AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSMISSION CONTROL AGREEMENT
Among
The California Independent System Operator Corporation
and
Transmission Owners
The Parties to this amended and restated Transmission Control Agreement
("Agreement") originally effective as of March 31, 1998, are
(1) The California Independent System Operator Corporation, a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation ("CAISO"),which expression includes its permitted
successors); and
(2) Entities owning or holding Entitlements to transmission lines and
associated facilities who subscribe to this Agreement ("Transmission Owners" or "TOs",
which expression includes their permitted successors and assigns).
This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts:
(i) The Legislature of the State of California enacted Assembly Bill 1890 ("AB
1890") that addressed the restructuring of the California electric industry in order to
increase competition in the provision of electricity.
(ii) AB 1890 provides the means for transforming the regulatory framework of
California's electric industry in ways to meet the objectives of the law.
(iii) In order to create a new market structure, AB 1890 establishes an
independent system operator with centralized control of a state-wide transmission grid
charged with ensuring the efficient use and reliable operation of the transmission
system.
(iv) AB 1890 states that it is the intention of the California Legislature that
California transmission owners commit control of their transmission facilities to the
CAISO with the assurances provided in the law that the financial interests of such TOs
will be protected.
(v) Each TO: (1) owns, operates, and maintains transmission lines and
associated facilities; and/or (2) has Entitlements to use certain transmission lines and
associated facilities, with responsibilities attached thereto.
(vi) Each TO, upon satisfying the criteria for becoming a Participating TO
under Section 2.2 of this Agreement, will transfer to the CAISO Operational Control of
certain transmission lines and associated facilities and/or Entitlements, which are to be
incorporated by the CAISO into the CAISO Controlled Grid for the purpose of allowing
them to be controlled as part of an integrated Balancing Authority Area.
(vii) Each Participating TO will continue to own and maintain its transmission
lines and associated facilities, if any, and will retain its Entitlements, if any, and
associated responsibilities.-
(viii) The CAISO intends to provide to each Participating TO access to the
CAISO Controlled Grid while exercising its Operational Control for the benefit of all
Market Participants by providing non-discriminatory transmission access, Congestion
Management, grid security, and Balancing Authority Area services.
(ix) Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E" ), San Diego Gas & Electric
Company ("SDG&E"), and Southern California Edison Company ("Edison") (each a
Participating TO) are entering into this agreement transferring Operational Control of
their transmission facilities in reliance upon California Public Utilities Code Sections
367, 368, 375, 376, and 379 enacted as part of AB 1890 which contain assurances and
schedules with respect to recovery of transition costs.
(x) The Parties desire to. enter into this Agreement in order to establish the
terms and conditions under which TOs will become Participating TOs and how the
CAISO and each Participating TO will discharge their respective duties and
responsibilities.
In consideration of the above and the covenants and mutual agreements set forth
herein, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

2.3.1 Municipal Tax Exempt TOs. In the event a Municipal Tax
Exempt TO executes this Agreement in reliance upon this Section 2.3, it shall provide
written notice thereof to the CAISO. Notwithstanding any other provision to.the contrary
herein, except for this Section 2.3, no other provisions of this Agreement shall become
effective with respect to a Municipal Tax Exempt TO until such Municipal Tax Exempt
TO's nationally recognized bond counsel renders an opinion, generally of the type
regarded as unqualified in the bond market, that participation in the CAISO Controlled
Grid in accordance with this Agreement will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status
of any Municipal Tax Exempt Debt issued by, or for the benefit of, the Municipal Tax
Exempt TO. A Municipal Tax Exempt TO shall promptly seek, in good faith, to obtain
such unqualified opinion from its bond counsel at the earliest opportunity. Upon receipt
of such unqualified opinion, a Municipal Tax Exempt TO shall provide a copy of the
opinion to the CAISO and all other provisions of this Agreement shall become effective
with respect to such Municipal Tax Exempt TO as of the date thereof. If the Municipal
Tax Exempt TO is unable to provide to. the CAISO such unqualified opinion within one
year of the execution of this Agreement by the Municipal Tax Exempt TO, without
further act, deed, or notice this Agreement shall be deemed to be void ab initio with
respect to such Municipal Tax Exempt TO.
2.3.2 Acceptable Encumbrances. A Transmission Owner that has
issued Local Furnishing Bonds may become a Participating TO under Section 2.2 even
though covenants or restrictions applicable to the Transmission Owner's Local
Furnishing Bonds require the CAISO's Operational Control to be exercised subject to

ability to meet its obligations under the CAISO Tariff or the Transmission Owner's ability
to comply with the TO Tariff.
2.3.3 Savings Clause. Nothing in this Agreement shall compel any
Participating TO or Municipal Tax Exempt TO which has issued Tax Exempt Debt to
violate restrictions applicable -to transmission facilities financed with Tax Exempt Debt or
contractual restrictions and covenants regarding use of transmission facilities.

3.4.9 Provision of Information by CAISO. To assist Tax Exempt
Participating TOs in identifying at the earliest opportunity Impending Adverse Tax
Actions or Actual Adverse Tax Actions, the CAISO promptly shall provide to
Participating TOs any non -confidential information regarding any CAISO plans, actions,
or operating protocols that the CAISO believes might adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of any Tax Exempt Debt issued by, or for the benefit of, a Tax Exempt
Participating TO.
3.4.10 Publication of Notices. The CAISO shall inform the public
through the CAISO Website of all notices received under this Section 3.4.
4. . TRANSFER OF OPERATIONAL CONTROL
4.1. TO Facilities and Rights Provided to the CAISO.
4.1.1 CAISO Controlled Grid. Subject to Section 4.1.2 and the
treatment of Existing Contracts under Section 16 of the CAISO Tariff and subject to the
applicable interconnection, integration, exchange, operating, joint ownership, and joint
participation agreements, each Participating TO shall place under the CAISO's
Operational Control the transmission lines and associated facilities forming part of the
transmission network that it owns or to which it has Entitlements, except that Western
shall only be required to place under the CAISO's Operational Control the transmission
lines and associated facilities that it owns or to which it has Entitlements as set forth in
Appendix A (Western). The Original Participating TOs identified in Section 2.1.1 shall
be deemed to have placed such transmission lines and associated facilities and
Entitlements under the CAISO's Operational Control as of the date the CPUC or its
delegate declares to be the start date for direct access pursuant to CPUC Decisions 97-
12-131 and 98-01-053. An applicant to become a Participating TO shall provide the
CAISO notice of the transmission lines and associated facilities that it owns or to which
it has Entitlements in its application pursuant to Section 2. An existing Participating TO
shall provide the CAISO notice of any new transmission lines, associated facilities, or
Entitlements that it proposes to make part of its transmission network and to turn over to
the CAISO's Operational Control either (i) through the transmission planning process
established pursuant to Sections 24 and 25 of the CAISO Tariff or (ii) by written notice
pursuant to this Agreement. Any transmission lines or associated facilities or
Entitlements that the CAISO determines not to be necessary to fulfill the CAISO's
responsibilities under the CAISO Tariff in accordance with Section 4.1.3 of this
Agreement shall not be treated as part of a Participating TO's network for the purposes
of this Section 4.1. The CAISO shall provide an applicant to become a Participating TO
notice of its determination not to accept a transmission line, associated facility, or
Entitlement as part of a Participating TO's network for the purposes of this Section 4.1
in conjunction with its acceptance or rejection of that application. The CAISO shall
provide an existing Participating TO notice of its determination whether or not to accept
a transmission line, associated facility, or Entitlement as part of a Participating TO's
network for the purposes of this Section 4.1 either (i) as part of the transmission
planning process established pursuant to Sections 24 and-25 of the CAISO Tariff or (ii)
by written notice in response to a written notice provided by the Participating TO. The
CAISO shall recognize the rights and obligations of Participating TOs that are owners of
or holders of Entitlements to jointly -owned facilities which are placed under the CAISO's
Operational Control by one or more but not all of the joint owners or rights holders. The
CAISO shall, in exercise of Operational Control transferred to it, ensure that the
operating obligations, as specified by the Participating TO pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of
this Agreement, for the contracts referenced in Appendix B are performed. Any other
terms of such contracts shall not be the responsibility of the CAISO. The following
transmission lines and associated facilities, and Entitlements thereto, are also deemed
not to form part of a Participating TO's transmission network:
i. directly assignable radial lines and associated facilities
interconnecting generation (other than those facilities which may be identified from time
to time interconnecting CAISO Controlled Grid Critical Protective Systems or
Generating Units of Generators contracted to provide Black Start or Voltage Support)
and
ii. lines and associated facilities classified as "local distribution"
facilities in accordance with FERC's applicable technical and functional test and other
facilities excluded consistent with FERC established criteria for determining facilities
subject to CAISO Operational Control.
4.1.2 Transfer of Facilities by Local Furnishing Participating TOs.
This Section 4.1.2 is applicable only to the enlargement of transmission capacity by
Local Furnishing Participating TOs. The CAISO shall not require a Local Furnishing
Participating TO to enlarge its transmission capacity except pursuant to an order under
Section 211 of the FPA directing the Local Furnishing Participating TO to enlarge its
transmission capacity as necessary to provide transmission service as determined
pursuant to Section 24.16 of the CAISO Tariff. If an application under Section 211 of
the FPA is filed by an eligible entity (or the CAISO acting as its agent), the. Local
Furnishing Participating TO shall thereafter, within 10 days of receiving a copy of the
Section 211 application, waive its right to a request for service under Section 213(a) of
the FPA and to the issuance of a proposed order under Section 212 c of the FPA.
Upon receipt of a final order from FERC under Section 211 of the FPA that is no longer
subject to rehearing or appeal, such Local Furnishing Participating TO shall enlarge its
transmission capacity to comply with that FERC order and shall transfer to the CAISO
Operational Control over its expanded transmission facilities in accordance with this
Section 4.
4.1.3 Refusal of Facilities. The CAISO may refuse to exercise
Operational Control over certain of an applicant's or a Participating TO's transmission
lines, associated facilities, or Entitlements over which the CAISO does not currently
exercise Operational Control if it determines. that any one or more of the following
conditions exist and it provides notice of its refusal in accordance with Section 4.1.1:
i. The transmission lines, associated facilities, or. Entitlements do
not meet or do not permit the CAISO to meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria and the
applicant or, Participating TO fails to give the CAISO a written undertaking to take all
good faith actions necessary to ensure that those transmission lines, facilities, or
Entitlements, as the case may be, meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria within a
reasonable period from the date of the applicant's application under Section 2.2 or the
Participating TO's notice to the CAISO of its intent to turn over Operational Control as
determined by the CAISO.
I
ii. The transmission lines, associated facilities, or Entitlements are
subject to Encumbrances that unduly impair the CAISO's ability to exercise its
j Operational Control over them in accordance with the CAISO Tariff and the applicant or
Participating TO fails to give the CAISO a written undertaking to negotiate in good faith
to the extent permitted by the applicable contract the removal of the Encumbrances
identified by the CAISO which preclude it from using unused capacity on the relevant
transmission lines. If the applicant or Participating TO provides such written
undertaking but is unable to negotiate the removal of such Encumbrances to the extent
required by the CAISO, the ADR Procedures shall be used to resolve any disputes
between the CAISO and the applicant or Participating TO. For this purpose, Non -
Participating TOs may utilize CAISO ADR Procedures on a voluntary basis.
The transmission lines, associated facilities, and Entitlements are
located in a Balancing Authority Area outside of California, are operated under the
direction of another Balancing Authority Area or independent system operator, and
cannot be integrated into the CAISO Controlled Grid due to technical considerations.
If the CAISO refuses to accept any of an applicant's transmission lines,
associated facilities, or Entitlements, then that applicant shall have the right to notify the
CAISO within a reasonable period from being notified of such refusal that it will not
proceed with its application under Section 2.2.
4.1.4 Facilities Initially Placed Under the CAISO's Operational
Control. The transmission lines, associated facilities, and Entitlements which each
Participating TO places under the CAISO's Operational Control on the date that this
Agreement takes effect with respect to it shall be identified in Appendix A.
4.1.5 Warranties. Each Participating TO warrants that as of the date
on which it becomes a Participating TO pursuant to Section 2.2.5:
i. the transmission lines and associated facilities that it is placing
under the CAISO's Operational Control and the Entitlements that it is making available
for the CAISO's use are correctly identified in Appendix A (as amended in accordance
with this Agreement); that the Participating TO has all of the necessary rights and
authority to place such transmission lines and associated facilities under the CAISO's
Operational Control subject to the terms and conditions of all agreements governing the
use of such transmission lines and associated facilities; and that the Participating TO
has the necessary rights and authority to transfer the use of such Entitlements to the
CAISO subject to the terms and conditions of all agreements governing the use of such
Entitlements;
ii. the transmission lines and associated facilities and Entitlements
that it is placing under the CAISO's Operational Control are not subject to any
Encumbrances except as disclosed in Appendix B (as amended in accordance with this
Agreement);
iii. the transmission lines and associated facilities that it is placing
under the CAISO's Operational Control meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria for the
relevant Participating TO except as disclosed in writing to the CAISO. As to the Local
Reliability Criteria component of the Applicable Reliability Criteria, each Participating TO
has provided the CAISO with such information required to identify such Participating
TO's Local Reliability Criteria.
4.2. The CAISO Register.
4.2.1 Register of Facilities Subject to CAISO Operational Control.
The CAISO shall maintain a register (the "CAISO Register") of all transmission lines,
associated facilities, and Entitlements that are for the time being subject to the CAISO's
Operational Control. The CAISO Register shall also indicate those facilities over which
the CAISO has asserted temporary control pursuant to Section 4.5.2 and whether or not
the CAISO has commenced proceedings under Section 203 of the FPA in relation to
them.
4.2.2 Contents. The CAISO Register shall disclose in relation to each
transmission line and associated facility subject to the CAISO's Operational Control
i. the identity of the Participating TO responsible for its operation
and maintenance and its owner(s) (if other than the Participating TO);
ii. the date on which the CAISO assumed Operational Control over it
and, in the case .of transmission lines and associated facilities over which it has
asserted temporary Operational Control, the date on which it relinquished Operational
Control over it;
iii. the date of any change in the identity of the Participating TO
responsible for its operation and maintenance or in the identity of its owner; and
iv. its applicable ratings.
4.2.3 Updates. In order to keep the CAISO Register current, each
Participating TO shall submit a CAISO Register change for each addition or removal of
a transmission line or associated facility or Entitlement from the CAISO's Operational
Control or any change in a transmission line or associated facility's ownership, rating, or
the identity of the responsible Participating TO. The CAISO shall review each CAISO
Register change for accuracy and to assure that all requirements of this. Agreement
have been met. If the CAISO determines that a submitted CAISO Register change is
accurate and meets all the requirements of this Agreement, the CAISO will modify the
CAISO Register to incorporate such change by the end of the next Business Day. The
CAISO may determine that a CAISO Register change cannot be implemented due to (a)
lack of clarity or necessary information, or (b) conflict between the revised rating and
applicable contractual, regulatory, or legal requirements, including operating
considerations, or otherconflict with the terms of this Agreement. In such event, the
CAISO promptly will communicate to the Participating TO the reason that the CAISO
cannot implement the CAISO Register change and will work with the Participating TO in
an attempt to resolve promptly the concerns leading to the CAISO's refusal to
implement a CAISO Register change. The CAISO consent required with respect to a
sale, assignment, release, transfer; or other disposition of transmission lines, associated
facilities, or Entitlements as provided in Section 4.4 hereof shall not be withheld by the
CAISO as a result of a CAISO determination that a CAISO Register change cannot be
implemented pursuant to this Section 4.2.3.

