Common use of Interconnection Requests Clause in Contracts

Interconnection Requests. An Interconnection Customer shall submit to Transmission Provider, during a Cluster Request Window, an Interconnection Request and a non-refundable application fee of $10,000. Interconnection Customer shall submit a separate Interconnection Request for each site and may submit multiple Interconnection Requests for a single site. Interconnection Customer must submit the application fee with each Interconnection Request even when more than one request is submitted for a single site. Interconnection Customer may submit Co-Located Resources as separate Interconnection Requests or a single Interconnection Request. Interconnection Customer may request a Point of Interconnection to be studied no later than the execution of the Phase One Cluster Study Agreement. For purposes of clustering Interconnection Requests, if Interconnection Customer proposes a Point of Interconnection, Transmission Provider will determine the Point of Interconnection at its sole discretion to improve: the reliability benefits, cost and/or benefits of the interconnection for the Cluster Area. In the event that Transmission Provider determines that a requested Point of Interconnection is not feasible or may need to be relocated, Transmission Provider will make reasonable efforts to consult with the impacted Interconnection Customer, so long as these meetings will not delay the issuance of the Phase One Cluster Study Report. Transmission Provider shall have a process in place to consider requests for Interconnection Service below the Generating Facility Capacity. These requests for Interconnection Service shall be studied at the level of Interconnection Service requested for purposes of Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades, and associated costs, but may be subject to other studies at the full Generating Facility Capacity to ensure safety and reliability of the system, with the study costs borne by Interconnection Customer. If after the additional studies are complete, Transmission Provider determines that additional Network Upgrade are necessary, then Transmission Provider must: (1) specify which additional Network Upgrade costs are based on which studies; and (2) provide a detailed explanation of why the additional Network Upgrades are necessary. Any Interconnection Facility and/or Network Upgrade costs required for safety and reliability also would be borne by Interconnection Customer. Interconnection Customers may be subject to additional control technologies as well as testing and validation of those technologies consistent with Article 6 of the LGIA. The necessary control technologies and protection systems shall be established in Appendix C of that executed LGIA.
