and meets all the requirements of this Agreement, the ISO will modify the ISO Register to incorporate such change by the end of the next Business Day. The ISO may determine that an ISO Register change cannot be implemented due to (a) lack of clarity or necessary information, or (b) conflict between the revised rating and applicable contractual, regulatory or legal requirements including operating considerations, or other conflict with the terms of this Agreement. In such event, the ISO promptly will communicate to the Participating TO the reason that the ISO cannot implement the ISO Register change and will work with the Participating TO in an attempt to resolve promptly the concerns leading to the ISO's refusal to implement an ISO Register change. The ISO consent required with respect to a sale, assignment, release, transfer or other disposition of transmission lines, associated facilities or Entitlements as provided in Section 4.4 hereof shall not be withheld by the ISO as a result of an ISO determination that an ISO Register change cannot be implemented pursuant to this Section 4.2.3.

4.2.4 Publication. The ISO shall make the ISO Register information for a given Participating TO available to that same Participating TO on WEnet or a secure ISO-maintained internet website. The ISO will provide a copy of the ISO Register information to other entities that can demonstrate a legitimate need for the information in accordance with screening procedures posted on the ISO Home Page and filed with FERC.

4.2.5 Duty to Maintain Records.

26.2. Non-Waiver.

Any waiver at any time by any Party of its rights with respect to any default under this Agreement, or with respect to any other matter arising in connection with this Agreement, shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver with respect to any subsequent default or other matter arising in connection with this Agreement. Any delay short of the statutory period of limitations in asserting or enforcing any right shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver.

26.3. Confidentiality.

26.3.1 ISO. The ISO shall maintain the confidentiality of all of the documents, materials, data, or information ("Data") provided to it by any other Party that reflects or contains: (a) Data treated as confidential or commercially sensitive under the confidentiality provisions of Section 20.3 of the ISO Tariff; (b) critical energy infrastructure information, as defined in Section 388.113(c)(1) of the FERC's regulations (c) technical information and materials that constitute valuable, confidential, and proprietary information, know-how, and trade secrets belonging to a Party, including, but not limited to, information relating to drawings, maps, reports, specifications and records and/or software, data, computer models, and related documentation; or (d) Data that was previously public information but that was removed from public access in accordance with FERC's policy statement issued on October 11, 2001 in Docket No. PL02-1-000 in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

26.3.2 Other Parties. No Party shall have a right hereunder to receive from the ISO or to review any documents, data or other information of another Party to the extent such documents, data or information are required to be kept confidential in accordance with Section 26.3.1 above, provided, however, that a Party may receive and review any composite documents, data, and other information that may be developed based upon such confidential documents, data, or information, if the composite document does not disclose any individual Party's confidential data or information.

26.3.3 Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 26.3 to the contrary, if the ISO is required by applicable laws or regulations, or in the course of administrative or judicial proceedings, to disclose information that is otherwise required to be maintained in confidence pursuant to this Section 26.3, the ISO may disclose such information; provided, however, that as soon as the ISO learns of the disclosure requirement and prior to making such disclosure, the ISO shall notify the affected Party or Parties of the requirement and the terms thereof. The affected Party or Parties may, at their sole discretion and own costs, direct any challenge to or defense against the disclosure requirement and the ISO shall cooperate with such affected Party or Parties to the maximum extent practicable to minimize the disclosure of the information consistent with applicable law. The ISO shall cooperate with the affected Parties to obtain proprietary or confidential treatment of confidential information by the person to whom such information is disclosed prior to any such disclosure.

26.4. Third Party Beneficiaries.

The Parties do not intend to create rights in, or to grant remedies to, any third party as a beneficiary of this Agreement or of any duty, covenant, obligation, or undertaking established hereunder.

26.5. Relationship of the Parties.

The covenants, obligations, rights, and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement are intended to be several and not joint or collective, and nothing contained herein shall ever be construed to create an association, joint venture, trust, or partnership, or to impose a trust or partnership covenant, obligation, or liability on, or with regard to, any of the Parties. Each Party shall be individually responsible for its own covenants, obligations, and liabilities under this Agreement. No Party or group of Parties shall be under the control of or shall be deemed to control any other Party or Parties. No Party shall be the agent of or have the right or power to bind any other Party without its written consent, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

26.6. Titles.

The captions and headings in this Agreement are inserted solely to facilitate reference and shall have no bearing upon the interpretation of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

26.7. Severability.

If any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement or the application or effect of any such term, covenant, or condition is held invalid as to any person, entity, or circumstance, or is determined to be unjust, unreasonable, unlawful, imprudent, or otherwise not in the public interest by any court or government agency of competent jurisdiction, then such term, covenant, or condition shall remain in force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law, and all other terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement and their application shall not be affected thereby, but shall remain in force and effect and the parties shall be relieved of their obligations only to the extent necessary to eliminate such regulatory or other determination unless a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction holds that such provisions are not separable from all other provisions of this Agreement.

26.8. Preservation of Obligations.

Upon termination of this Agreement, all unsatisfied obligations of each Party shall be preserved until satisfied.

26.9. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof, or the laws of the United States, as applicable, as if executed and to be performed wholly within the State of California.

26.10. Construction of Agreement.

Ambiguities or uncertainties in the wording of this Agreement shall not be construed for or against any Party, but shall be construed in a manner that most accurately reflects the purpose of this Agreement and the nature of the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the matter being construed.

26.11. Amendment.

This Agreement may be modified: (1) by mutual agreement of the Parties, subject to approval by FERC; (2) through the ISO ADR Procedure set forth in Section 13 of the ISO Tariff; or (3) upon issuance of an order by FERC.

26.12. Appendices Incorporated.

The several appendices to this Agreement, as may be revised from time to time, are attached to this Agreement and are incorporated by reference as if herein fully set forth.

26.13. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, which may be executed at different times. Each counterpart, which shall include applicable individual Appendices A, B, C, D and E shall constitute an original but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

26.14 Consistency with Federal Laws and Regulations

26.14.1 No Violation of Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall compel any Party to: (1) violate any federal statute or regulation; or (2) in the case of a federal agency, to exceed its statutory authority, as defined by any applicable federal statute, or regulation or order lawfully promulgated thereunder. No Party shall incur any liability by failing to comply with a provision of this Agreement that is inapplicable to it by reason of being inconsistent with any federal statute, or regulation or order lawfully promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that such Party shall use its best efforts to comply with this Agreement to the extent that applicable federal laws, and regulations and orders lawfully promulgated thereunder, permit it to do so.

If Western issues or revises any federal regulation or order with the intent or effect of limiting, impairing, or excusing any obligation of Western under this Agreement, then unless Western's action was expressly directed by Congress, any Party, by giving thirty days' advance written notice to the other Parties, may require Western to withdraw from this Agreement, notwithstanding any other notice period in Section 3.3.1. If such notice is given, the ISO and Western promptly shall meet to develop arrangements needed to comply with Western's obligation under Section 3.3.3 concerning non-impairment of ISO Operational Control responsibilities.

26.14.2 Federal Entity Indemnity. No provision of this Agreement shall require any Participating TO to give an indemnity to Western or for Western to give an indemnity to any Participating TO. If any provision of this Agreement requiring Western to give an indemnity to the ISO or the ISO to impose a sanction on Western is unenforceable against a federal entity, the affected Party shall submit to the Secretary of Energy or other appropriate Departmental Secretary a report of any circumstances that would, but for this provision, have rendered a federal entity liable to indemnify any person or incur a sanction and may request the Secretary of Energy or other appropriate Departmental Secretary to take such steps as are necessary to give effect to any provisions of this Agreement that are not enforceable against the federal entity.

26.14.3 Recovery for Unenforceable Indemnity. To the extent that a Party suffers any loss as a result of being unable to enforce any indemnity as a result of such enforcement being in violation of Section 26.14.2, it shall be entitled to seek recovery of such loss through its TO Tariff or through the ISO Tariff, as applicable.

on March 31, 1997—any modifications are
attached as follows)

Modification of Appendix A1

Diagrams of Transmission Lines and Associated
Facilities Placed Under the Control of the ISO

(submitted by the ISO on behalf of Pacific Gas and Electric Company
Transmission Owner)

The diagrams of transmission lines and associated facilities placed under the control of the ISO submitted by the ISO on behalf of PG&E on March 31, 1997 are amended as follows.

Item 1: Port of Oakland 115 kV Facilities

Operation Control of the transmission facilities, shown on operating diagram, Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxx (Xxxx Xxx Division), Sheet No. 1, serving the Port of Oakland and Xxxxx 115 kV (USN) is not to be transferred to the ISO. These are special facilities funded by and connected solely to a customer's substation and their operation is not necessary for control by the ISO pursuant to the specifications of Section 4.1.1 of the TCA.

As of the date of execution of the TCA, the California ISO and PG&E are discussing further modifications to the diagrams of transmission lines and facilities placed under the control of the ISO. A new version of the diagrams is to be filed with FERC prior to April 1, 1998. This subsequent version of the diagrams will reflect all modifications (including those described herein).

Supplement To PG&E's Appendix A

Notices Pursuant to Section 4.1.5

Pursuant to the Transmission Control Agreement Section 4.1.5 (iii), the transmission system(1) Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is placing under the California Independent System Operator's Operational Control will meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria in 1998,(2) except (1) for the transmission facilities comprising Path 15, which do not meet the Western Systems Coordinating Council's (WSCC) Reliability Criteria for Transmission Planning with a simultaneous outage of the Los Xxxxx-Xxxxx and Los Banos-Midway 500 kV lines (for south-to-north power flow exceeding 2500 MW on Path 15),(3) and (2) with respect to potential problems identified in PG&E's annual assessment of its reliability performance in accordance with Applicable Reliability Criteria, performed with participation from the ISO and other stakeholders; as a result of this process, PG&E has been developing solutions to mitigate the identified potential problems and submitting them to the ISO for approval.

Pursuant to Section 4.1.5(i), PG&E does not believe that transfer of Operational Control is inconsistent with any of its franchise or right of way agreements to the extent that ISO Operational Control is implemented as part of PG&E utility service pursuant to AB 1890. However, PG&E can't warrant that these right of way or franchise agreements will provide necessary authority for ISO entry or physical use of such rights apart from PG&E's rights pursuant to its physical ownership and operation of transmission facilities.

(1): Including upgrades and operational plans for the transmission lines and associated facilities.
(2): Based upon PG&E(1)s substation and system load forecasts for study year 1998, historically typical generation dispatch and the Applicable Reliability Criteria, including the current applicable WSCC Reliability Criteria for Transmission Planning issued in March 1997, the PG&E Local Reliability as stated in the 1997 PG&E Transmission Planning Handbook Criteria (submitted to the California ISO Transmission Planning, in writing, on October 20, 1997), and the NERC Reliability Performance Criteria in effect at the time PG&E was assessing its system (as of June 1, 1997). PG&E may not meet the WSCC(1)s Disturbance Performance level (0)D(1) (e.g. outage of three or more circuits on a right-of-way, an entire substation or an entire generating plant including switchyard), where the risk of such an outage occurring is considered very small and the costs of upgrades very high.
(3): The ISO will operate Path 15 so as to maintain system reliability. In accepting this notice from PG&E, the ISO agrees to work with PG&E and the WSCC to achieve a resolution respecting the WSCC long-term path rating limit for Path 15, consistent with WSCC requirements. Pending any revision to the WSCC long-term path rating limit for Path 15, the ISO will continue to operate Path 15 at the existing WSCC long-term path rating limit unless, in the judgment of the ISO:

(a) the operating limit must be reduced on a short-term (e.g., seasonal) basis to maintain system reliability, taking into account factors such as the WSCC guidelines, determination of credible outages and the Operating Capability Study Group (OCSG) study process; or

(b) the operating limit must be reduced on a real-time basis to maintain system reliability.

