- (1) This section applies to electric service a large-scale generation provider provides to a large load customer through a connected generation system.
(2) In addition to the requirements of Section R746-318-201, an application for approval of a large load contract between a large-scale generation provider and a large load customer shall include:
- (a) evidence showing the large-scale generation provider satisfies the requirements of Subsection 54-26-505(2);
- (b) evidence showing the large load customer has met the requirements of Subsection 54-26-402(1);
- (c) evidence showing the large-scale generation provider will serve the large load customer using only qualifying generation resources;
- (d) evidence showing the large-scale generation provider has delivered the notices Section R746-318-402 requires;
(e) a declaration from the large-scale generation provider, including a summary of supporting evidence, attesting that either:
- (i) no costs associated with large load facilities will be incurred by the qualified electric utility in conjunction with the large load contract; or
- (ii) the large-scale generation provider or large load customer has entered a large load construction agreement to reimburse the costs of any necessary large load facilities;
(f) a declaration from the qualified electric utility, including a summary of supporting evidence that either:
- (i) no electric service is requested at this time to be provided by the qualified electric utility in conjunction with the large load contract; or
- (ii) the large-scale generation provider or large load customer has entered a large load service agreement for the provision of any necessary electric services from the qualified electric utility in conjunction with the large load contract; and
- (iii) the qualified electric utility has had an opportunity to review an appropriately redacted version of the large load contract and the qualified electric utility concurs with the applicant that the conditions contemplated in Subsections R746-318-501(2)(b) through (c) are satisfied.
- (g) evidence the large-scale generation provider has established curtailment processes with the large load customer in the large load contract if the large load customer's demand exceeds the real-time dispatch of the large-scale generation provider's resources under the large load contract, net of transmission losses.
- (3) If an applicant cannot get the declaration required by Subsection R746-318-501(2)(f), after making a reasonable and good faith effort to do so, the applicant may submit a petition to the Commission to require the qualified electric utility to show cause as to the basis for withholding the required declaration, and the Commission may waive the filing requirement under Subsection R746-318-501(2)(f) if the qualified electric utility fails to demonstrate a reasonable basis for the withholding.
