Common use of Coordinated System Planning Clause in Contracts

Coordinated System Planning. The primary purpose of coordinated system planning is to ensure that coordinated analyses are performed to identify expansions or enhancements to transmission system capability needed to maintain reliability, address public policy requirements, improve operational performance, or enhance the efficiency of electricity markets. Any such expansions or enhancements shall be described in a Coordinated System Plan. Each Party shall engage in such transmission planning activities, including expansion plans, system impact studies, and generator interconnection studies, as are necessary to fulfill its obligations under its agreements and open access transmission tariff (“OATT”). Such planning shall conform to applicable reliability requirements of NERC, applicable regional reliability councils, or any successor organizations, and all applicable requirements of federal, state, or provincial laws or regulatory authorities. Each Party agrees to prepare a regional transmission planning report and document the procedures, methodologies, and business rules that are utilized in preparing and completing this transmission planning report. The Parties further agree to share, on an ongoing basis, information that arises in the performance of such single party planning activities as is necessary or appropriate for effective coordination between the Parties, including, in addition to the information sharing requirements of Sections 9.2 and 9.3, information on requests received from generation resources that plan on permanently retiring or suspending operation consistent with the timelines of each Party’s OATT for such studies, and the identification of proposed transmission system enhancements that may affect the Parties’ respective systems. On an annual basis, the Parties agree to review Transmission Issues identified by each Party or any Third Party. During an ongoing Coordinated System Plan study, the Parties may review Transmission Issues identified by each Party or any Third Party upon agreement of the JPC. This annual review of Transmission Issues will be administrated by the JPC, in coordination with the IPSAC, to determine the need for a Coordinated System Plan study.
