Process for Selecting Blackstart Units to be Incorporated in the ATC

Process for Selecting Blackstart Units to be Incorporated inthe A TC Blackstart Restoration Plan

I. BUSINESS PRACTICE

This Business Practice sets forth the manner in which A TC will select Blackstart Units(BSU) for inclusion in the A TC Blackstart Restoration Plan (BSRP) to fulfill A TC'sobligations under the mandatory reliabilty standards of the North American ElectricReliabilty Corporation (NERC) and the applicable Regional Entities. It also allows forcompensation to be paid by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator,Inc. (Midwest ISO) under Rate Schedule 33 of the Tariff to the BSU Owner. 1

II. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

This Business practice applies to all BSUs that are capable of providing BlackstartService to ATC as part of ATC's BSRP. To express interest in providing blackstartservice to ATC, BSU owners should submit the Blackstart Unit Data Request Form (seeExhibit B) to A TC. If the Blackstart Unit Owner is selected to participate in A TC'sBSRP, this Business Practice will permit the Blackstart Unit Owner to

1) enter into an agreement with A TC and the Midwest ISO relating to BlackstartService; and2) qualify for cOmpensation under the provisions of the Midwest ISO's RateSchedule 33, subject to any regulatory approvals.

This Business Practice also establishes a ranking system that A TC will use as a guidein identifying Blackstart Units for their selection, retention or removal in the ATC BSRP.The ranking system described in this Business Practice and the related attachments is atool to be used, in conjunction with engineering, operating and economic judgment, toassess the propriety of the inclusion of any BSU or to compare the relative merits of theuse of alternative BSUs in the ATC BSRP.

i Capitalized terms used in this Business Practice, unless otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Midwest

Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO) Open Access Transmission, Energy and Operating ReserveMarkets Tariff (Tariff) or the mandatory reliabilty standards of NERC. When used in this Business Practice the term "Target Facility"means any generating facility having an aggregate installed capacity of 100 MW or greater, or other large "bulk power system"elements, including but not limited to electrically operated pumping facilties that provide insulation and operational protection toA TC's transmission facilities. The term "bulk power system" has the meaning set forth in 16 USC§824 0 (a) (1) (A) and (B).

II. Blackstart System Restoration Plan Requirements

A TC is a registered Transmission Operator (TOP) and under the mandatory reliabiltystandards has an obligation to develop and maintain a BSRP. ATC is required toreview its BSRP annually and to coordinate the BSRP with the Midwest ISO, the NERCand Regional Entity~registered Reliabilty Coordinator.

A TC does not own any generating capacity and is prohibited under state law fromowning generation, except for certain ancillary services. Blackstart Service is not anancilary service under the rules of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).As a result, A TC is required to obtain Blackstart Service from others. This BusinessPractice and the guideline established by A TC is part of the process to be used by A TCto determine which BSUs are to be included in ATC's BSRP. Attached to this BusinessPractice is a pro forma agreement to be entered into between A TC and the BSUOwners (or their agent or designee) once the BSUs have been selected by ATC forincorporation in ATC's BSRP. The pro forma agreement is set forth as Attachment C tothis Business Practice.

This Business Practice, including Attachment A , sets forth the criteria and relatedfactors associated with BSUs that ATC will consider in the selection process forinclusion in the A TC BSRP and the weighting to be given to each. criterion in order toestablish the ranking of all available BSUs capable of providing Blackstart Service.Attachment A also provides the methodology that A TC wil use in ranking BSUs as partof the selection process for inclusion in the BSRP.

