01. Please supply any comments on the draft Task Force Schedule found in Figure 5 (Schedule III)

APS appreciates the discretion and flexibility exercised by the PRC and WPP in developing the 2026 Workplan Schedule III. In particular, APS found the sequencing reflected in Schedule III to be responsive to participant feedback provided through RAPC discussions, especially with respect to prioritizing concepts that support readiness for the first binding Forward Showing. APS supports the approach of limiting the schedule to two concurrent PRC workstreams, which appropriately balances progress on critical policy issues with stakeholder and WPP staff bandwidth constraints. The incorporation of buffers and alternative development paths (i.e. scoped white papers and non-task-force proposals) is a pragmatic recognition of implementation risk and uncertainty. Overall, Schedule III reflects a thoughtful integration of prioritization, level-of-effort realities, and participant needs.

02. Please supply any comments on Concepts that would provide valuable clarification ahead of the March 31st, 2027, Forward Showing Deadline for the first Binding Season of Winter 2027-2028

APS believes the following concepts would provide the most value in advance of the March 31, 2027 Forward Showing deadline for the first binding Season (Winter 2027–2028): • Day-Ahead Market Optimization • Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) approach • Forward Showing Deficiency Deferral Resolution • Participant-to-Participant Joint Capacity Accreditation Forms (JCAFs) APS supports the draft Workplan as presented under Schedule III, which appropriately positions each of these items for completion, clarification or meaningful progress ahead of the Forward Showing deadline. Advancing these concepts on the proposed timeline will materially improve participant certainty and support successful execution of WRAP during the first binding period.
