Registering An Aggregated Asset

To register an aggregation, please ensure you are abiding by the section 6.3 of the operating procedure.

6.3 Small Project Reporting & Aggregation

A group of small Generating Units that are not metered together and do not share the same location but that are located within the same geographic region and otherwise share the same Essential Generating Characteristics can be registered as an Aggregated Project in the Registry under the following
conditions:
• The nameplate capacity of each Generating Unit is less than 250KW;

• The total nameplate capacity of the Aggregated Project cannot exceed 5 MW.

• The Generating Units being aggregated are located in the same geographic region (as determined by the Administrator);

• The Generating Units being aggregated utilize the same
Technology/Fuel Type.

If the Generating Units being aggregated became operational in different years, the Aggregated Project will be assigned the oldest operational year. When registering several Generating Units into one Project (Aggregated Project flag set to “yes”), the Administrator will:

(a) Collect project-level information that is shared across all Generating Units; and
(b) Collect Generating Unit-level registration information for each Generating Unit aggregated in the Aggregated Project 

1. To register a new Aggregated Project, go to the Asset Management module in TIGRS and click the ‘Register New Asset’ hyperlink as shown below:
2. In the New Asset Registration screen, select the Aggregated Project Asset Type and enter data into all fields denoted with an asterisk. Once complete, click the ‘Next’ button to continue with the asset registration.
3. In the Generator/Asset Information screen, User has two options to add aggregated units: Manual or Batch Upload. Here is Manual Upload option.
   
   • Manually add aggregated units. To do this, Click the ‘Add’ button and enter all the fields on the table to add the Aggregated Unit.
   • Repeat this step until all aggregated units are added
   • Once complete, click the ‘Next’ button to continue with the asset registration
4. Here is the Batch Upload Aggregated Units option
   • Create a CSV file and enter all the fields for each aggregated unit. Below are the fields that are required for the CSV file:
     1. GU Name
     2. GU Owner
     3. Nameplate Capacity (MW)
     4. COD (mm/dd/yyyy)
     5. Address
     6. City
     7. Zip Code
     8. Meter ID
     9. Meter Manufacturer
     10. Meter Type/Protocol         

     * Please avoid using quotation in these fields                                                     

1. • • • In the Generator/Asset Information screen, click the ‘Upload File’ button.
       • In the Upload Aggregated Generators screen, click the ‘Browse’ button to locate and select the upload file.                                           
       • Click the ‘Upload File’ button to upload aggregated units to the Generator/Project Information screen.                                             
       • Review the aggregated units uploaded to the Generator/Project Information screen.
       • Once complete, click the ‘Next’ button to continue with the asset registration.                          Note: If the ‘Overwrite’ checkbox is selected, the Batch upload file will overwrite any existing data that was previously loaded.
2. In the Generator/Asset Registration screen, enter data into all fields denoted with an asterisk and click the ‘Save."  Then if you are using APX TIGRS as your reporting entity, go to the web address bar. There will be a four digit number at the end which represents your generator ID number. You can use this as your reporting entity ID number. For any Reporting Entity, you can use the same method unless the reporting entity has asked you use another number.  Note: Under the Reporting Entity and State/Provincial/Voluntary Admin Access section, User must assign the Reporting Entity that is responsible for reporting generation data for the asset.
3. In the Asset Documents/Attestations, account holders are responsible for uploading these specific documents. Hit Next to move to the next page.
4. Once all the required data has been entered in Asset Registration, click the ‘I Agree’ button to agree to the APX REC Generator Attestation.
5. On the same page the account holder will fill out the signature section.
6. After User clicks the ‘Agreed and Submit for Approval’ button, a confirmation message appears to inform the User that the Asset has been created and is pending approval by the TIGRS Administrator. Note: At any time during this process, the User can click the ‘Save’ button and return to the Asset to complete the registration at a later time.  The User should only click the ‘Submit for Approval’ button when all the necessary information is entered and is ready for Asset to be created.
