Partner Name on Monitoring Website: The partner this system is registered under in SolarNOC.Ģ. The sheet will ask for the following information:ġ. Fill out the Reporting Setup Form and send to do I fill out the Reporting Setup Form?Īfter the GATS-PJM registration is complete and the LGate™ monitoring equipment has been installed, the last step is to submit a reporting setup sheet, which is attached at the end of this article. When registering the system, designate Locus Energy as the Third Party Reporter Register the system with the GATS PJM program. The following 3 steps must be completed for Locus to begin reporting to GATS: This information is then used by GATS in order to award renewable energy certificates to the account holder for a given renewable energy system. The LGate™ solar production meter records generation data at 5 minute intervals, which the Locus Energy software platform then aggregates and submits monthly to the GATS PJM-EIS program. Read more about the pilot and its results from the Energy Web Foundation.This document outlines the basic reporting process and the information Locus Energy needs to report SREC data for your PV system to the GATS-PJM incentive program. PJM-EIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of PJM Connext, itself a subsidiary of PJM Interconnection. Seller participants posted requests on the Bulletin Board based on actual RECs in their respective GATS accounts and buyer participants posted their REC bids based on their procurement needs.Īny matches made between bids and requests then triggered notifications for participants to confirm if they wanted to complete any REC transfers, where completed trades would link back to the legacy GATS to update the buyer’s and seller’s respective accounts.ĭuring the pilot, the transactions were purely tests, so there was no financial settlement.


In the spring of 2021, five PJM subscribers tested the pilot GATS Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is a place on GATS were buyers and sellers of these certificates, called RECs, can interact (with the actual buying or selling of the certificates remaining the responsibility of each party in bilateral agreements).

GATS is a paid subscription service that creates and tracks a generator-specific electronic certificate for every megawatt-hour of electricity produced by a generator. The pilot tested Energy Web Foundation’s Energy Web Origin, which is a toolkit for renewable energy and carbon markets to create new functionality for the GATS Bulletin Board. PJM Environmental Information Services, Inc. (PJM-EIS) and the Energy Web Foundation recently completed a year-long collaboration to develop and test a blockchain-based tool for the Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS) administered by PJM-EIS.
