| Description: | This Planning Guide Revision Request (PGRR) creates a new interconnection process for generators and generator modifications that are less than 10 MW in size. This process will enable ERCOT to track these generators through the interconnection process and to perform any appropriate studies, if necessary, before these projects would be included in the ERCOT Network Operations Model. As is the case under the current interconnection process, generators 10 MW or larger will be subject to a more rigorous interconnection process, including a screening study, Full Interconnection Study (FIS), Quarterly Stability Analysis, and other requirements. This PGRR also extends the generator interconnection process to apply to distribution-connected Generation Resources and Settlement Only Generators (SOG), and clarifies the roles of ERCOT and Transmission and/or Distribution Service Providers (TDSPs) in interconnecting these generators. This PGRR also reorganizes Section 5, eliminates duplicative language, and provides further clarifications of existing requirements. This PGRR reflects input from stakeholders gathered through a series of workshops. |
| Reason: | Addresses current operational issues; Market efficiencies or enhancements. This PGRR gives ERCOT visibility of proposed generators and generator modifications that are less than 10 MW in size. The existing interconnection process described in Planning Guide Section 5 does not apply to these smaller projects. With increasing numbers of small generators being proposed, the need for ERCOT to have some visibility of the number and location of these projects becomes more important. This PGRR also specifies interconnection requirements for generators interconnected at distribution voltage, providing needed clarity in the interconnection process. Other organizational and editorial revisions give greater clarity to developers interconnecting generation projects in the ERCOT System. |
