An identifier beginning with the letter “C” and followed by a number
(e.g., “C1”, “C2”) used to designate a record containing contract
information.
The name of the company that is authorized to make sales as indicated
in the company’s FERC tariff(s) or that is required to file the EQR
under section 220 of the Federal Power Act. This name must match the
name provided as a Seller’s “Company Name” in Field Number 2 of the
ID Data (Seller Data).
The name of the purchaser of contract products and services.
The customer is an affiliate if it controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the seller. This includes a division that operates
as a functional unit. A customer of a seller who is an Exempt Wholesale
Generator may be defined as an affiliate under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act and the FPA.
The FERC tariff reference cites the document that specifies the terms
and conditions under which a Seller is authorized to make transmission
sales, power sales or sales of related jurisdictional services at cost-based
rates or at market-based rates. If the sales are market-based, the tariff
that is specified in the FERC order granting the Seller Market Based
Rate Authority must be listed. If a non-public utility does not have a
FERC Tariff Reference, it should enter “NPU” for the FERC Tariff
Reference.
Unique identifier given to each service agreement that can be used by
the Seller to produce the agreement, if requested. The identifier may be
the number assigned by FERC for those service agreements that have
been filed with and accepted by the Commission, or it may be generated
as part of an internal identification system.
The date the contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates,
use the most recent date signed.

SPINNING RESERVE
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.
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.)
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).
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

Definition
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., nontransmission function) are reported.
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.
Energy sold from a plant whereby the buyer provides fuel to a generator (seller) and receives
power in return for pre-established fees.
The agreement that establishes the terms and conditions under which a transmission owner
transfers operational control over designated transmission facilities.
A make-whole payment by an RTO/ISO to a utility.
