Common use of Queue Position Clause in Contracts

Queue Position. The order of a valid Interconnection Request, relative to all other pending valid Interconnection Requests, which is established based upon the date and time of receipt of the valid Interconnection Request by the Cooperative and a demonstration of site control, if requested. Reasonable Efforts – With respect to an action required to be attempted or taken by a Party under the Interconnection Agreement, efforts that are timely and consistent with Prudent Utility Practices and are otherwise substantially equivalent to those a Party would use to protect its own interests. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – Also known as Renewable Energy Credits or Green Tags, are tradable, non-tangible energy commodities that represent proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWH) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource. In North Carolina, the Commission has established a Renewable Energy Tracking System (NC RETS) to register and certify RECs produced from renewable energy projects providing one REC for every 1,000 kWh of electricity it produces and delivers to electric systems. These RECs are sold and traded separate from commodity electricity and the consumer/owner of the REC receives only a certificate. NC Green Power is an independent, non-profit organization that purchases RECs from small producers in the state. Standard – The interconnection procedures, forms and agreements approved by the Cooperative for interconnection of Generating Facilities to the Cooperative’s System in its service area. Study Process – The procedure for evaluating an Interconnection Request that includes the Section 4 scoping meeting, feasibility study, system impact study, and facilities study. System – The facilities owned, controlled or operated by the Cooperative that are used to provide electric service in its service area. Transmission System – The transmission facilities owned, controlled or operated by the investor-owned utility to which Cooperative’s System is interconnected. Upgrades – The required additions and modifications to the Cooperative's System at or beyond the Point of Interconnection. Upgrades may be Network Upgrades or Distribution Upgrades. Upgrades do not include Interconnection Facilities.