In determining whether the operating limit of Path 15 must be changed to maintain system reliability, the ISO shall, to the extent possible, work with the WSCC and the PTOs to reach consensus as to any new interim operating limit.

EXHIBIT B-1
(TO PG&E APPENDIX B)
Path 15 Operating Instructions
For Existing Encumbrances Across the Path 15 Interface
April 1, 2003, Revision 1

Introduction

As contemplated by the ISO Tariff, and as directed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in its orders on Amendments 3 and 7 to the ISO Tariff, which were filed by the ISO, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has worked with the parties with whom it has existing contracts for transmission service over Path 15 (ETC Parties), in order to develop these Operating Instructions, which, pursuant to sections 2.4.3.1, 2.4.4.4.1, and 2.4.4.4.3 of the ISO Tariff, are to be followed by the ISO in operating this constrained Path. The constraints on Path 15 have been known by all transmission users for many years and have not been alleviated by the creation or operation of the ISO. The Operating Instructions which follow are intended to preserve each ETC Party's pre-existing contract rights¹ to transmission service over Path 15 and PG&E's use of that transmission path. These Operating Instructions will remain in place until PG&E submits replacement instructions to the ISO. PG&E will not submit revised operating instructions to become effective prior to January 1, 2005, except as necessary due to a materially revised ISO market design or to reflect a material change in ETC rights. All parties reserve all rights to argue for the implementation of different Operating Instructions and priorities for Path 15 consistent with their ETC contract rights, in the event PG&E submits any revised Operating Instructions. Further, any party may oppose any modification of these Operating Instructions that materially affects the rights of such party as set forth herein. Any Party that believes these Operating Instructions should be revised may at any time present the suggested revision to PG&E for its consideration.

1/: These operating instructions apply only to unexpired contract rights. Expired contracts will be removed from these instructions at the time of any revision or update. The inclusion of an expired contract in these instructions pending a revision in which the expired contract rights are removed does not confer any extension of such contract.

Purpose and Objectives

These Path 15 Operating Instructions provide direction to the ISO regarding the management of congestion on Path 15 during the ISO's Day Ahead, Hour Ahead and Real Time markets. The objective of these instructions is to assure, on an ongoing basis, the efficient use each day of available Path 15 transfer capability while maintaining the transmission rights and priorities on Path 15 that were in existence as of the ISO Operations Date. These instructions also clarify individual and joint responsibilities between the ISO as the Control Area Operator and PG&E as the Path 15 Existing Transmission Contract (ETC) Facilitator.¹

These instructions are to be adhered to except when the ISO determines that system reliability requires that other steps be taken. The ISO is solely responsible for continued system reliability and must unilaterally take all steps necessary to preserve the system in times of emergency.

1/: Specific operating instructions have been provided to the ISO by PG&E in other documents for each of the Existing Contracts for which it is the Responsible Participating Transmission Owner on Path 15. In the contract specific instructions, information is provided on the maximum MW of transmission service available over the path; the quality of transmission service; daily, hourly and real time scheduling rights and responsibilities; curtailment procedures; points of receipt and points of delivery and effective and termination dates of the contract. This set of additional instructions will clarify how the relative transmission rights and priorities of the parties should be managed and administered during times of congestion and possible curtailment on Path 15.

Path 15 Existing Transmission Contract Facilitator (ETC Facilitator)

PG&E will serve in the capacity of ETC Facilitator to assist the ISO and to provide necessary guidance to the ISO in the administration of Path 15 ETC rights. The ETC Facilitator shall:

1.: Provide to the ISO, for each hour of the Trading Day, the total amount of megawatts that should be reserved for use by the ETC Parties.^2/Such amounts shall be provided generally by 8:30 a.m. of each weekday prior to the start of a Trading Day for the Day-Ahead Market, and generally by 4:30 p.m. of the weekday prior to the start of a Trading Day for the Hour-Ahead Market.³ Any revisions to the amount of megawatts reserved for use by the ETC Parties after these times shall be as provided in ISO operating procedures (currently M-423).

2/: The ETC Facilitator's specification of the megawatt reservation amount does not limit, in any way, ETC Parties' ability to exercise their rights, including making schedule changes in real time.
3/: PG&E and most of the ETC Parties pre-schedule Monday through Friday only. PG&E generally provides its ETC reservation for Sunday and Monday by close-of-business on Friday and to the extent practicable, encourages ETC Parties to provide pre-schedules in time to meet the ISO's Day-Ahead market deadline.

2.: Facilitate all Path 15 schedules from ETC Parties, including those ETC Parties for which the ETC Facilitator is not the Scheduling Coordinator (SC), unless otherwise agreed by PG&E and the ETC Party.¹
3.: Schedule all SC to SC transfers² that utilize ETC rights across Path 15, unless otherwise agreed by PG&E and the ETC Party.
4.: Inform ETC Parties, affected SCs, and the ISO, pursuant to these Operating Instructions, when an ETC Party's scheduled usage of Path 15 is reduced and the amount of such reduction.
5.: In performing these tasks, ensure that all transmission rights and priorities on Path 15 that were in existence as of the ISO Operations Date are maintained and protected.

1/: PG&E may make arrangements with an ETC party to permit that party to self schedule its Path 15 rights. Any such arrangements will preserve the purpose and objectives of these Operating Instructions.
2/: Currently, Southern California Edison Company (Edison) schedules its SC-SC transfers for its Existing Contracts directly with the ISO. Upon mutual agreement by Edison and PG&E, PG&E may become a party to these SC-SC transfers across Path 15.

Day-Ahead Market Congestion Management

Prior to the start of the ISO Day-Ahead process, the ETC Facilitator will provide the ISO with an hourly reservation for ETC schedules utilizing Path 15. The ISO will determine the hourly amount of the Path 15 operating limit available for New Firm Uses³ for use in its Congestion Management Process⁴ by subtracting the ETC megawatt reservation amount from the operating limit for Path 15 for each hour. After the deadline for receiving Day-Ahead Preferred Schedules, the ISO performs its Congestion Management Process and determines the Usage Charges, if any, for each hour of congestion on Path 15. ETC Parties whose schedules over Path 15 are submitted to the ISO by the ETC Facilitator will not be assessed Usage Charges associated with their Path 15 schedules by the ETC Facilitator.

3/: Regulatory Must Take and Regulatory Must Run resources that contribute to the "imputed use" of Path 15 are treated as New Firm Uses for this purpose. The "imputed use" is the expected power flow resulting from the load, interchange, and resource schedules of all SCs.
4/: The ISO's Congestion Management Process uses Adjustment Bids to reduce the amount of New Firm Use, if necessary, so that such use does not exceed the amount of the Path 15 operating limit less the ETC reservation megawatt amount.

Hour-Ahead Market Congestion Management

Because scheduling timelines in ETC Parties' contracts (including third party contracts using ETC Party rights) differ from the ISO's scheduling timeline, some pre-schedules from such parties are likely to be scheduled in the Hour-Ahead Market. The ETC Facilitator's ETC megawatt reservation amount submitted in the Day-Ahead Market is intended to provide sufficient reservation to accommodate the schedules submitted in the Hour-Ahead Market. After the close of the Hour-Ahead Preferred Market, the ISO performs its Congestion Management Process and determines the Usage Charges, if any, for such hour on Path 15. ETC Parties whose schedules over Path 15 are submitted to the ISO by the ETC Facilitator will not be assessed Usage Charges associated with their Path 15 schedules by the ETC Facilitator.

Real Time Curtailment Priorities

Any and all ETC Parties' rights (including third party contracts using ETC Party rights) to change schedules after the close of the ISO's Hour-Ahead market will continue to be honored. In the event of curtailments on Path 15 South-to-North in real time, the ETC Facilitator will determine the appropriate order and magnitude of curtailments given the circumstances that occur in real time and the terms and provisions of the ETCs. This determination will be made consistent with the following table "Path 15 South-to-North Real-Time Curtailment Priorities", a copy of which is Attachment A, which is incorporated into and made a part of these Path 15 Operating Instructions by this reference.

In Attachment A, the relative priorities of the various ETC Parties' transmission service rights across Path 15 in real-time are identified by grouping the various rights into separate blocks and ordering the blocks by their relative priority. Attachment A addresses only Path 15 South to North real-time curtailment priorities. The Path 15 North-to-South real-time curtailment priorities will be addressed in a separate and distinct set of Operating Instructions and will be separately submitted to the ISO after review by the Path 15 ETC Parties.

1/: This table may change from time to time as existing contracts are terminated, or the rights under those contracts change (e.g., termination of a QF contract).
2/: Curtailments within Priority Group 1 are based on each party's contract right or entitlement amount.
3/: CDWR has both EHV and Comprehensive Agreement rights. When curtailments are required, CDWR's EHV schedules are curtailed beginning at the then-current maximum operating limit of the path (as it may increase or decrease from time to time).
4/: The Priority Group 1 capacity available to PG&E south-to-north in real time is the capacity remaining after CDWR's EHV and SCE/SDG&E's CCPIA Existing Contract schedules (as may be curtailed) are subtracted from the amount of available capacity. This remaining capacity is available for CDWR's Comprehensive Agreement schedules and PG&E's must-take encumbrances. PG&E's must-take encumbrances rights correspond to the amount of Path 15 south-to-north transfer capability historically available for PG&E must-take generation in ZP26, including but not limited to the generation of PG&E's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, minus PG&E load in ZP26. As used in this footnote, "PG&E's must-take encumbrances" means an amount of transmission transfer capability that is reserved for ISO New Firm Uses across Path 15 south-to-north that is the lesser of PG&E's must-take encumbrances rights defined above or the IOU imputed use of Path 15. The IOU imputed use of Path 15 is the expected power flow resulting from the load, interchange and resource schedules of PG&E, SCE and SDG&E across Path 15. CDWR's Comprehensive Agreement schedules are curtailed, pro rata with the Priority Group 1 capacity available to PG&E, beginning at the then-current maximum operating limit of the path (as it may increase or decrease from time to time).
5/: TANC's 300 MW is firm bi-directional service using the Points of Receipt and Delivery set forth in section 2.4 of the SOTP and in accordance with the Curtailment Priorities set forth in section 3.2 of the SOTP. PG&E supports these transfer capabilities by implementing mitigation measures when necessary, to the extent such measures are available, up to a total of 200 MW south-to-north and 700 MW north-to-south. These mitigation measures consist of switching PG&E's scheduled transmission service from the AC Lines to the DC Line.
6/: Priority Group 4 is available for ISO use for New Firm Uses.
7/: "New ETC Requests" includes any requested service by an ETC in excess of the rights set forth in this table for Priority Groups 1-4, provided that this footnote shall not apply to arrangements between or among PG&E and one or more ETC Parties for future capacity upgrades, if such parties agree, or an existing contractual commitment provides otherwise.

