Background
Reliability Standard FAC-001-3 addresses Facility Interconnection Requirements, which ensure
the avoidance of adverse impacts on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System by requiring
Transmission Owners and applicable Generator Owners to document and make Facility
interconnection requirements available so that entities seeking to interconnect will have
necessary information. Reliability Standard FAC-001-3 and associated Implementation Plan was
developed in conjunction with BAL-005-1 (Balancing Authority Controls) to ensure that entities
with facilities and Load operating in an Interconnection are within a Balancing Authority Area’s
metered boundaries. This coordination will allow for the collection of data necessary to calculate
Reporting Area Control Error (Reporting ACE) to achieve the best results under BAL-005-1.
General Considerations
To guarantee proper coordination as intended by the standard drafting team for Project 201014.2.1, FAC-001-3 will be implemented concurrently with BAL-005-1, as reflected in the
“Prerequisite Approvals” section above.

Effective Dates
FAC-001-3 shall become effective on the effective date of BAL-005-1.
Retirements
FAC-001-2 (Facility Interconnection Requirements) shall be retired immediately prior to the
Effective Date of FAC-001-3 (Facility Interconnection Requirements) in the particular
jurisdiction in which the revised standard is becoming effective.
