This conference will build on discussions at prior conferences in this proceeding by focusing on topics identified as important to market efficiency in those conferences. Broadly, such topics fall into the following categories: (1) Software for including climate change and extreme weather in shortterm load forecasting and in long-term planning models, including novel methodologies for assessing capacity 1 https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/electric/ power-sales-and-markets/increasing-efficiencythrough-improved-software.

(4) Software related to grid-enhancing technologies, such as those described in Docket Nos. AD19–19 2 and AD19–15,3 including optimal transmission switching, dynamic transmission line ratings, power flow controls, and any software related to implementing the Commission’s recent rulemaking regarding line ratings in Order No. 881.4 (5) Software for improving the performance of generating resources’ ability and incentives to follow dispatch instructions and for eliminating unnecessary make-whole payments, including software for ensuring that product awards reflect prevailing transmission constraints and capabilities of resources to deliver awarded products. (6) Software for better modeling and computation of resources with distinct operating characteristics such as storage resources, multi-stage/multiconfiguration resources, hybrid resources, aggregations of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) (including DER Management Systems, or DERMS), and others. Presentations on this topic should focus on alternative formulations and solution methods for market models. (7) Other improvements in algorithms, model formulations, or hardware advancements that may allow for improvements to the bulk power system in market efficiency and enhanced reliability.

Commission acts on its application. If the licensee of such a project 
has not filed an application for a subsequent license, then it may be 
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to continue project operations 
until the Commission issues someone else a license for the project or 
otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
