Critical Infrastructure and Cyber Security White Paper

The CAISO proposes to amend its tariff to enhance its ability to coordinate with federal agencies in cybersecurity emergencies. CAISO tariff section 20.4(c) currently allows the CAISO to disclose confidential or commercially sensitive information, without notice to an affected Market Participant, with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and their staff during an investigation. While retaining FERC’s and CFTC’s ability to request and receive non-public information, the CAISO proposes to add a new provision within Section 20.4(c) to authorize the CAISO to provide information to other federal agencies and organizations that have cybersecurity responsibilities in response to a “Cyber Exigency.”