information for a given Participating TO available to that same Participating TO on a
secure CAISO-maintained portion of the CAISO Website. The CAISO will provide a
copy of the CAISO Register information to other entities that can demonstrate a
legitimate need for the information in accordance with screening procedures posted on
the CAISO Website and filed with FERC.
4.2.5 Duty to Maintain Records. The CAISO shall maintain the
CAISO Register in a form that conveniently shows the entities responsible for operating,
maintaining, and controlling the transmission lines and associated facilities forming part
of the CAISO Controlled Grid at any time and the periods during which they were so
responsible
4.3. Rights and Responsibilities of Participating TO&
Each Participating TO shall retain its benefits of ownership and its rights
and responsibilities in relation to the transmission lines and associated facilities and
Entitlements placed under the CAISO's Operational Control except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement. Participating TOs shall be responsible for operating and
maintaining those lines and facilities in accordance with this Agreement, the Applicable
Reliability Criteria,'the Operating Procedures, and other criteria, CAISO Protocols,
procedures, and directions of the CAISO issued or given in accordance with this
Agreement. Rights and responsibilities that have not been transferred to the CAISO as
operating obligations under Section 4.1.1 of this Agreement remain with the
Participating TO. This Agreement shall have no effect on the remedies for breach or
non-performance available to parties to existing interconnection, integration, exchange,
operating, joint ownership, and joint participation agreements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, the Parties recognize that a
Participating TO under this Agreement may have entered into a Reliability Standards
Agreement ("RSA"), or similar agreement, with the CAISO that allocates responsibility
and delegates tasks for compliance with NERC or WECC Reliability Standard
requirements, or how those requirements will be implemented. In the event that the
CAISO and a Participating TO have a dispute regarding a Participating TO's satisfaction
of or compliance with any obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement, and
either Party asserts that it has executed an RSA or similar agreement with the other
Party that sets forth inconsistent or conflicting obligations or responsibilities, then the
CAISO and that Participating TO shall engage in good faith negotiations to resolve the

associated facilities forming part of the CAISO Controlled Grid to an entity that is not a
Participating TO, the Participating TO shall require the transferee to assume in writing
all of the Participating TO's obligations under this Agreement (but without necessarily
requiring it to become a Participating TO for the purposes of the CAISO Tariff or a TO
Tariff).
4.4.1.3 Any subsequent sale or other disposition by a transferee referred
to in Section 4.4.1.2 shall be subject to this Section 4.4.1.
4.4.1.4 A transferee referred to in Section 4.4.1.2 that does not become a
Participating TO shall have the same rights and responsibilities regarding withdrawal
that a Participating TO has under Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.3.
4.4.2 Entitlements. No Participating TO shall sell, assign, release, or
transfer any Entitlements that have been placed under the CAISO's Operational Control

under this Agreement and who has not given .notice of its intention to withdraw from this
' Agreement.
4.4.3 Encumbrances. No Participating TO shall create any new
I
Encumbrance or (except as permitted by Section 16 of the CAISO Tariff) extend the
term of an existing Encumbrance over any lines or associated facilities or Entitlements
forming part of its transmission network (as determined in accordance with Section
4.1.1)without the CAISO's prior written consent. The CAISO shall give its consent to
the creation or extension of an Encumbrance within thirty (30) days after receiving a
written request for its consent disclosing in reasonable detail the nature of and reasons
for the proposed change unless the CAISO reasonably determines that the change is
inconsistent with the Participating TO's obligations under the CAISO Tariff or the TO
Tariff or that the change may materially impair the CAISO's ability to exercise
Operational Control over the relevant lines or facilities or Entitlements or may reduce
the reliability of the CAISO Controlled Grid. Exercise of rights under an Existing
Contract shall not be deemed to create a new Encumbrance for the purposes of this
Section 4.4.3.

no longer requires to exercise Operational Control over them in order to meet its
Balancing Authority Area responsibilities and they constitute:
i. directly assignable radial lines and associated facilities
interconnecting Generation (other than lines and facilities interconnecting CAISO
Controlled Grid Critical Protective Systems or Generators contracted to provide Black
Start or Voltage Support);
ii. dines and associated facilities which, by reason of changes in the
configuration of the CAISO Controlled Grid, should be classified as "local distribution"
facilities in accordance with FERC's applicable technical and functional test, or should
otherwise be excluded from the facilities subject to CAISO Operational Control
consistent with FERC established criteria; or

26.14 Consistency with Federal Laws and Regulations..
26.14.1 No Violation of Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall compel
any Party to: (1) violate any federal statute or regulation; or (2) in the case of a federal
agency, to exceed its statutory authority, as defined by any applicable federal statute, or
regulation or order lawfully promulgated thereunder. No Party shall incur any liability by
failing to comply with a provision of this Agreement that is inapplicable to it by reason of
being inconsistent with any federal statute, or regulation or order lawfully promulgated
thereunder; provided, however, that such Party shall use its best efforts to comply with
this Agreement to the extent that applicable federal laws, and regulations and orders
lawfully promulgated thereunder, permit it to do so.
If Western issues or revises any federal regulation or order with the intent
or effect of limiting, impairing, or excusing any obligation of Western under this
Agreement, then unless Western's action was expressly directed by Congress, any
Party, by giving thirty days' advance written notice to the other Parties, may require
Western to withdraw from this Agreement, notwithstanding any other notice period in
Section 3.3.1. If such notice is given, the CAISO and Western promptly shall meet to

concerning non -impairment of CAISO Operational Control responsibilities.
26.14.2 Federal Entity Indemnity. No provision of this Agreement shall
require any Participating TO to give an indemnity to Western or for Western to give an
indemnity to any Participating TO. If any provision of this Agreement requiring Western
to give an indemnity to the CAISO or the CAISO to impose a sanction on Western is
unenforceable against.a federal entity, the affected Party shall submit to the Secretary
of Energy or other appropriate Departmental Secretary a report of any circumstances
that would, but for this provision, have rendered a federal entity liable to indemnify any
person or incur a sanction and may request the Secretary of Energy or other
appropriate Departmental Secretary to take such steps as are necessary to give effect
to any provisions of this Agreement that are not enforceable against the federal entity.
26.14.3 Recovery for Unenforceable Indemnity. To the extent that a
Party suffers any loss as a result of being unable to enforce any indemnity as a result of
such enforcement being in violation of Section 26.14.2, it shall be entitled to seek
recovery of such loss through its TO Tariff or through the CAISO Tariff, as applicable.

