Big changes are coming for renewable energy projects in North America. Starting in May 2025, NERC will require all inverter-based resources (IBRs) with an aggregate nameplate capacity of 20 MVA or more—connected at 60 kV or higher—to register as a Generator Owner (GO) and/or. . The Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Registration Initiative is closing a critical reliability gap by targeting unregistered IBRs connected to the bulk power system (BPS). These unregistered resources materially affect the BPS but are not subject to NERC Reliability Standards. In response to FERC's. . The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order in 2022 directing the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to identify and register owners and operators of currently unregistered inverter-based resources (also known as “IBRs”) that are connected to the bulk power. . Some utilities or local governments may use the Energy Commission's solar equipment lists during their interconnection or permit application processes. Eligible applicants must not have any PV modules or inverters already registered with EPEAT. The PRIME Prize consists of two phases, spanning two and a half years.
