Exceptional Dispatches on a least cost basis. ISO Operators shall also consider the factors set forth in Section 7.3.5.2 above Capacity at Risk of Retirement Needed for Reliability ISO Tariff Section 43.2.6 This BPM Section describes the requirements that capacity must meet in order for the ISO to issue a risk of retirement CPM designation. The five tariff requirements are as follows: (1) the resource was not contracted as RA Capacity nor listed as RA Capacity in any LSE’s annual Resource Adequacy Plan during the current RA Compliance Year; (2) the ISO did not identify any deficiency, individual or collective, in an LSE’s annual Resource Adequacy Plan for the current RA Compliance Year that resulted in a CPM designation for the resource in the current RA Compliance Year; (3) ISO technical assessments project that the resource will be needed for reliability purposes, either for its locational or operational characteristics, by the end of the calendar year following the current RA Compliance Year; (4) no new generation is projected by the ISO to be in operation by the start of the subsequent RA Compliance Year that will meet the identified reliability need; and (5) the resource owner submits to the ISO and DMM, at least 180 days prior to terminating the resource’s PGA or removing the resource from PGA Schedule 1, a request for a CPM designation under this Section 43.2.6 and the affidavit of an executive officer of the company who has the legal authority to bind such entity, with the supporting information and documentation discussed in the BPM for Reliability Requirements, that attests that it will be uneconomic for the resource to remain in service in the current RA Compliance Year and that the decision to retire is definite unless CPM procurement occurs. For the and fourth requirements, the ISO uses a diverse set of tools and follows a multi-step process whereby the generating facility is studied for its impact on local and system reliability, operational flexibility, given the best available information regarding grid conditions for year 2 and the assumed availability in year 2 of RA resources procured for year 1 (including other known generator retirements) and any new generation that will achieve commercial operation to meet year 2 needs. This analysis consists of one or more of the following studies -- power flow, voltage stability, transient stability, reactive margin studies, and production
