Before you buy and use the
Regional Transmission product, make sure you’ve done your homework . . .
•Have you executed the new, Non-Firm Annex A service
agreement with all the
WestConnect Pricing Experiment Regional TPs (AZPS, EPE,
NEVP, PNM,
PSCO, SWTC, TSGT, WACM, & WALC)? Check with your
regular contracts
person at each TP
to obtain the new service agreement.
•Have you established creditworthiness with each Regional
TP?
•Have you obtained the service through the OASIS/WC Wizard
button?
•Have you Pre-confirmed the reservation?
•Have you followed the proper E-Tagging procedures for all
entities involved in the path?
A few things to
remember along the way . . .
•Only Hourly, Non-Firm service is available with the
Regional Rate
•Sorry, but no renewals, resales, or redirects are allowed.
•All Regional TPs in the path have to approve the
reservation before going to a
CONFIRMED state . . . so be patient. . .
•You can only request the regional service through the WC
Wizard interface on OASIS.
•Confirmed TSR will have a $.09/MWh administrative fee
added on your bill, in
addition to the
cost of the transmission.
* Losses and scheduling fees for each regional TP will
still be charged.
