The ISO proposed to > accommodate such participation from June 15 to October 15, 2000 by Loads > that could provide telemetry of their Demand data to the ISO's Energy > Management System pursuant to a "relaxed" Technical Standard.

In the course of the implementation process, the ISO has > determined that the actual amounts of capacity that will potentially be > available to participate will be below the maximum for any of the listed > services. Approximately half of the 400 MW in Non-Spin and Replacement > has been committed (some subject to CPUC approval) leaving approximately > 200 MW available in each category. Approximately 750 MW is still > available in the Supplemental Energy category. > > Therefore, the ISO wishes to announce a re-opening > of the period for submittal of proposals for the "Summer 2000 Market > Participating Load Trial Program" The ISO seeks to obtain the total > amount of participation requested for the trial program within the time > available.

At this time the ISO expects to continue > this Load Program beyond October 15, 2000, however a final decision on > continuation and the exact technical and commercial details applicable to > any such continuation will be reached late this year based on a review of > the Summer 2000 Program experience. > > > Additional respondents should follow the process and > requirements set forth in the February 29, 2000 Market Notice in all > respects other than the date for delivery of proposals.
