Deposits If the Eligible Customer is applying for Long-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service, then pursuant to Section 17.3 of the OATT, the Eligible Customer must also provide a deposit equal to one month’s charge for the highest Reserved Capacity during the term of service. In addition to the required deposit, upon receipt, or during the evaluation of a request for service, MATL may conduct an initial credit evaluation and future follow-up credit evaluations of the Transmission Customer’s ability to meet MATL’s creditworthiness criteria described under Tariff Attachment L. Ancillary Services Ancillary Services are those services that are necessary to support the transmission of capacity and energy from resources to loads while maintaining reliable operation of the Transmission Provider’s Transmission System in accordance with Good Utility Practices. MATL is a merchant transmission-only company that does not possess any generation resources and is neither a provider of Ancillary Services nor a Balancing Authority. In order to maintain reliability within and among the Balancing Authorities affected by the transmission service, a Transmission Customer must coordinate with the respective Balancing Authorities for the MATL Transmission System for the provisions and delivery of generation-based Ancillary Service requirements. The MATL Transmission System transcends two (2) Balancing Authorities. The Alberta Electric System Operator (“AESO” or ISO) is the host Balancing Authority for the Alberta portion of the MATL Transmission System and NorthWestern Energy (“NWMT”) is the host Balancing Authority for the Montana portion of the MATL System. Any delivery of Ancillary Services over the MATL Transmission System shall use reserved transmission capacity that the Transmission Customer has purchased or been assigned. Intermittent resources connected to the MATL Transmission System and non-intermittent resources connected to the MATL Transmission System serve load in Canada will be subject to MATL’s OATT Rate Schedule 11. Under Schedule 11, the applicable connected resource must self-supply regulation and frequency response services and must also generator imbalance service.
