The goal of this initiative is to work collaboratively with interested stakeholders to develop the necessary tariff language and software enhancements to enable a general Central Procurement Entity (CPE) construct for Resource Adequacy Year 2023. While the CAISO intends to develop tariff language broad enough to allow any Local Regulatory Authority (LRA) to develop their own central procurement entity, the impetus for this initiative is implementation of the CPUC’s D.20-06-002.
Outcome statement: This implementation results in tariff, software, and business process enhancements to allow all Local Regulatory Authorities (LRAs) to designate a Central Procurement Entity (CPE) to procure local resources on behalf of its Load Serving Entities (LSEs) and to allow LRAs to designate the same CPE to procure local resources on behalf of the LSEs under the jurisdiction of those multiple LRAs. The implementation scope includes:
1) Recognizing a Central Procurement Entity (CPE)
2) System and Local Obligation for CPE and LSEs with Load in Muliple Transmission Access Charge (TAC) Areas
3) Allocation of System and Flexible Attributes of Local Resource Adequacy (RA) Resources
4) Clarification of Capacity Procurement Mechanism (CPM) Process and Cost Allocations in regards to CPE changes
