Storage facilities operate as generating units when injecting power into the grid and operate as load when purchasing or
withdrawing electricity from the transmission system. The storage facility is using the transmission system and is required to
pay the just and reasonable costs of the transmission system. An economic dispatch study will be performed to develop ISO
tariff treatment options for storage. The study will examine in detail the differences between storage and conventional load
and generators.
The AESO is interested in stakeholder feedback on this recommendation.

The AESO will revise, where appropriate, ISO Rule 205.4 Regulating Reserve Technical Requirements and Performance
Standards, ISO Rule 205.5 Spinning Reserve Technical Requirements and Performance Standards and ISO Rule 205.6
Supplemental Reserve Technical Requirements and Performance Standards and other rules as may be incidentally impacted
to reflect how energy storage technology will participate in operating reserve products (RR, SR) and Supplemental Reserve
(“SP”)
The AESO is interested in stakeholder feedback on this recommendation.

Examine the performance of current RR providers and assess if changing the current technical requirements and/or
introducing new technologies (such as energy storage) could reduce the required amount of RR.
