Behind the Meter Generation is defined as a generation resource used to serve wholesale or retail load that is located behind a load CPNode. Market Participants may enroll Behind the Meter generation as a Load Modifying Resource using the Module E Capacity Tracking Tool. BTMG enrollment is required by March 1 prior to the Planning Year. However, to guarantee new resources can be used in a Load Serving Entity's FRAP, enrollment should be submitted no later than February 15 prior to the Planning Year. Only Certified Market Participants may enroll Behind the Meter Generation.
To enroll Behind the Meter generation, access the Module E Capacity Tracking Tool via the MISO Market Portal. If you do not have access to the MISO Market Portal, contact your Local Security Administrator for provisioning.
