Affected System Upgrades Clause Samples
The Affected System Upgrades clause defines the responsibilities and procedures for upgrading systems that are impacted by a project or activity. Typically, this clause outlines which party is responsible for identifying necessary upgrades, obtaining approvals, and covering associated costs. For example, if a new facility connects to a utility grid, upgrades to the grid infrastructure required to accommodate the new connection would fall under this clause. Its core function is to ensure that all necessary system improvements are addressed and allocated fairly, preventing disputes and ensuring the project can proceed without technical or regulatory obstacles.
Affected System Upgrades. The Interconnection Facilities Study for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Project (Q1015) identified the ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation as an Affected System. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Project is owned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇”), which is an affiliate of the Interconnection Customer. In particular, the interconnection of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Project will require the need for DTT between the collector substation for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar project (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation”) and the ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation. The related Affected System Upgrades at the ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation include: - engineering of the relay upgrade required for the DTT; - procurement of the relay and minor wiring materials required; - installation and testing of the relay at the ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation site; and - review by Connecting Transmission Owner. The Interconnection Customer has agreed with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that it will perform the Affected System Upgrades work associated with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Project at the ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Collector Substation under the terms of this Agreement, that it will reimburse the Connecting Transmission Owner for any oversight costs concerning the Affected System Upgrades work under the terms of this Agreement, and that Interconnection Customer will separately address with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ any cost reimbursement as between the two entities concerning the Affected System Upgrades work. If the Small Generating Facility or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Project is terminated or is delayed in a manner that impacts the scope or timing of the Affected System Upgrades work, the Interconnection Customer shall coordinate with the NYISO, National Grid, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concerning any required modifications to the Affected System Upgrades, and the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Interconnection Customer shall amend this Agreement to reflect any changes. Interconnection Customer shall be responsible for the design, engineering, procurement, and installation of the Affected System Upgrades, subject to Connecting Transmission Owner’s oversight. The cost estimate (+30%/-15%, in 2023 dollars) of the Affected System Upgrades is $180,000.

Affected System Upgrades. 3.1.1 GTC shall design, procure, construct, install, and own the Affected System Upgrades.
3.1.2 Generator shall reimburse GTC for all costs of the design, procurement, construction and installation of the Affected System Upgrades pursuant to Section 3.1, and all related costs and expenses, including but not limited to, all legal, administrative, accounting and other costs that GTC would not have incurred but for the Generator Interconnection to the Transmission Provider (which is interconnected with the ITS and the GTC System). GTC shall ▇▇▇▇ Generator for such costs in accordance with Section 9.1, and Generator shall be responsible for payment in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement for all GTC Work. GTC shall perform all GTC Work in accordance with Good Utility Practice.
Affected System Upgrades the additions, modifications, and upgrades to the GTC System set forth in Appendix A of this Agreement, which are required in order to accommodate the Generator Interconnection and mitigate the Adverse System Impacts, as explained in the Facilities Study.
Affected System Upgrades. The Affected System Upgrades shall include another 115 kV breaker and two disconnect switches to isolate Exelon West Medway, LLC’s existing generating facility (Unit J-3) from the Shared Facilities described above, as well as associated conductors, support structures, and ancilliary equipment.

Affected System Upgrades. The Interconnection Customer is responsible to enter into a Facilities Construction Agreement with Transmission Provider and Affected System Owner for the following Affected System Upgrades: For J1180:
i. Upgrade relaying at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ terminal for the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 345 kV transmission line to be compatible with the relaying to be installed at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ switching station.
ii. Add OPGW to the AEP owned segment of the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 345 kV transmission line to provide a communications path for the relaying.
iii. Upgrade facilities on Ameren and AEP-owned ends of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 345kV line to relieve overloads and reconfigure circuit. For J1475:
i. Reconductor/rebuild 0.82 miles of ACAR ~ 1024.5 ~ 30/7 ~ RAIL1 conductor section 5 on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ – J1180 Tap 345 kV line Despite being a signatory to this GIA, the responsibilities for Affected System Upgrades are those of the Interconnection Customer, not Transmission Owner. Transmission Owner takes no position on the upgrade identified in this Appendix A Section 7(a), and this section creates no obligation nor enforceable right on behalf of Transmission Owner.
