Generation Interconnection Process Reform (GIPR)

Background On December 11, 2007, the FERC held a nationwide technical conference to address challenges affecting the current queue management process adopted by Order No. 2003 and to explore possible reforms. The California ISO (the ISO) , as well as other ISOs and RTOs across the country, identified issues hindering the efficient implementation of the current queue management process. As a result of the ISO’s participation at the technical conference, the FERC expressed a desire for the ISO to propose any necessary reforms by Spring 2008. In accordance with the FERC directive, the ISO is initiating a stakeholder process to evaluate potential queue management reforms. To the extent ISO Tariff changes are necessary to implement any identified reforms, the ISO anticipates seeking ISO Governing Board approval prior to submission to the FERC for acceptance.

Outcome Pending closure of initiative
