Joint ISO/RTO Planning Committee (JIPC)

The JIPC will be comprised of representatives of the planning staff of the parties to the Protocol and will have primary responsibility for the coordination of all activities under the Protocol, including the development of procedures, the conduct of planning analyses, and the production of the NCSP. Working groups will be established as needed to fulfill the responsibilities under the protocol.

Inter-Area Planning Advisory Subcommittee (IPSAC)

The IPSAC will be the primary means for providing stakeholder input for the development of the Northeastern Coordinated System Plan (NCSP). Membership on the IPSAC will be open to all stakeholders within the region, including market participants, governmental agencies, and regional reliability councils. It is envisioned that the IPSAC will meet prior to the start of each cycle, to review and provide feedback to the coordinated planning process during the development of the NCSP, and upon completion, to review the results of the planning process.