IV. Minimum Requirements for Ranking BSUs

The value of any BSU in providing Blackstart Service is based, in part, upon certainattributes or criteria that permit A TC to establish and maintain a BSRP and in the eventthat the BSRP is implemented, permits A TC to restore its portion of the TransmissionSystem in an effective and efficient manner. The following criteria or attributes of eachBSU wil be assessed, in accordance with the attached methodology to arrive at apreliminary rank for each BSU able to provide Blackstart Service and to be eligible to beincluded in A TC's BSRP. Certain attributes are mandatory in order for a BSU to beconsidered for ranking purposes. The following attributes are the minimum mandatoryrequirements in order for a BSU to be considered for further ranking:

A. Minimum mandatory requirements

In order for any generating facility to qualify for further' ranking, it must:

1. Meet or agree to meet prior to inclusion in A TC's BSRP the definition of"Blackstart Unit" as set forth in the Midwest ISO Tariff (Please refer to

2

Process for Selecting Blackstarl Units to be Incorporated in the A TC Blackstarl Restoration Plan8/14/09 0f 31

Sections 1.23a through 1.23e and Rate Schedule 33 of the Midwest ISOTariff).

2. Meet or agree to meet the requirement of all NERC reliability standardsapplicable to Blackstart Units and Blackstart Service prior to inclusion inATC's BSRP. (Please refer to NERC reliability standard EOP-005, and anysuccessor standards or revisions).

3. Meet or agree to meet such other requirements for Blackstart Unitsdetermined by A TC to be necessary to assure the availability of BlackstartService in fulfillment of ATC's BSRP.

V. Criteria for Ranking Each BSU

If a generating unit (or units or facilties, as appropriate) meets the minimumrequirements set forth above, the generating unit or units or facilties shall beconsidered a BSU for the purpose of this Business Practice. All BSUs will be rankedaccording to their respective scores associated with the criteria set forth below. Thecriteria, the associated weighting and the factors to be taken into account in connectionwith each criterion are set forth in Attachment A to this Business Practice.2

A. Minimum Criteria

Each BSU that meets the minimum qualifications identified above wil beevaluated on the following criteria in the manner set forth in the attached methodology:

1. Location relative to the "target" facilty or facilties. Electrical proximity to

primary generating facilities (or other "target" facilties) is a principal factor inassessing the value or benefit of any BSU in assisting in the restoration ofA TC's portion of the Transmission System in the event that Blackstart Serviceis required from the BSU. Electrical proximity also includes the transmissionline charging and line switching rèquirements of the elements of theTransmission System from the electrical location of the BSU to the targetfacilty or facilities to which the BSU is associated. Each BSU will beassessed in connection with at least two but as many as four target facilties.

2. Energy Output Capabilty. The BSU's 1) dispatchable MW output range

(operating near zero "droop" and 5% "droop"); 2) ramp rate; and 3) total safeand reliable operating range of energy output, including the ability to controlfrequency, are important factors relative to the target facilties to which theBSU may be directed.

2 Each of the Criteria has several factors, each of which bears on the abilty of the BSU to meet the specific criterion satisfactorily.

The abilty of a BSU to meet the minimum requirements for each factor wil detennine the weight to be afforded to each criterion inthe ranking of the BSU. If the BSU is unable to meet the minimum requirements for some or all of the factors associated with anycriteria, the BSU may receive no value for such criterion, and may, at ATC's election, be disqualified from participating in ATe'sBSRP.

3


3. Reactive Power Capabilty. The BSU's 1) dispatchable MVAR output range

at the expected MW restoration range; 2) terminal voltage control capabiliy;and 3) total safe and reliable operating range of MVAR output are importantfactors relative to the target facilities to which the BSU may be directed.

4. BSU start up time. The amount of time required to start a BSU followingnotification from A TC or the regional reliability coordinator to provideBlackstart Service from the BSU is an important factor. The rankingassociated with this factor will be weighted more heavily in favor of the BSUsthat can become operational in the shortest amount of time following thenotification. Any BSU that can not be started within sixty (60) minutesfollowing the receipt of such signal will receive no value for this factor, andmay, at A TC's election, result in the BSU being disqualified from participationin the BSRP.

