GIS (Generation Information System) is an emissions reporting and tracking tool that monitors environmental attributes of generated electricity. For each megawatt-hour of electricity generated by individual units, a certificate is assigned that records the attributes of that power. These certificates are then used by electricity suppliers to differentiate their products for consumers, to provide the information required on energy disclosure labels, and to comply with state and regional Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and emissions performance standards. The GIS Costs represent the expenses incurred by the ISO for the vendor APX administered GIS, and the associated charges of the project leader and other internal ISO staff's time as identified by the project leader. GIS Costs settlement information is provided under the Standard Settlement reporting structure.
Primary provisions for the GIS Costs settlement are located in the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS) and in the NEPOOL Participants Committee 6/21/02 Meeting Agenda, Attachment #1, Allocation of Costs Related to Generation Information System.
GIS Costs payments are distributed to the ISO.
