Begin the project registration process by selecting the 'Register New Operational Project' hyperlink at the bottom of the Project Management module on your dashboard
Generating Units can be registered individually based on the revenue meter (Operating Rule 5.3) by selecting ‘Generating Unit Project’ Project Type or as multiple generators aggregated together that meet the Small Project Aggregation requirements (Operating Rule 4.3) under one project registration by selecting the ‘Aggregated Project’ Project Type. After selecting the ‘Register New Project’ link located in the Project Management module, select the Project Type:
- Generating Unit Project
- Aggregated Project
Selecting the ‘Aggregated Project’ radio button will deactivate certain fields that will be entered into the ‘Aggregated Generators Registration Information’ screen on the second page of the registration.
Aggregated Project registrations will allow the user to enter each Generating Unit represented by the Aggregated Project registration one at a time on the second page of the registration or using a CSV file. A CSV template is available on the NYGATS Informational website located with the other NYGATS documentation.
Once the Aggregated Project is submitted, it will be set to a Pending Status until it is approved by the NYGATS Administrator.
The next step is to add the appropriate documentation to the project record. The following documentation should be uploaded to the Documents/Attestations column on the Project Management Module:
- Designation of Responsible Party – for each project represented in the registration to authorize the right to register the project if the project is not owned by the Account Holder registering the project
- Documentation to verify Nameplate Capacity, In-service Date/Commercial Operation Date and fuel type (i.e. Interconnection Agreement, Contract, PPA)
After a submitted project has been approved by the NYGATS Administrator, the Annual Review date will be displayed for the project. This date will trigger an annual notification to the account holder to update the registration for any changes.
