Common use of Protocols for Encumbered Facilities Clause in Contracts

Protocols for Encumbered Facilities. A Party that is placing a transmission line or associated facility (including an Entitlement) that is subject to an Encumbrance under the Operational Control of the CAISO shall develop protocols for its operation which shall: (1) reflect the rights the Party has in such facility, and (2) give effect to any Encumbrance on such facility. Such protocols shall be delivered to the CAISO for review not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the CAISO is expected to assume Operational Control of any such facility. The CAISO shall review each protocol and shall cooperate with the relevant Party to assure that operations pursuant to the protocol are feasible and that the protocol is consistent with the applicable rights and Encumbrances. To the extent such protocol is required to be filed at FERC, the relevant Transmission Owner shall file such protocol not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which the CAISO is expected to assume Operational Control of the relevant facility. Protocols to implement the operating criteria established by the NRC operating licenses for nuclear generating units are provided in Appendix E.
