Agreement is executed. Interconnection Customer may then elect to proceed withNetwork Resource Interconnection Service or to proceed under a lower level ofinterconnection service to the extent that only certain upgrades will be completed.3.2.1 Energy Resource Interconnection Service.3.2.1.1. The Product. Energy Resource Interconnection Service allowsInterconnection Customer to connect the Large Generating Facilityto the Transmission System and be eligible to deliver the LargeGenerating Facility's output using the existing firm or non-firmcapacity of the Transmission System on an "as available" basis.Energy Resource Interconnection Service does not in and of itselfconvey any right to deliver electricity to any specific customer orPoint of Delivery.3.2.1.2. The Study. The study consists of short circuit/fault duty, steadystate (thermal and voltage) and stability analyses. The shortcircuit/fault duty analysis would identify direct InterconnectionFacilities required and the Network Upgrades necessary to addressshort circuit issues associated with the Interconnection Facilities.The stability and steady state studies would identify necessaryupgrades to allow full output of the proposed Large GeneratingFacility and would also identify the maximum allowed output, at thetime the study is performed, of the interconnecting Large GeneratingFacility without requiring additional Network Upgrades.3.2.2 Network Resource Interconnection Service.3.2.2.1. The Product. Transmission Provider must conduct the necessarystudies and construct the Network Upgrades needed to integrate theLarge Generating Facility (1) in a manner comparable to that inwhich Transmission Provider integrates its generating facilities toserve native load customers; or (2) in an ISO or RTO with marketbased congestion management,Generating Facility in the samemanner as all other Network Resources. Network ResourceInterconnection Service Allowsallows Interconnection Customer'sLarge Generating Facility to be designated as a Network Resource,up to the Large Generating Facility's full output, on the same basisas all other existing Network Resources interconnected toTransmission Provider’s Transmission System, and to be studied asa Network Resource on the assumption that such a designation willoccur.3.2.2.2. The Study. The Interconnection Study for Network ResourceInterconnection Service shall assure that Interconnection Customer'sLarge Generating Facility meets the requirements for NetworkResource Interconnection Service and as a general matter, that suchDM_VAN/BCT0007-BCT00132/6213742.16216529.6 - 11 11-
