f.  Project Details Form

The Project Details Form shall be used to create a new project OR update the information for an existing project.

To create a new project type “NEW” and complete all the required information in the form:

Within the form, we ask that the free tool be used to find the latitude and longitude coordinates of the project.

It is very important that Interconnection Customers inform NRI of the Scheduling Coordinator’s contact information, Scheduling Coordinator’s Identification Number (SCID), and effective date as soon as possible in the process.

If not already completed, the Interconnection Customer shall submit an updated Project Details Form V9 that includes the designated SC contact information, SCID and SC Association Effective Date, Legal Entity and address, and Primary and Secondary contracts contact information, and Signatory contact.

Note: Please note that if your proposed project requires more than one market resource ID you will need to create one project per resource ID. For example, if the project is a large solar resource requiring two market resource IDs, two Project Details Forms will be required.

Once it has been processed by NRI, an email will be sent to the generator owner and other listed Points of Contact with an attachment that contains the project number that all files and email subject lines will need in order to process your required information.

To update information on an existing project enter the project number and make the desired changes to project:

g.  Temporary Point of Contact (POC)

Only Authorized Point of Contact(s) are approved to submit and receive project files. The email addresses for Authorized POCs must be listed on the Project Details form in the field labeled “Authorized Point of Contact(s) Email Addresses.” Multiple email addresses must be separated with a semi colon “;”

h.  Resource Interconnection Management System guidelines

It will be required to have user access to RIMS starting in the third quarter of 2016.

1.  Establish a User Access Administrator (UAA) with the ISO Client Relations Department. If you are unsure whether a UAA has been established with the CAISO please contact Client Relations Department at *****@***com. Use the link below and complete steps 1 (Designate UAA) and step 2 (Complete web-based User Access Administrator Agreement) of the UAA guide.

2.  Once your UAA has been established or is established, complete steps 3-5 using the UAA Guide link listed below.

3.  Users will need to be provisioned by the UAA for each NRI project, including meter replacement and RIG reconfiguration project types.

i.  Email Subject Line and File Naming Convention and Version Control Standards

Interconnection Customers should include their Internal ISO Project Number and Project Name in the subject line of all emails sent to *****@***com.

All files submitted to NRI should be clearly labeled. Please use the New Resource Implementation Checklist’s deliverables names in Column B “Document Title” of the spreadsheet along with your CAISO project number and version number in the file name. Any file submitted with special characters in the file name will be rejected. These characters include:

~, #, %, & , @, * , { , } , : , ; , < , > , ? , / ,\ , | , [ , ] , - , “ ,

The Interconnection Customer has the responsibility to submit documents using the correct file naming convention standards. Below is an example of how a file shall be submitted to NRI.

Filename guideline for submittal attachments

ISO Project Number: ISOPN

Document Title: DT (Column A in NRI Checklist Spreadsheet)

Version Number: VerX (X = Number)

Example: ISOPN DT VerX

Example: 13GEN123 SLD Ver1

Examples of Bad Document Titles

13GEN123_SLD_Ver1

13GEN123 SLD 3LD Ver1

Email Subject Line

Email subject lines must include the Project Number and must be isolated from any other text or characters.

Example of good email subject lines:

13GEN123 SLD 3LD

13GEN123

Examples of bad email subject lines:

13GEN123: SLD

13GEN123_SLD

3.  CAISO Bucket Dates

The bucket dates are not cutoff dates, but the final dates by which deliverables must be accepted by the ISO. This means that submissions must be given a sufficient amount of time (no less than 10-15 business days) to be reviewed and accepted. The generator owner should also give adequate time to resubmit corrected deliverables so that the CAISO is able to review and comment on the resubmission.
