Common use of ERIS Elections Clause in Contracts

ERIS Elections. A Large Facility that elects ERIS, and not XXXX, will not be able to become an eligible Installed Capacity Supplier or to receive Unforced Capacity Deliverability Rights. Such a Large Facility will be eligible to participate only in the energy and applicable ancillary service markets. When a Developer elects ERIS its project will be evaluated in the Interconnection Studies at full output, unless the Developer requests ERIS below the full generating capacity of a Large Generating Facility or full facility capacity for a Class Year Transmission Project. If the Developer requests ERIS below the full capacity of the Large Facility, the ISO shall study the Large Facility at the requested ERIS for purposes of Attachment Facilities, Distribution Upgrades, System Upgrade Facilities, and associated costs. However, if the maximum capacity that the Large Facility is capable of injecting into the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable) is limited (i.e., through the use of control system, power relay(s), or other similar device settings or adjustments), then the Developer must obtain the ISO’s and Connecting Transmission Owner’s agreement, with such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, that the manner in which the Developer proposes to implement such a limit will not adversely affect the safety and reliability of the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable). If the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner do not agree with the proposed manner to limit output, then the Developer can either withdraw its Interconnection Request or modify its Interconnection Request to specify the maximum capacity that the Large Facility is capable of injecting into the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable) without such limitations. The ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner, based on Good Utility Practice and related engineering considerations and after accounting for any control technology proposed by the Developer, may require further studies of the Large Facility at its full output to ensure the safety and reliability of the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable), with the additional study costs borne by the Developer. The ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner shall provide the Developer with an explanation of its determination to perform studies at the Large Facility’s full capacity before beginning such studies. If the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner determine that additional System Upgrade Facilities are necessary after the additional studies are complete, the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner must: (1) specify which additional System Upgrade Facilities costs are based on which studies; and (2) provide a detailed explanation of why the additional System Upgrade Facilities are necessary. The Developer may be responsible for additional System Upgrade Facilities and/or additional control technologies, as well as testing and validation of those technologies consistent with Article 6 of its Interconnection Agreement. The necessary control technologies and protection systems, as well as any potential penalties for exceeding the level of ERIS established in the executed, or requested to be filed unexecuted, Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement, shall be set forth in Appendix C of the executed, or requested to be filed unexecuted, Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement. When a Developer elects ERIS and interconnects under ERIS, the Developer may at a later date ask the ISO to reevaluate the Large Facility for XXXX by including the Large Facility in a Class Year Study or Expedited Deliverability Study.

When a Developer elects ERIS and interconnects under ERIS, the Developer may at a later date ask the ISO to reevaluate the Large Facility for XXXX by including the Large Facility in a the Open Class Year Study or Expedited to identify the System Deliverability StudyUpgrades, if any, needed for the Large Facility to be declared deliverable.

ERIS Elections. A Large Facility that elects obtains ERIS, and but not XXXX, will not be able permitted to become an eligible Installed Capacity Supplier or to receive Unforced Capacity Deliverability Rights. Such a Large Facility will be eligible to participate only in the energy Energy and applicable ancillary service Ancillary Services markets. When a Developer an Interconnection Customer elects ERIS ERIS, its project will be evaluated in the Interconnection Studies Cluster Study at full outputoutput (i.e., the maximum capacity the Facility is capable of injecting at the Point of Interconnection), unless the Developer Interconnection Customer requests ERIS below the full generating capacity Generating Facility Capacity of a Large Generating Facility or full facility capacity for a Class Year Cluster Study Transmission Project. If the Developer Interconnection Customer requests ERIS below the full capacity Generating Facility Capacity of the Large Facility, the ISO shall study the Large Facility at the requested ERIS for purposes of Attachment Facilities, Distribution Upgrades, System Upgrade Facilities, and associated costs. However, if the maximum capacity that the Large Facility is capable of injecting into at the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable) Point of Interconnection is limited (i.e., through the use of control system, power relay(s), or other similar device settings or adjustments), then the Developer Interconnection Customer must obtain the ISO’s and Connecting Transmission Owner’s agreement, with such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, that the manner in which the Developer Interconnection Customer proposes to implement such a limit will not adversely affect the safety and reliability of the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable). If the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner do not agree with the proposed manner to limit output, then the Developer Interconnection Customer can either withdraw its Interconnection Request or modify its Interconnection Request to specify the maximum capacity that the Large Facility is capable of injecting into the New York State Transmission System (or Distribution System as applicable) without such limitations.

When a Developer elects ERIS and an Interconnection Customer interconnects under ERISERIS only, the Developer Interconnection Customer may at a later date ask request XXXX in accordance with the ISO to reevaluate the Large Facility for XXXX by including the Large Facility in a Class Year Study or Expedited Deliverability StudyStandard Interconnection Procedures.