CALIFORNIA ISO PATH 15 ATC DETERMINATION METHODOLOGY

Note: This document is intended to explain the procedures for calculation and allocation of Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) over Path 15 pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's May 22, 2002 order in Docket ER99-1770-001 (99 FERC ¶ 61,212). It should not be interpreted in any way to modify Exhibit B-1 of the Transmission Control Agreement.

California ISO calculation of Path 15 ATC in the Day Ahead and Hour Ahead Markets (largely described in Exhibit B-1):

1.: The ISO calculates the Operating Transfer Capability (OTC) for Path 15 and calculates the Existing Contract (ETC) rights of the Edison ETC rights holders.
2.: By 8:30 a.m. of each week day prior to the start of the Trading Day PG&E submits to the ISO the ETC capacity to be reserved in the Day Ahead Market, and by 4:30 p.m. of each week day prior to the start of the Trading Day PG&E may submit a revised ETC reservation amount to the ISO for the ETC capacity to be reserved in the Hour Ahead Market. Any revisions to the amount of megawatts reserved for use by the ETC Parties after these times shall be as provided in ISO operating procedures (currently M-423). (The amount reserved by PG&E in the Day-Ahead Market is based on pre-scheduled amounts submitted by the PG&E-facilitated ETC rights holders to PG&E by 8:15 a.m. or on the previous day's schedules and PG&E's view of the capacity that will be used by such ETC rights holders, with an additional amount of margin to ensure that sufficient capacity is available to the PG&E-facilitated ETC rights holders that wish to modify their pre-scheduled use of their capacity in the Hour-Ahead and real time scheduling processes. PG&E can but does not ordinarily provide updates in advance of the Hour Ahead Market.)
3.: The ISO subtracts the capacity reserved for the PG&E-facilitated and Edison ETC rights holders over Path 15 from the Path 15 OTC to determine the ATC available for New Firm Uses (NFU).

Allocation of ATC on Path 15 in real-time, i.e. calculate ETC available rights and curtailments based on applicable priorities (largely described in Exhibit B-1 and Attachment A to Exhibit B-1):

1.: Path 15 OTC: Confirm Path 15 South-to-North OTC and adjust for Unscheduled Flows.
2.: Priority Group 1 ETCs: Retrieve all actual schedules by ETC Parties in Priority Group 1 (as set forth in Attachment A to Exhibit B-1) from all SCs scheduling on behalf of such parties over Path 15.
3.: PG&E Must Take Encumbrance and IOU Imputed Use: Retrieve amounts for PG&E Must-Take Encumbrance (which is available for NFU, but needed to assess certain parties' ETC rights) and the IOU Imputed Use—formerly PX Imputed Use—(as set forth in footnote 4 of Attachment A to Exhibit B-1). Adjust, if necessary, for known changes in generation amounts from amounts forecast in Day Ahead Markets.
4.: Capability Available to Lower Priority ETCs: Subtract from the Path 15 OTC the amounts for Priority Group1 ETCs actual net south-to-north scheduled amounts (2 above) and for each hour the lesser of PG&E's Must Take Encumbrance or the IOU Imputed Use (3 above). This is the amount of transmission capacity available for lower priority ETCs (as set forth in Attachment A to Exhibit B-1).
5.: ATC Available for NFU: All ATC not used by ETC Parties is available for NFU (this includes any amount remaining after subtracting from the Path 15 OTC the Priority Group 1-3 ETCs actual scheduled amounts as they are adjusted for any real-time curtailments). Thus the lesser of the PG&E Must Take Encumbrance or the IOU Imputed Use has priority over Priority 2-3 ETCs, but shares the available OTC with Priority 1 ETCs actually scheduled amounts.

Thus, in real time, NFU access to transmission capacity over Path 15 has two levels of priority:

•: First, as the capacity represented by the lesser of the PG&E Must Take Encumbrance or the IOU Imputed Use amount, which has priority over lower priority ETCs and may use the unscheduled rights of Priority 1 ETC rights holders, and

Second, as any capacity that remains after subtracting from OTC the actual schedules for Priority 1-3 ETCs and the NFU amount above.

However, operationally the ISO does not allocate particular NFU schedules to a particular priority but rather treats all NFU schedules as a single block. The following example illustrates how this occurs:

Assume that OTC over Path 15 is 2,500 MW in a given hour and that there is no Unscheduled Flow. Assume that there are 800 MW of Priority 1 ETC actual schedules, 1,000 MW of PG&E Must Take Encumbrance, 200 MW of lower priority ETC actual schedules, and 1,500 MW of NFU. This NFU amount, as described above, uses the 1,000 MW of PG&E Must Take Encumbrance and the amount of capability remaining after accommodating the lower priority ETC schedules. Assume that Path 15 is derated to 2,000 MW. In this example, no ETC curtailment is indicated, thus the ISO must take actions to reduce the flow. The ISO would use Adjustment Bids and Supplemental Energy bids in the BEEP stack to attempt to accommodate the transactions without curtailing any of the NFU schedules. Assume that after bids in the BEEP stack are exhausted, 1,200 MW of NFU remain on Path 15 and curtailments are required (this occurrence is rare). If feasible within the time available to manage the Path derating, the 1,200 MW of NFU would be curtailed on a pro-rata basis to result in NFU of 1,000 MW. Assume that Path 15 is further derated to 1,000 MW and that all bids in the BEEP stack remain exhausted. If feasible within the time available to manage the Path derating, the 1,000 MW of NFU (the amount that is using the priority rights equal to the amount of the PG&E Must Take Encumbrance) would be curtailed on a pro-rata basis to result in NFU of 200 MW and the lower priority ETC schedules would be curtailed to 0 MW. Note: Priority 1 ETC rights are determined on the basis of the Path 15 OTC, and only curtailed if the Priority 1 ETC rights holder's schedule exceeds its contract right or entitlement amount.

2. INTRODUCTION

These standards were prepared by the ISO through a lengthy consensus building effort involving a diverse group of stakeholders (i.e., the ISO Maintenance Standards task force).

2.1. Objective

The Maintenance of Transmission Facilities has several objectives:

•: Ensuring that the safety and Availability performance levels inherent to the Transmission Facilities are achieved,
•: Restoring the safety and Availability to the levels inherent to the Transmission Facilities when degradation has occurred,
•: Gathering information that can be of use as the basis for identifying improvements to those Transmission Facilities whose Availability performance is inadequate,
•: Gathering information that can be used as the basis for optimizing and forecasting Maintenance for Transmission Facilities,
•: Extending the useful life of the Transmission Facilities while maintaining their inherent levels of Availability, and
•: Achieving the aforementioned objectives at a minimum total cost for Maintenance and Outages.

The ISO Maintenance Standards address the following topics:

•: Transmission Facilities Covered by the ISO Maintenance Standards;
•: Availability Measures ;
•: Availability Measure Targets;
•: ISO Maintenance Guidelines for PTO Maintenance practices;
•: Qualifications of Maintenance Personnel;

•: Maintenance Record Keeping and Reporting;
•: Establishment of a Maintenance Coordination Committee;
•: Process for the Revision of the ISO Maintenance Standards;
•: Incentives and Penalties for PTO Availability Performance;
•: Compliance with Laws and Regulations; and
•: Dispute Resolution.

For certain aspects of Maintenance, these Standards delineate specific requirements and responsibilities (e.g., requirements for PTO inspection and Maintenance records), for others they provide guidelines (e.g., contents of PTO Maintenance Practices documents), and for others they describe processes (e.g., review process for PTO Maintenance Practices documents) to be enacted to achieve the desired results.

Flexibility in establishing ISO Maintenance Standards is implicit in the goal of optimizing Maintenance across a system characterized by diverse environmental and climatic conditions, terrain, equipment, and design practices. To provide for flexibility while ensuring the reasonableness of each PTO's approach to Maintenance, the ISO Maintenance Standards are founded on two basic precepts: 1) the effectiveness of each PTO's Maintenance will be gauged through an Availability performance monitoring system, and 2) the adequacy of each PTO's Maintenance Practices will be assessed through ISO review. Each PTO's Maintenance Practices will serve as the ISO's Maintenance Standards for the Transmission Facilities covered therein. The PTO Maintenance Practices ensure a reasonable level of Maintenance during the short term while Availability is used to monitor long term performance.

It is the belief of the ISO Maintenance Standards task force that it is impractical for the ISO to develop and/or impose on the PTO's a single uniform set of detailed descriptions of practices delineating condition or time-based schedules for various Maintenance activities that account for the myriad equipment, operating conditions, and environmental conditions within the ISO grid. For this reason, the ISO Maintenance Standards provide ISO Maintenance Guidelines to be followed by each PTO in preparing PTO Maintenance Practices for its Transmission Facilities.

2.2. Availability

ISO grid reliability is a function of the Availability of Transmission Facilities owned and operated by its PTO's. The key to the effectiveness of the ISO Maintenance Standards is the establishment of a consistent measure of Transmission Facility Availability (Availability Measures) and the initial setting of the Availability Measure Targets as well as periodic revisions of those targets. By measuring Availability the ISO is able to monitor the effectiveness of Maintenance. While the ISO is concerned with grid reliability, reliability is a function of a complex set of variables including the accessibility of alternative load paths, speed and sophistication of protective equipment, and the Availability of Transmission Line Circuits, and therefore is indirectly related to Maintenance. Thus, Availability will be the principal determinant of each PTO's performance under the ISO Maintenance Standards.

When using Availability as a gauge of Maintenance adequacy, several things must be kept in mind to avoid misinterpreting performance. The most important consideration is that across the ISO grid, the vast majority of all Forced Outages^(IMS) are due to random/chance events that cannot be controlled by Maintenance. It is important to recognize that only a small percentage of all Forced Outages^(IMS) can be controlled through Maintenance (i.e. activities that do not change the basic configuration of Transmission Facilities). This principle assumes the PTO is performing a reasonable level of Maintenance consistent with Good Utility Practice. If an unreasonably low level of Maintenance is performed for a sufficient period of time, Availability will decline. However, if a level of Maintenance is being performed, consistent with Good Utility Practice, increasing Maintenance activities by a

significant order will not result in a corresponding increase in Availability. Thus, while Maintenance is important to ensuring Availability, drastic increases in Maintenance will not lead to substantial improvements in Transmission Facility Availability and associated grid reliability.

A variety of techniques can be used to monitor performance, however techniques that do not account for random variations in processes have severe limitations in that they may yield inconsistent and/or erroneous assessments of performance. To account for random/chance variations while enabling monitoring for shifts and trends in performance, control charts have been widely accepted as an effective means for monitoring performance. Control charts are statistically-based graphs which illustrate both an expected range of performance for a particular process based on historical data, and discrete measures of recent performance. The relative positions of these discrete measures of recent performance and their relationship to the expected range of performance are used to gauge the adequacy of performance. Availability is affected by several factors only one of which is Maintenance. In fact, for most Transmission Line Circuits only a small fraction of Forced Outages^(IMS) can be attributed to phenomenon that could be controlled or avoided through Maintenance. Many more Forced Outages^(IMS) are attributable to random/chance events than Maintenance-related items. Therefore, while monitoring Availability as a gauge of Maintenance adequacy is useful for evaluating long term trends, care must be taken to avoid reading too much into the correlation of Availability to Maintenance since so many additional variables also impact Availability.

