Common use of Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study Clause in Contracts

Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall specify and provide a non-binding estimate of the cost of the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the final Phase 2 or Phase 3 Report (as appropriate) in the Definitive Interconnection Study Process, the Replacement Impact Study and the Reliability Assessment Study in the Generation Replacement process, and the System Impact Study in the Serial Interconnection Study Process in accordance with Good Utility Practice to physically and electrically connect the Interconnection Facilities to the Transmission System. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall also identify the electrical switching configuration of the connection equipment, including, without limitation: the transformer, switchgear, meters, and other station equipment; the nature and estimated cost of any Transmission Provider's Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades necessary to accomplish the interconnection; and an estimate of the time required to complete the construction and installation of such facilities. The Interconnection Facilities Study will also identify any potential control equipment for requests for Interconnection Service that are lower than the Generating Facility Capacity.

Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall be specific to each Interconnection Request and performed on an individual, i.e. non-clustered, basis. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall specify and provide a non-binding estimate of the cost of the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the final Phase 2 or Phase 3 Two Cluster Study Report (as appropriateand any associated Cluster Re- Studies) in the Definitive Interconnection Study Process, the Replacement Impact Study and the Reliability Assessment Study in the Generation Replacement process, and the System Impact Study in the Serial Interconnection Study Process in accordance with Good Utility Practice to physically and electrically connect the Interconnection Facilities to the Transmission System.
