List Watch: NANOG - Subject: [power] outages as confidential information

"Last summer, some folks may remember I commented on the practice
of CAISO not saying which plant tripped off-line leading to
various stages of emergency during the summer. Several folks
replied it was competitve information, and it would be illegal
to release the information.

"The State of California has now ordered the California ISO to post
daily lists, including the names, of power plants off-line for scheduled
or unscheduled outages. Further the Governer has ordered utlities
to provide advance notice to CAISO of future scheduled power plant
shutdowns."

A similar reporting structure exists in Carrier circles, only the reporting criterion for carriers is such that the outage must affect at least 30,000 (50,000?) customers. Maybe the measure above will reduce the number of shenanigans taking place (these could include some dubious discretionary plant shutdowns for "maintenance activities") where they exist but are not warranted. What's next on the governor's list of remedies? I suppose pre-qualifying and approvals for planned shutdowns would be next. At most, these measures reach the point of diminishing returns. What are the larger issues and near term remedies, short of erecting new plants, which could not be achieved overnight?
