Generation Data Loading (Reporting Entity/Self Reporting Users Only)

The Reporting Entity of the Asset reports generation data to TIGRS. Please ensure you are logged into the reporting entity account and not the general account if you have multiple accounts.  There are two ways to report data into the Registry:  Manual Generation Data Loading by Asset or via Batch Upload for multiple Assets simultaneously.

Generation Data Manual Loading:

1. Go to the Meter Data Loading module and click the ‘Asset’ hyperlink under the Asset column as shown below. 
2. In the Self-Reporting/Facility/Project Output Data Review screen, click the ‘Add New Output’ button.                     
3. In the Self-Reporting/Facility/Project Output Data Accept-Dispute screen, enter data for the required fields.          
4. Click the ‘Submit’ button.  
5. After clicking the ‘Submit’ button, a pop-up box will appear to confirm action. Click the ‘OK’ button to load the generation data for the asset.      

Note: Generation data that is loaded and that passes the feasibility validation will automatically be placed in “TIGRS Accepted” status for review.  Before RECs are issued, the Reporting Entity can either resubmit or delete Generation data. 

Generation Data Batch Upload:
