Facility Registration

All facilities forming part of, or connected to the IESO-controlled grid must be registered with the IESO. In addition, organizations with facilities wishing to participate in the IESO-administered markets must register their facilities with the IESO.

The steps associated with registering your facilities are documented in Facility Registration, Maintenance and Deregistration Procedure (PDF: 457KB) and the Market Entry Step-by-Step Guide (PDF: 242KB).

Most of the information required for Facility Registration is presented in the form of supporting documents and forms associated with a facility.

Supporting Documents
As a Market Participant registering a facility, you are required to provide the following supporting documents:
Single line electrical diagram of your facility, annotated with monitored points and quantities Applies to all facilities
Connection Agreement If your facility is connected to the IESO-controlled grid or is an embedded generator
Operating or Agent Agreement If you are not the owner of the facility you are operating. The agreement is between the owner and the operator of the facility.
Facility Description Documents (FDD) If your facility is located in the IESO Control Area and is equipped with Special Protection Systems (SPS).


Mandatory Forms
You are also required to download, complete and submit the following forms:
Facility Profile  (IMO-FORM-1181) Applies to all facilities
Letter of Empowerment  (IMO-FORM-1141) Where the Registered Market Participant is not the Owner of the facility
Restoration Plan Participant Attachment  (IMO-FORM-1145) If your facility contains a Restoration Related Breaker

Data Monitoring and Voice Communications
IESO will perform an assessment of your data monitoring and voice communications infrastructure. For these purposes and depending on whether your facility is currently monitored by the IESO or not, you are required to download, complete and submit the following forms:

Facilities presently monitored by the IESO
IMO-FORM-1036 Data Monitoring and Voice Communications Capability for Facilities Presently Monitored by the IESO

New facilities or facilities not presently monitored by IESO
IMO-FORM-1037 Data Monitoring and Voice Communications Capability for New Facilities
IMO-FORM-1038 RTU Information Correlation List

Facility Contacts

IESO must also retain a complete list of applicable Facility Contacts for each of your facilities. If this list is not already available to the IESO, you should download, complete and submit the following form:

IMO-FORM-1176 Facility Contacts

Facility Maintenance and De-Registration - Change Control

This form is to be completed when submitting revised technical assessment forms to the IESO, as part of changes in facility registration (Facility Maintenance and De-Registration). The information helps IESO staff to identify what forms you have submitted, and the changes that have been made to your facility.

All changes must be compared to the technical assessment forms originally submitted for your facility. You must identify the revised forms and the nature of the change.
