·     How does the system work?

     ·    Which control areas are participating?

     ·    How much does wesTTrans cost and how is it financed?

     ·    Does the system include an energy market or posting of power offers?

     ·    Who will calculate ATC?  Transmission owners?  Independent entity?

     ·        Will there be any auditing of TTC and ATC calculations?  By whom?

     ·        What, if any, additional existing transmission capacity will be freed-up by a common OASIS?  
           (Utilization of many paths in the Western Interconnection is often below transfer limits.  
           Many of these paths are believed to have no ATC.)

     ·        When will unscheduled transmission capacity be released for others to use?

     ·        Will the OASIS support new transmission products, such as quasi-firm transmission?

     ·        Will the OASIS system catalogue and archive hourly TTC and ATC to permit comparisons 
           with actual  flows?  
           Who will have access to the archived information and will they be charged for access to the
           information?

     ·        Will there be any effort to link wesTTrans and non-participating control areas so as to 
           reduce the hassle of getting transmission capacity across participating and non-
           participating control areas?

     ·       How does wesTTrans compare with the incremental proposals being developed by the 
           RTO West Regional Representatives Group?

     ·      What progress is being made to ensure the development of a common, public database 
          for transmission planning?  What efforts are planned to improve the quality of information 
          in the public data base?  What can states/provinces do to accelerate these efforts?

     ·      Is the information from LSE resource plans submitted to PUCs being used in 
          transmission planning?  
          What are the next steps to improve the linkage between PUC-review resource plans 
          and transmission planning?

Utility of the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information 
System (WREGIS) in helping states/provinces verify green power claims 
and RPS compliance – Jeff Burks (UT DNR), Jan Hamrin (CRS), Tim Tutt (CEC)

     ·     Why should tracking and registration of renewable energy generation and renewable 
          energy certificates through WREGIS  matter to regulators?

           o       Will WREGIS enable states/provinces to verify utility compliance with 
                     Renewable Portfolio Standards or other renewable energy purchase 
                     requirements?

           o       Will WREGIS enable states/provinces with information disclosure requirements
                     and green pricing programs to validate renewable energy product claims and 
                     verify renewable energy has not been sold more than once to LSEs or end users?

           o     How do renewable energy certificates intersect with utility rate-making?

     ·        What do PUCs need to do to ensure WREGIS will meet their needs?

           o       What PUC administered programs or mandates could  be served by WREGIS?

           o       How can regulators have input into the development of WREGIS?

     ·        What are the next steps in the development of WREGIS?

           o       Where will WREGIS be housed?

           o       How will WREGIS be financed?

           o       When will WREGIS be operational?
