Expanding metering and telemetry options (completed)

Outcome: As the ISO expanded the metering and telemetry rules and requirements in phase 1, the second phase of the initiative created a third party participation option called the Distributed Energy Resource Provider (DERP) to aggregate and disaggregate resources on behalf of scheduling coordinators. — FERC approval: Sep 22, 2016; Tariff amendment filing: Mar 04, 2016 (ER16-1085); Board of Governors approval: Jul 16, 2015

As requested by participants, the ISO is evaluating additional configuration options for metering and telemetry to reduce barriers for aggregated resource models. We will conduct pilot programs as needed to demonstrate that the alternatives meet ISO and participant needs, and review and modify ISO requirements if necessary. The initiative may produce Business Practice Manual for Telemetry and Metering updates and potential tariff changes.
