This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Reqeust (NOGRR) revises the definition of “Transmission Operator” to establish a “Bright Line” threshold (annual peak MW) below which a Distribution Service Provider (DSP) owning no transmission or generation facilities, and who is not provided or offered Transmission Operator (TO) services from their incumbent Transmission Service Provider (TSP) or wholesale power supplier, would be exempted from having to procure designated TO services from a third-party provider. The “Bright Line” threshold being recommended is 25 MW.
