performed in accordance with Section 7.8 of Attachment X. In the event of termination 
by a Party, the Parties shall use commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the costs, 
damages and charges arising as a consequence of termination.  Upon termination of this 
GIAZGIA, unless otherwise ordered or approved by FERC: 
 
In the event that this EGIA is terminated by Interconnection Customer that had an 
Interconnection Request studied in ERAS, Interconnection Customer is responsible for 
the full cost of all Network Upgrades identified in this EGIA as well as any Network 
Upgrades identified during the ERAS process that are to be memorialized in an 
agreement other that this EGIA, including any applicable FCA, MPFCA, or JTIQ Service 
Agreements.  If the Network Upgrade costs for Network Upgrades subject to an FCA, 
MPFCA, or JTIQ Service Agreement have not been finalized or the Interconnection 
Customer has not made the payment under such agreement as of the date that termination 
of this EGIA is sought, Interconnection Customer shall provide the payment or security 
for such Network Upgrades in the amount required by the applicable agreement.  If such 
agreement has not been executed and final costs are not available as of a date that 
termination is sought, Interconnection Customer shall provide such payment or security

in an amount corresponding to the most recent estimate provided by the Transmission 
Provider during the ERAS process.  Interconnection Customer shall pay or Transmission 
Provider shall refund, as applicable, to Interconnection Customer the difference between 
the amount of any estimated payment or security made pursuant to this Article and the 
final cost of such NU within ninety (90) Calendar Days after such final costs are invoiced 
to the Interconnection Customer. 
 
 
2.4.1 With respect to any portion of the Transmission Owner’s Interconnection 
Facilities, Network Upgrades, System Protection Facilities, Distribution 
Upgrades, Generator Upgrades, and if so determined and made a part of this 
GIAZGIA, upgrades on Affected Systems, that have not yet been constructed or 
installed, Transmission Owner shall to the extent possible and to the extent of 
Interconnection Customer’s written notice under Article 2.3.1, cancel any pending 
orders of, or return, any materials or equipment for, or contracts for construction 
of, such facilities; provided that in the event Interconnection Customer elects not 
to authorize such cancellation, Interconnection Customer shall assume all 
payment obligations with respect to such materials, equipment, and contracts, and 
Transmission Owner shall deliver such material and equipment, and, if necessary, 
assign such contracts, to Interconnection Customer as soon as practicable, at 
Interconnection Customer’s expense.  To the extent that Interconnection 
Customer has already paid Transmission Owner for any or all such costs of 
materials or equipment not taken by Interconnection Customer or upgrades not 
yet constructed, Transmission Owner shall promptly transfer such amounts to 
Transmission Provider, less any costs, including penalties incurred by 
Transmission Owner to cancel any pending orders of or return such materials, 
equipment, or contracts.  Except for agreements providing for ZG Interconnection 
Service, Transmission Provider will perform a financial impact analysis in 
accordance with Section 7.8 of Attachment X to determine the amount that should 
be refunded to Interconnection Customer.  Except for agreements providing for 
ZG Interconnection Service, Transmission Provider shall refund such remaining 
amounts to Interconnection Customer, less the amount of Automatic Withdrawal

Section 7.8.1 of the Attachment X and less any financial impact caused by the 
termination of this GIAZGIA or Interconnection Customer’s FCA(s) or 
MPFCA(s), as determined through the analysis performed in accordance with 
Section 7.8 of Attachment X. If Interconnection Customer made its payment(s) 
through a letter of credit, surety bond, or parental guarantee, Transmission Owner 
will draw against that letter of credit, surety bond, or parental guarantee in an 
amount determined through the analysis performed in accordance with Section 
7.8 of Attachment X plus the amount of any Automatic Withdrawal Penalty funds 
received by the Interconnection Customer in accordance with Section 7.8.1 of the 
Attachment X, and transfer that amount to Transmission Provider, unless 
Interconnection Customer funds the financial impact through another means. 
 
