Limited Operations. The ISO shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Developer, in conjunction with the Connecting Transmission Owner, perform operating studies to determine the extent to which the Developer’s Large Generating Facility and the Developer’s Attachment Facilities may operate prior to the completion of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities or System Upgrade Facilities or System Deliverability Upgrades consistent with Applicable Laws and Regulations, Applicable Reliability Standards, and Good Utility Practice. This provision does not permit the Developer to request the evaluation of an alternative configuration of the proposed Large Generating Facility; rather, this provision merely allows the Developer to request an evaluation of the extent to which its Large Generating Facility may operate, if at all, prior to the completion of all required upgrade facilities. This provision does not permit the Developer to operate the Developer’s Large Generating Facility and the Developer’s Attachment Facilities in accordance with the results of such studies. Such requirements must be documented in the Large Facility’s Interconnection Agreement, which must be fully executed or filed unexecuted and accepted by the Commission prior to the Large Facility going into Commercial Operation. Such requirements must also have a defined end date specified in the Interconnection Agreement – the date beyond which Limited Operations is not permitted.
