No comment

02 Please supply any comments related to the preschedule day.

    1. SCL generally supports the timeline of the preschedule day but feels there needs to be more flexibility for Participants to utilize the day-ahead market to address any potential deficits as calculated by the Sharing Calculation. The MIDC trading hub on ICE over the last five years continues to trade later and later. Between the time of 600am-630am, the ICE MIDC market and other trading locations may not be framed up (bid/offer) to provide Participants the opportunity to procure for a deficit.
    2. IS it possible for the WRAP program, during its non-binding nature, to assess if the 600am-630am timeline on the Preschedule Day is meeting the needs of the WRAP Participants to procure their deficit position, and if it isn’t meeting the WRAP Participant needs, it could be moved to a later time say between 630am-730am?
    3. Is there more to the last sentence in this?

03 Please supply any comments related to the operating day.

    1. E-Tagging at T-90 differs from the general way SCL operates. Is it possible to have some added flexibility for Participants E-Tagging their energy deployments to be more in line with standard E-Tagging deadlines followed today, such as T-40 to T-20 timeframe?

04 Please supply any comments related to the current format, structure, contents of the business practice - as it relates to a template for all business practices to follow.

General Comment

SCL would like to see clarity on the hours mentioned throughout the document. It would be helpful to see the am/pm designation alongside the hour as well as notated on Figure 2.