If an Interconnection Customer terminates this GIAZGIA, it shall be responsible 
for all costs incurred in association with that Interconnection Customer’s 
interconnection, including any cancellation costs relating to orders or contracts for 
Interconnection Facilities and equipment, and other expenses including any 
upgrades or related equipment for which Transmission Owner has incurred 
expenses and has not been reimbursed by Interconnection Customer. 
 
2.4.2 Transmission Owner may, at its option, retain any portion of such materials, 
equipment, or facilities that Interconnection Customer chooses not to accept 
delivery of, in which case Transmission Owner shall be responsible for all costs 
associated with procuring such materials, equipment, or facilities.  If 
Transmission Owner does not so elect, then Interconnection Customer shall be 
responsible for such costs. 
 
2.4.3 With respect to any portion of the Interconnection Facilities, and any other 
facilities already installed or constructed pursuant to the terms of this GIAZGIA, 
Interconnection Customer shall be responsible for all costs associated with the

4.1 
Interconnection Product Options.  Interconnection Customer has selected the following 
(checked) type of Interconnection Service:  
 
 
Check: _______: ____ ZG or ____ SI or  ____ ER and/or ____ NR (See Appendix A 
for details) 
 
4.1.1 Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ER Interconnection Service). 
 
4.1.1.1 The Product.  ER Interconnection Service allows Interconnection 
Customer to connect the Generating Facility to the Transmission or 
Distribution System, as applicable, and be eligible to deliver the 
Generating Facility’s output using the existing firm or non-firm capacity 
of the Transmission System on an “as available” basis.  To the extent 
Interconnection Customer wants to receive ER Interconnection Service, 
Transmission Owner shall construct facilities consistent with the studies 
identified in Appendix A.   
 
An Interconnection Customer seeking ER Interconnection Service for 
new or added capacity at a Generating Facility may be granted 
conditional ER Interconnection Service status to the extent there is such 
capacity available on the Transmission System to accommodate the 
Interconnection Customer’s Generating Facility.  At the request of 
Interconnection Customer, conditional ER Interconnection Service status 
may be granted subject to the system being able to accommodate the 
interconnection without upgrades, until such time as a higher queued 
project(s) with a later service date affecting the same common elements 
is placed into service.  The conditional ER Interconnection Service shall 
be terminated in the event Interconnection Customer fails to fund the 
necessary studies and the Network Upgrades necessary to grant the 
Interconnection Customer’s ER Interconnection Service upon the

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
completion of higher queued projects involving the same common 
elements. 
 
4.1.1.2 Transmission Delivery Service Implications.  Under ER 
Interconnection Service, Interconnection Customer will be eligible to 
inject power from the Generating Facility into and deliver power across 
the Transmission System on an “as available” basis up to the amount of 
MW identified in the applicable stability and steady state studies to the 
extent the upgrades initially required to qualify for ER Interconnection 
Service have been constructed.  After that date FERC makes effective 
MISO’s Energy Market Tariff filed in Docket No. ER04-691-000, 
Interconnection Customer may place a bid to sell into the market up to 
the maximum identified Generating Facility output, subject to any 
conditions specified in the Interconnection Service approval, and the 
Generating Facility will be dispatched to the extent the Interconnection 
Customer’s bid clears.  In all other instances, no transmission or other 
delivery service from the Generating Facility is assured, but 
Interconnection Customer may obtain Point-To-Point Transmission 
Service, Network Integration Transmission Service or be used for 
secondary network transmission service, pursuant to the Tariff, up to the 
maximum output identified in the stability and steady state studies.  In 
those instances, in order for Interconnection Customer to obtain the right 
to deliver or inject energy beyond the Point of Interconnection or to 
improve its ability to do so, transmission delivery service must be 
obtained pursuant to the provisions of the Tariff.  The Interconnection 
Customer’s ability to inject its Generating Facility output beyond the 
Point of Interconnection, therefore, will depend on the existing capacity 
of the Transmission or Distribution System as applicable, at such time as 
a Transmission Service request is made that would accommodate such 
delivery.  The provision of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service or

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
Network Integration Transmission Service may require the construction 
of additional Network or Distribution Upgrades. 
 