Supplement To PG&E's Appendix A
Notices Pursuant to Section 4.1.5
Pursuant to the Transmission Control Agreement Section 4.1.5 (iii), the
transmission system' Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is placing under
the California Independent System Operator's Operational Control will meet the
Applicable Reliability Criteria in 1998,2 except (1) for the transmission facilities
comprising Path 15, which do not meet the Western Systems Coordinating
Council's (WSCC) Reliability Criteria for Transmission Planning with a
simultaneous outage of the Los Banos -Gates and Los Banos -Midway 500 kV
lines (for south -to -north power flow exceeding 2500 MW on Path 15),3 and (2)
with respect to potential problems identified in PG&E's annual assessment of its
reliability performance in accordance with Applicable Reliability Criteria,
performed with participation from the ISO and other stakeholders; as a result of
this process, PG&E has been developing solutions to mitigate the identified
potential problems and submitting them to the ISO for approval.
Including upgrades and operational plans for the transmission lines and associated facilities.
2 Based upon PG&E's substation and system load forecasts for study year 1998, historically typical
generation dispatch and the Applicable Reliability Criteria, including the current applicable WSCC
Reliability Criteria for Transmission Planning issued in March 1997, the PG&E Local Reliability as stated
in the 1997 PG&E Transmission Planning Handbook Criteria (submitted to the California ISO
Transmission Planning, in writing, on October 20, 1997), and the NERC Reliability Performance Criteria in
effect at the time PG&E was assessing its system (as of June 1, 1997). PG&E may not meet the WSCC's
Disturbance Performance level `D' (e.g. outage of three or more circuits on a right-of-way, an entire
substation or an entire generating plant including switchyard), where the risk of such an outage occurring is
considered very small and the costs of upgrades very high.
3 The ISO will operate Path 15 so as to maintain system reliability. In accepting this notice from PG&E,
the ISO agrees to work with PG&E and the WSCC to achieve a resolution respecting the WSCC long-term
path rating limit for Path 15, consistent with WSCC requirements. Pending any revision to the WSCC
.long-term path rating limit for Path 15, the ISO will continue to operate Path 15 at the existing WSCC
long-term path rating limit unless, in the judgment of the ISO:
(a) the operating limit must be reduced on a short-term (e.g., seasonal) basis to maintain system
reliability, taking into account factors such as the WSCC guidelines, determination of credible
outages and the Operating Capability Study Group (OCSG) study process; or
(b) the operating limit must be reduced on a real-time basis to maintain system reliability.
In determining whether the operating limit of Path 15 must be changed to maintain system reliability, the
ISO shall, to the extent possible, work with the WSCC and the PTOs to reach consensus as to any new
interim operating limit.
Pursuant to Section 4.1.5(i), PG&E does not believe that transfer of Operational
Control is inconsistent with any of its franchise or right of way agreements to the
extent that ISO Operational Control is implemented as part of PG&E utility
service pursuant to AB 1890. However, PG&E can't warrant that these right of
way or franchise agreements will provide necessary authority for ISO entry or
physical use of such rights apart from PG&E's rights pursuant to its physical
ownership and operation of transmission facilities.

Supplement to Edison Appendix A
Notices Pursuant to Section 4.1.5
Pursuant to the Transmission Control Agreement Section 4.1.5 (iii), Southern
California Edison Company (Edison) is providing notice its transmission system14
being placed under the California Independent System Operator's (ISO)
Operational Control will meet the Applicable Reliability Criteria in 1998'25 except
as noted in its bulk power program and described herein. Edison's transmission
system has been developed in accordance with NERC and WSCC's reliability
criteria. WSCC's.most recent Log of System Performance Recommendations,
dated April 15, 1997, does not show any instances where Edison's transmission
system does not meet NERC and WSCC reliability criteria, absent approved
exemptions.
Pursuant to Section 4.1.5 (i), Edison does not believe that transfer of Operational
Control is inconsistent with any of its franchise or right of way agreements to the
extent that ISO Operational Control is implemented as part of Edison's utility
service pursuant to AB 1890. However, Edison can't warrant that these right of
way or franchise agreements will provide necessary authority for ISO entry or
physical use of such rights apart from Edison's rights pursuant to its physical
ownership and operation of transmission facilities.
t Including upgrades and operational plans for the transmission lines and associated facilities.
2 Edison's most recent assessment is based on Edison's substation and system load forecasts for study year
1998 and criteria in effect as of September 1, 1997. Edison meets WSCC's reliability criteria except for
WSCC's Disturbance Performance level `D' (e.g. outage of three or more circuits on a right-of-way, an
entire substation or an entire generating plant including switchyard), where the risk of such an outage
occurring is considered very small and the costs of upgrades very high. Assessments of Edison's
transmission system using NERC Planning Standards and Guides, released September 16, 1997 will be
performed in accordance with the ISO's coordinated transmission planning process as provided for in the
ISO Tariff, Section 3.2.2. and under schedules adopted in that process.
Modification of Appendix Al
Diagrams of Transmission Lines and Associated
Facilities Placed Under the Operational Control of the CAISO
(submitted by the CAISO on behalf of San Diego Gas & Electric Company
Transmission Owner)
The diagrams of transmission lines and associated facilities placed under the
Operational Control of the CAISO submitted by the .CAISO on behalf of SDG&E
are amended as follows.
Item 1: Imperial Valley Switchyard 230kV Breakers Nos. 4132 and 5132
shown in the diagram as non-SDG&E facilities should be shown as SDG&E
owned. Furthermore, these breakers are being placed under the Operational
Control of the CAISO.

Supplement To SDG&E's Appendix A
Notices Pursuant to Section 4.1.5
Pursuant to the Transmission Control Agreement Section 4.1.5 (iii), the
transmission system6 of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is placing
under the California Independent System Operator's Operational Control meets
the Applicable Reliability Criteria, with the following exceptions: (1) SDG&E has
not yet re -assessed its system performance for any reliability criteria added or
modified by the new North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Planning
Standards and Guides, released in September, 1997; (2) SDG&E has also not
yet re -assessed its system performance for the revised simultaneous generator
outage criteria which was approved by the WSCC Board of Trustees on October
27, 1997.9
Pursuant to Section 4.1.5(i), SDG&E does not believe that transfer of Operational
Control is inconsistent with any of its franchise or right of way agreements to the
extent that ISO Operational Control is implemented as part of SDG&E utility
service pursuant to AB 1890. However, SDG&E cannot warrant that these right-
of-way or franchise agreements will provide necessary authority for ISO entry or
physical use of such rights apart from SDG&E's rights, pursuant to its physical
ownership and operation of transmission facilities.
6 Including upgrades and operational plans for the transmission lines and associated facilities.
7 Based upon studies with SDG&E's forecast peak 1998 system loads and the Applicable Reliability
Criteria, including the WSCC Reliability Criteria for Transmission Planning and WSCC Minimum
Operating Reliability Criteria dated March 1997, and the SDG&E Local Reliability Criteria as submitted to
the California ISO by letter dated December 15, 1997.
8 Assessments of SDG&E's transmission system using NERC Planning Standards and Guides, released
September 16, 1997 will be performed in accordance with the ISO's coordinated transmission planning
process as provided for in the ISO Tariff, Section 3.2.2 and under schedules adopted in that process.
9 The revised criteria will be cooperatively assessed by SDG&E and the ISO as soon as possible but not
later than May 1, 1998. SDG&E also may not meet the WSCC's Disturbance Performance level `D' (e.g.
outage of three or more circuits on a right-of-way, an entire substation or an entire generating plant
including switchyard), where the risk of such an outage occurring is considered very small and the costs of
upgrades very high.

Atlantic Path 15, LLC
Transmission Entitlements
Path 15 Proiect Facilities
Atlantic Path ,15, LLC is a participant in the Path 15 Upgrade Project, which will
consist of a new, single, 83-mile, 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and
associated substation facilities extending between the PG&E Los Banos
Substation in the California Central Valley (the northern terminus of the Project)
and the Gates Substation (the southern terminus of the Project), including
modifications at the substations to connect the line as well as reconfigurations to
the Gates — Midway 230-kV line and the 115 kV line north of Midway. Voltage
support facilities will also be added at the Los Banos and Gates Substations as
part of the Project. Atlantic Path 15, LLC will own Entitlements to certain
capacity on the Path 15 Project Facilities.
Atlantic Path 15, LLC will provide the funding for the development of the
Transmission Line and Land acquisition for the Path 15 Upgrade Project
(Project), as well as funding for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the
transmission line and will, as a result, be granted Entitlements to capacity on the
Path 15 Upgrade Project.
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement (LA) approved by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission and under the provisions of the Construction and
Coordination Agreement (CCA) entered into by the Path 15 Upgrade Project
participants, each participant will receive an allocation of Entitlement and the
associated Transmission System Rights in the Project proportional to each
party's contribution to the Project (save for a specified allocation to Western Area
Power Administration — Sierra Nevada Region ("WAPA-SNR") that shall be no
less than 10% of the Project). The initial allocation of Entitlements to Atlantic
Path 15, LLC is as follows:
Allocation 72%
Capacity 1,080 MW (Based on an estimate of 1,500
MW)
The LA and CCA further provide that a final allocation of Entitlements will be
determined based on the ratio of the contribution made by Atlantic Path 15, LLC
to the Project relative to the contributions of other Project participants. Each
Path 15 Upgrade Project participant will provide the Coordination Committee and
the other Parties with a final accounting of the Project Costs within 180 days after
the commencement of the commercial operations to determine the final
allocation of Entitlements pursuant to the provisions of the LA and Section 15.4
of the CCA. Atlantic Path 15, LLC shall also provide a copy of the final
accounting to the CAISO. The allocation of Entitlements set forth in this
Appendix A is a preliminary estimate of the Entitlements to be granted to Atlantic
path 15, LLC and will be amended following a final accounting for the Project, if
applicable.

Appendix A
Trans Bay Cable, LLC
Transmission Facilities and Entitlements
Trans Bay Cable Project Facilities
Trans Bay Cable LLC (TBC) will develop, finance and construct a high voltage,
direct current transmission line of approximately fifty-five miles in length and
associated facilities to establish a direct connection between Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's (PG&E's) Pittsburg Substation located at a site adjacent to
the City of Pittsburg, California in Contra Costa County to PG&E's Potrero
Substation within the City of San Francisco (the Project). The transmission line
will consist of an approximately 7,000-ton bundled cable consisting of a
transmission cable, a fiber optic communications cable and a metallic return.
The underwater portion of the transmission line will be laid by a ship or barge
with special equipment in a single trench underneath San Francisco Bay. The
remaining length of the transmission line (most likely a few hundred yards at
either end of the line) will be buried underground; either through directional
drilling or laid in a trench. In addition, the Project will involve the construction of
two converter stations near each of the PG&E Substations to convert the
alternating current received at the Pittsburg Substation to direct current and then
back to alternating current at the Potrero Substation.
In accordance with the TCA and the TO Tariff, TBC will transfer the Project to
CAISO Operational Control at the time the Project enters service.

