Preliminary Interconnection Clause Samples
The Preliminary Interconnection clause establishes the initial terms and conditions under which two parties connect their systems or facilities before a final, comprehensive agreement is in place. Typically, this clause outlines the technical requirements, responsibilities, and any temporary operational protocols that must be followed during the early stages of interconnection, such as data sharing or limited energy transfer. Its core function is to enable the parties to begin collaboration or testing safely and efficiently while mitigating risks and clarifying obligations until a full interconnection agreement is executed.
Preliminary Interconnection. System Impact Study Queue shall mean a Transmission Provider separately maintained queue for valid Interconnection Requests for a Preliminary Interconnection System Impact Study. Queue shall mean the Interconnection Feasibility Study Queue, the Preliminary Interconnection System Impact Study Queue or the Definitive Interconnection System Impact Study Queue, as applicable. Queue Position shall mean the order of a valid Interconnection Request within the Interconnection Feasibility Study Queue, relative to all other pending valid Interconnection Requests within the Interconnection Feasibility Study Queue, the order of a valid Interconnection Request within the Preliminary Interconnection System Impact Study Queue, relative to all other pending valid Interconnection Requests within the Preliminary Interconnection System Impact Study Queue, or the order of a valid Interconnection Request within the Definitive Interconnection System Impact Study Queue Queue, relative to all other pending valid Interconnection Requests within the Definitive Interconnection System Impact Study Queue Queue, as applicable, that is established based upon the date and time of receipt of the valid Reasonable Efforts shall mean, with respect to an action required to be attempted or taken by a Party under the Generator Interconnection Agreement, efforts that are timely and consistent with Good Utility Practice and are otherwise substantially equivalent to those a Party would use to protect its own interests. Scoping Meeting shall mean the meeting between representatives of the Interconnection Customer, Transmission Owner and Transmission Provider conducted for the purpose of discussing alternative interconnection options, to exchange information including any transmission data and earlier study evaluations that would be reasonably expected to impact such interconnection options, to analyze such information, and to determine the potential feasible Points of Interconnection. Site Control shall mean documentation reasonably demonstrating: (1) ownership of, a leasehold interest in, or a right to develop a site of sufficient size for the purpose of constructing the Generating Facility; (2) an option to purchase or acquire a leasehold site of sufficient size for such purpose; or (3) an exclusivity or other business relationship between Interconnection Customer and the entity having the right to sell, lease or grant Interconnection Customer the right to possess or occupy a site of sufficient s...
Preliminary Interconnection. System Impact Study Agreement shall mean the form of agreement contained in Appendix 3 of the Generator Interconnection Procedures for conducting the Preliminary Interconnection System Impact Study.
Preliminary Interconnection. System Impact Study shall mean an engineering study that evaluates the impact of the proposed interconnection on the safety and reliability of Transmission System and, if applicable, an Affected System. The study shall identify and detail the system impacts that would result if the Generating Facility were interconnected without project modifications or system modifications, focusing on the Adverse System Impacts identified in an Interconnection Feasibility Study or that may be caused by an Interconnection Request, or to study potential impacts, including but not limited to those identified in the Scoping Meeting as described in the Generator Interconnection Procedures.
