What has changed in the RTM normal scheduling process?
In normal scheduling and curtailment, the general criteria were modified to incorporate the DAM cleared status of the transactions in the tiebreaking logic. Previously, the general criteria were: price, transmission priority, timestamp (or pro-rata). Now, the general criteria are: price, transmission priority, DAM cleared status, and then timestamp (or pro-rata). This is detailed in the ISO New England Open Access Transmission Tariff, Section II.44 – Scheduling and Curtailment Rules for Real-Time External Transactions.