Appendix A
Citizens Sunrise Transmission LLC
Transmission Entitlement
San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E") and Citizens Energy Corporation
("Citizens Energy") have agreed in their Development and Coordination
Agreement of May 9, 2009 ("DCA"), as amended December 21, 2011, that
Citizens Energy would have an opportunity to obtain an interest in the Sunrise
Powerlink Project ("Sunrise Powerlink"), currently being constructed and
developed by SDG&E. Specifically, Citizens Energy has an option to lease 50%
of the transfer capability of the 500 W segment of the Sunrise Powerlink located
in Imperial County, California for 30 years (the "Border -East Line"). To perfect its
interest, Citizens Energy is obligated, among other things, (1) to exercise its
option on or before the scheduled date of commercial operation of the Sunrise
Powerlink, (2) to pay SDG&E certain associated costs (one half of the actual cost
of construction and development of the Border -East Line), and (3) to assume all
operating costs related to its interest in the Border -East Line. Citizens Energy is
further obligated to turn over operational control of its interest in the Border -East
Line to the CAISO. Prior to exercising its option under the DCA, Citizens Energy
will finalize its rights set forth in a Transfer Capability Lease as provided for in the
DCA and will assign and transfer all of its rights and obligations thereunder, and
all of the regulatory approvals it has obtained to date, to Citizens Sunrise
Transmission LLC.

SDG&E APPENDIX B
SDG&E'S ENCUMBRANCES
I. Local Furnishing Transmission System Encumbrances
The CAISO shall exercise Operational Control over SDG&E's Local Furnishing
Transmission System consistent with the following Encumbrances in accordance
with the Local Furnishing Bonds Operating Procedures that SDG&E has provided
the CAISO:
A. Section 9600(a)(6) of the California Public Utilities Code provides
that Participating TOs shall not be compelled to violate restrictions
applicable to facilities financed with tax-exempt bonds or
contractual restrictions and covenants regarding use of
transmission facilities existing as of December 20, 1995.
SDG&E's transmission facilities and other electric properties are
financed in part with the proceeds of Local Furnishing Bonds. Prior
to December 20, 1995, pursuant to provisions of the loan
agreements, engineering certificates, and tax certificates and
agreements associated with outstanding Local Furnishing Bonds
issued for its benefit, SDG&E has covenanted not to take or permit
any action that would jeopardize the tax-exempt status of interest
on Local Furnishing Bonds issued for its benefit. Accordingly,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Agreement, including 'SDG&E's agreement to be bound by the
terms of the Restated and Amended CAISO Tariff and the Restated
and Amended TO Tariff, SDG&E may not take (nor may SDG&E
allow the CAISO to take) any action that would jeopardize the tax-
exempt status. of interest on Local Furnishing Bonds issued or to be
issued for its benefit, including (without limitation) the actions
specified below.
B. Absent an approving written opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel selected by SDG&E, taking into account the adjustments
outlined in paragraph C below, SDG&E will not operate its facilities
(or allow its facilities to be operated) so as to cause or permit a
cumulative annual net outbound flow of electric energy during any
calendar year from the points of interconnection between (i)
SDG&E's wholly -owned electric distribution facilities or SDG&E's
wholly -owned electric transmission facilities which are directly
connected to SDG&E's wholly -owned electric distribution facilities
(the "Local T/D System"), and (ii) other electric utility properties. As
of July 1, 2011, these interconnection points include:
1 the point at the International Border where SDG&E's
ownership interest in the 230 kV Miguel/Tijuana transmission
line interconnects with Comision Federal de Electridad's
ownership interest in the Miguel/Tijuana transmission line;
2. the set of points at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating
Station ("SONGS") switchyard bus where SDG&E's wholly -
owned transmission facilities interconnect with facilities
owned (in whole .or in part) by Southern California Edison
Company ("SCE");
3. the point where SDG&E's wholly -owned segment of the 500
kV Miguel/Imperial Valley transmission line interconnects
with the Imperial Valley Substation facilities which are
owned in part by Imperial Irrigation District (" IID");
4. the point at the San Diego/Imperial County border where
SDG&E's ownership interest in a 2.5 mile -long radial
distribution line intersects with IID's ownership interest in that
same distribution line;
5. the points at the Riverside/Orange County border and the
Riverside/San Diego County border where SDG&E's
ownership interest in several isolated distribution lines
interconnect with SCE's ownership interest in those same
distribution lines;
6. the point where SDG&E's wholly -owned Narrows Substation
interconnects with transmission facilities which are owned by
D.
C. For purposes of paragraph B, net flows of electric energy shall be
calculated after taking into account the following adjustments:
Treating as a deemed outbound flow (or as a reduction in
inbound flow) SDG&E's share as owner or lessee of electric
energy generated at SONGS and at other facilities which are
not connected directly to the Local T/D System
("Owned/Leased Remote SDG&E Generating Units").
i. as of July 1, 2011, SDG&E's 20% ownership interests in
SONGS Unit 1 and Unit 2 are the only Owned/Leased
Remote SDG&E Generating Units.
ii. in 2011, Owned/Leased Remote SDG&E Generating
Units are expected to include SDG&E's 480 MW interest
in the Desert Star Energy Center.
iii. in 2012, Owned/Leased Remote SDG&E Generating
Units are expected to include SDG&E's 189 MW interest
in the Rim Rock Project.
2. Excluding outbound flows (or reductions in inbound flows)
attributable to or caused by wheeling of electric energy
generated by independent power projects
i. which interconnect directly to the Local T/D System, and
ii. with bilateral contracts to sell the electric energy output at
wholesale to electric utilities other than SDG&E.`
3. Excluding outbound flows (or reductions in inbound flows)
attributable to or caused by wholesale sales of excess
electric energy from SDG&E's available generating units to
the extent generation of that electric energy is required
pursuant to federal or state regulations, rules, orders,
decisions or mandatory protocols, but only if the total amount
of electric energy supplied by SDG&E to its retail customers
who receive both electric energy delivery service and electric
energy supply service from SDG&E ("Native Load
Customers") during the calendar year equals or exceeds
i. the total amount of SDG&E's share of electric energy
generated during the calendar year by facilities which are
either owned, leased, or controlled by or for the benefit of
SDG&E, reduced by
ii. the sum of:
(a) assumed line losses, based on the most recent long-
term demand forecast adopted by the California
Energy Commission (as of December 16, 2010, 6.4%
of electric energy delivered to SDG&E's retail
customers);
(b) a pro rata share of electric energy actually produced
by SDG&E's available generating units and allocable
to CPUC-mandated reserves (15% as of July 1,
2011]);
(c) electric energy actually produced by SDG&E's
available generating units pursuant to least -cost, best -
fit orders of the CPUC and/or the CAISO; and
(d) electric energy actually produced by SDG&E's
available generating units which exceeds the
requirements of SDG&E's Native Load Customers
due to SDG&E's inability to reduce generation from
peak levels during off-peak periods.
D. SDG&E will not operate its facilities (or allow its facilities to be
operated) so as to curtail delivery of electric energy to its Native
Load Customers involuntarily in order to provide electric energy to
customers outside of its electric service territory in San Diego and
Orange Counties, unless such curtailment is necessitated by the
failure of facilities either partially or wholly owned by SDG&E.
E. Upon SDG&E's receipt of a written request from the CAISO to take
(or to refrain from taking) any action that SDG&E believes might
jeopardize the tax-exempt status of interest on Local Furnishing
Bonds issued for its benefit, SDG&E in good faith shall promptly
seek to obtain an opinion (of the type generally regarded in the
municipal bond market as unqualified) from a nationally recognized
bond counsel selected by SDG&E that the requested action (or
inaction) will not adversely affect such tax-exempt status.
Examples of actions the CAISO might request SDG&E to take (or
refrain from taking) might include
1. closing (or refraining from opening) switches to allow electric
energy to flow out of the Local T/D System,
2. closing (or refraining from opening) switches to allow electric
energy from local generating units to flow into the Local T/D
System,
3. acquiring or constructing new electric utility facilities or
improving existing electric utility facilities,
4. generating electric energy or refraining from generating
electric energy at resources which are directly or indirectly
under SDG&E's control, or
5. bringing transmission or generation facilities or resources
into service (or withholding transmission or generation
facilities or resources from service).
Until the opinion of bond counsel described above is obtained,
SDG&E shall not be required to take (or to refrain from taking) the
specified action, and the CAISO shall exercise its Operational
Control consistent with such limitation.
F. If SDG&E has been unable to obtain the unqualified opinion of
bond counsel described in paragraph E above, upon written
request by an entity eligible to file an application under Section 211
of the Federal Power Act ("FPA") (or the CAISO acting as its agent)
(collectively, the "Eligible Entity"), SDG&E in good faith shall
promptly seek to obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
that the requested action (or inaction) will not adversely affect the
tax-exempt status of interest on Local Furnishing Bonds issued for
the benefit of SDG&E. If such a ruling cannot be obtained, SDG&E
will not object to an Eligible Entity seeking an order under Section
211 of the FPA with respect to the requested action (or inaction).
Until such a ruling is obtained from the Internal Revenue Service,
SDG&E shall not be required to take (or to refrain from taking) the
specified action and the CAISO shall exercise its Operational
Control consistent with such limitation.
II. Mortgage Lien
The CAISO shall acknowledge the mortgage lien set forth below:
A. Thelienof the Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated July 1, 1940
between San Diego Gas & Electric Company and The Bank of
California, as trustee, as amended and supplemented and in effect
on the date hereof (the "SDG&E Mortgage"). The transfer of
Operational Control to the CAISO pursuant to this Agreement shall
in no event be deemed to be a lien or charge on the property
subject to the SDG&E Mortgage which would be prior to the lien of
the SDG&E Mortgage; however, no consent of the trustee under
the SDG&E Mortgage is required to consummate the transfer of
Operational Control to the CAISO pursuant to this Agreement.
III. SDG&E-Citizens Sunrise Transmission LLC Development and
Coordination Agreement/Transfer Capability Lease
A. San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E") and Citizens
Energy Corporation ("Citizens Energy") have agreed in their
Development and Coordination Agreement of May 9, 2009 ("DCA" ),
as amended. December 21, 2011, that Citizens Energy would have
an opportunity to obtain an interest in the Sunrise Powerlink Project
("Sunrise Powerlink"), currently being constructed and developed
by SDG&E. Specifically, Citizens Energy has an option to lease
50% of the transfer capability of the 500 kV segment of the Sunrise
Powerlink located in Imperial County, California.for 30 years (the
"Border -East Line"). To perfect its interest, Citizens Energy is
obligated, among other things, (1) to exercise its option on or
before the scheduled date of commercial operation of the Sunrise
Powerlink, (2) to pay SDG&E certain associated costs (one half of
the actual cost of construction and development of the Border -East
Line), and (3) to assume all operating costs related to its interest in
the Border -East Line. Citizens Energy is further obligated to turn
over operational control of its interest in the Border -East Line to the
CAISO. Prior to exercising its option under the DCA, Citizens
Energy will finalize its rights set forth in a Transfer Capability Lease
(collectively, the "Lease") as provided for in the DCA and will assign
and transfer all of its rights and obligations thereunder, and all of
the regulatory approvals it has obtained to date, to Citizens Sunrise
Transmission LLC.

