Step-by-Step: Specifications
Step 4: Obtain Metering Documentation Specifications and
Meter Device ID(s) from CAISO.
Documentation specifications are available on the CAISO web site
at: http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/gcp/index.html
Your assigned CAISO Meter Engineer will provide you with device
ID’s for the CAISO certified meter(s).

• Missing, Inaccurate information, or
communication problems will “stop” the
process needed to validate the data.
• It is up to the “owner” to resolve all issues in
order to resume progress and to contact
CAISO meter engineering to verify that all
required data has been received.
• If this is not completed by FNM External Cut
Off date -15 Business Days, the resource will
be moved to the next model build