5. Fuel Availabilty. The amount and source of fuel available to the BSU,including dual fuel capability, is a consideration in connection with rankingeach BSU. A TC wil weigh fuel availability more favorably for those BSUsthat can demonstrate sufficient fuel availability either through firmcommitments or onsite fuel storage at the BSU location.3

6. Training and Testing. The minimum employee training requirements and

BSU capabilty testing requirements are set forth in the NERC mandatoryreliability standards for BSUs. A TC will require each BSU to fulfil the NERCtesting requirements every two years, rather than every three years. The twoyear requirement can be extended to three years by prior mutual agreement.

,-

7. Inertial Mass of the BSU. The inertial mass of the rotating generatingcapability of the BSU relative to the inertial mass of the rotating generatingcapabilty of a generating unit that is a target facility measured in time relativefault capability kA is an important element.4

8. Abilty To Be Re-started. The abilty of the BSU to be started at least three(3) times, and the period of time required prior to any re~start after a BSU hasbeen disconnected from the Transmission System following the receipt of thenotification to provide Blackstart Service is a factor that A TC will consider.The energy storage capability of any batteries or other starting system (suchas compressed air) required to assist the BSU in starting, and if necessary,re~starting will be taken into consideration in the weighing this criterion.

3 It is ATC's intention to include in its BSRP at least two BSU locations that demonstrate on-site fuel storage or suffcient fuel

availability for a minimum of 12 hours of continuous operation of the BSU at its maximum effective energy output.

4 The time relative fault capabilty kA is a measure of the motor starting capability of the BSU at a target facilty, taking into account

the impedance of the cranking path. This is a primary measure of the overall performance of the BSU to provide Blackstart Serviceto a target facilty in order to be qualified for inclusion in ATC's BSRP.

4


B. Cumulative Ranking

Based on the criteria set forth above, and the factors associated with eachcriterion, ATC wil establish a numeric score that will be attributed to each BSU for thepurpose of ranking the BSUs based on such scores. The scores associated with eachBSU wil be one factor used by A TC in determining which BSUs to incorporate in A TC'sBSRP.

Vi. BSU Participation

Once all available BSUs are ranked by A TC, A TC wil select the BSUs that, in A TC'sjudgment, permit ATC to fulfill its BSRP. For each BSU that is selected to participateA TC wil request that they enter into an agreement with A TC to provide BlackstartService in the form set forth as Attachment C to this Business Practice. The BSU wilbe required to participate in A TC's BSRP for not less than three (3) years, or in theevent that ATC revises it's BSRP, and the BSU is no longer required by ATC to fulfil itsBSRP, for such time as A TC determines is appropriate. If the BSU is no longer requiredto fulfil ATC's BSRP, the BSU Owner shall be entitled to the compensation provided forunder Rate Schedule 33 of the Midwest ISO, or as otherwise provided for in any FERCdetermination. If the BSU continues to be required in ATC's BSRP, and the Owner hasnot withdrawn the BSU from participation in ATC's BSRP, then the BSU shall continueto be included in the BSRP for a period of three (3) years, or unti such time as ATCdetermines that A TC no longer requires the BSU as part of the BSRP.

VII. BSU Election to Withdraw from BSRP

The Owner of a BSU may elect to withdraw the BSU from participation in A TC's BSRPat anytime. However, the Owner of the BSU wil be required to give A TC not less thantwelve (12) months prior written notice of withdrawal of the BSU from inclusion in A TC'sBSRP. In the event that the Owner of such BSU withdraws the BSU from inclusion inATC's BSRP prior to the end of the initial three (3) years, the BSU Owner may not beentitled to compensation for the amounts payable under the agreement or under theMidwest ISO's Rate Schedule 33.

VII. BRSP Revisions

A TC will make periodic changes to its BSRP as changes to its portion of theTransmission System warrant, or as otherwise determined by A TC to be appropriate inorder for A TC to fulfil its mandatory reliabiliy requirements. Changes to the BSRP mayresult in A TC requiring more or less BSUs to be incorporated in A TC's BSRP.

iX. Ranking Criteria Changes

5


A TC reserves the right to revise the criteria and associated factors and the weighting ofeach criterion used in ranking BSUs for participation in ATC'sBSRP. Any changes tothe criteria or factors wil not result in any BSU being removed from or disqualified fromparticipating in any BSRP in which the BSU has been included, but may result indifferent ranking for any future revisions to ATC's BSRP, and, depending on thechanges to the BSRP, may result in the BSU not being included in future BSRPs.

