Common use of Queue Position Clause in Contracts

Queue Position. The order of a valid Interconnection Request, Study Request, or Transmission Interconnection Application relative to all other such pending requests, that is established based upon the date and time of receipt of the valid request by the ISO, unless specifically provided otherwise in an applicable transition rule set forth in Attachment P, Attachment X or Attachment Z to the ISO OATT. Retired: A Generator that has permanently ceased operating on or after the effective date of Section 5.18 of the Services Tariff either: i) pursuant to applicable notice; or ii) as a result of the expiration of its Mothball Outage or the expiration of its ICAP Ineligible Forced Outage. Small Generating Facility – The Interconnection Customer’s device no larger than 20 MW for the production and/or storage for later injection of electricity identified in the Interconnection Request, but shall not include the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities. Study Process – The procedure for evaluating an Interconnection Request that includes the Section 32.3 scoping meeting, feasibility study, system impact study, and facilities study. System Deliverability Upgrades – The least costly configuration of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be used, consistent with Good Utility Practice and Applicable Reliability Requirements, to make the modifications or additions to the existing New York State Transmission System that are required for the proposed project to connect reliably to the system in a manner that meets the NYISO Deliverability Interconnection Standard for Capacity Resource Interconnection Service. System Upgrade Facilities – The least costly configuration of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be used, consistent with good utility practice and Applicable Reliability Requirements to make the modifications to the existing transmission system that are required to maintain system reliability due to: (i) changes in the system, including such changes as load growth and changes in load pattern, to be addressed in the form of generic generation or transmission projects; and (ii) proposed interconnections. In the case of proposed interconnection projects, System Upgrade Facilities are the modifications or additions to the existing New York State Transmission System that are required for the proposed project to connect reliably to the system in a manner that meets the NYISO Minimum Interconnection Standard. Upgrades – The required additions and modifications to the Connecting Transmission Owner’s portion of the New York State Transmission System or the Distribution System at or beyond the Point of Interconnection. Upgrades may be System Upgrade Facilities or System Deliverability Upgrades or Distribution Upgrades. Upgrades do not include Interconnection Facilities. Appendix 2 - SMALL GENERATOR INTERCONNECTION REQUEST (Application Form) An Interconnection Request is considered complete when it provides all applicable and correct information required below, together with the required application fee, submitted to the ISO. Per SGIP section 32.1.5, documentation of the site control must be submitted with the Interconnection Request.

Retired: A Generator that has permanently ceased operating on or after the effective date of Section 5.18 of the Services Tariff either: i) pursuant to applicable notice; or ii) as a result of the expiration of its Mothball Outage or the expiration of its ICAP Ineligible Forced Outage. Small Generating Facility – The Interconnection Customer’s device no larger than 20 MW for the production and/or storage for later injection of electricity identified in the Interconnection Request, but shall not include the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities. Study Process – The procedure for evaluating an each Interconnection Request that includes is deemed complete. Reasonable Efforts – With respect to an action required to be attempted or taken by a Party under the Section 32.3 scoping meetingSmall Generator Interconnection Agreement, feasibility study, system impact study, efforts that are timely and facilities study. System Deliverability Upgrades – The least costly configuration of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be used, consistent with Good Utility Practice and Applicable are otherwise substantially equivalent to those a Party would use to protect its own interests. Reliability Requirements, to make Network Upgrades -- The transmission facilities at or beyond the modifications or additions point where the Distribution Provider’s Distribution System interconnects to the existing New York State Transmission System that are required for the proposed project ISO Grid, necessary to connect interconnect one or more Generating Facility(ies) safely and reliably to the ISO Grid, which would not have been necessary but for the interconnection of one or more Generating Facility(ies), including Network Upgrades necessary to remedy short circuit or stability problems, or thermal overloads. Reliability Network Upgrades shall only be deemed necessary for thermal overloads, occurring under any system condition, where such thermal overloads cannot be adequately mitigated through the ISO’s congestion management, operating procedures, or special protection systems based on the characteristics of the Generating Facilities included in a manner that meets the NYISO Deliverability Interconnection Standard for Capacity Resource Studies, limitations on market models, systems, or information, or other factors specifically identified in the Interconnection ServiceStudies. System Upgrade Facilities – The least costly configuration of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be usedReliability Network Upgrades also include, consistent with good utility the Applicable Reliability Council’s practice and Applicable Reliability Requirements Standards, the facilities necessary to mitigate any adverse impact the Generating Facility’s interconnection may have on a path’s Applicable Reliability Council rating. Resource Adequacy (RA) -- A mandatory planning and procurement process to ensure adequate resources to serve all customers in real time. The program requires that Load Serving Entities (LSEs) meet a Planning Reserve Margin for their obligations. The program provides deliverability criteria that each LSE must meet, as well as system and local capacity requirements. Rules are provided for "counting" resources towards meeting resource adequacy obligations. The resources that are counted for RA purposes must make the modifications themselves available to the existing transmission system that California ISO for the capacity for which they were counted. The ISO's Interim Reliability Requirements Program and the resource adequacy under MRTU tariff provisions are required intended to maintain system reliability due tocomplement the State of California's efforts to implement resource adequacy programs. In Process Site Control -- Documentation reasonably demonstrating: (i1) changes in the systemownership of, including such changes as load growth and changes in load patterna leasehold interest in, or a right to be addressed in the form of generic generation or transmission projects; and (ii) proposed interconnections. In the case of proposed interconnection projects, System Upgrade Facilities are the modifications or additions to the existing New York State Transmission System that are required develop a site for the proposed project purpose of constructing the Generating Facility; (2) an option to connect reliably purchase or acquire a leasehold site 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 system right to possess or occupy a site for such purpose (see also: Site Exclusivity). Site Exclusivity -- The third option to prove Site Control and applies only in instances when the Interconnection Customer has a manner that meets the NYISO Minimum Interconnection Standard. Upgrades – The required additions and modifications to the Connecting Transmission Owner’s portion of the New York State Transmission System business (private) or the Distribution System at or beyond the Point of Interconnection. Upgrades may be System Upgrade Facilities or System Deliverability Upgrades or Distribution Upgrades. Upgrades do not include Interconnection Facilities.
