Interconnection capacity, on the map
GIPS puts TARA's point-of-interconnection injection and withdrawal capacity results on an interactive map — meeting FERC Order 2023 heat-map requirements and showing interconnection customers where the grid can take new load, before they file.
Built for heat maps. Grown well beyond them.
GIPS began as a way to satisfy FERC Order 2023. Today it is a full interactive review environment for POI capacity results computed by TARA's Worst Cluster TrLim or FCITC.
Worst Cluster TrLim
Best for NRIS/firm capacity accounting for dispatch uncertainty near POI.
FCITC
For ERIS/NonFirm. Industry standard used by 100+ companies.
Hosting capabilities
Both generation and load hosting capabilities.
Multi-scenario review
Present multiple scenarios across study years, models, and calculation assumptions — side by side.
User-defined MW injection
Enter an injection or withdrawal amount and interactively report the resulting constraint flows.
POI injection & withdrawal capacity
Show available capacity at every point of interconnection, computed by Worst Cluster TrLim or FCITC.
Competing harmers on the map
Report competing harmer generators, including their locations, for any selected constraint.
Limiting constraints, located
Display each limiting constraint on the map — as a line or a filled circle by type and location.
Mitigation cost estimates
Estimate the cost of mitigating a constraint before an interconnection request is filed.
Three editions. One engine.
Every edition presents the same TARA results. Choose by who needs access — the public, your planners, or the engineer building the dataset.
