The Interconnection Agreement. The purpose of the Interconnection Agreement is to allow the interconnection of GMP’s Small Generating Facility to the Administered Transmission System at GMP’s Xxxxxxx Substation. The Small Generating Facility is an existing 5-unit hydroelectric facility located in Proctor, Vermont, constructed in 1904-1905, expanded in 1984, and continuously owned by, and interconnected to, GMP or its predecessors in interest. Pursuant to GMP’s Interconnection Request dated March 3, 2015, GMP proposed to and has upgraded four of the five existing units comprising the Small Generating Facility to achieve a gross rating of 9.841 megawatts in Summer and Winter. A detailed description of the various elements comprising the Small Generating Facility is included in Attachment 2 of the Interconnection Agreement. Consistent with Order No. 2006 and Schedule 23 of the ISO OATT, the new Interconnection Request triggered the need for a new pro forma SGIA. Accordingly, the Filing Parties entered into the Interconnection Agreement. The Interconnection Agreement will govern the entire Small Generating Facility’s interconnection to the Administered Transmission System.
The Interconnection Agreement. The purpose of the Interconnection Agreement is to allow the interconnection of XXXX’x Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx Generating Station (the “Large Generating Facility”) to the Administered Transmission System at the existing 115 kV ring bus in XXXX’x Station 16 switchyard (the Potter Switchyard).10 As detailed in Appendix C to the Interconnection Agreement, the Large Generating Facility, rated at 182 megawatts (“MW”) gross and 180.5 MW net, will be comprised of three simple cycle combustion turbine units located at Potter Road in Braintree, Massachusetts. Two of the simple cycle combustion turbine units (“Xxxxxx Units 1 and 2”) that are each rated at 58 XX xxxxx are existing facilities that were interconnected pursuant to the 2008 Interconnection Agreement that was filed with the Commission on October 1, 2008, in Docket Nos. ER09-19- 000, et al. The existing Xxxxxx Units 1 and 2 of the Large Generating Facility currently have Capacity Network Resource Interconnection Service for 105.2 MW Summer and 114.8 XX Xxxxxx. Pursuant to an Interconnection Request dated February 24, 2014, BELD will be increasing the output of the existing facility by adding a new simple cycle combustion turbine unit rated at 66 XX xxxxx (“Xxxxxx Unit 3”). Xxxxxx Unit 3 will be interconnecting to the Administered Transmission System at XXXX’x Xxxxxx Switchyard via existing Interconnection Facilities that are currently being used by XXXX’x Xxxxxx 2 Large Generating Facility (not subject to the Interconnection Agreement), which BELD will be retiring pursuant to all of the applicable provisions/processes set out in the ISO Tariff in time to allow for the connection of new Xxxxxx Unit 3. By governing the interconnection of the entire Large Generating Facility, comprising of the existing Xxxxxx Units 1 and 2 and the new Xxxxxx Unit 3, the Interconnection Agreement supplants the existing 2008 Interconnection Agreement. For this reason, the ISO and BELD have agreed to terminate the 2008 Interconnection Agreement and provide notice of that termination in this filing.
The Interconnection Agreement. The purpose of the Interconnection Agreement is to allow the interconnection of GMP’s Small Generating Facility to the Administered Transmission System at GMP’s Huntington Falls Substation. The Small Generating Facility is an existing facility that was constructed in 1910 and has been interconnected to the Interconnecting Transmission Owner’s system prior to its acquisition.6 The existing Small Generating Facility is located in Weybridge, VT and is currently comprised of three existing hydroelectric generators: unit 1 is 800 kVA; unit 2 is 1,000 kVA; and unit 3 is 4,500 kVA. Pursuant to GMP’s Interconnection Request dated April 21, 2016, GMP proposed to replace units 1 and 2 of the Small Generating Facility. After the addition of the two new units, the Small Generating Facility will consist of two new 1,378 kVA hydro generators (units 1 and 2) and an existing 4,555 kVA hydro generator (unit 3). The modifications to the Small Generating Facility are being made to achieve a rating of 6.58 XX xxxxx and net for Summer and Winter. A detailed description of the various elements comprising the Small Generating Facility is included in Attachment 2 of the Interconnection Agreement. Consistent with Order No. 2006 and Schedule 23 of the ISO OATT, the new Interconnection Request triggered the need for a new pro forma SGIA. Accordingly, the Filing Parties entered into the Interconnection Agreement. The Interconnection Agreement will govern the entire Small Generating Facility’s interconnection to the Administered Transmission System.
The Interconnection Agreement. 6.2 In the event of conflict or ambiguity between the provisions of the Interconnection Agreement (including any attachments) and the published RIO, and subject to Clause 6.1 the following order of precedence shall apply:
The Interconnection Agreement. The parties have entered into the Interconnection Agreement to establish the terms and conditions governing the interconnection of ATSI’s transmission system and MAIT’s transmission system and to define the continuing responsibilities and obligations of the parties with respect thereto. The two systems are interconnected at one point: the Ashtabula – Erie West Interconnection Point located near the Ohio and Pennsylvania state border at ATSI structure 13083. The parties may amend the agreement pursuant to Section 10.3 to add, discontinue or modify interconnection points. The agreement does not impose any charge for the mutual interconnection service provided thereunder, although Section 6.1 contemplates that the parties may need to invoice each other in connection with: (a) the establishment of a new interconnection point; (b) the modification of an existing interconnection point; or (c) other purposes specified in the agreement. Pursuant to Commission precedent, PJM is a signatory to the agreement for the limited purpose of ensuring that PJM is kept fully apprised of the matters addressed herein and so that PJM may be kept aware of any reliability and planning issues that may arise.4 The Interconnection Agreement has been designated as Service Agreement No. 4576 under the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff (“PJM Tariff”).
