Common use of Adverse System Impact Clause in Contracts

Adverse System Impact. The Public Utility is responsible for identifying the possible Affected Systems and coordinating with those identified Affected Systems, to the extent reasonably practicable, to allow the Affected System owner an opportunity to identify Adverse System Impacts on its Affected System, and to identify what mitigation activities or upgrades may be required on the Public Utility’s system or on the Affected System to address impacts on Affected Systems and accommodate a Community Solar Project. Such coordination with Affected System owners shall include inviting Affected System owners to scoping meetings between the Public Utility and the Applicant and providing the Affected System owner with study results and other information reasonably required and requested by the Affected System owner to allow the Affected System owner to assess impacts to its system and determine required mitigation, if any, for such impacts. The Parties acknowledge that the Public Utility cannot compel the participation of the Affected System owner and that the Public Utility is not itself responsible for identifying impacts or mitigation associated with an Affected System. The actual cost of any actions taken to address the Adverse System Impacts, including overheads, shall be directly assigned to the Interconnection Customer. The Interconnection Customer may be entitled to financial compensation from other Public Utilities or other Interconnection Customers who, in the future, utilize the upgrades paid for by the Interconnection Customer, to the extent allowed or required by the Commission. Such compensation will only be available to the extent provided for in the separate rules or Commission order. If the Parties have actual knowledge of an Adverse System Impact on an Affected System, the Applicant shall not interconnect and operate its Community Solar Project in parallel with the Public Utility’s system, and the Public Utility shall not authorize or allow the continued interconnection or parallel operation of the Community Solar Project, unless and until such Adverse System Impact has been addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Affected System owner.
