Network Upgrade Facilities Clause Samples
The Network Upgrade Facilities clause defines the responsibilities and procedures for upgrading or expanding network infrastructure to accommodate new or increased service requirements. Typically, this clause outlines which party is responsible for funding, constructing, and maintaining the necessary upgrades, such as additional transmission lines or equipment, and may specify timelines, technical standards, and approval processes. Its core practical function is to ensure that network enhancements are managed efficiently and fairly, preventing disputes over costs and responsibilities while supporting reliable service expansion.
Network Upgrade Facilities. Connecting Transmission Owner and Transmission Developer shall design, procure, construct, and install the Network Upgrade Facilities as specified in Appendix A hereto. Connecting Transmission Owner shall have ownership and control of the Network Upgrade Facilities.
Network Upgrade Facilities. Transmission Developer shall submit initial and final specifications for the Network Upgrade Facilities for which it is responsible pursuant to Appendix A to Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO for review and comments pursuant to the dates set forth in Appendix B. Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO shall review such specifications to ensure that the Network Upgrade Facilities are compatible with the technical specifications, operational control, and safety requirements of the Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO and comment on such specifications pursuant to the dates set forth in Appendix B. All specifications provided hereunder shall be deemed to be Confidential Information. The review of Transmission Developer’s final specifications by Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO shall not be construed as confirming, endorsing, or providing a warranty as to the design, fitness, safety, durability or reliability of the Transmission Project or Network Upgrade Facilities. Transmission Developer shall make such changes to the Network Upgrade Facilities as may reasonably be required by Connecting Transmission Owner or NYISO, in accordance with Good Utility Practice, to ensure that the Network Upgrade Facilities are compatible with the technical specifications, operational control, and safety requirements of the Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO. Transmission Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner shall design and construct the Network Upgrade Facilities for which each is responsible pursuant to Appendix A in accordance with Good Utility Practice. Transmission Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner shall each deliver to the other Parties pursuant to the dates set forth in Appendix B “asbuilt” drawings, information and documents for the Network Upgrade Facilities. The Connecting Transmission Owner shall transfer operational control of the Network Upgrade Facilities to the NYISO upon completion of such facilities.
Network Upgrade Facilities. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Transmission Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner, Transmission Developer shall select the In-Service Date and Initial Synchronization Date of the Network Upgrade Facilities, and such dates shall be set forth in Appendix B hereto. The Connecting Transmission Owner’s and Transmission Developer’s respective obligations to design, procure, construct, install, and own the Network Upgrade Facilities shall be set forth in Appendix A hereto. The Connecting Transmission Owner and Transmission Developer shall each use Reasonable Efforts to complete the Network Upgrade Facilities for which it has construction responsibility by the dates set forth in Appendix B hereto.
