Our turnkey services are built around accuracy, reliability, and regulatory alignment, helping you avoid costly delays and secure your project’s place in ISO-NE markets.
Why OP-14 Compliance Matters
Effective July 3, 2024 (Revision 34), ISO-NE’s Operating Procedure No. 14 (OP-14) outlines critical technical requirements for:
- Generators & Dispatchable Asset Related Demands (DARDs)
- Continuous Storage Facilities (CSFs)
- Demand Response Resources (DRRs)
- Alternative Technology Regulation Resources (ATRRs)
This includes rigorous expectations for telemetry, revenue metering, dynamic modeling, dispatch communications, voltage/reactive control, and more.
Non-compliance may result in:
- Market participation delays
- Testing rejections
- Financial penalties
- Disqualification from ISO dispatch

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ISO-NE OP-14?
OP-14 outlines the technical performance, telemetry, and communications requirements for generators and resource types participating in ISO New England’s grid and wholesale market operations.
Q2: Who is required to comply with OP-14?
All grid-connected generators, CSFs, DRRs, ATRRs, and DARDs must comply with OP-14, including those under FERC jurisdiction and smaller DERs aggregated under a lead asset.
Q3: How early should I begin the OP-14 compliance process?
Start at least 120 days before commercial operation or system changes to allow time for modeling, testing, telemetry setup, and ISO validation.
Q4: What services does Keentel Engineering offer for OP-14?
We handle everything from dynamic modeling, AVR/gov testing, telemetry configuration, dispatch comms, and DE role fulfillment to submission coordination with ISO.
Q5: What are the risks of non-compliance?
Delays in commissioning, failed asset registration, financial penalties, or loss of dispatch eligibility.
Q6: Can Keentel assist with OP-18 and OP-12 coordination?
Yes. We provide integrated compliance support for OP-18 (telemetering/meters) and OP-12 (voltage/reactive support), aligning systems to ensure cross-procedure compliance.
