Notice:
Effective February 10, 2020, please be advised that the completion of advanced-stage Interconnection Studies under the Standard Generator Interconnection Procedures (GIP) will be delayed pending the outcome of the Transmission Service Request (TSR) 409 and 410 System Impact Studies, which are expected to identify significant changes to the NSPI transmission system. The expected completion date for these studies is December 31, 2021. Feasibility Studies initiated prior to the completion of these TSR System Impact Studies will be performed based on the current system configuration.