The fundamental performance measures selected as the basis for developing an Availability performance monitoring system are the annual accumulated duration and frequency of certain types of Outages for each Transmission Line Circuit under the ISO's Operational Control. To enhance the Availability performance monitoring system's use as a gauge of Maintenance adequacy, it was necessary to exclude certain Outage^(IMS) types from the determination of the performance measures. Those excluded Outages are:

•: Scheduled Outages;
•: Outages caused by events originating outside the PTO's system; and
•: Outages demonstrated to have been caused by earthquakes.

Additionally, the Forced Outage^(IMS) duration has been capped at 72 hours so that excessively long Forced Outages^(IMS) do not skew the data as to detract from the meaningfulness and interpretation of the control charts for accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration. This is not to say that an excessively long Forced Outage^(IMS) is not a concern. Rather, such Forced Outages^(IMS) should be investigated to assess the reasons for their extended duration.

The performance monitoring system requires use of separate control charts for each Voltage Class and PTO. Existing Forced Outage^(IMS) data contains significant differences in the Availability performance between Voltage Classes and between PTOs. These differences may be attributable to factors such as the uniqueness of operating environments, Transmission Facility designs, and PTO operating policies. However, regardless of the cause of the differences, review of the Forced Outage^(IMS) data makes it eminently apparent that the performance differences are such that no single set of control chart parameters for a particular Voltage Class could be applied to all PTOs.

Three types of control charts will be constructed to provide a complete representation of historical Availability performance, and to provide a benchmark against which future performance can be gauged. The three types of control charts for each PTO and Voltage Class are:

•: The annual average Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency for all Transmission Line Circuits;
•: The annual average accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration for those Transmission Line Circuits which experience Forced Outages^(IMS); and

•: The annual proportion of Transmission Line Circuits that experienced no Forced Outages^(IMS).

These three control charts will assist the ISO and PTO's in assessing the performance of Voltage Classes over time. To accommodate this process on a cumulative basis data are made available to the ISO by each PTO at the beginning of a new year to assess the performance of the past years.

2.3. ISO Maintenance Guidelines

Two specific requirements regarding Maintenance documentation have been incorporated into the ISO Maintenance Standards. First, these standards require that each PTO develop and submit a description of its Maintenance practices (PTO Maintenance Practices) to the ISO. Second, these standards require that each PTO maintain Maintenance records and make those records available to the ISO in order to demonstrate compliance with each element of its PTO Maintenance Practices.

To outline the fundamental requirements for, and to promote consistency in the PTO Maintenance Practices, these standards provide guidelines for the preparation and maintenance of the PTO Maintenance Practices. These ISO Maintenance Guidelines provide for flexibility in approach to Maintenance, but also require the description of certain specific Maintenance practices. The guidelines require that the PTO's provide descriptions of the various Maintenance activities, schedules and condition triggers for performing the Maintenance, and samples of any checklists, forms, or reports used for Maintenance activities.

2.4. Data Standards

To facilitate processing of Outage^(IMS) data for the Availability performance monitoring system, and to enable consistent and equitable interpretation of PTO Maintenance records by the ISO, these standards address the need for data recording and reporting. The ISO and PTO's have committed to developing standardized formats for transmitting Outage^(IMS) data to the ISO for the Availability performance monitoring system. These standard formats are to be finalized within the first 60 days of 1998. Additionally, the ISO and PTO's have agreed to develop and implement a standard Maintenance reporting system by the end of the third year of operation of the ISO. This system will provide for consistent gathering of information that can be used as the basis for optimizing and forecasting maintenance of Transmission Facilities. The development of such a Maintenance reporting system is consistent with fostering the spirit of cooperation among the ISO and the PTO's as it may eventually aid in the resolution of performance problems, and provide the basis for research on an ISO grid-wide basis to identify opportunities to enhance Transmission Facility Maintenance.

2.5. Applicability of Incentives and Penalties

Cooperation and collaboration among the PTOs responsible for ensuring the Availability of the Transmission Facilities comprising the ISO grid are needed to ensure the most reliable grid possible. Therefore, the ISO Maintenance Standards task force believes that a formal program of incentives and penalties tied purely to PTO Maintenance may hinder needed cooperation among PTOs. As a result, the ISO Maintenance Standards task force recommends that no such program be instituted initially by the ISO.

Further, the task force recognizes the need for the ISO to enforce reasonable Maintenance to ensure Availability in the case that: 1) a PTO exhibits degradation in Availability performance due to Maintenance, 2) a PTO does not comply with its PTO Maintenance Practices, or 3) a PTO is grossly or willfully negligent with regards to Maintenance. Therefore, it is the position of the ISO Maintenance Standards task force that it is reasonable for the ISO to establish penalties for such conditions. In the absence of a formal program of incentives and penalties, the task force acknowledges the ISO's right to pursue sanctions for cause on a case by case basis.

Availability is a useful and tractable means for monitoring performance, however, the electric utility industry as a whole has little experience in using Availability to gauge the adequacy of Maintenance. Further, because the industry in general has not carefully managed historical Outage^(IMS) data to the degree that is necessary to make them useful for performance monitoring, there are varying limitations with regards to the accessibility and reliability of Outage^(IMS) data among PTOs. Also, the impact on Availability when a new entity, namely the ISO, assumes Operational Control of the grid is unknown. Thus, it is the position of the ISO Maintenance Standards task force that the Availability performance monitoring system will be implemented and used to gauge Availability performance beginning on the ISO Operations Date. However, the system needs to be used and updated during a five year phase in period to be considered for use in a program of incentives and penalties for Availability performance.

Availability is a function of several variables including Transmission Facility Maintenance, capital improvements, and improvements in restoration practices. If a PTO is exercising a reasonable level of Maintenance, yet the Availability performance of a Voltage Class or individual Transmission Line Circuit is inadequate for the purposes of the ISO grid, then capital improvements or improvements in restoration practices may lead to greater Availability improvements than increased Maintenance. Therefore, assessing incentives and penalties on the basis of Availability as influenced by all of these variables may be a reasonable approach for influencing PTO's to improve the Availability of their Transmission Facilities where such improvements can be justified.

3. TRANSMISSION FACILITIES COVERED BY THE ISO MAINTENANCE STANDARDS

All Transmission Facilities transferred to the ISO, pursuant to the Transmission Control Agreement, shall be maintained in accordance with the ISO Maintenance Standards.

4. AVAILABILITY STANDARD

4.1. Introduction

The ISO shall monitor and measure each PTO's Availability for the Transmission Line Circuits under ISO Operational Control. The ISO shall use an Availability measurement system which consists of two primary components: 1) measures of the annual performance of each Voltage Class based on the performance of each of the Transmission Line Circuits comprising the Voltage Class, i.e. the Availability Measures; and 2) a set of threshold performance criteria for each Voltage Class, i.e. Availability Measure Targets. The Availability Measure Targets will be used to gauge the adequacy of the PTO's annual performance for each Voltage Class. Each PTO shall make an annual report to the ISO within 90 days from the end of each calendar year that describes its compliance with the Availability Measure Targets. In its report to the ISO, supporting data based on Outage^(IMS) records shall be included, justifying the Availability Measures reported for each Voltage Class.

4.2. Availability Measures

4.2.1. Calculation of Availability Measures for Individual Transmission Line Circuits

The calculation of the Availability Measures will be performed utilizing Outage^(IMS) data through December 31 of each year. Separate Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency and accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration Availability Measures shall be calculated as follows for each Transmission Line Circuit under ISO Operational Control within each Voltage Class. The calculations shall be performed annually for each of the Transmission Line Circuits utilizing all appropriate Outage data for the calendar year in question.

Forced Outage^(IMS) Frequency:

The Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency (f_ik) of the i^th Transmission Line Circuit shall equal the total number of Forced Outages^(IMS) that occurred on the i^th Transmission Line Circuit during the calendar year k. See Notes 1 and 2.

NOTES:

1.: Multiple momentary Forced Outages^(IMS) on the same Transmission Line Circuit in the span of a single minute shall be treated as a single Forced Outage^(IMS) with a duration of one minute. When the operation of a Transmission Line Circuit is restored following a Forced Outage^(IMS) and the Transmission Line Circuit remains operational for a period exceeding one minute, i.e. 61 seconds or more, followed by another Forced Outage^(IMS), then these should be counted as two Forced Outages^(IMS). Multiple Forced Outages^(IMS) occurring as a result of a single event should be handled as multiple Forced Outages^(IMS) only if subsequent operation of the Transmission Line Circuit between events exceeds one minute. Otherwise they shall be considered one continuous Forced Outage^(IMS).
2.: If a Transmission Line Circuit, e.g. a new Transmission Line Circuit, is only in service for a portion of a year, the Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency and accumulated duration data shall be treated as if the Transmission Line Circuit had been in service for the entire year, i.e. the Outage^(IMS) data for that Transmission Line Circuit shall be handled the same as those for any other Transmission Line Circuit.

Accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration:

The accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration in minutes shall be calculated as follows for each of the Transmission Line Circuits having a Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency (f_ik) greater than zero for the calendar year k:

		f_ik
d_ik	=	S o_ijk
		j = 1

where

d_ik: = accumulated duration of Forced Outages^(IMS) (total number of Forced Outage^(IMS) minutes) for the i^th Transmission Line Circuit having a Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency (f_ik) greater than zero for the calendar year x.
x_xx: = Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency as defined above for calendar year k.
o_ijk: = duration in minutes of the j^th Forced Outage^(IMS) which occurred during the k^th calendar year for the i^th Transmission Line Circuit. See Notes 1 and 2.

The durations of extended Forced Outages^(IMS) shall be capped as described in Section 4.2.2. "Capping of Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration" for the purposes of calculating the Availability Measures . In addition, certain types of events/Outages shall be excluded from the calculations of the Availability Measures as described in Section 4.2.3 "Excluded Events".

If a PTO makes changes to its Transmission Line Circuit identification, configuration, or Outage^(IMS) data reporting schemes, the PTO shall notify the ISO at the time of the change. In its annual report to the ISO the PTO shall provide recommendations regarding how the Availability Measures and Availability Measure Targets should be modified to ensure they remain consistent with the modified Transmission Line Circuit identification or Outage^(IMS) data reporting scheme, and that they provide an appropriate gauge of performance.

4.2.2. Capping of Forced Outage^(IMS) Durations

The durations of individual Forced Outages^(IMS) which exceed 72 hours (4320 minutes) shall each be capped at 4320 minutes for the purpose of calculating the accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration.

4.2.3. Excluded Events

The following types of events/Outages shall be excluded from the calculation of the Availability Measures and the Availability Measure Targets:

•: Scheduled Outages which are scheduled, reviewed and approved by the ISO in accordance with the Transmission Control Agreement, and
•: Forced Outages^(IMS) which: 1) were caused by events outside the PTO's system including those Outages which originate in other TO systems, other electric utility systems, or customer equipment, and 2) those Forced Outages^(IMS) which can be demonstrated to have been caused by earthquakes.

4.3. Targets for Availability Performance

The Availability Measure Targets described herein shall be phased in over a period of five years beginning on the ISO Operations Date. The adequacy of each PTO's Availability performance shall be monitored through the use of charts on which are plotted indices reflecting annual Availability performance. These charts, called control charts as shown in Figure 4.3.1, are defined by a horizontal axis with a scale of years and a vertical axis with a scale describing the expected range of magnitudes of the index in question. Annual performance indices shall be plotted on these charts and a series of tests may then be performed to assess the stability of annual performance, shifts in performance and longer term performance trends.

