  2. A Key Challenge for Renewables… • Capturing the environmental value • GIS: • Creates platform for monetization of the environmental value • Facilitates the ability of renewables generators to access an additional revenue stream or “green” premium

  3. In Addition the GIS… • Broadens market base for renewable generators • Facilitates green power markets • Allows large generators to access premium outside wholesale market • Offers particular benefits for intermittent and small and behind the meter generation

  4. Small and Behind the Meter Generation • GIS relies mainly on ISO MSS for generation data • However, ISO MSS does not capture data on most generators < 5 MW • GIS will accommodate small and behind the meter generators

  5. Treatment of Small and BTM Resources • Non-NEPOOL Generators • generating units with a nameplate capacity of 5 MW or less and do not provide separately metered data to the MSS can submit data for the creation of certificates • Non-NEPOOL Generator Representatives • Allows for aggregation of small generation • Can effectively bank generation from month to month • Data must be submitted 5 days before creation of certificates in each quarter

  6. Metering and Communication • Metering based on current NEPOOL Operating Procedure • Requires standard utility revenue-grade meter • Must record Wh, KWh, or MWh output • Must conform to ANSI standards • Generators can submit data: • Electronically directly to GIS • Manually or electronically to aggregator

  7. Issues/Opportunities • Need for compatible systems across pools • Additional benefits for renewable generators if GIS or GIS-like system is adopted at a regional/national level • FERC SMD and NERTO