I2. INTRODUCTION
This Appendix C delineates the CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards
and has been developed through a lengthy consensus building effort involving
initially the CAISO Maintenance Standards Task Force, and currently the TMCC.
Flexibility in establishing these CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards is
implicit in the goal of optimizing Maintenance across a system characterized by
diverse environmental and climatic conditions, terrain, equipment, and design
practices. To provide for flexibility while ensuring the reasonableness of each
PTO's approach to Maintenance, each PTO will prepare its own Maintenance
Practices that shall be consistent with the requirements of these CAISO
Transmission Maintenance Standards. The effectiveness of each PTO's
Maintenance Practices will be gauged through the Availability performance
monitoring system. Each PTO's adherence to its Maintenance Practices will be
assessed through a CAISO review.
In developing these CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards, both the
CAISO Maintenance Standards Task Force and TMCC determined that it is
impractical to develop and/or impose on the PTOs a single uniform set of
prescriptive practices delineating conditions or time -based schedules for various
Maintenance activities that account for the myriad of equipment, operating
conditions, and environmental conditions within the CAISO Controlled Grid. For
this reason, these CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards provide
requirements for the PTOs in preparing their respective Maintenance Practices.
2.1. OBJECTIVE
This Appendix C provides for a high quality, safe, and reliable CAISO Controlled
Grid by meeting the following objectives:
• Ensuring that the Availability performance levels inherent to the Transmission
Facilities are maintained,
• Restoring Availability to the levels inherent to the Transmission Facilities
when degradation has occurred,
• Economically extending the useful life of the Transmission. Facilities while
maintaining inherent levels of Availability, and
Achieving the aforementioned objectives at a minimum reasonable total cost
for Maintenance with the intent of minimizing customer impacts.
2.2. AVAILABILITY
CAISO Controlled Grid reliability is a function of a complex set of
variables, including accessibility of alternative paths to serve Load, Generating
Unit availability, Load forecasting and resource planning; speed, sophistication
and coordination of protection systems; and the Availability of Transmission Line
Circuits owned by the PTOs. Availability Measures have been chosen as the
principal determinant of each PTO's Maintenance effectiveness.
When using Availability Measures as a general gauge of Maintenance
effectiveness, several things must be considered to avoid misinterpreting
performance. Availability is a function of several variables, including
Transmission Facility Maintenance, initial design, extreme exposure, capital
improvements, and improvements in restoration practices. These factors should
be taken into account when assessing Availability Measures and Maintenance
effectiveness. It is important to consider that Maintenance is one of many
variables that impact changes in Availability. For example, certain Forced
Outages(IMS) that impact Availability may be due to events that generally cannot
be controlled by Maintenance.
If Availability Measures are either improving or declining, it is important to
investigate the cause(s) and any trends that are causing change before drawing
conclusions. If Maintenance is being performed by a PTO consistent with Good
Utility Practice, increasing Maintenance activities by a significant order may not
result in a corresponding increase in Availability and if Maintenance is not
performed consistent with Good Utility Practice, Availability may decline. Thus,
while Maintenance is important to ensure Availability, unless a PTO fails to
perform Maintenance on a basis consistent with Good Utility Practice, significant
increases in Maintenance activities will generally not lead to substantial
improvements in Availability and associated CAISO Controlled Grid reliability.
A variety of techniques can be used to monitor Maintenance effectiveness.
However, techniques that do not account for random variations in processes
have severe limitations in that they may yield inconsistent and/or erroneous
assessments of Maintenance effectiveness. To account for random/chance
variations while enabling monitoring for shifts and trends, control charts have
been widely accepted and utilized. Control charts are statistically based graphs
which illustrate both an expected range of performance for a particular process
based on historical data, and discrete measures of recent performance. The
relative positions of these discrete measures of recent performance and their
relationship to the expected range of performance are used to gauge
Maintenance effectiveness.
To enhance the use of Availability Measures as a gauge of Maintenance
effectiveness, it is necessary to exclude certain types of Outages('Ms)These
excluded Outages(IMs�, as set forth in more detail in Section 4.1.3 of this
Appendix C, are:
• Scheduled Outages(Ims),
• Outages(IMs) classified as "Not a Forced Outage" in the Maintenance
Procedures;
• Forced Outages(IMs) caused by events originating outside the PTO's system;
or
z
• Forced Outages(lms) demonstrated to have been caused by earthquakes.
Additionally, as described in Section 4.1.2 of this Appendix C, the Forced
Outage(lms) duration used to calculate the Availability control charts has been
capped at 72 hours so that excessively long Forced Outages(lms) do not skew the
data as to detract from the meaningfulness and interpretation of the control
charts for accumulated Forced Outage('Ms) duration. This is not to say that an
excessively long Forced Outage(lms) is not a concern. Rather, such Forced
Outages(IMs) should be investigated to assess the reasons for their extended
duration.
Establishing Availability Measures requires each PTO to use separate
control charts for each Voltage Class. Existing Forced Outage(lms) data contains
significant differences in the Availability between Voltage Classes and between
PTOs. These differences may be attributable to factors such as the uniqueness
of operating environments, Transmission Facility designs, and PTO operating
policies. Regardless of the cause of these differences, review of the Forced
Outage(lms) data makes it eminently apparent that differences are such that no
single set of control chart parameters for a particular Voltage Class could be
applied to all PTOs.
Three types of control charts are utilized to provide a complete
representation of historical Availability Measures, and to provide a benchmark
against which future Availability Measures can be gauged. The three types of
control charts for each PTO and Voltage Class are:
• The annual average Forced Outage(lms) frequency for all Transmission Line
Circuits;
• The annual average accumulated Forced Outage('ms) duration for those
Transmission Line Circuits which experience Forced Outages(IMs); and
• The annual proportion of Transmission Line Circuits that experienced no
Forced Outages(IMs)
These three control charts assist the CAISO and PTOs in assessing the
Maintenance effectiveness of each Voltage Class over time. To accommodate
this process on a cumulative basis, data is made available to the CAISO by each
PTO at the beginning of each new calendar year to assess past calendar years.
2.3. MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Two specific requirements regarding Maintenance documentation are
incorporated into these CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards. First,
these standards require that each PTO develop and submit a description of its
Maintenance Practices to the CAISO. Second, these standards require that each
PTO retain Maintenance records as set forth in Section 6.1 of this Appendix C
and make those records available to the CAISO as set forth in the Maintenance
Procedures, in order to demonstrate compliance with each element of its
Maintenance Practices.
2.4. AVAILABILITY DATA STANDARDS
To facilitate processing Forced Outage('ms) data for the Availability Measures, and
to enable consistent and equitable interpretation of PTO Maintenance records by
the CAISO, these standards address the need for data recording and reporting.
The TMCC has also developed standardized formats for transmitting Forced
Outage('ms) data to the CAISO for the Availability Measures. These standard
formats are provided in the Maintenance Procedures. To facilitate review of the
data by the CAISO, the TMCC has developed a standard Availability Measures
reporting system detailed in the Maintenance Procedures and in Section 4 of this
Appendix C. This system will provide for consistent gathering of information that
can be used as the basis for analyzing Availability Measures trends.
3. FACILITIES COVERED BY THESE CAISO TRANSMISSION
MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
The CAISO Transmission Maintenance Standards set forth in this Appendix C
shall apply to all Transmission Facilities. Each PTO shall maintain its
Transmission Facilities in accordance with its Maintenance Practices as adopted
by the CAISO in accordance with these CAISO Transmission Maintenance
Standards.
4. AVAILABILITY MEASURES
4.1. CALCULATION OF AVAILABILITY MEASURES FOR
INDIVIDUAL TRANSMISSION LINE CIRCUITS
4.1.1 FREQUENCY AND DURATION
The calculation of the Availability Measures will be performed utilizing Forced
Outage(lms) data through December 31 st of each calendar year. Separate Forced
Outage(lms) frequency and accumulated Forced Outage(lms) duration Availability
Measures. shall be calculated as follows for each Transmission Line Circuit under
CAISO Operational Control within each Voltage Class. The calculations shall be
performed annually for each of the Transmission Line Circuits utilizing all
appropriate Forced Outage(lms) data for the calendar year in question.
Forced Outage(lms) Frequency:
The Forced Outage('ms) frequency (fk) of the it" Transmission Line Circuit shall
equal the total number of Forced Outages(lms) that occurred on the itn
Transmission Line Circuit during the calendar year "k". See Notes 1 and 2.
NOTES:
1. Multiple momentary Forced Outages(IMS) on the same Transmission Line Circuit in the span of
a single minute shall be treated as a single Forced Outage(IMS) with a duration of one minute.
When the operation of a Transmission Line Circuit is restored following a Forced Outage(IMS)
and the Transmission Line Circuit remains operational for a period exceeding one minute,
i.e., 61 seconds or more, followed by another Forced Outage(lmS) then these should be
counted as two Forced Outages"'). Multiple Forced Outages(lmA ) occurring as a result of a
single event should be handled as multiple Forced Outages(1°"s) only if subsequent operation
of the Transmission Line Circuit between events exceeds one minute. Otherwise they shall
be considered one continuous Forced Outage(IMS)
2. If a Transmission Line Circuit, e.g., a new Transmission Line Circuit, is only in service for a
portion of a calendar year, the Forced Outage(lms) frequency and accumulated duration data
shall be treated as if the Transmission Line Circuit had been in service for the entire calendar
year, i.e., the Forced Outage('ms) data for that Transmission Line Circuit shall be handled the
same as those for any other Transmission Line Circuit.
Accumulated Forced Outage(lms) Duration:
The accumulated Forced Outage(lms) duration in minutes shall be calculated as
follows for each of the Transmission Line Circuits having a Forced Outage(IMs)
frequency (fk) greater than zero for the calendar year "k":
fik
ok
=1
where
d;k = accumulated duration of Forced Outages(IMs) (total number of
Forced Outage(IMs) minutes) for the ,ith" Transmission Line Circuit
having a Forced Outage('Ms) frequency (fk) greater than zero for the
calendar year "k".
fk Forced Outage(lms) frequency as defined above for calendar year
ojk = duration in minutes of the ,jth" Forced Outage(lms) which occurred
during the "kth" calendar year for the ,ith" Transmission Line Circuit.
See Notes 1 and 2.
The durations of extended Forced Outages(IMS) shall be capped as described in
Section 4.1.2 of this Appendix C for the purposes of calculating the Availability
Measures. In addition, certain types of Outages(IMs) shall be excluded from the
calculations of the Availability Measures as described in Section 4.1.3 of this
Appendix C.
.If a PTO makes changes to its Transmission Line Circuit identification,
configuration, or Forced Outage(lms) data reporting schemes, the PTO shall notify
the CAISO at the time of the change. In its annual report to the CAISO, the PTO
shall provide recommendations regarding if and how the Availability Measures
and Availability Measure Targets should be modified to ensure that they (1)
remain consistent with the modified Transmission Line Circuit identification or
Forced Outage(lms) data reporting scheme, and (2) provide an appropriate gauge
of Availability.
4.1.2. CAPPING FORCED OUTAGE('M8) DURATIONS
The duration of each Forced Outage(IMs)which exceeds 72 hours (4320 minutes)
shall be capped at 4320 minutes for the purpose of calculating the accumulated
Forced Outage('Ms) duration.
4.1.3. EXCLUDED OUTAGES (mns)
The following types of Outages(IMs) shall be excluded from the calculation of the
Availability Measures and the Availability Measure Targets:
• Scheduled Outages(IMs)
• Outages(I Ms) classified as "Not a Forced Outage" in the Maintenance
Procedures.
• Forced Outages(IMS) which: (1) were caused by events outside the PTO's
system including Outages(IMs) which originate in other TO systems, other
electric utility systems, or customer equipment, or (2) are Outages(IMs)which
can be demonstrated to have been caused by earthquakes.
4.2. AVAILABILITY MEASURE TARGETS
The Availability Measure Targets described herein shall be phased in over a
period of five calendar years beginning on the date a Transmission Owner
becomes a PTO in accordance with the provisions of the Transmission Control
Agreement. The adequacy of each PTO's Availability Measures shall be
monitored through the use of charts. These charts, called control charts as
shown in Figure 4.2.1, are defined by a horizontal axis with a scale of calendar
years and a vertical axis with a scale describing the expected range of
magnitudes of the index in question. Annual performance indices shall be plotted
on these charts and a series of tests may then be performed to assess the
stability of annual performance, shifts in performance and longer -term
performance trends.
Control charts for each of the following indices shall be developed and utilized
to monitor Availability Measures for each Voltage Class within each PTO's
system:

