Coordination of Transmission Planning Studies Regarding Reliability Transmission Projects Located Entirely Within One Region. This section addresses the process through which PJM and NYISO will coordinate the study of reliability transmission projects located entirely within one Region. The Regions agree to share information and data that arise in the performance of each Region’s respective planning activities as necessary or appropriate for effective coordination between the Regions, including the timely identification and notification of proposed reliability transmission projects to meet the Region’s reliability needs, according to the process set forth herein. For purposes of this section 35.10.7, the Region proposing a reliability transmission project to meet such Region’s regional reliability needs is referred to as the “proposing Region” and the Region adjacent to the “proposing Region” that may potentially be impacted by such proposal is referred to as the “potentially impacted Region.”
35.10.7.1 The Regions shall share their respective baseline reliability analysis undertaken as part of their regional reliability planning process no later than the time it is initially provided to the proposing Region’s stakeholders through the appropriate committee.
35.10.7.2 Based on its review of the proposing Region’s proposed reliability transmission project, the potentially impacted Region shall identify the potential violations, based upon planning or reliability criteria, including applicable transmission owner criteria then in effect, that, depending on how solved, including through the use of proposed regional transmission projects, could negatively impact reliability on the potentially impacted Region’s system.
35.10.7.3 The Regions shall discuss identified impacts and coordinate any special studies that need to be undertaken to analyze such impacts.
(a) Each Region shall be responsible for performing studies of potential impacts on its system. The Regions may agree on the most efficient way to perform the special studies on a case-specific basis, including which Region will conduct which study(ies).
(b) The Regions will provide to each other all of the technical information on their respective systems that is needed for each to perform the necessary studies.
(c) The Regions will coordinate the timing and conduct of such studies.
(d) Each Region will be responsible for all of its respective study costs related to the studies conducted under this coordinated study process.
35.10.7.4 Results of studies of impacts on the potentially impacted Region’s system will be submitted to the...