4.1.2 Network Resource Interconnection Service (NR Interconnection Service). 
 
4.1.2.1 The Product.  Transmission Provider must conduct the necessary 
studies and Transmission Owner shall construct the facilities identified 
in Appendix A of this GIA, subject to the approval of Governmental 
Authorities, needed to integrate the Generating Facility in the same 
manner as for any Generating Facility being designated as a Network 
Resource.   
 
4.1.2.2 Transmission Delivery Service Implications.  NR Interconnection 
Service allows the Generating Facility to be designated by any Network 
Customer under the Tariff on the Transmission System as a Network 
Resource, up to the Generating Facility’s full output, on the same basis 
as existing Network Resources that are interconnected to the 
Transmission or Distribution System, as applicable, and to be studied as 
a Network Resource on the assumption that such a designation will 
occur.  Although NR Interconnection Service does not convey a 
reservation of Transmission Service, any Network Customer can utilize 
Network Integration Transmission Service under the Tariff to obtain 
delivery of energy from the Generating Facility in the same manner as it 
accesses Network Resources.  A Generating Facility receiving NR 
Interconnection Service may also be used to provide Ancillary Services 
after technical studies and/or periodic analyses are performed with 
respect to the Generating Facility’s ability to provide any applicable 
Ancillary Services, provided that such studies and analyses have been or 
would be required in connection with the provision of such Ancillary 
Services by any existing Network Resource.  However, if the 
Generating Facility has not been designated as a Network Resource by

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
any Network Customer, it cannot be required to provide Ancillary 
Services except to the extent such requirements extend to all generating 
facilities that are similarly situated.  The provision of Network 
Integration Transmission Service or Firm Point-To-Point Transmission 
Service may require additional studies and the construction of additional 
upgrades.  Because such studies and upgrades would be associated with 
a request for delivery service under the Tariff, cost responsibility for the 
studies and upgrades would be in accordance with FERC’s policy for 
pricing transmission delivery services. 
 
NR Interconnection Service does not necessarily provide Interconnection 
Customer with the capability to physically deliver the output of its 
Generating Facility to any particular load on the Transmission System 
without incurring congestion costs.  In the event of transmission or 
distribution constraints on the Transmission or Distribution System, as 
applicable, the Generating Facility shall be subject to the applicable 
congestion management procedures in the Transmission System in the 
same manner as Network Resources. 
 
There is no requirement either at the time of study or interconnection, or 
at any point in the future, that the Generating Facility be designated as a 
Network Resource by a Network Customer or that Interconnection 
Customer identify a specific buyer (or sink).  To the extent a Network 
Customer does designate the Generating Facility as a Network Resource, 
it must do so pursuant to the Tariff. 
 
Once an Interconnection Customer satisfies the requirements for 
obtaining NR Interconnection Service, any future Transmission Service 
request for delivery from the Generating Facility within the 
Transmission System of any amount of capacity and/or energy, up to the 
amount initially studied, will not require that any additional studies be

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
performed or that any further upgrades associated with such Generating 
Facility be undertaken, regardless of whether such Generating Facility is 
ever designated by a Network Customer as a Network Resource and 
regardless of changes in ownership of the Generating Facility.  To the 
extent Interconnection Customer enters into an arrangement for long 
term Transmission Service for deliveries from the Generating Facility to 
customers other than the studied Network Customers, or for any Point-
To-Point Transmission Service, such request may require additional 
studies and upgrades in order for Transmission Provider to grant such 
request.  However, the reduction or elimination of congestion or 
redispatch costs may require additional studies and the construction of 
additional upgrades. 
 
To the extent Interconnection Customer enters into an arrangement for 
long term Transmission Service for deliveries from the Generating 
Facility outside the Transmission System, such request may require 
additional studies and upgrades in order for Transmission Provider to 
grant such request. 
 
