Execution and Filing Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the executed LGIA, the Developer shall provide the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner (A) reasonable evidence of continued Site Control or (B) posting of $250,000, non-refundable additional security with the Connecting Transmission Owner, which shall be applied toward future construction costs. At the same time, the Developer also shall provide the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner reasonable evidence that one or more of the following milestones in the development of the Large Generating Facility, at the Developer election, has been achieved: (i) the execution of a contract for the supply or transportation of fuel to the Large Generating Facility; (ii) the execution of a contract for the supply of cooling water to the Large Generating Facility; (iii) execution of a contract for the engineering for, procurement of major equipment for, or construction of, the Large Generating Facility; (iv) execution of a contract for the sale of electric energy or capacity from the Large Generating Facility; or (v) application for an air, water, or land use permit. The Developer shall either: (i) execute three (3) originals of the tendered LGIA and return them to the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner; or (ii) request in writing that the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner file with FERC an LGIA in unexecuted form. As soon as practicable, but not later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving either the two executed originals of the tendered LGIA (if it does not conform with a Commission-approved standard form of interconnection agreement) or the request to file an unexecuted LGIA, the ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner shall file the LGIA with FERC. The ISO will draft the portions of the LGIA and appendices that are in dispute and assume the burden of justifying any departure from the pro forma LGIA and appendices. The ISO will provide its explanation of any matters as to which the Parties disagree and support for the costs that the Connecting Transmission Owner proposes to charge to the Developer under the LGIA. An unexecuted LGIA should contain terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the ISO for the Interconnection Request. The Connecting Transmission Owner will provide in the filing any comments it has on the unexecuted agreement, including any alternative positions, it may have with respect to the disputed provisions. If the Parties agree to proceed with design, procurement, and construction of facilities and upgrades under the agreed-upon terms of the unexecuted LGIA, they may proceed pending Commission action.
