< Market Participants:
< < This notice announces the "re-opening" of the Summer < 2000 Market Participating Load Trial Program. Note that this program has < also been referred to as the Summer 2000 A/S Load Program. It involves < load participation in the Non-Spin and Replacement Reserve and also the < Supplemental Energy markets. This re-opening notice does not apply to the < Summer 2000 Demand Relief Program. < < On February 29, 2000, the ISO issued a Market Notice < for the "Summer 2000 Market Participating Load Trial Program" soliciting < participation in the ISO's Ancillary Services and Supplemental Energy < markets by additional Participating Loads. The ISO proposed to < accommodate such participation from June 15 to October 15, 2000 by Loads < that could provide telemetry of their Demand data to the ISO's Energy < Management System pursuant to a "relaxed" Technical Standard. The ISO < indicated that it would accept proposals for up to the following amounts < of capacity for bidding in the specified markets: < < Non-Spinning Reserve: 400 MW < Replacement Reserve: 400 MW < Supplemental Energy: 1,000 MW < < In response to that solicitation, the ISO received < several proposals and has been working to implement participation by the < respondents. In the course of the implementation process, the ISO has < determined that the actual amounts of capacity that will potentially be < available to participate will be below the maximum for any of the listed < services. Approximately half of the 400 MW in Non-Spin and Replacement < has been committed (some subject to CPUC approval) leaving approximately < 200 MW available in each category. Approximately 750 MW is still < available in the Supplemental Energy category. < < Therefore, the ISO wishes to announce a re-opening < of the period for submittal of proposals for the "Summer 2000 Market < Participating Load Trial Program" The ISO seeks to obtain the total < amount of participation requested for the trial program within the time < available. At this time the ISO plans to leave this solicitation open < until the maximum capacities are reached as noted above. Also it should < be noted that while the solicitation will be open until the requested < capacities are reached, the current timeframe of the Summer 2000 Trial < Program and the applicability of the "relaxed" Technical Standards runs < only through October 15, 2000. At this time the ISO expects to continue < this Load Program beyond October 15, 2000, however a final decision on < continuation and the exact technical and commercial details applicable to < any such continuation will be reached late this year based on a review of < the Summer 2000 Program experience. < < < Additional respondents should follow the process and < requirements set forth in the February 29, 2000 Market Notice in all < respects other than the date for delivery of proposals. This can be < located on the ISO Home Page at http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/load/ . < or by navigating from Client Services to Stakeholder Processes to < Participating Loads. There are 4 documents listed under the Feb 29 < posting entitled " Formal Invitation for the Summer 2000 Load < Participation in the ISO Ancillary Service and Supplemental Energy < Markets. " < < If you have any questions, please direct them to < Mike Dozier at 916-608-5708. < < < Don Fuller Director, Client Relations
