The loss of energy, resulting from transporting power over a transmission system.

REASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT


Transmission capacity reassignment agreement.

REGULATION & FREQUENCY RESPONSE

Service providing for continuous balancing of resources (generation and interchange) with load, and for maintaining scheduled interconnection frequency by committing on-line generation where output is raised or lowered and by other non-generation resources capable of providing this service as necessary to follow the moment-by-moment changes in load (Ancillary Service). For Contracts, reported if the contract provides for sale of the product. For Transactions, sales by third-party providers (i.e., non-transmission function) are reported.

REQUIREMENTS SERVICE

Firm, load-following power supply necessary to serve a specified share of customer's aggregate load during the term of the agreement. Requirements service may include some or all of the energy, capacity and ancillary service products. (If the components of the requirements service are priced separately, they should be reported separately in the transactions tab.)

SCHEDULE SYSTEM CONTROL & DISPATCH

Scheduling, confirming and implementing an interchange schedule with other Balancing Authorities, including intermediary Balancing Authorities providing transmission service, and ensuring operational security during the interchange transaction (Ancillary Service).

SPINNING RESERVE

Unloaded synchronized generating capacity that is immediately responsive to system frequency and that is capable of being loaded in a short time period or non-generation resources capable of providing this service (Ancillary Service). For Contracts, reported if the contract provides for sale of the product. For Transactions, sales by third-party providers (i.e., non-transmission function) are reported.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESERVE

Service needed to serve load in the event of a system contingency, available with greater delay than SPINNING RESERVE. This service may be provided by generating units that are on-line but unloaded, by quick-start generation, or by interruptible load or other non-generation resources capable of providing this service (Ancillary Service). For Contracts, reported if the contract provides for sale of the product. For Transactions, sales by third-party providers (i.e., non-transmission function) are reported.

SYSTEM OPERATING AGREEMENTS


An executed agreement that contains the terms and conditions under which a system or network customer shall operate its facilities and the technical and operational matters associated with the implementation of network.

TOLLING ENERGY

Energy sold from a plant whereby the buyer provides fuel to a generator (seller) and receives power in return for pre-established fees.

TRANSMISSION OWNERS AGREEMENT


The agreement that establishes the terms and conditions under which a transmission owner transfers operational control over designated transmission facilities.

UPLIFT

A make-whole payment by an RTO/ISO to a utility.
