Interconnection Principles Clause Samples

The Interconnection Principles clause establishes the foundational rules and requirements for how two or more networks or systems will connect and interact with each other. Typically, this clause outlines the technical standards, operational procedures, and responsibilities of each party to ensure seamless and reliable interconnection. For example, it may specify the types of interfaces to be used, data exchange protocols, or maintenance obligations. Its core function is to ensure compatibility and interoperability between systems, thereby minimizing disruptions and clarifying expectations for all parties involved.
Interconnection Principles. (a) This SGIA provides for interconnection of a total capacity of 10 MW, resulting from the interconnection of the Western Antelope Dry Ranch Project, as described in Section 1 of this Attachment 5. The Interconnection Customer acknowledges that if the Interconnection Customer wishes to increase the amount of interconnection capacity provided pursuant to this SGIA, the Interconnection Customer shall be required to submit a new Interconnection Request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CAISO Tariff. (b) The costs associated with any mitigation measures required to third party transmission systems, which result from interconnection of the Western Antelope Dry Ranch Project to the Participating TO’s electrical system, are not reflected in this SGIA. The Participating TO shall have no responsibility to pay costs associated with any such mitigation measures. If applicable, the Interconnection Customer shall enter into an agreement with such third parties in accordance with Section 12.4 of the GIP to address any required mitigation. (c) In the event the Participating TO’s Interconnection Facilities are utilized to provide retail service to the Interconnection Customer in addition to the wholesale Interconnection Service provided herein, and the Interconnection Customer fails to make payment for such retail service in accordance with the Participating TO’s applicable retail tariffs, then the Participating TO’s Interconnection Facilities may be removed from service to the Interconnection Customer, subject to the notice and cure provisions of such retail tariffs, until payment is made by the Interconnection Customer pursuant to such retail tariffs. (d) Review by the Participating TO of the electrical specifications, design, construction, operation, or maintenance of the Western Antelope Dry Ranch Project or the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities shall not constitute any representation as to the economic or technical feasibility, operational capability, or reliability of such facilities. The Interconnection Customer shall in no way represent to any third party that any such review by the Participating TO of such facilities, including, but not limited to, any review of the design, construction, operation, or maintenance of such facilities by the Participating TO, is a representation by the Participating TO as to the economic or technical feasibility, operational capability, or reliability of the Western Antelope Dry Ranch Project or...
