Summary of Report Filed June 27, 2005 for RM05-28-Summary of Report Filed June 27, 2005 for RM05-28-000: 000:
Business practices were developed to address communications between pipelines and generators in three situations (R04021):
For generation facilities that have gas scheduled
For generation facilities that do not have gas scheduled but need it
For gas that is needed in extreme unanticipated demand
13 issues were identified related to gas-electric interdependency, and were categorized as to the type of issue raised –policy, business practices, reliability, regional or infrastructure related

Summary of Report Filed February 2006 for RM05-Summary of Report Filed February 2006 for RM05-28-000: 28-000:
6 issues were identified in the report – three focus primarily on gas market changes, and 3 focus primarily on electric market changes
All six issues have policy implications.
All could result in standards development if so directed by either the market participants or the regulators.
The report does not ask regulators to give policy direction, but it does note that it would be very difficult to garner industry consensus without either strong direction from the market participants or strong direction from policy makers.

NAESB Report February 2006 for RM05-28-000: Gas NAESB Report February 2006 for RM05-28-000: Gas IssuesIssues
Issue 1: Consider the development of standards to support Capacity Release pricing on an index for pipelines that have the FERC authority to enter into negotiated rates and discount capacity on an index basis.
Issue 2: Review the possibility of adding an additional intraday nomination cycle with bumping rights to provide more flexibility to shippers, including power generators, with firm transportation rights such that they can nominate for natural gas supporting their market clearing times.
Issue 3: Review the ability of pipelines to shift gas for primary firm transportation within a pipeline path without having to re-offer as secondary firm transportation service.

Issue 4: Review and modify the requirements for organized electric markets so that the markets clear in sufficient time to nominate within the existing gas nomination timelines.
Issue 5: Consider the development of business practices for generators that offer into the day ahead market to have the appropriate commercial arrangements to fulfill the needed obligations.
Issue 6: Develop the appropriate supporting definitions for new business practices for the Wholesale Electric Quadrant, including but not limited to definitions for: alternate fuel capability, usable alternate fuel capability, firm transportation service, firm sales service, firm supply, and “must run” generator.
