Optional Interconnection Feasibility Study. If Developer elects to perform an Optional Interconnection Feasibility Study, the study report shall provide the following: - If Developer elects to perform an Optional Interconnection Feasibility Study with a limited analysis (i.e., $10,000 study deposit), the study report shall provide, to the extent selected by Developer: o development of a conceptual breaker-level one-line diagram of existing NYS Transmission System or Distribution System where the Large Facility proposes to interconnect; and/or o a review of the feasibility/constructability of a conceptual breaker-level one- line diagram of the proposed interconnection (e.g., space for additional breaker bay in existing substation or identification of cable routing concerns inside existing substation). - If Developer elects to perform an Optional Interconnection Feasibility Study with detailed analyses (i.e., $60,000 study deposit), the study report shall provide, to the extent selected by Developer: o development of conceptual breaker-level one-line diagram of existing NYS Transmission System or Distribution System where the Large Facility proposes to interconnect (i.e., how to integrate the Large Facility into the existing system); o a review of the feasibility/constructability of a conceptual breaker-level one- line diagram of the proposed interconnection (e.g., space for additional breaker bay in existing substation or identification of cable routing concerns inside existing substation); o preliminary review of local protection, communication, and grounding issues associated with the proposed interconnection; o power flow, short circuit, and/or bus flow analyses; and/or o preliminary identification of Connecting Transmission Owner Attachment Facilities and Local System Upgrade Facilities with a non-binding good faith cost estimate of Developer’s cost responsibility and a non-binding good faith estimated time to construct.
