How long does a GO have to provide tap settings/ranges and impedance data to the TOP and transmission planner upon request?

A Generator Owner (GO) is required to provide tap settings/ranges and impedance data to the Transmission Operator (TOP) and the transmission planner within 30 calendar days upon request. This requirement is established to ensure that transmission planners and operators have access to accurate and current data that is vital for effective system operation, planning, and reliability. The timely provision of this information helps in assessing system conditions, performing studies, and making informed decisions regarding the reliable operation of the grid.

The 30-day timeframe strikes a balance between allowing GOs adequate time to gather and verify the necessary data, while also ensuring that such data is made available in a sufficiently prompt manner to support operational and planning needs. This time limit is designed to promote transparency and collaboration among entities in the Bulk Electric System, contributing to enhanced reliability and stability.
