Generator interconnection customers must submit Transmission Plan (TP) Deliverability affidavits to the California ISO to be eligible to receive or retain deliverability allocations in the annual TP Deliverability allocation process. This notice applies to all active generation interconnection projects who are eligible to seek an allocation or who want to retain an allocation from a prior allocation cycle. For eligibility requirements, including wholesale distribution access tariff (WDAT) projects, refer to the ISO Tariff Appendix DD sections listed in the table below.

Projects that are not seeking or retaining a TP Deliverability allocation, including Full Capacity Deliverability Status (FCDS), Partial Capacity Deliverability Status (PCDS), Energy Only and distributed generation resource (DG facilities) projects, or projects that are no longer required to submit an affidavit to retain a TP Deliverability allocation per Section 6.2.9.5 of the Generation Interconnection and Deliverability Allocation Procedures (GIDAP) Business practice manual (BPM) do not need to submit an affidavit. 

The GIDAP BPM contains the affidavit scoring methodology for determining the order for allocating TP Deliverability to eligible projects in each allocation group.  The final draft of the GIDAP BPM that has been updated to reflect the CAISO Tariff Appendix DD Sept.1, 2022 revisions can be accessed here.

The ISO will accept an e-mail copy of documentation for retention or notarized affidavits for seeking an allocation. The notarization must be in jurat form. All documents are due by Dec. 5, 2022. 

Interconnection Customers requesting TP Deliverability for Energy Only capacity must submit to the ISO, or the applicable Participating Transmission Owner (PTO) for WDAT projects, a $60,000 study deposit for each Interconnection Request seeking TP Deliverability.
