Business Practice Manual (BPM) 106 Qualifying Contracts describes how a contract may be able to receive Qualifying Capacity Contribution (QCC) towards a Participant’s Forward Showing (FS) Capacity Requirement and explains when a Joint Contract Accreditation Form (JCAF) is required to ensure contractual resources are not double counted. The Proposed changes to BPM 106 in this NTFP would:
Reduce the administrative burden involved with verifying contracts between Participants via JCAFs by removing the JCAF and signature requirement for Participant-to-Participant transactions; and
Allow a WRAP Participant and its customer whose load is served through a contract with an entity that is not the WRAP Participant (“Embedded Load Customer”) to agree to the WRAP Participant’s use of the customer’s loads and resources in its FS Demonstration.
