Projects that have a phased implementation schedule in their Generator Interconnection Agreement must be pre-approved by the CAISO to begin the PIR evaluation prior to 100 percent of the resource being commercial. A request for PIR Certification must be submitted by the generator owner and approved by the CAISO during the planning stage (prior to project design or contract execution) in order for the PIR Certification evaluation to occur prior to 100% of project capacity achieving COD. The CAISO will review and approve such requests on a case-by-case basis and will require the phasing proposal 1) to align with the interconnections studies and analysis conducted and 2) to be reflected in applicable interconnection documents.
