MESSAGE

The California ISO is implementing the 2020 cycle of the Distributed Generation Deliverability (DGD) process by working with utility distribution companies in assigning deliverability status to eligible distributed generation facilities in grid areas where the ISO DGD assessment indicated capacity is available to support deliverability status assignments pursuant to ISO Tariff Section 40.4.6.3. The ISO posted the DGD assessment results to its Interconnection study webpage at

http://www.caiso.com/planning/Pages/GeneratorInterconnection/InterconnectionStudy/Default.aspx, under the Deliverability for distributed generation - studies and reports heading.

Investor Owned Utility Application Process

Owners of distributed generation facilities interconnected or applying for interconnection to an investor-owned utility’s distribution system, that is a Participating Transmission Owner in the CAISO, seeking an initial or increase in deliverability status must submit an application by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) Monday, April 13, 2020. Facility owners should contact the appropriate investor-owned utility Participating Transmission Owner; Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, or San Diego Gas & Electric Company, to obtain the necessary application form and eligibility information.

Utility Distribution Company or Metered Subsystem Application Process

Owners of distributed generation facilities interconnected or applying for interconnection to a non-investor-owned utility’s distribution company or metered subsystem distribution system as a Participating Transmission Owner in the CAISO, seeking an initial or increase in deliverability status should contact the appropriate entity with available DGD in the current cycle. The entities below have deliverability available and facility owners can refer to them for information on eligibility and their application process. Although the ISO Tariff does not stipulate a deadline for submitting applications to these utility distribution companies and metered subsystems, owners must report all deliverability status assignments to the ISO no later than April 27, 2020, for inclusion in the ISO’s net qualifying capacity determination for 2020.
