Cal-ISO seeks to avoid expanded grid oversight role, transmission maintenance

摘要

The California Independent System Operator does not want to take onrnthe job of overseeing transmission maintenance as part of itsrntransmission planning process because it does not have the staff orrnexpertise to do so, the grid operator told federal regulators recently.rnInstead, this job should stay in the hands of the utilities that are thernparticipating transmission owners, the grid operator told the USrnFederal Energy Regulatory Commission.rn“The CAISO is not in a position - and does not have the relevantrninformation or sufficient staff resources - to efficiently and effectivelyrnexecute a process to review, assess, and approve the entirety of PTOrntransmission maintenance activities,” the grid operator said Thursday.
