Common use of Testing for an Appreciable Clause in Contracts

Testing for an Appreciable. Amount of Redispatch Relief and Determining the Settlement Market Flow: a. Calculating the Expected Impact of the PARs at the Michigan-Ontario Border on Market Flows b. Determining Whether to Use Unadjusted Market Flow or LEC Adjusted Market Flow; Determining if Appreciable Redispatch Relief is Available 1) When the Non-Monitoring RTO’s LEC Adjusted Market Flow equals the Non-Monitoring RTO’s unadjusted Market Flow and the Non-Monitoring RTO’s Market Flow (also the Market Flow used for settlement) is greater than the Non-Monitoring RTO M2M Entitlement for the constrained M2M Flowgate, the Monitoring RTO will assume that an appreciable amount of redispatch relief is available from the Non-Monitoring RTO and will engage the M2M coordination process for the constrained M2M Flowgate. 2) When the Non-Monitoring RTO’s unadjusted Market Flow is greater than the Non-Monitoring RTO’s LEC Adjusted Market Flow, then the following calculation shall be performed to determine if an appreciable amount of redispatch relief is expected to be available: A. Determine the minimum of (a) the Non-Monitoring RTO’s unadjusted Market Flow, and (b) the Non-Monitoring RTO’s M2M Entitlement, for the constrained M2M Flowgate; and B. Determine the maximum of (x) the value from step A above, and (y) the Non-Monitoring RTO’s LEC Adjusted Market Flow When the value from B above (the Market Flow used for settlement), is greater than the Non-Monitoring RTO’s M2M Entitlement for the constrained M2M Flowgate, the Monitoring RTO will assume that an appreciable amount of redispatch relief is available from the Non- Monitoring RTO and will engage the M2M coordination process for the constrained M2M Flowgate. 3) When the Non-Monitoring RTO’s unadjusted Market Flow is less than the Non-Monitoring RTO LEC Adjusted Market Flow, the following calculation shall be performed to determine if an appreciable amount of redispatch relief is expected to be available: A. Determine the maximum of (a) the Non-Monitoring RTO’s unadjusted Market Flow, and (b) the Non-Monitoring RTO M2M Entitlement, for the constrained M2M Flowgate; and B. Determine the minimum of (x) the value from A above, and (y) the Non- Monitoring RTO’s LEC Adjusted Market Flow When the value from B above (the Market Flow used for settlement), is greater than the Non-Monitoring RTO’s M2M Entitlement for the constrained M2M Flowgate, the Monitoring RTO will assume that an appreciable amount of redispatch relief is available from the Non-Monitoring RTO and will engage the M2M coordination process for the constrained M2M Flowgate.
