Treatment of Performance Assurance in Connection with Interconnection Clause Samples

The 'Treatment of Performance Assurance in Connection with Interconnection' clause defines how performance standards and guarantees are managed when two parties' networks or systems are interconnected. It typically outlines the metrics, monitoring procedures, and remedies if performance falls below agreed thresholds, such as service credits or corrective actions. This clause ensures that both parties maintain reliable service levels at the interconnection point, thereby minimizing disputes and promoting accountability for network performance.

Treatment of Performance Assurance in Connection with Interconnection. Cost Estimates Upon Seller’s request, 75% of Performance Assurance associated with a Designated System will be refundable if, prior to the Energization of that Designated System, an Interconnection Customer (as defined in Section 466.30 of Title 83 of the Illinois Administrative Code) seeking to interconnect the Designated System receives from the interconnecting utility a non-binding estimate of costs to construct the interconnection facilities and any required distribution upgrades for that Designated System in an amount exceeding 30 cents per watt AC of the Designated System’s Proposed Nameplate Capacity. To obtain such refund, Seller’s request must be made to Buyer and IPA within 14 days of having received the subject interconnection cost estimate and must be accompanied by a) documentation substantiating the cost estimate and b) a request to withdraw the Designated System from the REC Contract (or, in the case of a REC Contract featuring a single Designated System, a request to terminate the REC Contract). Upon the recognition of such request and substantiation of the interconnection cost estimate applicable to the Designated System, Buyer shall remove the Designated System and the RECs associated with such Designated System from this REC Contract and refund 75% of the Performance Assurance associated with that Designated System. In all such cases, the remaining 25% of Performance Assurance associated with that Designated System would be permanently forfeited and could not be applied to a new SFA application for the Designated System. Upon removal of the Designated System, the affected Product Order(s), including Schedule A to Exhibit A and Schedule C to Exhibit A, will be revised to account for the removal of that Designated System, with all required information to be provided by IPA.”

Treatment of Performance Assurance in Connection with Interconnection. Cost Estimates. Commented [SD9]: I suggest better defining “the waitlist.” [Looking at P.A. 102-0662 at page 345, a possible definition could be the IPA’s applicable ordinal waitlist as of December 31, 2020.] There could potentially (maybe with low probability) be new ABP community solar waitlists in future years, but this contract could, conceivably (maybe also with low probability) still be actively used for new projects at that time.
