Affected Systems Coordination Sample Clauses

Affected Systems Coordination. The CAISO cannot study comprehensively the impacts of the Generating Facility on the transmission systems of Affected System operators. The CAISO does not have detailed information about Affected Systems on a transmission- element level, nor does the CAISO know the details of the various reliability and operating criteria applicable to the Affected Systems. In addition, because the operation of transmission systems and NERC reliability standards change over time, the CAISO cannot presume to know all of the impacts of these changes on Affected Systems. As such, the CAISO contacted all potentially Affected Systems to inquire whether they are impacted by the Generating Facility’s interconnection to the CAISO Controlled Grid. The CAISO provided notice to the Interconnection Customer of the Identified Affected Systems for this Generating Facility. To ensure a safe and reliable interconnection to the CAISO Controlled Grid, six (6) months before the Initial Synchronization Date of the Generating Facility, the Interconnection Customer shall provide documentation to the CAISO, in accordance with Article 1.5.4 of the Agreement, confirming that the Identified Affected System operators have been contacted by the Interconnection Customer, and (i) that any system reliability impacts have been addressed (or that there are no system impacts), or (ii) that the Interconnection Customer has taken all reasonable steps to address potential reliability system impacts with the Identified Affected System operator but has been unsuccessful.
