At its December 6, 2019 meeting, the Executive Committee of the New York State Reliability Council set the New York Control Area (NYCA)
Installed Reserve Margin (IRM) requirement for the May 1, 2020 to
April 30, 2021 Capability Year at 18.9%. This decision was based on
the NYSRC study, “New York Control Area Installed Capacity
Requirement for the Period May 2020 to April 2021.” The study report can be found at NYSRC NYCA ICR Reports.

Draft Reliability Rules Posted for Review and Comment:
PRR#146 1-20-20
New Reliability Rule -- NYISO Interconnection requirement studies shall
include, as applicable, special studies to examine the impacts of
dynamically active technologies.
Studies associated with the interconnection of dynamically active
transmission devices have been included in the NYISO's interconnection
process and periodic transmission planning/operating studies on an
ad-hoc basis.Based on the proliferation of inverter-based resources, as
well as applications of active-series/shunt compensation and HVDC
connections to the NYCA system, it is proposed to include a requirement
for special studies in the NYSRC Reliability Rules.
