Common use of Optional Interconnection Feasibility Study Clause in Contracts

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.
