02: Please supply any comments related to the Sharing Calculation Run (3).

Powerex suggests the language on forced outages be more inclusive to instances where a forced outage is caused by a transmission outage or derate. Removing the phrase “associated with imports” would better align with the change in Forced Outages definition in tariff Section 20.1.1  

03: Please supply any comments related to the Confirmation of Need for Holdback Capacity (4).

No response submitted.

04: Please supply any comments related to the Voluntary Offers section (5).

Powerex notes that there may be circumstances in which a Participant may have a negative Sharing Calculation result but may still be able to provide Voluntary Holdback from resources surplus to their Forward Showing requirement. As such, Voluntary Holdback offers from a Participant with a negative Sharing Calculation result should still be utilized, unless that same Participant has confirmed a need for any amount of Holdback Capacity (i.e. that Participant has Opted-In). If the Participant does not elect to opt-in to take holdback, the Participant’s voluntary Holdback offers should stand.
