SDG&E submitted its FERC Order No. 2023 Compliance Filing on August 14, 2024 with a requested effective date of August 15, 2024. Accordingly, as of August 15, 2024, interconnection requests applying for the Independent Study Process (ISP) will no longer be accepted. The ISP was eliminated in the compliance filing. Study tracks still available include the Fast Track and Cluster Study Process.
