CAISO Scheduling Coordinator Charge Clause Samples

The CAISO Scheduling Coordinator Charge clause defines the responsibility for costs and fees associated with the services of a Scheduling Coordinator in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market. Typically, this clause specifies which party—such as a power generator, marketer, or load-serving entity—will bear the charges incurred for scheduling and managing energy transactions through CAISO. For example, it may require the seller to pay all CAISO-related scheduling fees, or it may allocate these costs to the buyer depending on the transaction structure. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate financial responsibility for CAISO scheduling charges, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring that all parties understand their cost obligations in energy market transactions.
