In January of 2007 SRP initiated the WECC Rating Process for Path 54 in an effort to update the path rating and to redefine the path. In the fall of 2007 SRP concluded the WECC Rating Process at which time Path 54 was redefined from a two-line definition to a one-line definition, Coronado/Silverking with a rating of 1133 MW.

As a result of the new Path 54 definition the Coronado/Cholla line was no longer a part of Path 54 and a path rating needed to be established specific to this path. SRP performed the necessary study work per NERC Standard MOD-029-1 Rated System Path Methodology. SRP has shared the results of the study with APS and has addressed any concerns/comments that they had. SRP has concluded its study work and has determined the new total transfer capability (TTC) for Coronado/Cholla to be 315 MW and the new TTC for Cholla/Coronado to be 507 MW. These new TTC values are in effect as of 08/01/2008.

Transition Process for New Five Year Rollover Requirement

SRP is phasing in a new minimum five-year reservation requirement for rollover rights. Once a Customer has a five-year reservation with rollover rights the Customer must notify SRP no later than one year prior to the end of the five-year reservation of the Customer’s intention to rollover the current reservation. The transition process permits SRP Customers up to two years to comply with the new mandatory minimum reservation period for rollover rights.

Please see the "New Five Year Rollover Requirement" document in the Business Practices folder for a complete explanation and examples.
