  If you are connected to the CAISO controlled grid, please initiate the conversion process by sending an email to RegulatoryContracts@caiso.com and NRI@caiso.com, which must include the most recent one line diagram of the generating unit showing the interconnection to the ISO controlled grid. The ISO will review and confirm the interconnection to the ISO controlled grid. Following this determination, please submit the below listed information to RegulatoryContracts@caiso.com. Please review the BPM for Generator Management for the detailed process for conversion to ISO markets for existing generators. The link to the NRI webpage is also provided below.

  Consult the New Resource Implementation Guide and the New Resource Implementation Checklist to ensure a smooth transition from build to bid in the ISO markets. The NRI Checklist will describe how to create and complete your project and the deliverables required based on your project type. The Quick Start Guides provide step-by-step guidance describing how to create your project within NRI. Once your project is created, any inquiries can be sent to NRI@caiso.com.
