Onboard Overview

The first step in your Leap-powered grid services program is to onboard your customer’s devices or utility meters to the Leap platform. This will result in a unique Leap meter ID that will be used going forward to track their program enrollment and participation. There are two ways for these assets to be onboarded and their respective Leap meter IDs to be created:

• Partner-created meters
• Customer-authorized meters

The customer region and desired program will determine which option is appropriate. See below for more details.

Partner-Created Meters

For regions and programs in the table below, where utility data sharing is not required, partners can directly create meters on the Leap platform by sharing the required enrollment data for each program. For these programs, energy usage interval data needed for performance and settlement calculations is either provided by the ISO (e.g. ERCOT ERS) or is a device-level program where the partner provides this device interval data to Leap.

* Creating meters via API for Texas ERS is coming soon

Customer-Authorized Meters

The CAISO and NYISO programs in the table below require that customers authorize utility data sharing via Leap Connect in order to enroll. This data sharing gives Leap access to energy usage interval data in order to calculate event performance and settlements.
