Subject: FERC Valentine: Order on ISO Amend. 36: Creditworthiness
Importance: High


The FERC issued an order today on ISO's unilateral relaxation of the
creditworthiness standards for PG&E and SCE.? The decision is available at
http://www.ferc.fed.us/electric/bulkpower/ER01-889-000.pdf.? In the order,
the FERC allows the utilities to self schedule for their own generation, but
does not allow the relaxation of creditworthiness standards as it would
apply to transactions with third parties.? Stated differently, the utilities
can schedule at the ISO for load served by their own resource, but they have
to meet the ISO tariff creditworthiness requirements if they are buying
generation from anyone else.? This means that ISO can't "dump" imbalance /
AS costs on the utilities if DWR doesn't buy it.? It also indirectly
addresses the Reliant, et. al. / ISO TRO suit, as well as Duke's suit
against ISO and DWR.? ABB
