The California ISO has launched a new initiative called 2021 Contract Management (COMA) Enhancements, and will hold a public stakeholder call on Aug. 17, 2021, to discuss the related issue paper and straw proposal.

This initiative will update and clarify a number of policies related to generator interconnection contracts. These changes include the topics of: the ISO as an affected system language and pro forma agreement, clarify and expand retirement and repower language, aligning modification timelines among the various study processes, allow asynchronous projects to convert to 100 percent storage, revise the droop and dead-band for asynchronous generators, and adjust the effective date of the Generator Interconnection Study Process Agreement. The policy updates will impact Tariff section 25, Appendix DD, Appendix U, Appendix EE, and Appendix FF.

The paper is available on the initiative webpage. A presentation will also be available prior to the call on that same page.

The call will be recorded and the video file posted on the initiative webpage for a limited time. The recording is for informational and convenience purposes only, and any related transcriptions should not be reprinted without the ISO’s permission.

Please submit written comments on the issue paper and straw proposal by end of day Aug. 31, 2021, through the ISO’s commenting tool using the link on the initiative webpage.