(UWL and LWL, respectively). The CL represents the average annual historical
performance fora period prior to the current calendar year. The UCL and LCL
define a range of expected performance extending above and below the CL. For
the annual proportion of Transmission Line Circuits with no Forced Outages(I""s)
the limits are based on standard control chart techniques for binomial proportion
data. For the other two indices, bootstrap resampling techniques are used to
determine empirical UCL and LCL at 99.75% and 0.25% percentile values,
respectively, for means from the historical data. The bootstrap procedure is
described in Section 4.2.2 of this Appendix C. Similarly, the UWL and LWL
define a range of performance intending to cover the percentiles from 2.5% to
97.5%. The bootstrap algorithm is also used to determine these values. Thus,
the UCL and LCL will contain about 99.5% of resampling means from the Voltage
Class of interest. UWL and LWL will contain about 95% of the resampling
means. These limits coincide with the usual choices for control charts when the
means are approximately normal. Bootstrap estimation procedures are used
here since the sampling means do not follow the normal distribution model. The
bootstrap estimation procedures ensure consistent control chart limits.by using a
starting base number ("seed") for its random number generator. Accuracy or
reduced variances in the control chart limits are attained by using the average
control chart limits generated from applying ten repetitions or cycles of the
bootstrap sampling method. Collectively, the CL, UCL, LCL, UWL and LWL
provide reference values for use in evaluating performance as described in
Section 4.2.3 of this Appendix C.
For the special case where there is a Voltage Class with only one
Transmission Line Circuit, individual and moving range control charts should be
used for Index 1 and 2. The method used herein for calculating Index 3 is not
applicable for those Voltage Classes containing less than six Transmission Line
Circuits. The Maintenance Procedures will be used by the PTOs to calculate
Index 1, 2, or 3 where the methods provided herein do not apply. More
information on the individual and moving range control charts can be found in the
user manuals of the statistical software recommended by the TMCC and
approved by the CAISO Governing Board for use in creating the control charts.
4.2.1. CALCULATIONS OF ANNUAL AVAILABILITY
MEASURES INDICES FOR INDIVIDUAL VOLTAGE CLASSES
Separate annual Availability Measures indices shall be calculated for each
Voltage Class and each PTO as described below by utilizing the calculations
discussed in Section 4.1 of this Appendix C.

of this Appendix C.
4.2.2. DEVELOPMENT OF LIMITS FOR CONTROL CHARTS
The CL, UCL, LCL, UWL and LWL for the three control charts (Annual
Average Forced Outage(lms) Frequency for All Transmission Line Circuits; Annual
Average Accumulated Forced Outage"s) Duration for those Transmission Line
Circuits with Forced Outages(I"°s); and Annual Proportion of Transmission Line
Circuits with No Forced Outages"s)) on which the annual Availability Measures
indices are to be plotted shall be calculated as described below. The CL, UCL,
LCL, UWL and LWL for each of the three control charts shall be determined
using continuously recorded Forced Outage"s) data for the ten calendar year
period immediately preceding the date a. Transmission Owner becomes a PTO in
accordance with the provisions of the Transmission Control Agreement.
In the event that a PTO does not have reliable, continuously recorded
Forced Outage('Ms) data for this 10 calendar year period, that PTO may determine
the control chart limits using data for a shorter period. However, if data for a
shorter period are to be used, that PTO shall prepare a brief report to the CAISO
providing reasonable justification for this modification. This report shall be
submitted to the CAISO within 90 days after the date a TO becomes a PTO in
accordance with the provisions of the Transmission Control Agreement.
The CAISO shall periodically review the control chart limits and,
recommend appropriate modifications to each PTO in accordance with this
Appendix C.
4.2.2.1. CENTER CONTROL LINES (CLs)
The calculation of the CLs for each of the three control charts is similar to
l the calculation of the annual Availability Measures indices described in Section
I 4.2.1 of this Appendix C except that the time period is expanded from a single
calendar year to ten calendar years, unless a shorter period is justified by a PTO,

4.2.2.2. UCLs, LCLs, UWLs AND LWLs
UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 1 and 2 for Voltage Classes
Containinq Four or More Transmission Line Circuits with Forced
Outages for Five or More Calendar Years
The UCLs, UWLs, LWLs, and LCLs for the control charts for each
Voltage Class containing four or more Transmission Line Circuits with Forced
Outages(IMs) shall be determined by bootstrap resampling methods as follows:
The available historical data for Index 1 and 2 will each be entered into columns.
A "seed" is then selected prior to beginning the sampling process. The CAISO
assigns a number for the "seed prior to each calendar year's development of the
control charts. The "seed", allows the user to start the sampling in the same
place and get the same results provided the data order hasn't changed. For
Index 1, sampling with replacement will occur for the median number of
Transmission Line Circuits per calendar year in a Voltage Class for the time
period being evaluated. A sample, the size of which is the median number of all
Transmission Line Circuits for the period being evaluated, is taken from the
column of actual frequency values for all Transmission Line Circuits. A mean is
calculated from this sample and the resulting number will be stored in a separate
column. This process will be repeated 10,000 times in order to create a column
of sampling means from the historical database. The column of sampling means
is then ordered from the smallest to largest means. From this column percentiles
are determined for a UCL (99.75), a LCL (0.25), a UWL (97.5), and a LWL (2.5).
Thus, for one cycle, the limits are determined by resampling from the historical
database, calculating statistics of interest, in this case means, and then
estimating appropriate limits from the resampling means. Ten cycles of this
same process are necessary to get ten values each of UCLs, LCLs, UWLs, and
LWLs. The average for the ten values of each limit is taken to provide the UCL,
LCL, UWL, and LWL values used in analyzing annual performance. The
procedure is repeated for Index 2, forming means for the median number of
Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages("') in this Voltage Class for the
time period being evaluated. See Bootstrapping - A Nonparametric Approach
to Statistical Inference (1993) by Christopher Z. Mooney and Robert D. Duval,
Sage Publications with ISBN 0-8039-5381-X, and An Introduction to the
Bootstrap (1993) by Bradley Efron and Robert J. Tibshirani, Chapman and Hall
Publishing with ISBN 0-412-04231-2 for further information.
Consider an example to illustrate how the bootstrap procedure works
for one cycle of the ten required. Assume that a Voltage Class has
approximately 20 Transmission Line Circuits per calendar year with a history of
ten calendar years. Furthermore, assume that about 15 Transmission Line
Circuits per calendar year experience Forced Outages(lms)Therefore, there are
10 x 15 = 150 Forced Outage(lms) durations available for bootstrap sampling.
Place these 1.50 Forced Outage(lms) durations in a column, say "outdur," in a
specified order. The order is automatically provided in the bootstrap algorithm
developed by the CAISO and made available to the PTO. The bootstrap
algorithm will sample 15 rows from "outdur" with replacement. That is, any row
may, by chance, be sampled more than once. From these 15 values determine
the sample mean and place this in another column, say "boot". Repeat this
sampling process 10,000 times adding the new means to "boot". The column
"boot" now has 10,000 means from samples of size 15 from the original Forced
Outage(lms) duration data for this Voltage Class. The next step is to locate the
appropriate percentiles from these means for use in determining the control chart
limits for one cycle. This is accomplished by ordering the column "boot" from
smallest -to -largest mean and restoring these ordered means in "boot The
percentiles which are needed are 99.75% (UCL), 97.50% (UWL), 2.50% (LWL)
and 0.25% (LCL). These are easily estimated from the sorted means by finding
the associated rows in the column "boot". For example, LWL will be estimated as
the average of the 250th and 251 st rows in column "boot". Likewise the other
limits will be determined. Of course, the CL is the actual mean average for 15
Transmission Line Circuits over the ten calendar years using the formulas in
Section 4.2.2.1 of this Appendix C. This example is for one cycle. Nine more
cycles of this process will establish the more accurate control and warning limits
necessary to evaluate a PTO's annual performance.
UCLs, LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 1 and 2 for All Other Voltage
Classes
When data for less than four Transmission Line Circuits with Forced
Outages(IMS) are available per calendar year in a Voltage Class for fewer than five
calendar years, an exhaustive enumeration of all possible selections with
replacement may need to be performed. This is because the number of possible
samples for bootstrap resampling will be less than the aforementioned 10,000
resampling frequency used for Voltage Classes containing four or more
Transmission Line Circuits with Forced Outages(lms)for five or more calendar
years. For example, if a Voltage Class has only two Transmission Line Circuits
per calendar year for five calendar years, the data base will consist of 2*5 = 10
accumulated Forced Outage(lms) durations assuming both Transmission Line
Circuits experience one Forced Outage(IMs) or more per calendar year.
Resampling two values from the column of ten yields only 10**2 = 100 possible
means. Thus, bootstrap resampling of 10,000 would over -sample the original
data 10,000/100 = 100 times.
For the general case, let M = the number of accumulated Forced
Outage('Ms) durations (or Forced Outage(lms) frequencies) from the historical
database. If n is the median number of Transmission Line Circuits per calendar
year, there are M**n = U possible enumerated means for this Voltage Class. The
procedure to determine the appropriate limits for a Voltage Class is to order the
column containing "U" enumerated means from smallest to largest means. Then,
the UCL, LCL, UWL, and LWL are determined from this vector as described
above (i.e., at the 99.75, 0.25, 97.5, and 2.5 percentiles, respectively).
UCLs, LCLs UWLs and LWLs for Index 3 When Number of
Transmission Line Circuits is > 125
According to standard procedures for proportion control charts for Voltage
Classes where the median number of Transmission Line Circuits in service is
greater than 125 for any given calendar year, the upper and lower control chart
limits (UCL, LCL, UWL, and LWL) for the "kt"" calendar year are determined
using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. The formulas are:
UCL = CLP„c + 3SPvc,k ' LCL = CLP„c - 3SP„c,k
UWL and LWL are calculated by replacing the "Y above with "2".
and
SP„,k VCL,�,,(1—CLp„,)/1Vk
where
SPvgk = standard deviation for the annual proportion of Transmission
Line Circuits in the Voltage Class with no Forced Outages(IMs) for each
4'k thij year of the "Y" calendar years prior to the date a TO becomes a
PTO. If.LCL or LWL is less than zero, they should be set to zero by
default.
UCLs. LCLs, UWLs and LWLs for Index 3 when. Number of
Transmission Line Circuits is less than or equal to 125 and greater than or
equal to six
The UCLs, LCLs, UWLs, and LWLs for the control charts for each Voltage
Class shall be based on exact binomial probabilities for those Voltage Classes
having equal to or more than six, but less than or equal to 125 median
Transmission Line Circuits per calendar year. A customized macro and a
statistical software package approved by the CAISO creates the proportion
control charts. The macro determines the control limits and use of the exact
binomial or the normal approximation to the binomial ,for computing the control
chart limits. This macro ensures the UCL and LCL contain about 99.5% and the
UWL and LWL contain about 95% of the binomial distribution. The percentile
values of the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL are respectively 99.75%, 97.5%, 2.5%,
and 0.25%.
The UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL are calculated using the following
formulas:
UCL = (XI+ (P2 - PI)/(P3 - Pi) )/ n
UWL-2 (Xl+ (P2 - Pl)/(P3 - Pl) )/ n
LWL = (X1+ (P2 - Pl)/(P3 - Pl) )/ n
LCL 0 (Xl+ (P2 - Pl)/(P3 - Pi) )/ n
Where
Pj = A cumulative binomial probability that if not equal to the P2 value
is representing the percentile value that is less than and closest to
the 99.75, 97.50, 2.5, and 0.25 percentile values used respectively in
the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas (e.g., if P, = 0.99529 and is
closest to the 99.75 percentile value; from the low side, P, = 0.99529
should be used in the UCL formula).
P2 = A cumulative binomial probability equal to the 0.9975, 0.9750,
0.025, and 0.0025 values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL,
and LCL above formulas (e.g., P2 = 0.9975 in the UCL formula and =
0.025 in the LWL formula).
P3 = A cumulative binomial probability that if not equal to the P2 value
is representing the percentile value that is greater than and closest to
the 99.75, 97.50, 2.5, and 0.25 percentile values used respectively in
the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas (e.g., if P3 = 0.99796 and is'
closest to the 99.75 percentile value, from the high side, then P3 =
0.99796 should be used in the UCL formula).
X, = The number of Transmission Line Circuits with no Forced
Outages(IMS) associated with the P, cumulative binomial probability
values used respectively in the UCL, UWL, LWL, and LCL formulas
(e.g., if P, = 0.99529 and represents the closest percentile from
below the 99.75 percentile for the case where 19 Transmission Line
Circuits had no Forced Outages('Ms), then X, = 19 should be used in
the UCL formula).
n = The median .number of Transmission Line Circuits that are in
service in a given calendar year. This number remains the same in
each of the UCL, UWL LWL, and LCL formulas.
4.2.3. EVALUATION OF AVAILABILITY MEASURES
PERFORMANCE
The control charts shall be reviewed annually by the CAISO and PTOs in
order to evaluate Availability Measures performance. The annual evaluation
shall consist of an examination of each of the control charts to determine if one or
more of the following four tests indicate a change in performance. The four tests
have been selected to enable identification of exceptional performance in an
individual calendar year, shifts.in longer -term performance, and trends in longer -
term performance.
Tests
• Test 1: The index value for the current calendar year falls outside the UCL
or LCL.
• Test 2 At least v1 consecutive annual index values fall above the CL or v2
consecutive annual index values fall below the CL. The actual values of v1
and v2 will be output from the bootstrap resampling procedures. The choices
for v1 and v2 are designed to keep the probability of these events less than
one percent.
Table 1. Values of v1 and v2 for Percentiles of the CL in Specified
Ranges
Percentile v1 v2
35 - 39 10 5
40 10 6
41 - 43 9 6
44 - 46 8 6
47 - 48 8 7
49 - 51 7 7
52-53 7 8
54 - 56 6 8
57 - 59 6 9
60 6 10
61 65 5 10
Thus, for example, if for a particular Voltage Class the percentile of
the historical CL is 55%, this Table indicates that the CL is located at the
55 percentile of all bootstrap means in the "boot" column. From Table 1,
v1=6, and v2=8.
• Test 3: At least two out of three consecutive annual index values fall
outside the UWL or LWL on the same side of the CL.
• Test 4: Six or more values are consecutively increasing or consecutively
decreasing.
Therefore, Test 1 is designed to detect a short-term change or jump in the
average level. Tests 2 and 4 are looking for long-term changes. Test 2 will
detect a shift.up in averages or a shift to a lower level. Test 4 is designed to
detect either a trend of continuous increase in the average values or continuous
decrease. Test 3 is designed to assess changes in performance during an
intermediate period of three calendar years. If Test 3 is satisfied, the evidence is
of a decline (or increase) in Availability over a three calendar year period.
Together the four tests allow the CAISO to monitor the Availability performance
of a Voltage Class for a PTO.
If none of these tests indicate that a change has occurred, performance shall be
considered to be stable and consistent with past performance. If one or more of
these tests indicates a change then Availability performance shall be considered
as having improved or degraded relative to the performance defined by the
control chart. Table 4.2.1 provides a summary of the performance indications
provided by the tests. The control chart limits may be updated annually if the last
calendar year's Availability performance indices did not trigger any of the four
tests. If none of the four tests are triggered, the new limits will be constructed
including the last calendar year's data.
The control chart limits may be modified each year to reflect the number of
Transmission Line Circuits in service during that calendar year if _necessary.
However, it is suggested that unless the number of Transmission Line Circuits
changes by more than 30% from the previous calendar year, the use of the
median number of Transmission Line Circuits should continue.- Consider an
example; suppose after the control chart has been prepared for a Voltage Class,
next calendar year's data arrives with the number of Transmission Line Circuits
30% higher than the median used in the past. New limits will be generated in
order to assess the Availability performance for that calendar year.
For the special case where only one Transmission Line Circuit has a Forced
Outage(lms) in a Voltage Class during a calendar year, the assessment process
for Index 2 is as follows; if Index 2 for this Transmission Line Circuit does not
trigger any of the four tests, no further action is necessary. If, however, one or
j more of the tests are triggered, then limits for this Transmission Line Circuit for
that calendar year should be. recalculated based on the historical data for this
1
Transmission Line Circuit alone using an individual and moving range control
chart. The only test warranted here is Test 1. More information on the individual
and moving range control charts can be found in the user manuals of the
statistical software used in creating the control charts.

