Interconnection Customer Option to Build Clause Samples

The "Interconnection Customer Option to Build" clause allows the customer seeking to connect to a utility's transmission system to construct certain interconnection facilities themselves, rather than having the utility perform the work. Typically, this option applies to specific facilities or upgrades identified in the interconnection agreement, and the customer must follow the utility's standards and specifications during construction. This clause provides flexibility and can expedite project timelines by enabling customers to manage construction directly, thereby addressing potential delays or resource constraints on the utility's side.
Interconnection Customer Option to Build. If the date designated for RTU installation in Attachment 4 of this Agreement is not met by Connecting Transmission Owner, Interconnection Customer shall have the option to assume responsibility for the installation of the RTU. Except for the RTU, Interconnection Customer shall have no right to construct any other Connecting Transmission Owner facilities under this option. If Interconnection Customer assumes responsibility for the installation of the RTU by providing five (5) days written notice to Connecting Transmission Owner, (1) Interconnection Customer shall engineer, procure equipment, and construct the RTU (or portions thereof) using Good Utility Practice and using standards and specifications provided in advance by Connecting Transmission Owner attached hereto as Attachment 11 (2) Interconnection Customer's engineering, procurement and construction of the RTU shall comply with all requirements of law to which Connecting Transmission Owner would be subject in the engineering, procurement or construction of the RTU; (3) Connecting Transmission Owner shall review and approve the engineering design, equipment acceptance tests, and the construction of Connecting Transmission Owner’s RTU; (4) Prior to commencement of construction, Interconnection Customer shall provide to Connecting Transmission Owner a schedule for construction of Connecting Transmission Owner’s RTU, and shall promptly respond to requests for information from Connecting Transmission Owner;
