FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Small Generator Interconnection Agreements and Procedures

Docket No.

ERRATA NOTICE

(January 15, 2014)

On November 22, 2013, the Commission issued an order in the above-referenced docket. Small Generator Interconnection Agreements and Procedures, 145 FERC ¶ 61,159 (2013). This errata notice serves to correct references to Small Generator Interconnection Procedures (SGIP) section numbers in the order and the pro forma SGIP, and to make other typographical corrections. The order is revised as follows:

1. Footnote 221 should read,

“The Commission adds the following language to the first paragraph of section 2.1 of the SGIP:

However, Fast Track eligibility is distinct from the Fast Track Process itself, and eligibility does not imply or indicate that a Small Generating Facility will pass the Fast Track screens in section 2.2.1 below or the Supplemental Review screens in section 2.4.4 below.”

2. The third sentence of paragraph 142 should read,

“Regarding NRECA, EEI & APPA’s assertion that the use of 100 percent of minimum load limits the flexibility to move loads and the ability to deploy additional sectionalizing devices for reliability enhancement, we note that one of the factors to be considered in the safety and reliability screen of the supplemental review asks whether operational flexibility is reduced by the proposed Small Generating Facility (see SGIP section 2.4.4.3.5).”

3. The last sentence of paragraph 182 should read,

“We do, however, modify section 2.4.5.2 to include language that the Transmission Provider will provide an interconnection agreement to the Interconnection Customer if the Interconnection Customer agrees to pay for the modifications to the Transmission Provider’s system, similar to the language in section 2.3.1 of the SGIP.”

4. Footnote 449 should read,

“NRECA, EEI & APPA at 29 (quoting the NOPR, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 32,697 at P 1, n. 4) (emphasis added).

5. The last sentence of the first paragraph in section 2.1 of Appendix C, Revisions to the Pro Forma SGIP, should read,

“However, Fast Track eligibility is distinct from the Fast Track Process itself, and eligibility does not imply or indicate that a Small Generating Facility will pass the Fast Track screens in section 2.2.1 below or the Supplemental Review screens in section 2.4.4 below.”

6. The table in section 2.2.1.6 of Appendix C, Revisions to the Pro Forma SGIP, should read as follows:

Primary Distribution Line Type	Type of Interconnection to Primary Distribution Line	Result/Criteria
Three-phase, three wire	3-phase or single phase, phase-to-phase	Pass screen
Three-phase, four wire	Effectively-grounded 3 phase or Single-phase, line-to-neutral	Pass screen

7. The first sentence of section 2.4.4.1.1 of Appendix C, Revisions to the Pro Forma SGIP, should read,

“The type of generation used by the proposed Small Generating Facility will be taken into account when calculating, estimating, or determining circuit or line section minimum load relevant for the application of screen 2.4.4.1.”

8. Sections 2.4.5.1, 2.4.5.2, and 2.4.5.3 of Appendix C, Revisions to the Pro Forma SGIP, should read as follows:

“2.4.5.1 If the proposed interconnection passes the supplemental screens in sections 2.4.4.1, 2.4.4.2, and 2.4.4.3 above and does not require construction of facilities by the Transmission Provider on its own system, the interconnection agreement shall be provided within ten Business Days after the notification of the supplemental review results.

2.4.5.2 If interconnection facilities or minor modifications to the Transmission Provider's system are required for the proposed interconnection to pass the supplemental screens in sections 2.4.4.1, 2.4.4.2, and 2.4.4.3 above, and the Interconnection Customer agrees to pay for the modifications to the Transmission Provider’s electric system, the interconnection agreement, along with a non-binding good faith estimate for the interconnection facilities and/or minor modifications, shall be provided to the Interconnection Customer within 15 Business Days after receiving written notification of the supplemental review results.

2.4.5.3 If the proposed interconnection would require more than interconnection facilities or minor modifications to the Transmission Provider’s system to pass the supplemental screens in sections 2.4.4.1, 2.4.4.2, and 2.4.4.3 above, the Transmission Provider shall notify the Interconnection Customer, at the same time it notifies the Interconnection Customer with the supplemental review results, that the Interconnection Request shall be evaluated under the section 3 Study Process unless the Interconnection Customer withdraws its Small Generating Facility.”

9. Section 10 of Attachment 8 (Facilities Study Agreement) to Appendix C, Revisions to the Pro Forma SGIP, should read as follows:

“10.0 Within ten Business Days of providing a draft Interconnection Facilities Study report to Interconnection Customer, Transmission Provider and Interconnection Customer shall meet to discuss the results of the Interconnection Facilities Study.”
