NGCP shall conduct the SIS, the costs thereof shall be deemed
included in the operational expenses of NGCP;
WHEREAS, to expedite the conduct and ensure the timely
completion of the SIS, the GMC recommended that the NGCP be
given a maximum of sixty (60) days within which to complete the SIS
reckoned from receipt of complete generator's data;
WHEREAS, as regards the Facilities Study (FS), the GMC
found that the OATS Rules do not specifically provide for the scope of
the FS and thus recommended the clarification and expansion of the
requirements therein for a thorough conduct of the FS. The FS shall
be the sole responsibility of the applicant or the prospective
transmission customer, who shall have the option to: (1) conduct the
FS itself; (2) engage a third party; or (3) engage the services of
NCGP to conduct the FS at its (applicant I prospective transmission
customer) costs. The GMC likewise recommended a maximum of
forty five (45) days from receipt, within which the Transmission
Provider shall review the FS conducted by the applicant or a third
party. Failure of the NGCP to comment or act on the FS within the
prescribed period shall be deemed an approval thereof;
WHEREAS, the GMC's recommendations were posted at the
ERC and GMC/DMC's websites on 08 June 2015, for comments of
stakeholders, which are already incorporated herein;
NOW THEREFORE, the ERC hereby RESOLVES to ADOPT
the Grid Management Committee's recommendations as follows:
1. Certain power plants shall be exempted from the conduct
of System Impact Study (SIS), particularly those directly
connected to the grid1 with capacities of 20 MW and
below in Luzon and 5 MW in Visayas and Mindanao
grids, which, as determined by the Transmission System
Provider. have no or negligible impact on the grid.
2. The Transmission Provider is designated as the sole
entity duly authorized to conduct an SIS with the option to
engage a third party under its supervision and control and
with full responsibility and accountability therefor. The
costs for the engagement by the NGCP of the third party
shall be borne by the applicant or the prospective
transmission customer. However, in cases where the
NGCP shall conduct the SIS, the costs thereof shall be
deemed included in its (NGCP) operation expense/--;
, As contradistinguished
from
