Comments accepted March 25, 2026 to April 8, 2026

 Edits to BPMs 105 and 202 (Operational Testing timeline & load forecasting clarification)




WPP's (Lead Sponsor) Description of the Issue: 

Business Practice Manual (BPM) 105 Forward Showing Qualifying Resources – Current language states that Participants must complete Operational Tests during the 12-Month period prior to the FS Submittal due date. Participants should be permitted to complete Operational Tests up to the end of the Cure Period to allow them to cure an identified deficiency related to an Operational Test.  

BPM 202 Participant Sharing Calculation Inputs – Language in Section 5.1 Load Forecast requires clarification to ensure the Load Forecast data being submitted in the Operations Program is based on the same load that was submitted in a Participant’s corresponding Forward Showing.
