The California ISO will host the annual Resource Interconnection Standards Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026.

If you plan to attend the meeting in person, please register by end of day Aug. 6, 2026.

The forum will include a series of presentations and discussions that outline the interconnection requirements for a new resource to be able to connect to the ISO grid.
