EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tiers 8&9 ED 002061 00181609-00002 in 2018 and 2019. The waiver, which was necessitated by recent changes in CAISO's resource adequacy program, will allow CPUC-identified DRAM resources to meet their contractual and regulatory obligations. In granting the waiver, however, FERC stated that DRAM contracts executed after the date of the order and that do not conform with current CAISO requirements should not be eligible for the waiver. f in 0 Troutman Sanders LLP.
