elects to exercise the Option to Build pursuant to article 5.1.1, Standard Option.
5.9 Limited Operation Other Interconnection Options
5.9.1 Limited Operation.
5.9.2 Provisional Interconnection Service. Upon the request of Interconnection
Customer, and prior to completion of requisite Interconnection Facilities,
Network Upgrades, Distribution Upgrades, or System Protection Facilities
Transmission Provider may execute a Provisional Large Generator
Interconnection Agreement or Interconnection Customer may request the
filing of an unexecuted Provisional Large Generator Interconnection
Agreement with the Interconnection Customer for limited interconnection
service at the discretion of Transmission Provider based upon an evaluation
that will consider the results of available studies. Transmission Provider
shall determine, through available studies or additional studies as
necessary, whether stability, short circuit, thermal, and/or voltage issues
would arise if Interconnection Customer interconnects without
modifications to the Generating Facility or Transmission Provider’s system.
Transmission Provider shall determine whether any Interconnection
Facilities, Network Upgrades, Distribution Upgrades, or System Protection
Facilities that are necessary to meet the requirements of NERC, or any
applicable Regional Entity for the interconnection of a new, modified
and/or expanded Generating Facility are in place prior to the
commencement of interconnection service from the Generating Facility.
Where available studies indicate that such, Interconnection Facilities,
Network Upgrades, Distribution Upgrades, and/or System Protection
Facilities that are required for the interconnection of a new, modified and/or
expanded Generating Facility are not currently in place, Transmission
Provider will perform a study, at the Interconnection Customer’s expense,
to confirm the facilities that are required for Provisional Interconnection
Service. The maximum permissible output of the Generating Facility in the
Provisional Large Generator Interconnection Agreement shall be studied
and updated [on a frequency determined by Transmission Provider and at
the Interconnection Customer’s expense.]. Interconnection Customer
assumes all risk and liabilities with respect to changes between the
Provisional Large Generator Interconnection Agreement and the Large
Generator Interconnection Agreement, including changes in output limits
and Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, Distribution Upgrades,
and/or System Protection Facilities cost responsibilities.
