Effective July 3, 2024 (Revision 34), ISO-NE’s Operating Procedure No. 14 (OP-14) outlines critical technical requirements for:

Generators & Dispatchable Asset Related Demands (DARDs)
Continuous Storage Facilities (CSFs)
Demand Response Resources (DRRs)
Alternative Technology Regulation Resources (ATRRs)

This includes rigorous expectations for telemetry, revenue metering, dynamic modeling, dispatch communications, voltage/reactive control, and more.

Non-compliance may result in:

Market participation delays
Testing rejections
Financial penalties
Disqualification from ISO dispatch

Q1: What is ISO-NE OP-14?
OP-14 outlines the technical performance, telemetry, and communications requirements for generators and resource types participating in ISO New England’s grid and wholesale market operations.
Q2: Who is required to comply with OP-14?
All grid-connected generators, CSFs, DRRs, ATRRs, and DARDs must comply with OP-14, including those under FERC jurisdiction and smaller DERs aggregated under a lead asset.
Q3: How early should I begin the OP-14 compliance process?
Start at least 120 days before commercial operation or system changes to allow time for modeling, testing, telemetry setup, and ISO validation.
Q4: What services does Keentel Engineering offer for OP-14?
We handle everything from dynamic modeling, AVR/gov testing, telemetry configuration, dispatch comms, and DE role fulfillment to submission coordination with ISO.
Q5: What are the risks of non-compliance?
Delays in commissioning, failed asset registration, financial penalties, or loss of dispatch eligibility.
Q6: Can Keentel assist with OP-18 and OP-12 coordination?
Yes. We provide integrated compliance support for OP-18 (telemetering/meters) and OP-12 (voltage/reactive support), aligning systems to ensure cross-procedure compliance.
