Adequacy Resources submit the required bids or schedules into the IFM during the Availability Assessment Hours. If the SC does not submit bids, the ISO will submit bids on behalf of the SC for the hours the resource has an RA capacity obligation. Even if the ISO does not accept the bids or schedules submitted into the IFM for the Resource Adequacy Resource, the resource will have met its obligations under SCP by submitting the bids or schedules. As described in of the BPM, a non-Resource System Resource that has an outage that would count against its availability may request unit substitution by a non-Resource Adequacy Resource within the ISO’s Balancing Area Authority to avoid counting the unavailability toward the monthly availability calculation. The formula for determining the availability calculation of a non-Resource-Specific System Resource during the Availability Assessment Hours in any given month will be as follows: Availability Calculation for a single non-Resource-Specific System Resource = SCP Bids Available MW in Availability Assessment Hours / Assessment ∑ ∑Availability Hours in month Where SCP RA Bids Available MW per hour = min (sum of MW-hour in submitted Day-Ahead Economic Bids and Self Schedules, RA Capacity MW per hour) Out-of-Service Transmission Path A non-Resource-Specific System Resource cannot submit Economic Bids or in the IFM when the transmission path at the Scheduling is completely out-of-service (i.e., transmission path rating is 0 MW). Scheduling Coordinators for Resource-Specific System Resources with Resource Adequacy Capacity may submit the Availability Assessment Hours in a month where the transmission path at the Scheduling Point is out-of-service as described in Tariff Section 30.8 using the SLIC application. The process to submit hours for out-of-service transmission path will be described in ISO Operating Procedure T-113. There are two requirements applicable to reporting outages for NRS-RA resources and transmission outages at an inter-tie. All reports of outages that begin prior to January 1, 2012 will be submitted in accordance with the first requirement (table 3), all outages that begin on or after January 1, 2012 will be reported in accordance with the second requirement (table 4).