Control charts for each of the following indices shall be developed and utilized to monitor Availability performance for each Voltage Class within each PTO's system:

Figure 4.3.1 Sample Control Chart

•: Index 1: Annual Average Forced Outage^(IMS) Frequency for All Transmission Line Circuits.
•: Index 2: Annual Average Accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration for those Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS).
•: Index 3: Annual Proportion of Transmission Line Circuits with No Forced Outages^(IMS).

The control charts incorporate a center line (CL), upper and lower control limits (UCL and LCL, respectively), and upper and lower warning limits (UWL and LWL, respectively). The CL represents the average annual historical performance for a period prior to the current year. The UCL and LCL define a range of expected performance extending above and below the CL. For the annual proportion of Transmission Line Circuits with no Forced Outages^(IMS), the limits are based on standard control chart techniques for binomial proportion data. For the other two indices, bootstrap resampling techniques are used to determine empirical UCL and LCL at 99.75% and 0.25% percentile values, respectively, for means from the historical data. The bootstrap procedure is described in Section 4.3.2. Similarly, the UWL and LWL define a range of performance intending to cover the percentiles from 2.5% to 97.5%. The bootstrap algorithm is also used to determine these values. Thus, the UCL and LCL will contain about 99.5% of resampling means from the Voltage Class of interest. UWL and LWL will contain about 95% of the resampling means. These limits coincide with the usual choices for control charts when the means are approximately normal. Bootstrap estimation procedures are used here since the sampling means do not follow the Normal distribution model. The bootstrap estimation procedures ensure consistent control chart limits by using a starting base number("seed") for it's random number generator. Accuracy or reduced variances in the control chart limits are attained by using the average control chart limits generated from applying ten repetitions or cycles of the bootstrap sampling method. Collectively, the CL, UCL, LCL, UWL and LWL provide reference values for use in evaluating performance as described in Section 4.3.3.

For the special case where there is a Voltage Class with only one Transmission Line Circuit, individual and moving range control charts should be used for Index 1 and 2. The method used herein for calculating Index 3 is not applicable for those Voltage Classes containing less than six Transmission Line Circuits. Maintenance procedures recommended by the MCC and approved by the ISO Governing Board will be used by the PTOs to calculate Index 1, 2, or 3 where the methods provided herein do not apply.More information on the individual and moving range control charts can be found in the user manuals of the statistical software recommended by the MCC and approved by the ISO Governing Board for use in creating the control charts .

4.3.1. Calculations of Annual Availability Performance Indices for Individual Voltage Classes

Separate annual Availability performance indices shall be calculated for each Voltage Class and PTO as described below utilizing the Availability Measures discussed in Section 4.2.

Annual Average Forced Outage^(IMS) Frequency for All Transmission Line Circuits (Index 1):

F_vc,k

N_k

X_x
X x_xx
i = 1

where

F_vc,k =	frequency index for the Voltage Class, vc, (units = Forced Outages^(IMS) /Transmission Line Circuit). The frequency index equals the average (mean) number of Forced Outages^(IMS) for all Transmission Line Circuits within a Voltage Class for the calendar year k.
N_k =	number of Transmission Line Circuits in Voltage Class in calendar year k. See Note 2, Section 4.2.1.
f_ik =	frequency of Forced Outages^(IMS) for the i^th Transmission Line Circuit as calculated in accordance with Section 4.2.1 for calendar year k.

Annual Average Accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration for those Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS) (Index 2):

D_vc,k

N_o,k

N_o,k
S d_ik
i = 1

where

4.3.2. Development of Limits for Performance Control Charts

The CL, UCL, LCL, UWL and LWL for the three control charts (Annual Average Forced Outage^(IMS) Frequency for All Transmission Line Circuits, Annual Average Accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration for Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS), and Annual Proportion of Transmission Line Circuits with No Forced Outages^(IMS)) on which the annual Availability performance indices are to be plotted shall be calculated as described below. The CL, UCL, LCL, UWL and LWL for each of the three control charts shall be determined using continuously recorded Outage^(IMS) data for the ten year period immediately preceding the ISO Operations Date, or immediately preceding the date a TO becomes a PTO. In the event that a PTO does not have reliable, continuously recorded Outage^(IMS) data for this 10 year period, the PTO may determine the control chart limits using data for a shorter period. However, if data for a shorter period are to be used, the PTO shall prepare a brief report to the ISO providing reasonable justification for this modification. This report shall be submitted to the ISO prior to February 1, 1998, or within 30 days after a TO becomes a PTO. The ISO shall periodically review the control chart limits and appropriately modify them when necessary in accordance with Section 8.0, "Revision of ISO Maintenance Standards," of this document.

4.3.2.1. CLs

The calculation of the CLs for each of the three control charts is similar to the calculation of the annual Availability performance indices described in Section 4.3.1 except that the period for which data are to be included in the calculations is expanded from a single calendar year to the ten years, unless a shorter period is justified by the PTO, for the period immediately preceding the ISO Operations Date, or immediately preceding the date a TO becomes a PTO. To account for this change a count of Transmission Line Circuit years is included in the equations as shown below to enable derivation of CLs which represent average performance during a multi-year period.

CL for Annual Transmission Line Circuit Forced Outage^(IMS) Frequency

		Y N_k		Y
CL_fvc	=	S S f_ik	/ (	S N_k)
		k-1 i-1		k=1

where

CL_fvc =	center control line value for the Forced Outage^(IMS) frequencies for each of the Transmission Line Circuits in the Voltage Class for Y years prior to the ISO Operations Date, or the date a TO becomes a PTO.
Y =	number of years prior to the ISO Operations Date (or the date a TO becomes a PTO) for which the PTO has reliable, continuously recorded Outage^(IMS) data. Y=10 is preferred.

CL for Annual Accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) Duration for those Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS)

		Y N_o,k		Y
CL_dvc	=	S S d_ik	/ (	S N_o,k)
		k-1 i-1		k=1

where

CL_dvc =

center control line value for accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) duration for each of the Transmission Line Circuits in the Voltage Class for Y years prior to the ISO Operations Date (or the date a TO becomes a PTO) in which the Forced Outage^(IMS) frequency (f_ik) was greater than zero.

CL for Annual Proportion of Transmission Line Circuits with No Forced Outages^(IMS)

		Y
CL_Pvc	=	S (N_k - N_o,k) k=1
		Y S N_k k=1

where

CL_Pvc =

center control line value for the proportion of Transmission Line Circuits in the Voltage Class with no Forced Outages^(IMS) for Y years prior to the ISO Operations Date, or the date a TO becomes a PTO.

4.3.2.2. UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs

UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 1 and 2 for Voltage Classes Containing Four or More Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS) for Five or More Years

The UCLs, UWLs, LWLs, and LCLs for the control charts for each Voltage Class containing four or more Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS) shall be determined by bootstrap resampling methods as follows: The available historical data for Index 1 and 2 will each be entered into columns. A "seed" is then selected prior to beginning the sampling process. The ISO assigns a number for the "seed" prior to each years development of the control charts. The "seed" allows the user to start the sampling in the same place and get the same results provided the data order hasn't changed. For Index 1, sampling with replacement will occur for the median number of lines per year in a Voltage Class for the time period being evaluated. A sample, the size of which is the median number of all Transmission Line Circuits for the period being evaluated, is taken from the column of actual frequency values for all Transmission Line Circuits. A mean is calculated from this sample and the resulting number will be stored in a separate column. This process, will be repeated 10,000 times in order to create a column of sampling means from the historical data base. The column of sampling means is then ordered from the smallest to largest means. From this column percentiles are determined for a UCL(99.75), a LCL(0.25) a UWL(97.5), and a LWL(2.5). Thus, for one cycle, the limits are determined by resampling from the historical data base, calculating statistics of interest, in this case means, and then estimating appropriate limits from the resampling means. Ten cycles of this same process are necessary to get 10 values each of UCLs, LCLs, UWLs, and LWLs. The average for the ten values of each limit is taken to provide the UCL, LCL, UWL, and LWL values used in analyzing annual performance. The procedure is repeated for Index 2 forming means for the median number of lines with Forced Outages^(IMS) in this Voltage Class for the time period being evaluated. See Bootstrapping—A Nonparametric Approach to Statistical Inference (1993) by Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Sage Publications with ISBN 0-8039-5381-X, and An Introduction to the Bootstrap (1993) by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Publishing with ISBN 0-412-04231-2 for further information.

Consider an example to illustrate how the Bootstrap procedure works for one cycle of the ten required. Assume that a Voltage Class has approximately 20 Transmission Line Circuits per year with a history of ten years. Furthermore, assume that about 15 Transmission Line Circuits per year experience Forced Outages. Therefore, there are 10 × 15 = 150 Forced Outage^(IMS) durations available for bootstrap sampling. Place these 150 Forced Outage^(IMS) durations in a column, say "outdur"... in a specified order . The order is automatically provided in the bootstrap algorithm developed by the ISO and made available to the PTO. The bootstrap algorithm will sample 15 rows from "outdur" with replacement. That is, any row may, by chance, be sampled more than once. From these 15 values determine the sample mean and place this in another column, say"boot". Repeat this sampling process 10,000 times adding the new means to "boot". The column "boot" now has 10,000 means from samples of size 15 from the original Forced Outage^(IMS) duration data for this Voltage Class. The next step is to locate the appropriate percentiles from these means for use in determining the control chart limits for one cycle. This is accomplished by ordering the column "boot" from smallest to largest mean and restoring these ordered means in "boot". The percentiles which are needed are 99.75% (UCL), 97.50% (UWL), 2.50% (LWL) and 0.25% (LCL). These are easily estimated from the sorted means by finding the associated rows in the column "boot". For example, LWL will be estimated as the average of the 250th and 251st rows in column "boot". Likewise the other limits will be determined. Of course, the CL is the actual mean average for 15 lines over the ten years using the formulas in Section 4.3.2.1. This example is for one cycle. Nine more cycles of this process will establish the more accurate control and warning limits necessary to evaluate a PTO's annual performance.

UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 1 and 2 for All Other Voltage Classes

When data for less than four Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS) are available per year in a Voltage Class for fewer than five years, an exhaustive enumeration of all possible selections with replacement may need to be performed. This is because the number of possible samples for bootstrap resampling will be less than the aforementioned 10,000 resampling frequency used for Voltage Classes containing four or more Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages^(IMS) for five or more years. For example, if a Voltage Class has only two Transmission Line Circuits per year for five years, the data base will consist of 2*5 = 10 accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) durations assuming both Transmission Line Circuits experience a Forced Outage^(IMS) or more per year. Resampling two values from the column of 10 yields only 10**2 = 100 possible means. Thus, bootstrap resampling of 10,000 would over-sample the original data 10,000/100 = 100 times.

For the general case, let M = the number of accumulated Forced Outage^(IMS) durations (or Forced Outage^(IMS) frequencies) from the historical data base. If n is the median number of Transmission Line Circuits per year, there are M**n = U possible enumerated means for this Voltage Class. The procedure to determine the appropriate limits for a Voltage Class is to order the column containing U enumerated means from smallest to largest means. Then, the UCL, LCL, UWL, and LWL are determined from this vector as described above (i.e. at the 99.75, 0.25, 97. 5 and 2. 5 percentiles, respectively).

UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 3 When Number of Lines is > 125

According to standard procedures for proportion control charts for voltage classes where the median number of lines in service is greater than 125 for any given year, the upper and lower control chart limits (UCL, LCL, UWL, and LWL) for the k^th year are determined using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. The formulas are:

UCL = CL_Pvc + 3S_Pvc,k LCL = CL_Pvc - 3S_Pvc,k

UWL and LWL are calculated by replacing the "3" above with a "2".

and

where

S_Pvc,k: = standard deviation for the annual proportion of Transmission Line Circuits in the Voltage Class with no Forced Outages^(IMS) for each (k^th) year of the Y years prior to the ISO Operations Date, or the date a TO becomes a PTO. If LCL or LWL is less than zero, they should be set to zero by default.

UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 3 when Number of Lines is less than or equal to 125 and greater than or equal to six.

The UCLs, LCLs, UWLs, and LWLs for the control charts for each voltage class shall be based on exact binomial probabilities for those voltage classes having equal to or more than six but less than or equal to 125 median transmission lines per year.

A customized macro and a statistical software package approved by the ISO creates the proportion control charts. The macro determines the control limits and use of the exact binomial or the normal approximation to the binomial for computing the control chart limits. This macro ensures the UCL and LCL contains about 99.5% and the UWL and LWL contains about 95% of the binomial distribution. The percentile values of the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL are respectively 99.75%, 97.5%, 2.5%, and 0.25%.

The UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL are calculated using the following formulas:

UCL = (X₁+ (P₂ - P₁)/(P₃ - P₁))/ n

UWL = (X₁+ (P₂ - P₁)/(P₃ - P₁))/ n

LWL = (X₁+ (P₂ - P₁)/(P₃ - P₁))/ n

LCL = (X₁+ (P₂ - P₁)/(P₃ - P₁))/ n

Where

P₂: = A cumulative binomial probability equal to the 0.9975, 0.9750, 0.025, and 0.0025 values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL above formulas (i.e. P₂ = 0.9975 in the UCL formula and = 0.025 in the LWL formula)
P₁: = A cumulative binomial probability that if not representing the percentile value is representing the percentile value that is less than and closest to the 99.75, 97.50, 2.5, and 0.25 percentile values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas(e.g. if P₁ = 0.74 and is closest to the 99.75 percentile value and represents the 99 percentile then P₁ = 0.74 should be used in the UCL formula).
P₃: = A cumulative binomial probability that if not representing the percentile value is representing the percentile value that is greater than and closest to the 99.75, 97.50, 2.5, and 0.25 percentile values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas(e.g. if P₃ = 0.82 and is closest to the 99.75 percentile value and represents the 99.85 percentile then P₃ = 0.82 should be used in the UCL formula).
X₁: = The number of lines with no outages associated with the P₁ cumulative binomial probability values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas.(e.g. If P₁ = 0.74 and represents the 99^th percentile for the case where 78 lines didn't have any outages then X₁ = 78 should be used in the UCL formula).
n: = The median number of lines that are in service in a given year. This number remains the same in each of the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas

More information on the calculations of the proportion control chart limits is in the current ISO Transmission Facility Availability Performance Monitoring System Handbook.

4.3.3. Evaluation of Availability Performance

The control charts shall be reviewed annually in order to evaluate Availability performance. The annual performance evaluation shall consist of an examination of each of the control charts to determine if one or more of the following four tests indicate a change in performance. The four tests have been selected to enable identification of exceptional performance in an individual year, shifts in longer term performance, and trends in longer term performance.

Tests

•: Test 1: The index value for the current year falls outside the UCL or LCL.
•: Test 2: At least v1 consecutive annual index values fall above the CL or v2 consecutive annual index values fall below the CL. The actual values of v1 and v2 will be output from the bootstrap resampling procedures. The choices for v1 and v2 are designed to keep the probability of these events less than one percent.

Table 1. Values of v1 and v2 for Percentiles of the CL in Specified Ranges

Percentile	v1	v2
35 - 39	10	5
40	10	6
41 - 43	9	6
44 - 46	8	6
47 - 48	8	7
49 - 51	7	7
52 - 53	7	8
54 - 56	6	8
57 - 59	6	9
60	6	10
61 - 65	5	10

Thus, for example, if for a particular Voltage Class the percentile of the historical CL is 55%, this says that the CL is located at the 55 percentile of all bootstrap means in the "boot" column. From Table 1, v1=6, and v2=8.

•: Test 3: At least two out of three consecutive annual index values fall outside the UWL or LWL on the same side of the CL.
•: Test 4: Six or more values are consecutively increasing or consecutively decreasing.

Therefore, Test 1 is designed to detect a short term change or jump in the average level. Tests 2 and 4 are looking for long term changes. Test 2 will detect a shift up in averages or a shift to a lower level. Test 4 is designed to detect either a trend of continuous increase in the average values or continuous decrease. Test 3 is designed to assess changes in performance during an intermediate period of three years. If Test 3 is satisfied, the evidence is of a decline (or increase) in Availability over a three year period. Together the four tests allow the ISO to monitor the availability performance of a Voltage Class for a PTO.

If none of these tests indicates that a change has occurred, performance shall be considered to be stable and consistent with past performance. If one or more of these tests indicates a change then Availability performance shall be considered as having improved or degraded relative to the performance defined by the control chart. Table 4.3.1 provides a summary of the performance indications provided by the tests. The control chart limits may be updated annually if the last year's Availability performance indices did not trigger any of the four tests. If none of the four tests are triggered, the new limits will be constructed including the last year's data.

The control chart limits may be modified each year to reflect the number of Transmission Line Circuits in service during that year if necessary. However, it is suggested that unless the number of lines changes by more than 30% from the previous year, the use of the median number of lines should continue. Consider an example. Suppose after the control chart has been prepared for a Voltage Class, next year's data arrive with the number of lines 30% higher than the median used in the past. New limits will be generated in order to assess the Availability performance for that year.

For the special case where only one Transmission Line Circuit has a Forced Outage^(IMS) in a Voltage Class during a year, the assessment process for Index 2 is as follows. If Index 2 for this Transmission Line Circuit does not trigger any of the four tests, no further action is necessary. If, however, one or more of the tests are triggered, then limits for this Transmission Line Circuit for that year should be recalculated based on the historical data for this Transmission Line Circuit alone using an individual and moving range control chart. The only test warranted here is Test 1. More information

on the individual and moving range control charts can be found in the user manuals of the statistical software approved by the ISO for use in creating the control charts

If the ISO deems that the Availability Measure Targets should be modified, they shall be modified in accordance with Section 8.0, "Revision of ISO Maintenance Standards," of this document.

The ISO shall review the information provided pursuant to Section 5.3.1.1 of this Appendix C and may provide to a PTO a recommendation for an amendment to the PTO Maintenance Practices in question by means of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement. The disposition of any such recommendation shall be in accordance with Section 5.3.3 of this Appendix C. To the extent there are no recommendations, the PTO Maintenance Practices will be adopted by the ISO, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 348, as the PTO Maintenance Practices for that PTO.

Any agreement, in respect of PTO Maintenance Practices, reached between the ISO and a prospective PTO prior to the ISO Operations Date shall be adopted by the ISO for purposes of this Section 5.3.1.

5.3.2. Proposals for Amendments to the PTO Maintenance Practices

5.3.2.1. Amendments Proposed by the ISO

The ISO shall periodically review each PTO's Maintenance Practices having regard to the ISO Maintenance Standards, as amended and revised from time to time pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 of this Appendix C. Following such a review, and after considering the Section 348 Criteria, the ISO may recommend an amendment of PTO Maintenance Practices, by means of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement. The disposition of any such recommendation shall be in accordance with 5.3.3 of this Appendix C. Except as provided in Section 5.3.3.4 of this Appendix, the effective date shall be no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice.

5.3.2.2. Amendments Proposed by a PTO

A PTO may provide to the ISO its own recommendation for an amendment to its PTO Maintenance Practices, by means of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement. The disposition of any such recommendation shall be in accordance with Section 5.3.3 of this Appendix C. The effective date shall be no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice.

5.3.3. Disposition of Recommendations

5.3.3.1. If the ISO or a PTO makes a recommendation to amend the PTO Maintenance Practices of a PTO, as contemplated in Sections 5.3.1 or 5.3.2 of this Appendix C, the other Party shall have 30 days to provide a notice to the recommending party, pursuant to Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement, that it does not agree with the recommended amendment. If it fails to provide such notice of disagreement, the recommended amendment shall be deemed adopted by the ISO, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 348, as the PTO Maintenance Practices for that PTO, effective as of the date specified in the notice of the recommended amendment, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days from the date of issuance of such notice of amendment.

5.3.3.2. If a PTO makes a recommendation to amend its PTO Maintenance Practices, and if the ISO provides notice within the 30 days specified in the first paragraph of this Section 5.3.3, pursuant to Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement, that the ISO, having regard for the Section 348 Criteria, does not agree with the recommended amendment, the PTO and the ISO shall make good faith efforts to reach a resolution relating to the recommended amendment. If, after such efforts, the PTO and the ISO cannot reach a resolution, the pre-existing PTO Maintenance Practices shall be retained. Either Party may, however, seek further redress through appropriate processes, including the Maintenance Coordination Committee, the ISO Governing Board, and/or the dispute resolution mechanism specified in Section 15 of the Transmission Control Agreement. Following the conclusion of the redress processes, the PTO's Maintenance Practices, as altered, if at all, by these processes, shall be deemed adopted by the ISO, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 348, as the PTO Maintenance Practices for that PTO.

5.3.3.3. If the ISO makes a recommendation to amend the PTO Maintenance Practices of a PTO, the PTO Maintenance Practices, as amended pursuant to the ISO recommendation, shall be deemed adopted by the ISO, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 348, as the PTO Maintenance Practices for that PTO, effective as of the date specified by the ISO in its notice of recommended amendment. If the PTO gives notice of a disagreement within the 30 days specified in the first paragraph of this Section 5.3.3, the PTO and the ISO shall make good faith efforts to reach a resolution relating to the recommended amendment. If a resolution is not reached, either Party may seek further redress through appropriate processes, including the Maintenance Coordination Committee, the ISO Governing Board, and/or the dispute resolution mechanism specified in Section 15 of the Transmission Control Agreement. The PTO may also request, during the initial attempts at resolution and at any stage of the redress processes, a deferral of the ISO recommended amendment, and the ISO shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a request, having regard to the Section 348 Criteria. Following the conclusion of the redress processes, the PTO's Maintenance Practices, as altered, if at all, by these processes, shall be deemed adopted by the ISO, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 348, as the PTO Maintenance Practices for that PTO.

5.3.3.4. If the ISO determines in its judgment, after considering the Section 348 Criteria, that prompt action is required to avoid a substantial risk to safety or reliability, it may direct a PTO to implement certain temporary maintenance activities in a period of less than 30 days, by issuing an advisory to the PTO to that effect, by way of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement. Any such maintenance practice advisories shall specify why implementation solely under Section 5.3.3.3 is not sufficient to avoid a substantial risk to safety or reliability including, where a substantial risk is not imminent or clearly imminent, why prompt action is nevertheless required. If time permits, the ISO shall consult with the relevant PTO before issuing a maintenance practice advisory. Upon receiving such an advisory, a PTO shall implement the temporary maintenance activities in question, as of the date specified by the ISO in its advisory, unless the PTO provides a notice to the ISO, in accordance with Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement, that the PTO is unable to implement the temporary maintenance activities as specified. Even if the PTO provides such a notice, the PTO shall use its best efforts to implement the temporary maintenance activities as fully as possible. All such maintenance practice advisories shall cease to have effect in 90 days after issuance or such earlier period as the ISO provides in its notice. Renewal or extension of such temporary maintenance requirements beyond 90 days shall require a recommendation process pursuant to Section 5.3.3.2 or Section 5.3.3.3 of this Appendix.

