Interconnection System Impact Study Agreement. The form of agreement contained in Appendix 7 of the Standard Small Generator Interconnection Procedures for conducting the Interconnection System Impact Study. NERC – The North American Electric Reliability Corporation or its successor organization. Network Capability Interconnection Standard (“NC Interconnection Standard”)– The minimum criteria required to permit the Interconnection Customer to interconnect in a manner that avoids any significant adverse effect on the reliability, stability, and operability of the New England Transmission System, including protecting against the degradation of transfer capability for interfaces affected by the Generating Facility, as detailed in the ISO New England Planning Procedures. Network Resource (“NR”) – The portion of a Generating Facility that is interconnected to the Administered Transmission System under the Network Capability Interconnection Standard. Network Resource Capability (“NR Capability”) – The maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output of the Generating Facility at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F. for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F. for Winter. Where the Generating Facility includes multiple energy production devices, the NR Capability shall be the aggregate maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output of the Generating Facility at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F. for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F. for Winter. The NR Capability shall be equal to or greater than the CNR Capability. Network Resource Interconnection Service (“NR Interconnection Service”) – The Interconnection Service selected by the Interconnection Customer to interconnect its Generating Facility to the Administered Transmission System in accordance with the Network Capability Interconnection Standard. An Interconnection Customer’s NR Interconnection Service shall be solely for the megawatt amount of the NR Capability. NR Interconnection Service in and of itself does not convey transmission service. Network Upgrades – Additions, modifications, and upgrades to the New England Transmission System required at or beyond the point at which the Small Generating Facility interconnects with the Administered Transmission System to accommodate the interconnection of the Small Generating Facility with the Administered Transmission System. Network Upgrades do not include Distribution Upgrades.

Interconnection System Impact Study Agreement. The form of agreement contained in Appendix Attachment 7 of the Standard Small Generator Interconnection Procedures for conducting the Interconnection System Impact Study. NERC – The North American Electric Reliability Corporation or its successor organization. Network Capability Interconnection Standard (“NC Interconnection Standard”)– The minimum criteria required to permit the Interconnection Customer to interconnect a Generating Facility seeking Network Resource Interconnection Service or Elective Transmission Upgrade seeking Network Import Interconnection Service in a manner that avoids any significant adverse effect on the reliability, stability, and operability of the New England Transmission System, including protecting against the degradation of transfer capability for interfaces affected by the Generating FacilityFacility seeking Network Resource Interconnection Service or Elective Transmission Upgrade seeking Network Import Interconnection Service, as detailed in the ISO New England Planning Procedures. Network Resource (“NR”) – The portion of a Generating Facility that is interconnected to the Administered Transmission System under the Network Capability Interconnection Standard. Network Resource Capability (“NR Capability”) – The maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output MW quantity associated with NR Interconnection Service, calculated as described in Section II.48 of the Generating Facility at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F. for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F. for Winter. Where the Generating Facility includes multiple energy production devices, the NR Capability shall be the aggregate maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output of the Generating Facility at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F. for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F. for Winter.

Party– The System Operator, Interconnecting Transmission Owner, Interconnection Customer or any combination of the above. Point of Interconnection – The point where the Interconnection Facilities connect with the Administered Transmission System. Queue Position -- The order of a valid request in the New England Control Area, relative to all other pending requests in the New England Control Area, that is established based upon the date and time of receipt of such request by the System Operator. Requests are comprised of interconnection requests for Generating Facilities, Elective Transmission Upgrades, requests for transmission service and notification of requests for interconnection to other electric systems, as notified by the other electric systems, that impact the Administered Transmission System. References to a “higher-queued” Interconnection Request shall mean one that has been received by System Operator (and placed in queue order) earlier than another Interconnection Request, which is referred to as “lower-queued.” Reasonable Efforts – With respect to an action required to be attempted or taken by a Party under the Small Generator Interconnection Agreement, efforts that are timely and consistent with Good Utility Practice and are otherwise substantially equivalent to those a Party would use to protect its own interests. Small Generating Facility – A Generating Facility having a maximum gross capability at or above zero degrees F of 20 MW or less. Stand Alone Network Upgrades – Network Upgrades that an Interconnection Customer may construct without affecting day-to-day operations of the New England Transmission System during their construction. The System Operator, Interconnection Customer, Interconnecting Transmission Owner, and any Affected Party as deemed appropriate by the System Operator in accordance with applicable codes of conduct and confidentiality requirements, must agree as to what constitutes Stand Alone Network Upgrades and identify them in Attachment 2 to the Standard Small Generator Interconnection Agreement. Study Case shall have the meaning specified in Sections 3.3.2 and 3.4.3 of this SGIP. Study Process – The procedure for evaluating an Interconnection Request that includes the section 3 scoping meeting, Interconnection Feasibility Study, Interconnection System Impact Study, and Interconnection Facilities Study. Tariff – The System Operator’s or Affected System's Tariff through which open access transmission service and Interconnection Service are offered, as filed with the Commission, and as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor tariff. Trial Operation – The period during which Interconnection Customer is engaged in on-site test operations and commissioning of the Generating Facility prior to Commercial Operation. Upgrades – The required additions and modifications to the Administered Transmission System at or beyond the Point of Interconnection. Upgrades may be Network Upgrades or Distribution Upgrades. Upgrades do not include Interconnection Facilities. Attachment 2 Description and Costs of the Small Generating Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and Metering Equipment
