In New York, a person (developer) may need to file an Interconnection Request with the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) to connect a new generating facility, or merchant transmission facility to the New York State (NYS) Transmission System. A developer may also need to file an Interconnection Request with NYISO for material modifications to an existing large facility or modifications to an existing Interconnection Request. NYISO Transmission Expansion and Interconnection Manual, at § 3.1; NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) §§ 3.9, 4.5.8, 3.11, 4.5.9.
As New York State’s Independent System Operator, NYISO monitors reliability of the state’s power system and coordinates the daily operations to distribute electricity supply. New York State Department of Public Service – NYISO Website. Each large facility or small generating facility proposed by a generation developer or merchant transmission developer, must meet NYISO’s Minimum Interconnection Standard for reliability. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 25.2. The NYISO Minimum Interconnection Standard is designed to ensure reliable access by the proposed project to the NYS Transmission System and to the Distribution System. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 25.2.1.1. In addition, each large facility or small generating facility larger than 2 MW proposed by a generation developer or merchant transmission developer, must also meet the NYISO Deliverability Interconnection Standard before it can become a qualified Installed Capacity Supplier or receive Unforced Capacity Deliverability Rights. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 25.3.1. The NYISO Deliverability Interconnection Standard is designed to ensure that the proposed project is deliverable throughout the New York Capacity Region where the project will interconnect. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 25.3.1.
If the proposed hydropower project is twenty (20) megawatts (MW) or more generation facility, or a merchant transmission facility the developer must file a Large Facility Interconnection Request (LFIR) with the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) in order to connect a new large facility to the New York State (NYS) Transmission System. A large facility is either a large generating facility or a merchant transmission facility. A large generating facility is a generating facility with the capacity of more than twenty (20) megawatts (MW). NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 30.1.
A generating facility is defined as the developer’s device for the production of electricity identified in the Interconnection Request. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 30.1. A merchant transmission facility is the developer’s device for transmission of electricity identified in the Interconnection Request, proposing to interconnect to the NYS Transmission System. NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) § 30.1.
If the facility is not a large generating facility or large merchant transmission facility, the developer should go to element 8-NY-b.9 – Does the Facility Fall Under NYISO’s Small Generator Interconnection Procedures (SGIP)?
8-NY-b.2 to 8-NY-b.3 – Is the Project a New Large Generating Facility or Merchant Transmission Facility?
NYISO Large Facility Interconnection Request:
If there are no modifications to an existing large facility or project currently in the interconnection process, the developer should initiate the Large Facility Interconnection Request process, see:
If NYISO determines that the modifications to the existing large facility or project currently in the interconnection process are material, the developer must initiate the Large Facility Interconnection Request process, see:
At least some of the small generator project’s output may be available to the wholesale market.
NYISO Transmission Expansion and Interconnection Manual, at § 3.4.1.1.
If the small generation project falls under NYISO’s SGIP, the developer must initiate the Small Generating Facility Interconnection Request process, see:
