What is the appropriate response from a Balancing Authority when curtailment is requested through Transmission Loading Relief Procedures?

When a Balancing Authority receives a curtailment request through Transmission Loading Relief Procedures, the appropriate response is to curtail interchange as requested and take no further action. This means that the Balancing Authority should adjust its power transactions in compliance with the curtailment directive to relieve the transmission constraints without complicating the situation further.

This response aligns with the responsibilities of a Balancing Authority to maintain system reliability and ensure that available transmission capacity is aligned with the demand and generation in real time. By effectively curtailing the interchange as directed, the Balancing Authority helps prevent potential overloads on the transmission system, which could lead to larger system reliability issues.

Taking no further action means that the Balancing Authority is executing the request without seeking additional changes or negotiations, which helps streamline the process and allows for a more immediate resolution to the transmission loading issue.
