2. Energy Day Objectives Promote Fair, Reliable, Safe and Efficient Service to all segments of the Energy Industry. Develop a Standard Energy Day for the Gas and Electric Industries Eliminate Split Peak for Gas Generation - begin Standard Energy Day during an off-peak period Enhance communication and coordination across both gas and electric industries Allow both industries to more closely match fuel deliveries with generation requirements Alleviate the disconnect between gas and electric scheduling – R04020 Any move toward a Standard Energy Day will impact both the electric and gas industries.

5. REAL TIME ELECTRIC MARKET Changes to just the gas nomination cycle will not resolve electric scheduling concerns. Solution involves action by FERC and ISOs/RTOs to provide incentives to electric generators to contract for firm pipeline capacity. FERC could provide recovery of pipeline reservation charges in rates or through other mechanisms. ISOs /RTOs could provide dispatch priority or other preference for holders of firm capacity. Pipelines could design services to meet the needs of electric generation.
