Study Process. The Replacement Request will consist of an environmental study as set forth in Section 15.6.1 and may consist of three additional studies: (1) System impact study for the Replacement Request (Replacement Impact Study) as set forth in Section 15.6.2, (2) Reliability Assessment Study for the Replacement Request (Reliability Assessment) as set forth in Section 15.6.3, and (3) Facilities Study for the Replacement Request (Replacement Facilities Study) as set forth in Section 15.6.4.
Study Process. 1.1.2 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Glossary of Terms in Attachment 1 or the body of these procedures.
Study Process. Repower Requests will consist of an environmental study as set forth in Section 14.5.1 and may consist of two additional studies: (1) A system impact study for the Repower Request (Repower Impact Study) as set forth in Section 14.5.2, and (2) a Facilities Study for the Repower Request (Repower Facilities Study) as set forth in Section 14.5.3.
Study Process. Deposit If the Interconnection Request is submitted under the Study Process, whether a new submission or an Interconnection Request that did not pass the Fast Track Process, the Interconnection Member shall submit to the Cooperative a deposit equal to 100% of the estimated study costs. The minimum fee to participate in the Study Process is $500. Change in Ownership If the Interconnection Request is submitted solely due to a transfer of ownership of the Generating Facility, there is no processing fee. Interconnection Member Information Legal Name of the Interconnection Member (or, if an individual, individual’s name) Name: Contact Person: Mailing Address: City: State: Zip: Facility Location (if different from above): Telephone (Day): (Evening): Fax: E-Mail Address: Alternative Contact Information (if different from the Interconnection Member) Contact Name: Title: Address: Telephone (Day): (Evening): Fax: E-Mail Address: Application is for: New Generating Facility Capacity Addition to Existing Generating Facility Transfer of Ownership of Existing Generating Facility If capacity addition to existing Generating Facility, please describe: Will the Generating Facility be used for any of the following?

Study Process. 4.1 Applicability The Study Process shall be used by an Interconnection Customer proposing to interconnect its Generating Facility with the Utility's System if the Generating Facility exceeds the size limits for the Section 3 Fast Track Process, is not certified, or is certified but did not pass the Fast Track Process or the 20 kW Inverter Process. The Interconnection Customer may be required to submit additional documentation, as may be requested by the Utility in writing, during the Study Process. GGE US (WG3/4) has submitted the following additional paragraphs in December. Any changes to the study process desired by a Utility shall first be approved by the Commission before its implementation. In the interim period, the Utility shall continue to effectuate the studies without delay. “good utility practice” guidelines consistent with previous practice without delay. Commented [A70]: December Comment from GGE US: We believe fact based decision making (technical and economic) to introduction of new technical parameters and/or good utility practices should both be discussed and aligned with broad stakeholder input. EX. DSDR LVR policy as it relates to degradation and economic benefits to ratepayers. Commented [A71]: Comment: Requires an IC to provide information or to establish binding response times during the study process. Reasonable timeframes for ICs to produce information requested by the utility along with an opportunity to request an extension/cure. Tolling the study timelines. There is not currently a clear procedure for the utility to require an IC to provide information or to establish binding response times during the study process, which have been increasingly necessary as new study standards have resulted in customer decision points within SIS as well as additional requests for project details and data to complete more Furthermore, any changes in the Utility’s application of “good utility practice” and/or technical parameters shall also first be approved by the Commission before its implementation. In the interim period, the Utility shall continue to use the existing Duke Energy (WG1) proposed rewriting section 4.1 as follows.
Study Process. Transmission Provider will support the NTTG processes as a member of NTTG to establish a coordinated sub-regional study process, involving both economic and reliability components, as outlined in the NTTG planning committee charter, which is approved by the NTTG Steering Committee. The “NTTG Planning Committee Charter” is available in Section “2.D – NTTG Charters & Agreements” of the Transmission Provider’s business practice, available on the Transmission Provider’s OASIS at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/NWMT/NWMTdocs/Attachment_K_Business_Practice_L inks.doc. As part of the sub-regional study process, the planning committee will biennially prepare a long-term (10 year) bulk transmission expansion plan, while taking into consideration up to a twenty year planning horizon. The comprehensive transmission planning process will include, but not be limited to, the following milestone activities during an eight (8) quarter study cycle as outlined below:
Study Process. 4.2.1 The WECC transmission planning protocol is available on the WECC website. A link to the process in contained in Section “3 - WECC Regional Link Information” of the Transmission Provider’s business practice, available on the Transmission Provider’s OASIS at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/NWMT/NWMTdocs/Attachment_K_Business_Pr actice_Links.doc.
Study Process. 4.1 Applicability
Study Process. The procedure for evaluating an Interconnection Request that includes the Section 4 scoping meeting, system impact study, and facilities study. The Study process may be a serial Study process or a Cluster Study process, as applicable. System – The facilities owned, controlled or operated by the Utility that are used to provide electric service in South Carolina.
Study Process. The Study Process shall be subject to the requirements of the applicable Transmission System owner, and may require special metering and other equipment as required by the Transmission System owner on a case by case basis as determined by the Study Process.
