Identification of Contingent Facilities. The ISO shall identify Contingent Facilities through the Cluster Study, and specify such Contingent Facilities in the Standard Interconnection Agreement. The method for identifying Contingent Facilities shall be sufficiently transparent as to why the ISO identifies Contingent Facilities and how they relate to the Cluster Study Project. Consistent with the analyses performed in the Cluster Study under Section 40.12, the ISO shall evaluate the impact on short circuit, thermal, voltage, or stability of unbuilt Attachment Facilities, Distribution Upgrades, System Upgrade Facilities, and/or System Deliverability Upgrades associated with Cluster Study Projects. The ISO shall identify those unbuilt facilities in the Cluster Baseline Assessment and the Cluster Project Assessment against which the Cluster Study Project is evaluated as Contingent Facilities if the impact on short circuit, thermal, voltage, or stability of the unbuilt facilities exceeds the de minimis standards set forth in Sections 40.12.2.5.1.1 through 40.12.2.5.

An Interconnection Customer may also request the ISO to provide the estimated costs and estimated in-service completion time of each identified Contingent Facility when this information is readily available and not commercially sensitive.
