Facilities Study Procedures. The ISO shall coordinate the Facilities Study with the Connecting Transmission Owner and Affected System Operators, and with any other Affected System pursuant to Section 22.4.4. The ISO shall utilize existing studies to the extent practicable in performing the Facilities Study.
Facilities Study Procedures. IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, shall coordinate the Facilities Study with any Affected System pursuant to Section 3.4 above. IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, shall utilize existing studies to the extent practicable in performing the Facilities Study. IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, shall use Reasonable Efforts to complete the Facilities Study and issue a draft Facilities Study report to Interconnection Customer within ninety (90) calendar days after execution by both Parties of the Facilities Study Agreement. At the request of Interconnection Customer, or at any time IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, determines that it will not meet the time frame specified above for completing the Facilities Study, IPA shall notify Interconnection Customer as to the schedule status of the Facilities Study. If IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, is unable to complete the draft Facilities Study within the specified time period, IPA shall notify Interconnection Customer and provide an estimated completion date and an explanation of the reasons why additional time is required. Within ten (10) Business Days of providing a draft Facilities Study to Interconnection Customer, IPA and Interconnection Customer shall meet to discuss the draft Facilities Study. If a consultant approved by IPA was used to conduct the Facilities Study, that consultant will also attend the meeting to discuss the results of the study. Interconnection Customer may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the draft report, provide written comments to IPA. IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, shall issue the final Facilities Study report within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of Interconnection Customer’s comments or promptly upon receiving Interconnection Customer’s statement that it will not provide comments. IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, may reasonably extend such fifteen-day period upon notice to Interconnection Customer if Interconnection Customer’s comments require IPA, or a consultant approved by IPA, to perform additional analyses or make other significant modifications prior to the issuance of the final Facilities Study report.
Facilities Study Procedures. The Facilities Studies will include good faith estimates of the cost, determined in accordance with Tariff, Part VII, Subpart D, section 307(A)(5), (a) to be charged to each affected New Service Customer for the Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades that are necessary to accommodate each New Service Request evaluated in the study; (b) the time required to complete detailed design and construction of the facilities and upgrades; (c) a description of any site-specific environmental issues or requirements that could reasonably be anticipated to affect the cost or time required to complete construction of such facilities and upgrades. The Facilities Study will document the engineering design work necessary to begin construction of any required transmission facilities, including estimating the costs of the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the System Impact Study in accordance with Good Utility Practice and, when applicable, identifying the electrical switching configuration of the connection equipment, including without limitation: the transformer, switchgear, meters, and other station equipment; and the nature and estimated costs of Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades necessary to accommodate the New Service Request. For purposes of determining necessary Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades, the Facilities Study shall consider the level of Interconnection Service requested by the Project Developer unless otherwise required to study the full electrical capability of the Generating Facility or Merchant Transmission Facility due to safety or reliability concerns. The Facilities Study will also identify any potential control equipment for requests for Interconnection Service that are lower than the full electrical capability of the Generating Facility or Merchant Transmission Facility.
