Planning Redispatch: With the implementation of the NEPOOL Markets and the New England RTO, ISO New England Inc.(ISO-NE) is the independent operator with sole authority to dispatch generating resources operating under the ISO-NE Market Rules in New England.  ISO-NE does not perform planning redispatch in order to accommodate requests for firm point-to-point transmission service.  Instead, ISO-NE dispatches all generation on the basis of a reliability-constrained, market-based dispatch methodology.  The Participating Transmission Owners (PTOs), providing transmission service under Schedule 21 of the ISO-NE Tariff, do not have the authority or ability to dispatch generating units as a means of providing transmission service.  Accordingly, consistent with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order No. 890 at Paragraph 993, the PTOs are planning, as part of their compliance filing that will be made with the Commission on October 11, 2007, to eliminate existing references to redispatch in the firm point-to-point service provisions under Schedule 21.
