Common use of Provisional Interconnection Service Clause in Contracts

Provisional Interconnection Service. Upon the request of Interconnection Customer, and prior to completion of requisite Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, or System Protection Facilities TVA may execute a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement for limited Interconnection Service at the discretion of TVA based upon an evaluation that will consider the results of available studies. TVA shall determine, through available studies or additional studies as necessary, whether stability, short circuit, thermal, and/or voltage issues would arise if Interconnection Customer interconnects without modifications to the Generating Facility or Transmission System. TVA shall determine whether any Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, Distribution Upgrades, or System Protection Facilities that are necessary to meet the requirements of NERC, or any applicable Regional Entity for the interconnection of a new, modified and/or expanded Generating Facility are in place prior to the commencement of Interconnection Service from the Generating Facility. Where available studies indicate that such, Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, and/or System Protection Facilities that are required for the interconnection of a new, modified and/or expanded Generating Facility are not currently in place, TVA will perform a study, at the Interconnection Customer’s expense, to confirm the facilities that are required for Provisional Interconnection Service. The maximum permissible output of the Generating Facility in the Large Generator Interconnection Agreement shall be studied and updated [on a frequency determined by TVA and at the Interconnection Customer’s expense]. Interconnection Customer assumes all risk and liabilities with respect to changes between the provisional interconnection service and full interconnection service, including changes in output limits and Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, and/or System Protection Facilities cost responsibilities.
