NERC
Possible Future for TLR and Congestion
Management NAES would adopt and re-write the TLR
procedure. Working with FERC, they would create
a new attachment to the tariff for congestion
management. The TLR procedure would become the
pro-forma requirement, and would be written such
that a provider could simply cut and paste it
into their tariff if they wished. WECC could
write a similar cut and paste procedure
(USF). NERC would modify IRO-001 to require a
section on congestion management in the Regional
Reliability Plan. In that plan, the Region would
need to specify 1.) the detailed CM procedures
used by each of its TSPs, 2.) how any CM
difference between the TSPS within the region are
addressed, and 3.) how any CM differences with
other regions are addressed. This incentivizes
the region to have CM practice, and to reduce
operational seams where possible. NERC would
approve the plan based on the reliability aspects
only.
