What is the Alternative Technology Regulation (ATR) Pilot Program?
In response to FERC Order 890 regarding the provision of Regulation and Frequency services by non-generating resources, ISO-New England is conducting an Alternative Technology Regulation (ATR) Pilot Program. The goal of the ATR Pilot Program is to allow ISO-NE to identify the impact on the New England system of alternative technologies with new and unique performance characteristics that might previously have been unable to participate in the Regulation market and to allow the owners of the ATR resources to evaluate the technical and economic suitability of their technologies as market sources of Regulation service.
