As a result of the delay to implementation of 10 minute settlements, the release time frame has decreased from the original 1 month to approximately 2 weeks. Understanding these timing concerns, the ISO has decided to delay the implementation of Inter-SC Trade Adjustment Bid. Therefore, the ISO is revising the implementation target date for Inter-SC Trade Adjustment Bid until the first week of October 1, 2000. Following is an updated project timeline. Prior to the ISO making this decision, feedback from both business and technical sides of the Market Participants were taken into consideration. It was determined that this later date will allow Market Participants additional testing time to prepare for a successful implementation of the Inter-SC Trade Adjustment Bid software.
