BWMQ's Alan Heintz aided the Rates and Tariffs Task Force on the issues for which decisions would be required before the 26 utilities could operate an ISO.  The effort included detailing the issues, noting the interrelated issues, and presenting options on the major issues.  The issues included, formula/stated rates and revenue requirements, congestion management, zonal/grid-wide rates, phase in methods, treatment of the various pre-existing agreements, definition of transmission facilities (including DC facilities), revenue allocations, loss calculations and recovery methods, ancillary services and rates, grid expansion costs recovery methods, and ensuring that good price signals were given participants to ensure economic decisions.  The effort also included drafting the terms and conditions together with legal counsel.
