Interconnection Principles. 8.1 SCE, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ expense, shall design, engineer, procure, construct, install, own, operate and maintain the SCE-Constructed Interconnection Facilities, including application to obtain any regulatory approvals required to be obtained by SCE. 8.2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at its sole expense, shall design, engineer, procure, construct, and install the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities in accordance with SCE’s substation standards and specifications, which have been provided by SCE to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. 8.3 In accordance with Section 7.5 of the WDAT, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall at all times indemnify, defend and savehold SCE harmless from any and all damages, losses, claims, (including claims and actions relating to injury or to death of any person or damage to property), demands, suits, recoveries, costs and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties, arising out of or resulting from ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ construction of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities, except in the case of negligence or intentional wrongdoing by SCE. 8.4 Prior to commencing construction of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities, SCE shall review ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ construction documents and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall obtain SCE’s approval of the design, engineering, and layout of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. SCE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review such documents and respond to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ within thirty (30) calendar days. 8.5 During construction of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities, SCE shall have the right to access the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities to conduct inspections of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. In the event SCE accesses the construction site, SCE shall adhere to prudent utility practice. 8.6 If, at any time during construction, SCE determines that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇- Constructed Interconnection Facilities do not meet SCE’s standards and specifications, as provided to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ by SCE pursuant to the letter agreement between the Parties dated May 16, 2006, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be obligated to remedy such deficiencies. 8.7 SCE shall apply, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ sole expense, to obtain any regulatory approvals required to be obtained by SCE for the construction, operation and maintenance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. 8.8 Following completion of construction and prior to energization of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will advise SCE and SCE shall provide final inspection and field testing of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇- Constructed Interconnection Facilities, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall obtain SCE’s acceptance for transfer of ownership, operation and maintenance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. 8.9 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver to SCE “as-built” drawings, information, and any other documents that are required by SCE to assure that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities are built to the standards and specifications required by SCE within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Commercial Operation Date. 8.10 SCE and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute a title, transfer, assignment and assumption agreement which provides for the transfer of ownership, at no cost to SCE, of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities (including all applicable warranties) from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to SCE and shall facilitate and provide reasonable assistance in order for SCE to obtain the necessary land easements to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities and the SCE-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. Ownership of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇- Constructed Interconnection Facilities will not be transferred from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to SCE nor will the Interconnection Facilities be energized until such necessary land easements are obtained by SCE. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall obtain manufacturer’s standard warranties for major substation equipment which are transferable directly to SCE. 8.11 Following the transfer of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities to SCE, SCE shall own, operate and maintain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. 8.12 ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at its sole expense, shall engineer, design, procure, construct, install, own, operate and maintain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities. 8.13 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall connect the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities with SCE’s electrical system in accordance with all applicable ISO, WECC and NERC criteria, SCE specifications, and Good Utility Practice. 8.14 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall acquire all permits and other approvals in addition to completing all environmental impact studies necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall include the Interconnection Facilities in all such environmental impact studies. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide the results of such studies and approvals to SCE for use in SCE’s application(s) to obtain any regulatory approvals required to be obtained by SCE for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Interconnection Facilities. 8.15 At SCE’s request, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide to SCE the electrical specifications and design drawings pertaining to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities for SCE’s review prior to finalizing the design and before beginning construction work based on such specifications and drawings. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide to SCE reasonable advance written notice of any changes in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities and provide to SCE specifications and design drawings of any such changes for SCE review and approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. SCE may require modifications to such specifications and designs as it deems necessary to allow SCE to operate its electric system in accordance with Good Utility Practice. 8.16 SCE shall have the right to review and consult with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ regarding ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ construction schedule. 8.17 SCE shall have the right to inspect the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities prior to initial operation upon reasonable advance notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at its option, may be present at such inspection. 8.18 The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to construct, successfully test, and declare ready for service the Interconnection Facilities on or before October 1, 2007. However, the Parties understand and acknowledge that such date is only an estimate and that equipment and material lead times, outage coordination, regulatory approvals, or other unforeseen events could delay the actual Interconnection Facilities In-Service Date beyond October 1, 2007. The actual Interconnection Facilities In-Service Date was February 19, 2008. 8.19 The maximum capacity of the Interconnection Facilities made available by SCE to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the purpose of delivering energy and other services to the ISO shall be 45 MW. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ wishes to increase the amount of Interconnection capacity provided pursuant to this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be required to submit a new application for Iinterconnection in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ISO WDATTariff. 8.20 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide SCE advance notice prior to making any changes to the generation or power transformation facilities and equipment which comprise the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall notify SCE prior to the date when any such changes are contemplated to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities so that SCE and the ISO can evaluate any potential system impacts which may occur as a result of such changes and whether such changes will require a new application pursuant to the WDATISO Tariff. Failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to provide SCE advance notice of changes to the generation or power transformation equipment and facilities comprising the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities may result in SCE’s termination of this Agreement. 8.21 The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities and applicable SCE- Constructed Interconnection Facilities will be located on property which is leased by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at its sole expense, shall perform all substation site preparation, including subsurface work, for the location of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇- Constructed Interconnection Facilities and applicable SCE-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause to be granted easements to SCE for the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, at no cost to SCE, for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Constructed Interconnection Facilities and applicable SCE-Constructed Interconnection Facilities. SCE and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall make all arrangements necessary to effectuate such easements. 8.22 The costs associated with any mitigation measures required to third party transmission systems resulting from the Iinterconnection of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities to SCE’s electrical system are not reflected in this Agreement. Such costs, if any, shall be the sole responsibility of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. As of the date of execution of this Agreement, the Parties are not aware of any mitigation measure requirements for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities.
