Evaluation and Coordination of Transmission and Generation Outages. The Parties analyze planned critical facility maintenance to determine its effects on the reliability of the Transmission System. The Parties will work together to resolve Outage conflicts and work with the facility owner(s), as necessary, to provide remedial steps. The Parties will notify each other of emergency maintenance and forced outages as soon as possible after these conditions are known. The Parties will evaluate the impact of emergency and forced outages on the Parties’ systems to develop remedial steps as necessary. Unforeseen changes in scheduled outages may require additional review. Each Party will consider the impact of these changes on the other Party’s system reliability in addition to its own. The Parties will contact each other as soon as possible if these changes result in unacceptable system conditions to develop remedial steps as necessary.
Evaluation and Coordination of Transmission and Generation Outages. The Parties will analyze planned critical facility maintenance to determine its effects on the reliability of the transmission system. Each Party’s outage analysis will consider the impact of its critical outages on the other Party’s system reliability, in addition to its own. On a weekly basis, daily if requested by one of the Parties, the operations planning staff of each Party shall jointly discuss any outages to identify potential impacts. These discussions should include an indication of either concurrence with the outage or identify significant impact due to the outage as scheduled. Neither Party has the authority to cancel the other Party’s outage (except transmission facilities interconnecting the two Parties’ transmission systems). However, the Parties will work together to resolve any identified outage conflicts. Consideration will be given to outage submittal times and outage criticality when addressing outage conflicts. If outage analysis indicates unacceptable system conditions, the Parties will work with one another and the facility owner(s), as necessary, to provide remedial steps to be taken in advance of proposed maintenance. If an operating procedure cannot be developed and a change to the proposed schedule is necessary based on significant impact, the Parties shall discuss the facts involved and make every effort to act on behalf of the other Party to effect the requested schedule change. If this change cannot be accommodated, the Party with the outage shall notify the impacted Party. A request to adjust a proposed outage date must include, identification of the facility(s) overloaded, and identify a similar time frame of more appropriate dates/times for the outage. The Parties will notify each other of emergency maintenance and forced outages as soon as possible after these conditions are known (not to exceed thirty (30) minutes). The Parties will evaluate the impact of emergency and forced outages on the Parties’ systems and work with one another to develop remedial steps as necessary. Outage schedule changes, both before or after the work has started, may require additional review. Each Party will consider the impact of these changes on the other Party’s system reliability, in addition to its own. The Parties will contact each other as soon as possible if these changes result in unacceptable system conditions and will work with one another to develop remedial steps as necessary.
