Serial Interconnection Study Process – Clustering Sample Clauses

Serial Interconnection Study Process – Clustering. At Transmission Provider's option, Interconnection Requests may be studied serially or in clusters for the purpose of the Serial Interconnection System Impact Study. Clustering shall be implemented on the basis of Queue Position. If Transmission Provider administering the Serial Interconnection Study Process elects to study Interconnection Requests using Clustering, all Interconnection Requests received within a period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) Calendar Days, hereinafter referred to as the "Queue Cluster Window" shall be studied together without regard to the nature of the underlying Interconnection Service, whether Energy Resource Interconnection Service or Network Resource Interconnection Service. The deadline for completing all Serial Interconnection System Impact Studies for which a Serial Interconnection System Impact Study Agreement has been executed during a Queue Cluster Window shall be in accordance with Section 9.4, for all Interconnection Requests assigned to the same Queue Cluster Window. Transmission Provider may study an Interconnection Request separately to the extent warranted by Good Utility Practice based upon the electrical remoteness of the proposed Large Generating Facility. Clustering Serial Interconnection System Impact Studies shall be conducted in such a manner to ensure the efficient implementation of the applicable regional transmission expansion plan in light of the Transmission System's capabilities at the time of each study. The Queue Cluster Window shall have a fixed time interval based on fixed annual opening and closing dates. Any changes to the established Queue Cluster Window interval and opening or closing dates shall be announced with a posting on Transmission Provider's OASIS beginning at least one hundred and eighty (180) Calendar Days in advance of the change and continuing thereafter through the end date of the first Queue Cluster Window that is to be modified.
