3A Attachment Facilities Clause Samples

The 3A Attachment Facilities clause defines the requirements and responsibilities related to the construction, ownership, and maintenance of facilities necessary to physically connect a customer's equipment to a utility's transmission system. Typically, this clause outlines which party is responsible for building and paying for the attachment facilities, such as lines, switches, or transformers, and may specify timelines and technical standards. Its core function is to ensure that the process of interconnection is clearly delineated, minimizing disputes and ensuring reliable and safe integration of new equipment into the grid.
