Reference:Revised Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement 

Dear Ms. Keegan and Mr. Nelson:

New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and Long Island Lighting Company’s (LIPA) submittal is accepted for filing, as requested.[1]

On November 1, 2010, NYISO and LIPA filed an executed standard large generator interconnection agreement (LGIA) among NYISO, LIPA and Long Island Solar Farm LLC.  The Long Island Solar Farm’s plant will connect to LIPA’s existing 69 kV 8ER Brookhaven Substation.  This LGIA was conditionally accepted on December 15, 2010,[2] subject to making certain administrative revisions to correct portions of the LGIA that did not display in eTariff.  On January 14, 2011, you filed a revised LGIA reflecting those administrative revisions. 

Notice of the instant filing was issued on January 18, 2011, with comments due on February 4, 2011.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2010)), all timely filed motions to intervene and any motion to intervene out-of-time filed before the issuance date of this order are granted.  Granting late intervention at this stage of the proceeding will not disrupt the proceeding or place additional burdens on existing parties.  No protests or adverse comments were filed.

              This action is taken pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307.

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of the referenced filing or any rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service contained in your filing; nor shall such acceptance be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation associated therewith; and such acceptance is without prejudice to any findings or orders which have been or any which may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO. 

This order constitutes final agency action.  Requests for rehearing by the Commission may be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.713.

Sincerely,

Jignasa Gadani, Director
