Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study Clause Samples
The "Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study" clause defines the range and objectives of the study conducted to assess the requirements for connecting a new facility or project to an existing network or grid. This clause typically outlines what aspects will be analyzed, such as technical specifications, necessary upgrades, and cost estimates for the interconnection. For example, it may specify that the study will evaluate the impact of the new connection on system reliability and identify any modifications needed to accommodate the interconnection. Its core practical function is to ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of what the study will cover, thereby preventing misunderstandings and facilitating efficient planning and implementation of the interconnection process.

Transmission Provider will not perform an Interconnection Facilities Study for more than one generating output level.
8.2.1 If Interconnection Customer has submitted a Transmission Service Request in conjunction with its Interconnection Request as set forth in 8.1(c)(ii), Transmission Provider may perform a consolidated Facilities Study or concurrent Interconnection Facilities Study and Tariff facilities study that address the results of the Interconnection System Impact Study and the Tariff facilities study.
Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study. Upon receipt of an executed Interconnection Facilities Study Agreement and payment of the estimated cost to perform the Interconnection Facilities Study, an Interconnection Facilities Study will be carried out by, or on behalf of, the Transmission Provider and the Transmission Provider or ITC, as applicable, shall use Reasonable Efforts to coordinate the Interconnection Facilities Study with any affected adjacent regional transmission organizations, transmission owners, and local distribution utilities to determine the work required to effect the physical and electrical connection of the proposed Facility at the Point of Interconnection and to address, in accordance with Good Utility Practice, reliability problems identified in
Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall specify and estimate the cost of the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the Interconnection System Impact Study report in accordance with Good Utility Practice and NERC/WECC reliability standards set forth in Section 13.7 to physically and electrically connect the Interconnection Facilities to the Transmission System. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall also identify the electrical switching configuration of the connection equipment, including, without limitation: the transformer, switchgear, meters, and other station equipment; the nature and estimated cost of any Transmission Provider's Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades necessary to accomplish the interconnection; and an estimate of the time required to complete the construction and installation of such facilities.
Scope of Interconnection Facilities Study. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall be specific to each Interconnection Request and performed on an individual, i.e., non-clustered, basis. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall specify and provide a non-binding estimate the cost the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the Cluster Study Report (and any associated restudies) in accordance with Good Utility Practice to physically and electrically connect the Interconnection Facilities to the Transmission System. The Interconnection Facilities Study shall also identify the electrical switching configuration of the connection equipment, including, without limitation: the transformer, switchgear, meters, and other station equipment; the nature and estimated cost of any Transmission Provider’s Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades necessary to accomplish the interconnection; and an estimate of the time required to complete the construction and installation of such facilities. The Interconnection Facilities Study will also identify any potential control equipment for (1) requests for Interconnection Service that are lower than the Generating Facility Capacity, and/or (2) requests to study a Generating Facility that includes at least one electric storage resource using operating assumptions (i.e., whether the interconnecting Generating Facility will or will not charge at peak load) that reflect its proposed charging behavior, as requested by Interconnection Customer, unless Transmission Provider determines that Good Utility Practice, including Applicable Reliability Standards, otherwise require the use of different operating assumptions.
