AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT FROM MIDCONTINENT INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR (MISO), FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
CWLP is required to participate in the MISO Generator Interconnection Process. As part of this process, transmission system studies must be performed to identify feasibility and scope of upgrades. These studies are highly technical and directed by FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) filings to be completed within a certain tight time frame to avoid limiting transmission upgrade projects. CWLP often contracts consultants to fulfill certain aspects of the studies and packaged as part of the larger CWLP study effort. To meet FERC allowed schedules and increasing volume of studies, this MSA allows for persistent legal framework for MISO to contract CWLP, thus streamlining the approval process for the studies. All costs incurred by these studies internally and by consultants are fully reimbursable by MISO.
