Re: California Independent System Operator Corporation Filing of Split Resource Participation Agreement Docket No. ER20- -000Split Resource Agreement • April 30th, 2020 • California
This proposal will benefit CAISO customers by allowing capacity from one of the generating units in the split resource to satisfy resource adequacy requirements in the CAISO balancing authority area,2 while the other separate and distinct generating unit serves as a Sacramento Municipal Utility District (“SMUD”) capacity resource. The CAISO requests that the Commission accept the Agreement effective July 1, 2020. This effective date will allow Sutter to participate as split resources supporting Sutter’s continued fulfillment of pre- existing Calpine commitments to SMUD and serving CAISO load serving entities