Each PTO shall have in place Maintenance Practices that have been adopted by
the CAISO as set forth in this Appendix C. The CAISO shall periodically review
each PTO's Maintenance Practices having regard to these CAISO Transmission
Maintenance Standards and Maintenance Procedures. Following such a review,
the CAISO may recommend an amendment to any PTO's Maintenance Practices
by means of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the
Transmission Control Agreement. The PTO may draft amended language in
response to the CAISO's recommendation. If the PTO exercises its option to
draft amended language to the CAISO's proposed amendment, the PTO shall so
notify the CAISO within 30 days after the receipt of notice from the CAISO. The
PTO will provide the CAISO with its proposed amendment language in a time
frame mutually agreed upon between the PTO and the CAISO. If, after the
CAISO receives the proposed amendment language from the PTO, the CAISO

Appendix C, that PTO shall have 30 Business Days to provide a notice to the
CAISO, pursuant to Section 26.1 of the Transmission Control Agreement, stating
that it does not agree with the recommended amendment or that it intends to
draft the language implementing the amendment, as set forth in Section 5.3.2.1
of this Appendix C. If the PTO does not provide such a notice, the amendment
recommended by the CAISO shall be deemed adopted.
If a PTO makes a recommendation to amend its own Maintenance Practices, as
contemplated in Section 5.3.2.2 of this Appendix C, the CAISO shall have 30
Business Days to provide a notice to that PTO, pursuant to Section 26.1 of the
Transmission Control Agreement, that it does not concur with the recommended
amendment. If the CAISO does not provide such a notice, then the
recommended amendment shall be deemed adopted. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an amendment proposed by a PTO to its own Maintenance
Practices meets the objectives of Section 2.1 of this Appendix C and is submitted
in accordance with the requirements in Section 5.2 of this Appendix C, the
CAISO shall adopt said amendment.
If any amendment to a PTO's Maintenance Practices is adopted, the PTO will
specify the transition time to implement the adopted amendment so as to ensure
the CAISO and PTO are clear as to the implementation time frame where
Maintenance may be performed under both sets of practices.
5.3.3.2. If the CAISO or a PTO makes.a recommendation to
amend Maintenance Practices and if the CAISO or PTO provides notice within
the 30 Business Days specified in Section 5.3.3.1 of this Appendix C that the
CAISO or PTO does not agree with the recommended amendment, the PTO and
the CAISO shall make good faith, efforts to reach a resolution relating to the
recommended amendment. If, after such efforts, the PTO and the CAISO cannot
reach a resolution, the pre-existing Maintenance Practices shall remain in effect.
Either Party may, however, seek further redress through appropriate processes,
including non -binding discussions at the TMCC and/or the dispute resolution
mechanism specified in Section 15 of the Transmission Control Agreement. The
PTO may also request, during the initial attempts at resolution and at any stage
of the redress processes, a deferral of the CAISO recommended amendment
and the CAISO shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a request.
Following the conclusion of any and all redress processes, the PTO's
Maintenance Practices, as modified, if at all, by these processes, shall be
deemed adopted by the CAISO, as the Maintenance Practices for that PTO,
pursuant to the implementation time frame agreed to between the PTO and the
CAISO.
5.3.3.3. If the CAISO determines, that prompt action is
required to avoid a substantial risk to reliability of the CAISO Controlled Grid, it
may direct a PTO to implement certain temporary Maintenance activities in a
period of less than 30 Business Days, by issuing an advisory to the PTO to that
effect, by of a notice delivered in accordance with Section 26.1 of the
Transmission Control Agreement. Any advisory issued pursuant to this Section
5.3.3.3 shall specify why implementation solely under Sections 5.3.3.1 and
5.3.3.2 of this Appendix C is not sufficient to avoid a substantial risk to reliability
of the CAISO Controlled Grid, including, where a substantial risk is not imminent
or clearly imminent, why prompt action is nevertheless required. The CAISO
shall consult with the relevant PTO before issuing a Maintenance advisory. Upon
receiving such an advisory, a PTO shall implement the temporary Maintenance
activities in question, as of the date specified by the CAISO in its advisory, unless
the PTO provides a notice to the CAISO, in accordance. with Section 26.1 of the
Transmission Control Agreement, that the PTO is unable to implement the
temporary Maintenance activities as specified. Even if the PTO provides such a
notice, the PTO shall use its best, efforts to implement the temporary
Maintenance activities as fully as possible. All Maintenance advisories shall
cease to have effect 90 Business Days after issuance by the CAISO or on such
earlier date as the CAISO provides in its notice. Any Maintenance advisories
required to remain in effect beyond 90 Business Days shall require a
recommendation process pursuant to Section 5.3.3.1 or Section 5.3.3.2 of this
Appendix C.
5.4. QUALIFICATIONS OF PERSONNEL
All Maintenance of Transmission Facilities shall be performed by persons who,
by reason of training, experience and instruction, are qualified to perform the
task.

