Abstract:
In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in Docket RM05-5-020, FERC proposes amending its regulations at 18 CFR 38.2 to incorporate by reference business practice standards adopted by the Wholesale Electric Quadrant (WEQ) of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). FERC proposes to approve phase II Demand Response (DR)Measurement and Verification (M&V) Standards and the Wholesale Energy Efficiency (EE)Measurement and Verification Standards. The proposed rule affects Independent Transmission Operators and Regional Transmission Organizations. FERC expects the burden to increase minimally due to the proposed adoption of the Demand Response M&V (Measurement and Verification) and Energy Efficiency M&V business practice standards. Adoption of these standards is intended to improve the methods and procedures used to accurately measure demand response and energy efficiency resource performance. Additionally, these standards should help ISOs and RTOs to properly credit demand response and energy efficiency resources for their services. The FERC-516 is affected because there is a minimal increase in burden associated with respondents filing tariff revisions to incorporate provisions of the new standards. The submittal for this package was delayed due to another item in FERC-516 pending at OMB. The FERC-717 ICR No. to which this package is related is 201204-1902-004.
