The Phases of MISO TSR Integration…
Phase 1:
• MISO determines customers eligible for transmission service
• MISO contacts eligible customers regarding registration
arrangements
• Transmission customers must complete all required application
and MP registration processes
Phase 2:
• Identified transmission customers complete Transmission
Service Agreement registration process for network and point-topoint transmission service as a Market Participant (includes
identification / registration of commercial pricing nodes)
Phase 3:
• MISO transfers existing Integrating Entity OASIS reservations to
the MISO node on the MISO OASIS
• TSR conversion requests must be communicated to MISO

Partial Path…
Step 1: Partial path TSR will not be removed or extended to a full path. Its
POR/Source or POD/Sink that extends across the MISO/Entergy border will be
modified so that its path terminates at the MISO/Entergy border (see examples on
the following slides). If the customer desires a different source/sink than the
MISO/Entergy border source/sink, it will be reviewed and studied if appropriate.
Step 2: If the resulting TSR from step 1 is sinking within the market, it can be
removed (if the load at the sink doesn’t rely on the TSR to supply the load).
Step 3: Any special scenario can be requested to be reviewed. MISO will process
it on a case by case basis.
Consistent with previous MISO new member integrations

Transmission Service Integration-Unconfirmed TSRs…
Key questions for unconfirmed and
still active TSRs
Answers
How will MISO handle unconfirmed and These TSRs will be consolidated and
still active TSRs on the integrating entity placed on the MISO OASIS node. MISO
OASIS?
will be shown as the Transmission
Provider.
How will the queue position be
established?
The queue will be established during
the consolidation process. It will be
based on the queue time on the
integrating entity’s OASIS node.
How will start / stop dates be handled
for TSRs that span across the
integration date?
The actual integration date will become
the new start date. This reflects when
the reservations began settling under
the MISO EMT (original start date will
be stored in the TSR comment section).

TSR Conversions

TSR Conversions Overview…
There will four distinct types of TSR conversions that may occur as part of the process of
standing up Module B-1. The timing of these conversions will vary and may not apply to all
entities as outlined in the table below.
Conversion Type
Description
Timing
Cross-border TSRs
•
Two reservations – one on Entergy OASIS
and one on MISO OASIS – representing a
single path
MISO will merge into one TSR at
integration to avoid rate-pancaking
•
Customers using an agent must have
reservations transferred to the financiallyresponsible entity
•
•
Mapping to an
agent
•
•
•
Cross-border TSR spreadsheet is posted
on OASIS and is due to MISO by 2/15
MISO will meet with individual customers
to discuss individual conversions
between 3/15 – 4/30
Customer works with Entergy ICT to
transfer TSRs to the new entity
MISO will meet with individual customers
between 3/15 – 4/30
Mapping to a new
pricing zone
•
Network reservations on the Entergy
OASIS will need to be mapped to the new
MISO pricing zones
•
•
No input needed by customers
MISO will meet with individual customers
between 3/15 – 4/30
Remove partial
paths
•
Partial path reservations (TSRs that cross
MISO and Entergy footprints but only exist
on one OASIS) will be modified so they
terminate at the MISO/Entergy border
Customers may request a different
source/sink for MISO’s review
•
Requests for different source/sink review
are due by 4/1/13
Studies will be performed if required after
MISO reviews for appropriateness

Frequently Asked Questions (1 of 3)…
1. As an existing integrating entity OASIS customer, applying to become a Certified MISO
Market Participant (MP), what is required on the 3/15/13 deadline from the Section 18
packet of paperwork? Is it simply service agreements or something more?
• All service agreements and applications should be submitted by 3/15/13 for any new service that
may be taken under Module B-1 or Module B. Submitting this documentation now preserves your
future service options.
• If you have any cross-border transactions, a cross-border TSR template should be completed by
3/15/13.
2. What else is required of a new MISO MP Applicant to ensure readiness to take service
and to be settled by MISO beginning July 1, 2013?
• Please see “The Phases of MISO TSR Integration…” slide from this presentation.
• Meeting Credit requirements no later than May 17, 2013 will be important to certification efforts.
• MISO cannot certify an Applicant until Credit requirements are met.
3. As an existing integrating entity OASIS customer, and an existing MISO Certified
Market Participant with MISO Transmission paperwork already on-file, is anything else
required?
• Specification sheets for any network load should be provided by 4/1/13.
• All existing MISO MPs are encouraged to review MISO Transmission Service Agreements to
ensure you have the appropriate agreements for any new service you intend to take as a result of
the Southern Region Integration.

29
Frequently Asked Questions (2 of 3)…
4. As an existing Certified MISO MP, with MISO transmission paperwork already on-file,
is anything additional required to act as an agent for an existing integrating entity
customer?
• If your entity has not done so already, an Attachment B should be submitted by the MISO Agent
MP no later than 3/15/13. This documents the intended agent relationship with the existing
integrating entity customer.
• Specification sheets for any network load should be provided by 4/1/13.
• All existing MISO MPs are encouraged to review MISO Transmission Service Agreements to
ensure you have the appropriate agreements for any new service you intend to take as a result of
the Southern Region Integration.
• Additionally, if you have any cross-border transactions, MISO requests that the MISO MP
complete a cross-border TSR template.
5. Which type of application and/or service agreement should we be completing?
• The service you anticipate you will request under MISO tariff: Short-term Firm Point to Point, Longterm Firm Point to Point, Non-firm Point to Point, and Network Integration Transmission Services.
FAQs
Transmission Service
Registration
30
Frequently Asked Questions (3 of 3)…
6. When are the specification sheets due?
• Specification sheets for network load are due 4/1.
• Specification sheets for confirmed Point to Point are not needed.
7. How do I complete my specification sheet by April 1, 2013 if I have not registered my
Commercial Model information and do not intend to do so until the June 1, 2013 stated
deadline?
• For the April 1 deadline, customers don’t need the commercial model information to complete the
specification sheet.
• MISO will note the CPNODE information to the specification sheet later when the CPNODE
information is available.
8. How do I update/transfer my existing Entergy TSR to my agent? Is there a different
process for each type of TSR? Who can I work with at Entergy if I have questions?
• Please work with Entergy ICT to get it transferred. Please contact
EntergyTariffAdministration@misoenergy.org.
