Summary of Order No. 845 Reforms Improving certainty in the interconnection process

• To improve certainty in the interconnection process, the Final Rule: 1. Removes the limitation that interconnection customers may only exercise the

option to build a transmission provider’s interconnection facilities and stand-alone network upgrades in instances when the transmission provider cannot meet the dates proposed by the interconnection customer; and

2. Requires that transmission providers establish interconnection dispute resolution procedures that allow a disputing party to unilaterally seek non-binding dispute resolution.

Summary of Order No. 845 Reforms Promoting more informed interconnection decisions

• To promote more informed interconnection decisions, the Final Rule:

3. Requires transmission providers to outline and make public a method for determining contingent facilities;

4. Requires transmission providers to list the specific study processes and assumptions for forming the network models used for interconnection studies;

5. Revises the definition of “Generating Facility” to explicitly include electric storage resources; and

6. Establishes reporting requirements for aggregate interconnection study performance.

Summary of Order No. 845 Reforms Enhancing the interconnection process

• To enhance the interconnection process, the Final Rule: 7. Allows interconnection customers to request a level of interconnection

service that is lower than their generating facility capability; 8. Requires transmission providers to allow for provisional interconnection

agreements that provide for limited operation of a generating facility prior to completion of the full interconnection process;

9. Requires transmission providers to create a process for interconnection customers to use surplus interconnection service at existing points of interconnection; and

10. Requires transmission providers to set forth a procedure to allow transmission providers to assess and, if necessary, study an interconnection customer’s technology changes without affecting the interconnection customer’s queue position.

REFORM #10 – EVALUATION OF TECHNOLOGY CHANGES Tariff Language

ISO-NE PUBLIC

67

No Tariff Change Proposed

• The ISO-NE interconnection process already allows for the evaluation of technology changes through the pre-System Impact Study true-up process and the 10 day material modification review window

• These provisions were developed in the 2016 New England interconnection reforms and allow the same or more flexibility in accommodating technology changes as the reform proposed by the Commission

• ISO-NE will propose that the ISO-NE procedures already meet or exceed the requirements of Order No. 845

ISO-NE PUBLIC

Next Step

• Second Tariff language review at the September 18, 2018 Transmission Committee meeting
