ATTACHMENT A TO APPENDIX 13 – FAST TRACK REQUEST– Terms and Conditions of Interconnection Study(ies)
These terms and conditions for the study of a Generating Facility in the Fast Track Process proposed in the Fast Track Request dated __________(“the Project”) and submitted by ________________________________________, a __________________ organized and existing under the laws of the State of _____________ (“Interconnection Customer”) sets forth the respective obligations between Interconnection Customer and the New York Independent System Operator, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (“NYISO”) (hereinafter the “Terms and Conditions”). By signing below, Interconnection Customer confirms its understanding and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Interconnection Customer is proposing the Project; and
WHEREAS, desires to use the Fast Track Process to interconnect the Generating Facility with the New York State Transmission System (or the Distribution System, as applicable); and
WHEREAS, the Interconnection Customer has requested NYISO to assess the Project under the Fast Track Process;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Interconnection Customer and NYISO agree as follows:
1.0 When used in under these Terms and Conditions, with initial capitalization, the terms specified shall have the meanings specified in Section 40.1 of the Standard Interconnection Procedures in Attachment HH to the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”).
2.0 The Interconnection Customer shall elect and NYISO shall cause to be performed, an assessment of the Project in the Fast Track Process, including any supplemental review agreed upon by Interconnection Customer, in accordance with the requirement in Section 40.23 of Attachment HH to the ISO OATT (“Study”). The terms of Attachment HH to the ISO OATT, as applicable, are incorporated by reference herein.
3.0 The NYISO’s assessment of the Project in accordance with the Fast Track Process requirements in Section 40.23 of Attachment HH to the ISO OATT in connection with the Fast Track Request and these Terms and Conditions will be based on the technical information provided by the Interconnection Customer in the Fast Track Request. NYISO reserves the right to request additional information from the Interconnection Customer as may reasonably become necessary consistent with Good Utility Practice during the course of its assessment. If the Interconnection Customer modifies its designated Point of Interconnection, the Fast Track Request, or the technical information provided in the Interconnection Request, the time to complete the Study may be extended.
