Reference:   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, effective October 15, 2010, as requested.

On November 1, 2010, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), and the Long Island Lighting Company, doing business as LIPA
(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 be a 31.5 MW solar facility and

will connect to LIPA’s existing 69 kV 8ER Brookhaven Substation.  Additionally, you state that the LGIA contains variations from the NYISO’s pro forma LGIA to reflect: 1) deviations required to explicitly recognize LIPA’s status as a non-
jurisdictional, tax-exempt, municipal utility; 2) revisions regarding the timing of
the execution of the Interconnection Agreement; 3) deviations required due to the existence of related contractual agreements; and 4) corrections to typographical
errors in the pro forma LGIA.
