• Available Transfer Capability (ATC)*• Available Transfer Capability (ATC)– A measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission
network for further commercial activity over and above already committed usesuses
ATC = TTC – TRM – CBM – ETC

interconnected transmission network in a reliable manner while meeting all of a specific set of defined pre- and post-contingency systemall of a specific set of defined pre and post contingency system conditions.
• Existing Transmission Commitments• Existing Transmission Commitments (ETC)*
Reservations of transmission capacity by network and point to point– Reservations of transmission capacity by network and point-to-point customers. Committed uses of a Transmission Service Provider’s Transmission system considered when determining ATC (per proposed MOD-001-1).

Serving Entities (LSEs) on the host transmission system where their load is located, to enable access to generation from interconnected

Di ti l t k h ld i t d d f f ft J 2009• Directional stakeholder input needed for focus after January 2009
• Carry-over items to consider:– Establish a public forum to review transmission usage and path utilization factor
d t ATC (ONGOING FROM PHASE 2)compared to ATC (ONGOING FROM PHASE 2)– Development of a “point and click” linked spreadsheet to the map that identifies Total
Transmission Capacity (TTC) being decremented by various uses and network requirements including subscribed obligations
– Establish a regular schedule and process for explanation of the determination and assumptions behind TTC on specific pathsassumptions behind TTC on specific paths
– Dynamic linked alignment (one way or two) between specific providers OASIS data and the NTTG website data
– Forecast ATC for integration of non traditional OATT “firm like” products, such as a possible conditional firm productPosting for ATC on outbound or inbound paths to footprints– Posting for ATC on outbound or inbound paths to footprints adjacent to NTTG
– How to make sure Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) is secure
– Other?