Nuclear Protocols
DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
UNITS 1. & 2
For purposes of this Appendix E, the requirements applicable to Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant are set forth in
Attachment A to Appendix 2 of the Nuclear Plant Interface Requirement
Coordination Agreement between Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(NCR005299), Generation -Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Electric Operations
and Engineering Department, and California Independent System Operator
(NCR050548) Concerning Nuclear Plant Interface Requirements For the Diablo
Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, as that agreement may be amended from time to
time.
SONGS 2&3 REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFSITE
POWER SUPPLY OPERABILITY
Revised as of October 10, 2006
I. OVERVIEW .
The preferred source of electrical power for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating
Station (SONGS) electrical loads (safety -related and non safety -related) is the offsite
power supply or 230 kV grid. The offsite power supply is sometimes referred to as
the preferred power, supply in the applicable regulatory documents.
The offsite power supply is considered "Operable" with respect to the SONGS
Operating License and Technical Specifications when it can provide sufficient capacity
and capability to supply electrical loads needed to safely shut down the reactor and
mitigate certain specified accident scenarios.
The offsite power supply is considered "Inoperable" with respect to the SONGS
Operating License and Technical Specifications if it is degraded to the point that
it cannot provide sufficient capacity and capability to supply electrical loads
needed to safely shut down the reactor and to mitigate the effects of an accident
at SONGS.
It is a necessary condition of the SONGS Operating License and Technical
Specifications that the offsite power supply be Operable at all times. if the offsite
power supply is declared Inoperable, action must be taken to shut down an
online SONGS unit(s) and, for an offline' unit, to suspend activities as required by
the SONGS Operating License and Technical Specifications.
This level of degradation that would result in inoperability can be caused by an
unstable offsite power system, or any condition which renders the offsite power
supply unavailable to safely shutdown the units or supply emergency electrical
loads.
Since accident scenarios for which the SONGS plant is designed can result in a
unit trip, it is imperative that this trip not impair the operability of the offsite power
supply.
If both SONGS units are online and one unit trips (due to an accident or
otherwise), the non -tripped unit will provide local voltage support to the SONGS
switchyard, and 230 W system voltage will remain within the required range. In
cases where one SONGS unit is online and one unit offline, the offsite power
supply must be sufficiently robust to survive a trip of the online unit and meet the
SONGS voltage requirements in the post -trip condition. A dual unit trip is not the
limiting condition since a plant accident is not postulated simultaneous with a
dual unit trip. System Operating Procedures (see Reference 9 below) and
programs shall be in place to ensure that various system operating conditions
(generating unit outages, line outages, system loads, spinning reserve, etc.),
including multiple contingency events, are evaluated and understood, such that
impaired or potentially degraded grid conditions are recognized, assessed and
communicated to the SONGS Control Room.
The SONGS switchyard is made up of the Southern California Edison Company
(SCE) switchyard and the San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) switchyard.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, SONGS switchyard requirements contained in
this document apply to both the SCE switchyard and the SDG&E switchyard.
II. REQUIREMENTS
Note: This section identifies the operational requirements for the
SONGS offsite power supply. These requirements are part of the
SONGS design basis and licensing basis. Failure to meet these
requirements may render the offsite power supply Inoperable, thus
requiring the operating SONGS unit(s) to shutdown. Failure to meet
these requirements must be communicated to SCE and the SONGS
Control Room for operability determination as soon as practicable,
but in any case, within one hour. Changes in the operation of the
transmission network that conflict with these requirements must
have prior approval by SCE.
Note: Specific requirements, procedures,. operating bulletins, division
orders, and analysis that support or provide the basis for the specific
operational requirements may be revised periodically subject to prior
approval of the affected parties.
Nine transmission lines into the SONGS switchyard are normally in service.
Any increase or decrease in the number of lines into the SONGS switchyard
requires prior approval of SCE. (Reference 7 below)
No line may be removed from service for greater than 30 days without
prior notification to SCE. At least two independent transmission lines (one.
from SCE and one from SDG&E) between the transmission network (grid)
and SONGS switchyard shall be in service at all times. (References 1, 2,
3, 4, 7, 8 below)
2. With both San Onofre units off-line, the SONGS offsite power source shall
be capable of providing 158 MW and 96 MVAR to SONGS for normal
operation and for shutting down the units during plant Design Basis
Accident (DBA) conditions. (References 9, 10 below)
3. The minimum grid voltage at the SONGS switchyard shall be maintained
at or above 218 kV. In the event of a system disturbance that can cause
the voltage to dip below 218 kV, including the trip of a SONGS unit, the
grid voltage shall recover to 218 kV or above within 2.5 seconds.
(References 9, 1,0, 12, 13, 18 below)
4. The following initiating events shall not result in the loss of grid stability or
availability:
a. The loss of a SONGS Unit (with the other unit already offline), or
b. The loss of any generating unit on the SCE and SDG&E grids, or
c. The loss of any major transmission circuit or intertie on the SCE
and SDG&E grids, or
d. The loss of any large load or block of load (e.g., due to a bus
section outage) on the SCE and SDG&E grids. (References 2, 3, 4,
8 below)
5. The maximum grid voltage at the SONGS switchyard shall be maintained
at or below 234 kV. (References 10, 11, 18 below)
6. The normal operating voltage of the SONGS switchyard shall be
maintained at 229 kV. The SONGS switchyard voltage shall not exceed
232 kV unless required to preserve transmission network integrity.
(References 10, 11, 18 below)
7. The 3 limiting conditions for SONGS offsite power supply operability are
defined as follows:
1. One SONGS unit is off- line, and
2. One of the critical line (s) outages, in GCC Operating Procedure, OP-
13`: SONGS Voltage (reference 19) occurs, and
3. VAR flows north and south of SONGS are above the threshold levels
for the existing combined SCE and SDG&E import level as defined by
the nomograms referenced in the GCC Operating Procedure, OP-13:
SONGS Voltage.
Based on these nomograms and SONGS offline unit's status, whenever limiting
conditions 1 and 2, as set forth in this Requirement 7, occur, the CAISO (or the
SCE Grid Control Center (SCE GCC), as directed by the CAISO) shall, as soon
as practicable but, in any case, within one hour of the event, perform an
evaluation of system conditions to determine whether or not the .SONGS off site
power supply remains Operable as defined herein. If the SONGS offsite power
supply is Inoperable or cannot be determined to be Operable as defined herein,
the CAISO (or the SCE GCC, as directed by the CAISO) shall notify the
SONGS Control Room immediately of entry into the event. Subsequent to
notification, the SONGS Control Room shall declare the offsite power supply
Inoperable (in anticipation of losing the second SONGS unit) and shall declare
the time period within which the on-line unit will have to initiate shutdown if
conditions are not corrected. The time period shall be within 1 to 24 hours,
based on the SONGS plant and equipment conditions.
In order to ensure the continued ability to meet the 3 limiting conditions
identified above in this Requirement 7, the following six requirements (a-f) must
be met:
a. Systems studies shall be performed and updated based on
changing grid conditions (load growth etc.) to identify critical
conditions that could render the offsite power supply Inoperable.
b. Procedures and programs shall be in effect to ensure that the
SONGS Control Room is notified as soon as practicable but, in any
case, within one hour of an event that renders the offsite power
supply Inoperable.
C. Grid conditions that are more severe with respect to SONGS
switchyard voltage, or are otherwise unanalyzed, shall render the
offsite power supply Inoperable.
d. Auditable records of current system studies shall be made available
to SCE as needed to demonstrate compliance with regulatory
requirements. Study results, including revisions and updates, shall
be formally transmitted to SCE.
e. Study results and conclusions shall be assessed at least annually
and updated, if needed, based on changing grid conditions. Results
of the annual assessments shall be formally transmitted to Vice
President Nuclear Engineering and Technical Services, San Onofre
Nuclear Generating Station. (References 1, 2, 19, and 21 below)
f. System studies shall consider the interconnections between SCE,
SDG&E, and other utilities in the Western Electricity Coordinating
Council (WECC). (Reference 7 below)
8 In the event of loss of the SONGS offsite power:
Note: SONGS 2 and 3 are required by NRC regulations to be
able to safely cope with a loss of all AC power (Station Blackout)
for a maximum of four hours. The four hour coping duration is
based on the expectation that at least one source of AC power
(offsite transmission line or onsite diesel generator) will be
restored to the blacked -out unit within the four hours to ensure
the proper functioning of systems required for plant safety.
a. Highest possible priority shall be given to restoring power to the
SONGS switchyard. Procedures and training should consider .
several potential methods of transmitting power from black -start
capable units to the SONGS switchyard. This includes such items
as nearby gas turbine generators, portable generators, hydro
generators, and black -start fossil power plants. (References 15, 26,
28 below)
b. Should incoming lines to the SONGS switchyard be damaged,
highest priority shall be assigned to repair and restoration of at
least one line into the SONGS switchyard.
C. Repair crews engaging in power restoration activities for SONGS
shall be given the highest priority for manpower, equipment, and
materials.
d. Formal programs and procedures shall be in place to effect items a,
b and c above. (References 14, 15, 16, 17, 26, 27 below)
9. Grid frequency shall be maintained at 60 Hertz (nominal). Atrip of one
SONGS unit shall not cause the grid frequency to dip below 59.7 Hertz.
SCE and SDG&E shall comply with the WECC Coordinated Off -Nominal
Frequency Load Shedding and Restoration Plan. (References 7, 20
below)
10. SCE and SDG&E Bulk Power Transmission System Reliability Criteria as
described in the SONGS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)
shall be maintained. It is recognized that the SCE and SDG&E Bulk Power
Transmission System Reliability Criteria as described in the SONGS 2&3
Updated Final Safety Analysis Report may be revised from time to time. In
the event the reliability criteria are revised, a system assessment and/or
study (as described under specification 7) shall be performed to determine
if the revised reliability criteria adversely impact grid reliability and
availability as defined in this specification. Results of the assessment
and/or study together with a copy of the revised reliability criteria shall be
provided to SCE. Changes in grid operation based on the revised criteria
and associated studies shall not be implemented without prior approval of
SCE. (Reference 7 below)
11. Patrol and inspection of SCE and SDG&E transmission lines, to ensure that
the physical and electrical integrity of transmission components are
maintained, shall be performed as required by the SONGS UFSAR or in
accordance with the current CAISO approved Overhead Electric
Transmission Line Maintenance Practice, whichever requirement is more
stringent. (Reference 7 below)
12. Line insulators on lines which carry power from the plant to the grid shall
be washed as required by the SONGS UFSAR or on an appropriate wash
cycle in accordance with the current CAISO approved Overhead Electric
Transmission Line Maintenance Practice, whichever requirement is more
stringent. The purpose and frequency of which is proven to prevent line
outages that may result from flashovers due to accumulated
contamination. (Reference 7 below)
13. Maintenance, testing and calibration of SCE and SDG&E station equipment
and protective relays shall be performed as required by the SONGS UFSAR
or in accordance with the current CAISO approved Electrical Station
Maintenance Practice, whichever requirement is more stringent. (Reference 7
below)
14. Preventive maintenance and testing of SONGS switchyard batteries shall
be performed in accordance with IEEE 450-1985 or IEEE 450-2002
subsequent to SONGS converting its battery maintenance program to
IEEE 450-2002 requirements. (Reference 7, 23 below)
15. Updates to applicable portions of Section 8.0, Electric Power of the SONGS
UFSAR shall be provided annually to facilitate periodic updates to the UFSAR
by SONGS that are required by 10CFR50.71(e).
