Generation Interconnection Process Reform (GIPR)	Back to Previous Page  Download Adobe Reader

Background On December 11, 2007, the FERC held a nationwide technical conference to address challenges affecting the current queue management process adopted by Order No. 2003 and to explore possible reforms. The CAISO, as well as other ISOs and RTOs across the country, identified issues hindering the efficient implementation of the current queue management process. As a result of the CAISO’s participation at the technical conference, the FERC expressed a desire for the CAISO to propose any necessary reforms by Spring 2008. In accordance with the FERC directive, the CAISO is initiating a stakeholder process to evaluate potential queue management reforms. To the extent CAISO Tariff changes are necessary to implement any identified reforms, the CAISO anticipates seeking CAISO Governing Board approval prior to submission to the FERC for acceptance.
