Grid Connection Agreement Sample Clauses

A Grid Connection Agreement is a contractual arrangement that governs the terms under which a facility, such as a power plant or renewable energy installation, connects to the electricity grid. This agreement typically outlines technical requirements, responsibilities for infrastructure upgrades, and ongoing operational obligations for both the grid operator and the connecting party. For example, it may specify the maximum capacity allowed, metering arrangements, and procedures for maintenance or disconnection. Its core practical function is to ensure a safe, reliable, and clearly defined process for integrating new energy sources into the grid, thereby minimizing disputes and technical risks.
Grid Connection Agreement. 2.1.1 The App lica nt subm itte d a grid app lica tion to Natio nal Grid Ele ctricity System Operator Lim ite d (NGESO), the system operator of NETS, in Ju ly 2020 to connect the Schem e to the NETS at ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 400kV substatio n owned by Natio nal Grid Ele ctricity Transm ission (NGET). 2.1.2 ▇▇▇▇▇ then worked with NGET to produce a connection offer wh ich was received by the App lica nt in October 2020 (NGESO reference: A/NGET/ CGCL/20/ COTT-EN(0)). 2.1.3 The connection offer was accepted in the form of a Bilateral Connection Agree m ent (BCA) between the App lica nt and NGESO, a llo win g fo r a Transm is s io n Entry Capacity (TEC) of 600MW to export and im port from the NETS. This was entered into in Ja nuary 2021. The acceptance of the connection offer dem onstrates that a connectio n at the Po in t of Connectio n is techn ica lly and fin ancia lly via b le . 2.1.4 As a requirem ent of the acceptance of the grid connection offer the Ap p lica nt m ust also agree to adhere to the Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC), the contractual fram ework in which the App lica nt can connect and use the NETS. A CUSC Acce ssion ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ent was also entered in to in Ja nuary 2021. 2.1.5 The Grid Connection ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ent a llo ws the Ap p lica nt to export the e le ctricity produced at the four Site s, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1, 2, 3a and 3b, not to exceed 600MW. It also allows for the im port of up to 600MW of e le ctrical energy to be stored in an Energy Sto rage Facility (for the purposes of the App lica tion, th is is assum ed to ▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ battery techno logy and therefore referred to as a ‘Ba ttery Energy Storage Sys tem ’or ‘▇▇▇▇’ throughout th is App lica tion), to be exported at a diffe rent ▇▇▇ e , back to the NETS.

Grid Connection Agreement. In 2011, a range of possible locations where ICOL’s Offshore Wind Farm could connect to the NETS were identified through an iterative process involving ICOL, National Grid and the relevant onshore Transmission Owners, hereafter described as the Connection Infrastructure Options Note (CION) process. This process included consideration of locations at Arbroath and Tealing in Angus, several locations in East Lothian such as New Branxton, Cockenzie and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rig and locations in the North East of England at Blyth and Hawthorn Pit. The principle criteria set out by the CION process to be used to assess these options were: • Environmental considerations; • Economics of overall NETS design (including the OfTO system); • Programme of works and contract dates; • NETS capability, constraints and requirements for wider improvement works; • Economically efficiency for the UK electricity consumer; and • Optimal nationwide electrical solutions. Following the conclusion of this process, in January 2012 ▇▇▇▇ was able to offer ICOL a grid connection with a connection point at the existing grid substation in Cockenzie. Subsequently ICOL accepted the grid connection offer. This connection point was reviewed again in 2013 based upon updated assumptions and design information, with the connection point remaining at the existing Cockenzie substation. The grid connection dates within the NGET agreement were varied in 2017 to reflect revised project timescales; during this process NGET were required to assess if Cockenzie remains as the most appropriate point of connection, or if another point of connection should be offered. The outcome of the offer variation process was that the point of connection remains at Cockenzie substation.

Grid Connection Agreement. 4 During 2011, a range of possible locations where the Wind Farm could connect to the NETS were identified through an iterative process involving ICOL, National Grid and the relevant onshore Transmission Owners, hereafter described as the Connection Infrastructure Options Note (CION) process. This process included consideration of locations at Arbroath and Tealing in Angus, several locations in East Lothian such as New Branxton, Cockenzie and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rig and locations in the North East of England at Blyth and Hawthorn Pit, as illustrated in Figure 4.1. 5 The principle criteria used to assess these options were: • Environmental considerations; • Economics of overall NETS design (including the OfTO system); • Programme of works and contract dates; • NETS capability, constraints and requirements for wider improvement works; • Economically efficiency for the UK electricity consumer; and • Optimal nationwide electrical solutions.

Grid Connection Agreement. 2.1.1 The Applicant submitted a grid application to National Grid Electricity System Operator Limited (NGESO), the system operator of NETS, in April 2019 to connect the Scheme to the NETS at West Burton 400kV substation owned by National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET). 2.1.2 NGESO then worked with NGET to produce a connection offer which was received by the Applicant in August 2019 (NGESO reference: A/LSPL192904-EN(0)). 2.1.3 The connection offer was accepted in the form of a Bilateral Connection Agreement (BCA) between the Applicant and NGESO, allowing for a Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) of 480MW export to and 20MW import from the NETS. This was entered into in November 2019. The acceptance of the connection offer demonstrates that a connection at the Point of Connection is technically and financially viable. 2.1.4 As a requirement of the acceptance of the grid connection offer the Applicant must also agree to adhere to the Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC), the contractual framework in which the Applicant can connect and use the NETS. A CUSC Accession Agreement was also entered into in November 2019. 2.1.5 The Grid Connection Agreement allows the Applicant to export the electricity produced at the three Sites, West Burton 1, 2, and 3, not to exceed 480MW. It also allows for the import of up to 20MW of electrical energy to be stored in an Energy Storage Facility (for the purposes of the Application, this is assumed to employ battery technology and therefore referred to as a ‘Battery Energy Storage System’ or ‘▇▇▇▇’ throughout this Application), to be exported at a different time, back to the NETS.
