[Docket No. AD14-6-000]
New York Independent System Operator, Inc.; Supplemental Notice
of Technical Conference
As announced in the Notice issued on January 28, 2014, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) staff will hold a technical
conference on February 26, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 1:00
p.m. (Eastern Time), to discuss with interested parties whether to
model Load Zone K as an export-constrained zone for future Demand Curve
reset proceedings.\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The conference will be held at the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. The technical
conference will be led by staff, and will be open for the public to
attend. The conference will include a background presentation by New
York Independent System Operator, Inc. as well as technical questions
from Commission Staff. There will also be opportunities for comments
and questions from other conference attendees. The specific agenda and
procedures to be followed at the conference will be announced by staff
at the opening of the conference. Attendees should be prepared to
discuss the following:
1. Whether Zone K (Long Island) can be modeled as export
constrained Load Zone.
2. Whether Zone K should be included as a nested zone within the
current G-J Locality so that the larger zone would become a G-K
Locality. If not, what rationale supports allowing Zone K to be a
nested zone within NYCA, but not a nested zone within the G-J Locality?
Specifically, how can generation capacity located in Zone K be made
available to serve the reliability needs of Zones A-F but not the
reliability needs of Zones G-J?
3. Whether sufficient transmission capability exists to allow at
least some capacity located in Zone K to reliably serve the needs of
loads in Zones G-J. If so, what limits, if any, should be placed on the
amount of capacity in Zone K that could be relied upon to serve the
needs of loads in Zones G-J? How should those limits be determined?