5.3.3.5. Nothing in this Transmission Control Agreement shall be construed to limit the ISO's authority under Public Utilities Code Section 348 to adopt inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement standards for the transmission facilities under ISO control.

5.4. Qualifications of Personnel

All Maintenance of Transmission Facilities under the ISO's Operational Control shall be performed by persons who, by reason of training, experience and instruction, are qualified to perform the task.

6. MAINTENANCE RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING

The four elements of the ISO's requirements for Maintenance record keeping and reporting are as follows:

a): The PTO will maintain records of its Maintenance activities, as set forth in Section 6.1.
b): The PTO will provide certain Maintenance records to the ISO, as set forth in Section 6.2.

REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFSITE
POWER SUPPLY OPERABILITY
REVISION 1

DCPP 1&2 REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFSITE POWER SUPPLY OPERABILITY

OVERVIEW

The DCPP Operating License and Technical Specifications require two physically independent sources (not necessarily on separate right of way) designed and located so as to minimize to the extent practical the likelihood of their simultaneous failure under operating and postulated accident and environmental conditions. A switchyard common to both sources is acceptable. Each of these sources shall be designed to be available in sufficient time following a loss of all DCPP onsite alternating current power supplies and the other offsite electric power circuit. One of these sources shall be designed to be available within a few seconds following a loss-of-coolant accident. For DCPP, the sources available within seconds are the 230 kV grid interface and the second source is the 525 kV grid interface.

During normal operation, each DCPP unit's electrical loads are supplied from the unit's main onsite electrical generator. If the generator is not available, either due to unit shutdown or other reason, the loads (safety related and non-safety related) are transferred to the 230 kV grid. In addition DCPP has a delayed transfer capability to the 525 kV grid. The offsite power source is sometimes referred to as the preferred power supply in the regulatory documents.

The basic requirement for the offsite power supply is that it provides sufficient capacity and capability for safe shutdown and design basis accident mitigation. When this condition is met, the offsite power supply is considered Operable with respect to the DCPP Operating License and Technical Specifications. It is a necessary condition of the Operating License that the offsite power supply be Operable at all times. If either source of the offsite power system is declared Inoperable, action must be taken to shut down an on-line DCPP units(s) and, for an off-line unit, to suspend activities as required by the DCPP Operating License and Technical Specifications. DCPP must also perform additional diesel testing. The offsite power system is considered Inoperable if either source is degraded to the point that it does not have the capability to effect safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident at DCPP. This level of degradation can be caused by an unstable offsite power system, or any condition, which renders the offsite power unavailable for safe shutdown and emergency purposes.

In specific terms, the offsite power supply voltages (at the DCPP switchyards) must stay within the range of 207 kV to 240 kV and 525 kV to 545 kV under post accident operating conditions. During normal operation, the 230 kV voltage must maintain above 207 kV such that when DCPP transfers its load from the onsite source to the offsite source the voltage does not decrease below 207 kV. During normal operation, the 230 kV voltage at DCPP 230 kV switchyard should meet the 230 kV voltage requirements identified in PG&E Operating Instruction O-23. Otherwise, that offsite power source may be considered Inoperable. Since a design basis accident can result in a unit trip, it is imperative that the trip does not impair the operability of the offsite power system. Therefore, following a trip of a DCPP unit (i.e., the unit breakers open) and assuming the other DCPP unit was already shutdown, the DCPP switchyard voltage must recover to and be maintained at or above 207 kV within 16 seconds following the unit trip. If this condition cannot be met, then the offsite power source is considered Inoperable, and action must be taken to shut down the operating DCPP unit(s). In addition, the 500 kV and 230 kV grid must remain stable if both DCPP units trip.

System Operating procedures and programs shall be in place to ensure that various system operating conditions (generating unit outages, line outages, system loads, spinning reserve, etc.), including multiple contingency events, are evaluated and understood, such that impaired or potentially

degraded grid conditions are recognized, assessed and immediately communicated to the DCPP operating staff for Operability determination.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Note: This section identifies the operational requirements for the DCPP offsite power supply. These requirements are part of the DCPP design basis and licensing basis and include PG&E System Operating Instruction 0-23 as revised as necessary. Failure to meet these requirements may render the offsite power supply Inoperable, thus requiring the operating DCPP unit(s) to shutdown. Failure to meet these requirements must be immediately communicated to the ISO, PG&E and the DCPP operating staff for operability determination. Changes in the operation of the transmission network that conflict with these requirements requires prior approval by PG&E.

1.: Three transmission lines into the 500 kV DCPP switchyard and two lines into the 230 kV DCPP switchyard are normally in service. Any change that alters the performance capabilities of either offsite source at the applicable switchyard requires prior approval by PG&E (DCPP) and the ISO.

No line may be removed from service at anytime without prior notification to the DCPP Operations Department. At least two independent sources of power, the 500 kV and the 230 kV systems, between the transmission network (grid) and DCPP switchyards shall be available at all times. PG&E System Operating Procedure, 0-23, Operating Instructions for Reliable Transmission Service for Diablo Canyon, provides specific requirements to determine operability of these sources.

2.: With both Diablo Canyon units off-line, the DCPP 500 kV and 230 kV offsite power source should be capable of providing 130 MVA (i.e. dual unit orderly shutdown) to Diablo Canyon for normal operation, safe shutdown, and design basis accident mitigation.
3.: The minimum grid voltage at DCPP 230 kV switchyard shall be maintained at or above 230 kV for normal operation with all Los Padres 230 kV elements (See list below) in service. In the event of a system disturbance or line outage that can cause the DCPP voltage to dip below 230 kV, including the trip of a DCPP unit, the grid voltage shall recover to 207 kV or above within 16 seconds.

Los Padres Area Major 230 kV Elements		Major 500 kV Elements
DCPP—Mesa Line		DCPP-Gates Line
Morro Bay—Mesa Line		DCPP-Midway Line #1 & #2 Line
Morro May—DCPP Line
Morro Bay—Xxxxxxxxx Line
Morro Bay—Midway Line #1 or #2 Line
Morro Bay—Gates Line #2 Line
Largest Los Padres area generator other than DCPP
DCPP 230 kV capacitor banks
Mesa 115 kV capacitor banks

4.

Planning and operating reliability criteria shall result in plans for the following events without loss of grid stability or availability:

a): The loss of two DCPP units.
b): The loss of any generating unit on the PG&E grid.
c): The loss of any major transmission circuit or intertie on the PG&E grid.
d): The loss of any large load or block of load on the PG&E grid.

5.

The maximum grid voltage at the DCPP 230 kV and 500 kV switchyards shall be maintained at or below 240 kV and 545 kV, respectively, unless required to preserve transmission network integrity.

6.: The 500 kV system shall be maintained between 525 kV and 545 kV. Operation of DCPP is limited between 24.375 kV and 26.25 kV (i.e. 0.975 p.u. and 1.05 p.u.).

PG&E, in coordination with the ISO, shall perform and update system studies based on changing grid conditions (load growth, etc.) to identify critical conditions that could render the DCPP offsite power supply Inoperable. The offsite power system is considered Inoperable if it is degraded to the point that it does not have the capability to effect safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident at DCPP. This level of degradation can be caused by an unstable offsite power system, or any condition that renders the offsite power supply unavailable for safe shutdown and emergency purposes. Procedures and programs shall be in effect to ensure that the DCPP operating staff is immediately notified of such conditions. Grid conditions that are more severe with respect to DCPP switchyard voltages or otherwise unanalyzed render the offsite power supply Inoperable. DCPP operating staff shall be immediately notified of such conditions. Auditable records of system study results shall be maintained. Study results, including revisions and updates, shall be transmitted via letter to both PG&E (Transmission Planning, Electric System Operations and DCPP) and the ISO. Study results and conclusions shall be assessed at least annually and updated, if needed, based on changing grid conditions. Results of the annual assessments shall be transmitted via letter to both PG&E (Transmission Planning, Electric System Operations and DCPP) and the ISO.

System studies shall consider the interconnections between PG&E, and other utilities in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) region.

7.

In the event of a complete loss of the DCPP offsite power supply (i.e. both the 230 kV and 500 kV grid interfaces) both the ISO and PG&E shall establish the following restoration priorities:

a): Highest possible priority shall be given to restoring power to the DCPP switchyards.
b): Should incoming lines to the DCPP switchyards be damaged, highest priority shall be assigned to repair and restoration of at least one line into the DCPP switchyards.
c): Repair crews engaging in power restoration activities for DCPP shall be given the highest priority for manpower, equipment, and materials.
d): Formal programs and procedures shall be in place to effect items a), b), and c) above.

8.

Grid frequency shall be maintained at 60 Hertz (nominal). The following operations are initiated for low system frequency conditions:

a): At 59.65 Hz, E19 & E20 interruptible customers are tripped.
b): PG&E complies with the WECC Coordinated Off-Nominal Frequency Load Shedding and Restoration Plan.

9.

Patrol and inspection of PG&E transmission lines shall be performed in accordance with the current CAISO approved PG&E Overhead Electrical Transmission Line Maintenance Practice.

10.

Line insulators between the plant and switchyard shall be washed by PG&E on an appropriate wash cycle during the wash season in accordance with the current CAISO approved PG&E Overhead Electrical Transmission Line Maintenance Practice to reduce line outages that may result from flashovers due to possible accumulated contamination.

11.

Maintenance, testing and calibration of DCPP switchyard equipment and protective relays shall be performed in accordance with the current CAISO approved PG&E Electrical Station Maintenance Practice.

12.

PG&E (DCPP) maintains a safety analysis for DCPP (Section 8.0, Electric Power of DCPP 1&2 Final Safety Analysis Update Report (FSAR)). PG&E (DCPP) is required by 10CFR50.71(e) to submit to the NRC periodic updates to the FSAR. The requirements contained in this Appendix E are documented in the FSAR. Any changes to these requirements, or the Bulk Power Transmission System Reliability criteria used as a basis for compliance with a requirement, shall be transmitted by both the ISO and PG&E (Transmission operator) to PG&E (DCPP) for prior approval.

These Specific Requirements mirror existing operating protocols, equipment, regional and national reliability organization standards and are subject to modification as necessary when new standards, equipment or protocols are adopted or updated.

SONGS 2&3 REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFSITE
POWER SUPPLY OPERABILITY

Revised September 2, 2002

OVERVIEW

The preferred source of electrical power for SONGS electrical loads (safety-related and nonsafety-related) is the offsite power supply or 230 kV grid. The offsite power supply is sometimes referred to as the preferred power supply in the regulatory documents.

