6. Load Impact Protocol for Operational Planning Purposes

In their comments on the staff report on load impact issues, CAISO requested a further phase of this proceeding or additional work to complete load impact protocols for operational resource planning for their own use in scheduling the wholesale market. The Commission sees the benefit of adapting load impact protocols that would be useful for operational resource planning. Work to develop modifications to load impact protocols for this purpose will be explored in a future phase of this proceeding or a successor proceeding.
