The WRAP Forward Showing deliverability requirement established the Forward Showing firm Transmission requirement which is currently defined as firm transmission from source to load for 75% of the Monthly P50 Load forecast plus the monthly FSPRM. The availability of NEW long term firm transmission across the west is very constrained and expected to persist into the future. Removing the PRM share of the current Forward Showing Transmission requirement would remove participants’ obligation to acquire long-term firm transmission from source to load beyond their expected load service, while still preserving the 75% long-term firm transmission requirement. Participants continue to acquire short-term firm transmission to reliably serve load after the Forward Showing deadline.
