The New York ISO Installed Capacity Manual (Based on Stage IA ISO Services Tariff approved 2-15-01) describes the following requirements for GADS data reporting by ISO members:

• GADS Data, or data equivalent to GADS Data, shall be submitted in accordance with the 82-character format provided in Attachment K of the Installed Capacity Manual.

• From the month of April 2001 forward, GADS Data for the previous month shall be submitted by the 20th day of each month.

MicroGADS can speed your submission of GADS Data to the New York ISO in the required format. It can also compute your availability factors, including EFORd.

The current version of MicroGADS Reporting and Analysis features the unforced capacity (EFORd) calculation that is mandatory for reporting to the New York ISO.

EFORd forms the basis for the Unforced Capacity markets.

Details regarding the Unforced Capacity calculation and its use can be viewed at the Unforced Capacity Discussion page.