In the event that the BSU is re-ranked as a result in changes in the criteria, factors orweighting associated with any criterion, or as a result of changes to ATC's BSRP arisingfrom changes to A TC's Transmission System, revisions to the target facilities, orchanges to the mandatory reliabiliy standards, the BSU Owner shall be entitled tocompensation as provided for in the Midwest ISO's Rate Schedule 33 or as otherwisemay be determined by the FERC.

X. Blackstart Units as Critical Assets

Under the provisions of the mandatory reliability standards, certain assets may bedesignated as "Critical Assets" by the owners of such assets using criteria establishedby the owner. For the purposes of ATC's BSRP, ATC does not own any generatingunits and can not designate any generating unit as a Critical Asset. Once the rankinghas been accomplished for all potential BSUs and the rankings established, ATC may,in its discretion~ request that one or more BSU Owner consider designating at least onebut not more than 2 BSUs as Critical Assets for the purposes of ATC's BSRP. Thisrequest is dependent on the current NERC standards development processrequirements. If one or more BSU Owners offer to designate a BSU as a Critical Asset,ATC will review the designation, and if consistent with the requirements of ATC's BSRP,A TC will accept such BSU or BSUs as Critical Assets. To the extent that thedesignation of a BSU as a Critical Asset by the BSU Owner for the purposes of A TC'sBSRP results in the BSU Owner incurring greater costs and expenses, then, ATC shallagree to pay the BSU Owner such additional costs or expenses under the terms of theBlackstart Service Agreement to be entered into between A TC and the BSU Owner orOwners.

Representations:

A. A TC is a public utilty under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and the Federal Power

Act (16 USC 799, et seq.), and is a standalone transmission company that owns, operates and

controls transmission facilities over which transmission service is provided in interstate

commerce pursuant to the provisions of the Open Access Transmission and Energy Markets

Tariff (Tarff) of the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO).

A TC does not own, operate or otherwise control any generating facilities and is precluded from

doing so under Wisconsin law, except for certain ancilary services.

18


B. A TC is, among other things, a registered "transmission operator" (TOP) under the

registry requirements of the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) and ReliabilityFirst

Corporation (RFC) as that term is defined in the glossary of terms of the North American

Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). As a result, ATC is subject to certain mandatory

reliability standards applicable to transmission operators, including the mandatory reliability

standards relating to the development and maintenance of a Blackstart System Restoration Plan

(BSRP) under the mandatory reliabilty standards.

5

c. Owner owns, operates or otherwise controls one or more generating units or generating

facilities comprised of one or more generating units capable of providing Blackstart Service

("Blackstar Unit" or "BSU") as defined under the provisions of the Midwest iSO Tariff,

specifically Sections 1.23a through 1.23e of the Tariff, and Schedule 33.

D. A TC has developed a BSRP pursuant to the mandatory reliabilty standard requirements,

and, as a result, has incorporated one of more ofOw:ner's Blackstar Units into ATC's BSRP.

E. Owner is wiling to provide Blackstart Service to A TC. The Parties have determined that

it is in their mutual interest to set forth the terms, conditions and limitations relating to the

Blackstart Service to be provided by Owner from the designated BSUs.

Therefore, the Parties agree, as follows:

1. Blackstart System Restoration Plan. In accordance with the NERC, MRO and RFC

mandatory reliability standards, A TC has developed a BSRP for the purpose of restoring its

portion of the Transmission System to normal operation following an event requiring Blackstart

Service. In accordance with ATC's business practice relating to Blackstart Service, ATC has

evaluated those BSUs that are capable of providing Blackstart Service in order to assist in the
