40.25.4 APPENDIX 4 TO ATTACHMENT HH

PRE-APPLICATION REQUEST FORM

1.      Instructions

Pursuant to Section 40.4.2 of Attachment HH to the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff, a prospective Interconnection Customer (“Requestor”) may request a Pre-Application Report from the NYISO regarding the proposed interconnection of a Generating Facility or Cluster Study Transmission Project at a particular point on the New York State Transmission System or Distribution System.  To request a Pre-Application Report, Requestor must complete and execute this request form and submit the form to the NYISO via the NYISO Interconnection Projects Portal, along with submitting a non-refundable fee of $5,000 for each Point of Interconnection (POI).  Requestor must provide a substantive answer to each of the questions in this request form and should not specify that the requested information is “to be determined” or “not available.” Requestor should direct any questions regarding the requested information and the completion of this form to:

Requestor shall submit the fee electronically via wire transfer. Wiring instructions are provided in the NYISO Interconnection Projects Portal. 

Upon its confirmation of a completed request form and its receipt of the required fee, the NYISO will send the request form to the relevant Connecting Transmission Owner for completion of the Pre-Application Report in the form set forth in Appendix A to this request form.  The Connecting Transmission Owner shall complete this report to the extent readily available data exists.  If the ISO, in consultation with the relevant Connecting Transmission Owner, determines that the interconnection, as proposed, does not appear to be subject to the NYISO’s interconnection procedures under the NYISO OATT, (1) the NYISO will inform the Requestor that its proposed interconnection is not subject to the NYISO’s interconnection procedures, and (2) the Connecting Transmission Owner will provide the Requestor with the Pre-Application Report set forth in Appendix A that is completed to the extent possible.  The Pre-Application Report is non-binding and does not confer any rights or obligations.

Notwithstanding its request for a Pre-Application Report, a Requestor must still successfully complete the interconnection requirements set forth in Attachment HH to the NYISO OATT to interconnect to the New York State Transmission System or Distribution System, to the extent that the NYISO OATT is applicable to the proposed interconnection.
