Expedited GIDAP enhancements 2017 (completed)

Outcome: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved on March 9, 2018, the enhancements proposed in the Generator Interconnection and Deliverability Allocation Procedures including extending the parking provisions and revising the interconnection request window and validation timeframe. The purpose of these changes was to provide relief to generation interconnection customers impacted by the current timelines related to these items.—FERC approval: Mar 9, 2018; Tariff amendment filing: Jan 9, 2018 (ER18-626); Board of Governors approval: Dec 14, 2017

The ISO has identified two interconnection issues that need expedited resolutions: 1) how long an interconnection customer may “park” for purposes of receiving a Transmission Plan Deliverability allocation; and 2) how long interconnection customers have to submit, correct, and re-submit new interconnection requests within the ISO validation timeframe. Through this initiative the ISO proposes to change the current parking and interconnection request window and validation processes in the Generator Interconnection and Deliverability Allocation Procedures (GIDAP).