The basic requirement for the offsite power supply is that it provides sufficient capacity and capability to safely shut down the reactor and to mitigate certain specified accident scenarios. When this condition is met, the offsite power supply is considered Operable with respect to the SONGS Operating License and Technical Specifications. It is a necessary condition of the Operating License that the offsite power supply be Operable at all times. If the offsite power system is declared Inoperable, action must be taken to shut down an online SONGS unit(s) and, for an offline unit, to suspend activities as required by the SONGS Operating License and Technical Specifications. The offsite power system is considered Inoperable if it is degraded to the point that it does not have the capability to supply electrical loads needed to safely shut down the reactor and to mitigate the effects of an accident at SONGS. This level of degradation can be caused by an unstable offsite power system, or any condition which renders the offsite power unavailable to safely shutdown the units or to supply emergency electrical loads.

In specific terms, the offsite power supply voltage (at the SONGS switchyard) must stay within the range of 218 kV to 238 kV under all normal and plant accident (i.e. emergency shutdown or trip) conditions. Otherwise the offsite power supply is considered Inoperable. Since accident scenarios for which the plant is designed can result in a unit trip, it is imperative that the trip not impair the operability of the offsite power system. Therefore, following a trip of a SONGS unit (i.e., the unit breakers open), the SONGS switchyard voltage must recover to and be maintained at or above 218 kV within 2.5 seconds following the trip. If this condition cannot be met, then the offsite power supply is considered Inoperable, and action must be taken to shut down the operating SONGS unit(s). Even though these requirements apply at all times, this condition is primarily of concern when one SONGS unit is online and the other unit offline. If both SONGS units are online and one unit trips (due to an accident or otherwise), the non-tripped unit will provide local voltage support to the SONGS switchyard, and 230 kV system voltage will remain within the required range. In cases where one SONGS unit is online and one unit offline, the offsite power supply must be sufficiently robust to survive a trip of the online unit and meet the SONGS voltage requirements in the post-trip condition. A dual unit trip is not the limiting condition since a plant accident is not postulated simultaneous with a dual unit trip.

The SONGS switchyard is made up of the SCE switchyard and the SDG&E switchyard. Unless specifically stated otherwise, SONGS switchyard requirements contained in this document apply to both the SCE switchyard and the SDG&E switchyard.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Note 1:		This section identifies the operational requirements for the SONGS offsite power supply. These requirements are part of the SONGS design basis and licensing basis. Failure to meet these requirements may render the offsite power supply Inoperable, thus requiring the operating SONGS unit(s) to shutdown. Failure to meet these requirements must be immediately communicated to SCE and the SONGS Control Room for operability determination. Changes in the operation of the transmission network that conflict with these requirements require prior approval by SCE.
Note 2:		Specific requirements, procedures, operating bulletins, division orders, and analysis that support or provide the basis for the specific operational requirements may be revised periodically subject to prior approval of the affected parties.

1.: Nine transmission lines into the SONGS switchyard are normally in service. Any increase or decrease in the number of lines into the SONGS switchyard requires prior approval of SCE. (Reference 7)

No line may be removed from service for greater than 30 days without prior notification to SCE. At least two independent transmission lines (one from SCE and one from SDG&E) between the transmission network (grid) and SONGS switchyard shall be in service at all times. (References 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8)

2.

With both San Xxxxxx units off-line, the SONGS offsite power source shall be capable of providing 158 MW and 96 MVAR to San Xxxxxx for normal operation and for shutting down the units during plant Design Basis Accident (DBA) conditions. (References 9, 10)

3.

The minimum grid voltage at the SONGS switchyard shall be maintained at or above 218 kV. In the event of a system disturbance that can cause the voltage to dip below 218 kV, including the trip of a SONGS unit, the grid voltage shall recover to 218 kV or above within 2.5 seconds. (References 9, 10, 12, 13, 18)

4.

The following initiating events shall not result in the loss of grid stability or availability:

a.: The loss of a San Xxxxxx Unit (with the other unit already offline), or
b.: The loss of any generating unit on the SCE and SDG&E grids, or
c.: The loss of any major transmission circuit or intertie on the SCE and SDG&E grids, or
d.: The loss of any large load or block of load (e.g., due to a bus section outage) on the SCE and SDG&E grids.

(References 2, 3, 4, 8)

5.

The maximum grid voltage at the SONGS switchyard shall be maintained at or below 238 kV. (References 10, 11, 18)

6.

The normal operating voltage of the SONGS switchyard shall be maintained at 230 kV. The SONGS switchyard voltage shall not exceed 232 kV unless required to preserve transmission network integrity. (References 10, 11, 18)

7.

The limiting conditions for SONGS offsite power source operability are defined as follows:

1.: One SONGS unit is off- line, and
2.: One of the critical line (s) outages occurs (see list of the lines below), and
3.: VAR flows north and south of SONGS are above the threshold levels for the existing combined SCE and SDG&E import level as defined by the referenced nomograms in the GCC Operating Procedure: SONGS Voltage (Current revision).

Based on these nomograms and SONGS offline unit's status, if the Grid Control Center or ISO determines that the operating point is outside the applicable derated nomogram line, they shall notify SONGS immediately that a particular transmission line is out of service, and the critical system conditions are sufficient to cause SONGS off site power source to be considered INOPERABLE; i.e., unable to support SONGS voltage at 218 kV if the remaining unit trips. SONGS Control Room will declare the offsite source inoperable (in anticipation of losing the second SONGS unit) and will declare the time period within which the on-line unit will have to initiate shutdown if conditions are not corrected. The time period will be within 1 to 24 hours, based on the SONGS plant and equipment conditions.

List of critical transmission lines/grid conditions:

Critical Line(s) Out In SCE Territory

Palo Verde -Xxxxxx 500 kV Line
Xxxxx- Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx 230 kV Lines
Xxxx-Xxxxxxx & Mira Loma-Xxxxxxx 500 kV Lines
Xxxx- Xxxx Loma 2&3 500 kV Lines
Two Midway - Xxxxxxx 500 kV Lines
SONGS- Xxxxxxx & SONGS - Chino 230 kV Lines

Critical Line(s) Out in SDG&E Territory

Hassayampa-N. Gila 500 kV Line
N. Gila- Imperial Valley 500 kV Line
Imperial Valley- Xxxxxx 500 kV Line
Imperial Valley- Xxxxxx 500 kV Line & Imperial Valley- LaRosita 230 kV Line

SCE/SDG&E Tie Open, Xxxx 0 Xx-Xxxx (Xxxx 0 Off-Line)
SCE/SDG&E Tie Open, Xxxx 0 Xx-Xxxx (Xxxx 0 Off-Line)

Systems studies shall be performed and updated based on changing grid conditions (load growth, etc.) to identify critical conditions, such as the above cases, that could render the offsite power supply Inoperable. The offsite power system is considered Inoperable if it is degraded to the point that it does not have the capability to provide electrical support to safe shutdown loads and to mitigate the effects of an accident at SONGS. This level of degradation can be caused by an unstable offsite power system, or any condition which renders the offsite power supply unavailable for safe shutdown and emergency purposes. The following actions are required:

a.: Procedures and programs shall be in effect to ensure that the SONGS Control Room is immediately notified of such conditions.
b.: Grid conditions that are more severe with respect to SONGS switchyard voltage, or are otherwise unanalyzed, render the offsite power supply Inoperable. The SONGS Control Room shall be immediately notified of such conditions.
c.: Auditable records of current system studies shall be made available to SCE as needed to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. Study results, including revisions and updates, shall be formally transmitted to SCE.
d.: Study results and conclusions shall be assessed at least annually and updated, if needed, based on changing grid conditions. Results of the annual assessments shall be formally transmitted to SCE.

(References 1, 2, 19, 21)

System studies shall consider the interconnections between SCE, SDG&E, and other utilities in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). (Reference 7)

8.

In the event of loss of the SONGS offsite power supply:

Note:

SONGS 2 and 3 are required by NRC regulations to be able to safely cope with a loss of all AC power (Station Blackout) for a maximum of four hours. The four hour coping duration is based on the expectation that at least one source of AC power (offsite transmission line or onsite diesel generator) will be restored to the blacked-out unit within the four hours to ensure the proper functioning of systems required for plant safety.

a.: Highest possible priority shall be given to restoring power to the SONGS switchyard. Procedures and training should consider several potential methods of transmitting power from black-start capable units to the SONGS switchyard. This includes such items as nearby gas turbine generators, portable generators, hydro generators, and black-start fossil power plants. (References 15, 26, 28)
b.: Should incoming lines to the SONGS switchyard be damaged, highest priority shall be assigned to repair and restoration of at least one line into the SONGS switchyard.
c.: Repair crews engaging in power restoration activities for SONGS shall be given the highest priority for manpower, equipment, and materials.
d.: Formal programs and procedures shall be in place to effect items a, b, and c above.

(References 14, 15, 16, 17, 26, 27)

9.: Grid frequency shall be maintained at 60 Hertz (nominal). A trip of one SONGS unit shall not cause the grid frequency to dip below 59.7 Hertz. SCE and SDG&E comply with the WECC Coordinated Off-Nominal Frequency Load Shedding and Restoration Plan.
Note:: System separation between SCE and SDG&E at the SONGS bus tie on low grid frequency mentioned in the previous version of the TCA is being removed from SONGS by mid-2002. Increased load shedding schemes by SDG&E have been implemented which preclude the need for system separation at SONGS bus ties on low frequency.

(References 7, 20)

10.: SCE and SDG&E Bulk Power Transmission System Reliability Criteria as described in the SONGS 2&3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report shall be maintained. It is recognized that the SCE and SDG&E Bulk Power Transmission System Reliability Criteria as described in the SONGS 2&3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report may be revised from time to time. In the event the reliability criteria are revised, a system assessment and/or study (as described under specification 7) shall be performed to determine if the revised reliability criteria adversely impact grid reliability and availability as defined in this specification. Results of the assessment and/or study together with a copy of the revised reliability criteria shall be provided to SCE. Changes in grid operation based on the revised criteria and associated studies shall not be implemented without prior approval of SCE. (Reference 7)
11.: Patrol and inspection of SCE and SDG&E transmission lines shall be performed in accordance with the current ISO approved Overhead Electric Transmission Line Maintenance Practice or as required by the NRC plant-operating license, whichever requirement is more stringent. These patrols and inspections are to ensure that the physical and electrical integrity of transmission system components are maintained. (Reference 7)

12.: Line insulators on lines which carry power from the plant to the grid shall be washed as required by the NRC plant-operating license or on an appropriate wash cycle in accordance with the current ISO approved Overhead Electric Transmission Line Maintenance Practice, whichever requirement is more stringent. The purpose and frequency of which is proven to prevent line outages that may result from flashovers due to accumulated contamination. (Reference 7)
13.: Maintenance, testing and calibration of SCE and SDG&E station equipment and protective relays shall be performed in accordance with the current ISO approved Electrical Station Maintenance Practice or as required by the NRC plant operating license, whichever requirement is more stringent. (Reference 7)
14.: Preventive maintenance and testing of SONGS switchyard batteries shall be performed per IEEE 450-1972. Preventive maintenance and testing of SONGS switchyard battery chargers and DC system components shall be performed routinely. (Reference 7, 23)
15.: Updates to applicable portions of Section 8.0, Electric Power of the SONGS 2 & 3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) shall be provided annually. These updates will be used by SCE to prepare a UFSAR change submittal to the NRC. SONGS is required by 10CFR50.71(e) to submit to the NRC periodic updates to the UFSAR.
