7. Post GIA Phase

The following sections describe various activities in project development after the Generator

Interconnection Agreement is executed.

Initial Payment

The Interconnection Customer is required to pay the initial payment of either 1) 20% of the total

cost of Network Upgrades, Transmission Owner Interconnection Facilities, Transmission

Owners System Protection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades and/or Generator Upgrades

identified in the GIA within 30 days of executing its GIA if the Generator In-service date is within

5 years of executing the GIA; or 2) 10% if it is beyond 5 years; or 3) the total cost of Network

Upgrades, Transmission Owner Interconnection Facilities, Transmission Owners System

Protection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades and/or Generator Upgrades in the form of security.

Limited Operation

If any of the Transmission Owners Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, or

Transmission Owners System Protection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades or Generator

Upgrades are not reasonably expected to be completed prior to the Commercial Operation Date

of the Generating Facility, Transmission Provider shall, upon the request and at the expense of

Interconnection Customer, perform operating studies on a timely basis to determine the extentto which the Generating Facility and the Interconnection Customers Interconnection Facilities

may operate prior to the completion of the Transmission Owners Interconnection Facilities,

Network Upgrades, Transmission Owners System Protection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades

or Generator Upgrades consistent with Applicable Laws and Regulations, Applicable Reliability

Standards, Good Utility Practice, and the GIA. The maximum permissible output of the

Generating Facility will be updated on a quarterly basis if the Network Upgrades necessary for

the interconnection of the Generating Facility pursuant to the GIA are not in service within six (6)

months following the Commercial Operation Date of the Generating Facility as specified in

Appendix B of the GIA. These quarterly studies will be performed using the same methodology

set forth Section 6.2.9 of this BPM for Provisional Generation Interconnection Agreements.

These quarterly updates will end when all Network Upgrades necessary for the interconnection

of the Generating Facility pursuant to this GIA are in service.

7.1 Providing Modeling Data

Within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the Generation Interconnection Agreement has been

signed, the Interconnection Customer is required to provide a model for the Generating Facility

to MISO.

The Interconnection Customer shall provide power flow modeling data for the generator and

associated interconnection facilities as applicable by submitting a project into Model on Demand

(MOD). The Interconnection Customer shall provide a working stability model for the Generating

Facility that is compatible with MISO standard models (typically PSS/e models). Refer to

Appendix D for the specific requirements to be provided. These models are intended to be used

in MISO Planning Studies. The Interconnection Customer will be required to update the

submitted models throughout the development of the Generating Facility as needed.

Submittal of modeling data for corresponding Network Upgrades shall be coordinated between

the Interconnection Customer and the Transmission Owner.

7.2 Suspension

After the execution of the Interconnection Agreement, the Interconnection Customer is expected

to meet the milestones and construction schedule as established in the Interconnection

Agreement. In certain conditions, Interconnection Customer has the option to suspend the

construction of the Network Upgrades and Interconnection Facilities based on narrowly defined

criteria. The following rules and conditions will govern the suspension of a project in the post-IAphase.

Permitted only for Force Majeure reasons: Any act of God, labor disturbance, act of

the public enemy, war, insurrection, riot, fire, storm or flood, explosion, breakage or

accident to machinery or equipment, any order, regulation or restriction imposed by

governmental, military or lawfully established civilian authorities, or any other cause

beyond a Partys control. A Force Majeure event does not include an act of

negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the Party claiming Force Majeure.

When coming out of suspension with only partial construction resulting in reduced

project capacity, recovery eligibility is reduced on a pro-rata basis relative to the new

size of the project

Will require an up-front payment equivalent to greater of Network Upgrade costs or

$5 million

Modeling data to be submitted by Interconnection Customer to MISO

Powerflow Modeling data into Model on Demand (MOD)

Interconnection Customer to submit project in MOD to model their Generating Facility, as notedahead:

Submit MOD projects to model generators with a project type Generator in MOD. Set the

project status as per the following:o For generator with a signed Generation Interconnection Agreement (GIA) that is not in

service, set the status as Planned.

o For changes to existing generators as per representation in the MOD base case, submit

project with a status of In-Service

Choose an effective date of MOD project as per best available information of the expected

in-service date.

Include the following information in the project name as per the naming convention below:

o MISO generator interconnection project number

o Interconnecting Transmission Owner (ITO)

o State where project is interconnecting

o Fuel Type

o Example: G000-XEL-MN-Wind.prj

Include the following power-flow data in the MOD project:o Bus number(s) corresponding to POI approved by ITO

o For the Generator Step-up transformer, provide:

Voltage ratings (kV)

Normal and emergency rating (MVA)

Impedance

Load tap changer/phase shifter information

o As applicable, for Generating Facility with collector systems:

Pad-mount transformer data (voltage levels, ratings, impedance parameters)

Collector system equivalent (voltage level, MVA rating, impedance)

Interconnection radial line parameters (voltage level, MVA rating, impedance

parameters)

Additional equipment as needed

o Net maximum and minimum real power (MW) output (Pmax and Pmin)o Net maximum and minimum reactive (MVArs) output (Qmax and Qmin) ( if a wind

machine, please note below)

o Remote bus number for which the voltage is to be regulated by the generator, as

applicable

o External Reactive Compensation, as applicable

Reactive limits will be as

specified by Qmax and Qmin.This would be most applicablefor wind machines that have adifferent range for lagging andleading power factor.

2Specify rated powerfactor value

Reactive limits will change as afunction of active power outputand power factor specified here.This will replace the maximumand minimum reactive limitsspecified under Qmax andQmin.

Reactive power output willchange to a fixed value as a

function of the active poweroutput and power factor. Thiswill replace the maximum andminimum reactive limitsspecified under Qmax andQmin.
