Generator Availability Data System (GADS) Reporting Requirements

Generation Resources greater than or equal to 10 MW must submit their Generator Availability Data System (GADS) data into the MISO PowerGADS database through the MISO Market Portal.  Generation Resources less than 10 MW are not required to but may report their GADS data.  Generation Resources less than 10 MW that begin reporting GADS data must continue to report GADS data each Planning Year.  The XEFORd for new Generation Resources in service less than 12 full calendar months or units less than 10 MW that choose not to report will be the class average for the resource type.  A Generation Resource will use the class average value until 12 consecutive months of data is available.
 
More information on GADS Reporting can be found in the Resource Adequacy Business Practices Manual (BPM-011) and in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Data Reporting Instructions.
