Extensions and Exceptions Clause Samples
Extensions and Exceptions. Extension requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and should be submitted in writing to the appropriate Program Administrator for review. Any extension granted to either the Proof of Project Milestone or Request for Proposal due date will not extend the reservation expiration date. All projects will be limited to a maximum of three 6-month extensions of the reservation expiration date, after which the reservation expires automatically.14 Extensions will be for special circumstances only. Additionally, extensions will not be granted to projects that have not made satisfactory progress toward completion in compliance with established milestones and requirements. Any request for a second or third extension of the reservation expiration date requires unanimous SGIP Working Group approval, and the SGIP Working Group shall notify Applicants of the SGIP Working Group’s decision in writing within 30 days. When considering a request for a second or third reservation expiration extension, the SGIP Working Group will consider:
1) Whether the project’s delay is outside the control of the Host Customer;
2) Whether the project has made significant progress toward completion, and a timeline is provided showing the expected date of commissioning of the project and that interconnection of the project will fall within the third six-month extension of the project’s reservation expiration date;
3) Whether the extension of the project’s reservation expiration date will affect the Program Administrator’s ability to incentivize other projects. Eligible energy storage SGIP projects may rely on the longer of the extension granted under D.▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ or the third six-month extension granted in D.▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇. Any other procedure or documentation exceptions should be submitted to the appropriate Program Administrator and will be subject to Working Group approval.
