The California ISO has posted the updated preliminary 2024 Resource Adequacy Net Qualifying Capacity (NQC) data on its website at the Reliability Requirements webpage.
Comments and suggestions related to the NQC values must be submitted through CIRA and suggestions for units to be added to the “Other tab” must be submitted through CIDI with the following subject line “2024 NQC Other tab” along with their Q#, WDAT# or other identifiers by close of business Sept. 5, 2023. Resources that currently do not have any SC association must submit their requests to be added to the “Other tab” via “Contact us” on the ISO website.
NQC values for all Demand Response resources need to be re-authorized by their Local Regulatory Agency (LRA) based on their latest load impact protocol before they can be added on the NQC list.
If no modifications are requested for NQC by Sept. 5, 2023, the ISO will use the posted values for the Resource Adequacy compliance year 2024.
Scheduling coordinators may submit comments to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) at RAFiling@cpuc.ca.gov.