4.1.2.3 Conditional NR Interconnection Service.  An Interconnection Customer 
seeking NR Interconnection Service for new or added capacity at a 
Generating Facility may be granted conditional NR Interconnection 
Service status to the extent there is such capacity available on the 
Transmission System to accommodate the Interconnection Customer’s 
Generating Facility.  At the request of Interconnection Customer, 
conditional NR Interconnection Service status may be granted subject to 
the system being able to accommodate the interconnection without 
upgrades, until such time as higher queued project(s) with a later service 
date affecting the same common elements is placed into service.  The 
conditional NR Interconnection Service status may be converted to ER 
Interconnection Service if either of the following occurs:

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
 
1)  
Interconnection Customer fails to fund necessary studies and 
Network Upgrades required to allow the Interconnection 
Customer’s Generating Facility to receive NR Interconnection 
Service upon the completion of higher queued projects involving 
the same common elements; or 
 
2)  
The higher queued project(s) or planned and required Network 
Upgrades are placed in service and the Network Upgrades required 
to provide NR Interconnection Service status to the 
Interconnection Customer’s Generating Facility are not in service. 
 
In the event Interconnection Customer fails to fund the necessary studies 
and Network Upgrades for NR Interconnection Service, the 
Interconnection Customer’s conditional NR Interconnection Service status 
shall be converted to ER Interconnection Service status unless 
Interconnection Customer makes a new Interconnection Request.  Such 
new Interconnection Request shall be evaluated in accordance with the 
GIP and its new queue position.  
 
Some or all of the conditional NR Interconnection Service status may be 
temporarily revoked if the Network Upgrades are not in service when the 
higher queued project(s) are placed in service.  The availability of 
conditional NR Interconnection Service status will be determined by 
Transmission Provider’s studies.  Upon funding and completion of the 
Network Upgrades required to establish the Generating Facility’s NR 
Interconnection Service status, the Generating Facility will be granted NR 
Interconnection Service status. 
 
The Parties agree that the portion of the Generating Facility classified as 
NR Interconnection Service is the first portion of the output of the

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
combined output of all the units at the Generating Facility except in 
circumstances where Interconnection Customer otherwise elects this GIA, 
as amended, to allocate that portion to the output of specific unit(s) at the 
Generating Facility, the total of which will not exceed the output eligible 
for NR Interconnection Service as shown by the additional studies.  To the 
extent Interconnection Customer desires to obtain NR Interconnection 
Service for any portion of the Generating Facility in addition to that 
supported by such additional studies, Interconnection Customer will be 
required to request such additional NR Interconnection Service through a 
separate Interconnection Request in accordance with the GIP. 
 
4.1.3 Surplus Interconnection Service (SI). 
 
4.1.3.1 The Product.  Surplus Interconnection Service is restricted 
Interconnection Service that allows an Interconnection Customer to 
increase the gross generating capability at the same Point of 
Interconnection of an Existing Generating Facility without increasing the 
total amount of Interconnection Service at the Point of Interconnection.   
 
4.1.3.2 Transmission Delivery Service Implications.  Surplus Interconnection 
Service does not convey any right to deliver electricity to any specific 
customer or Point of Delivery.  
 
4.1.4 ZG Interconnection Service. 
 
4.1.4.1 The Product.  ZG Interconnection Service is restricted Interconnection 
Service that allows an Interconnection Customer to connect its Generating 
Facility to the Transmission System or Distribution System, as applicable, 
for the limited purpose of delivering Energy to a source of electrical load 
that is at the same substation as the Point of Interconnection to the 
Transmission System (i.e., same voltage level at the interconnecting

11031.0.0
substation) as the Generating Facility with ZG Interconnection Service 
that will serve it. 
 
 
This service is available only if the study required by Section 3.2.3.2 of 
the GIP determines that the proposed interconnection:   
(1) 
will not result in any injections of Energy onto the Transmission 
System beyond the substation identified in the Interconnection 
Request as the Point of Interconnection.  The restriction on Energy 
injection in this paragraph shall not apply to transient, limited 
injections associated with a reduction or loss of Load by the ZG 
Associated Load provided these remain within the Transient 
Tolerance Window established in the Business Practices Manual 
for Large Load.   
 
(2) 
will not require the construction or modification of any Network 
Upgrades to address impacts to the Transmission System with the 
exception of Network Upgrades located at the same substation as 
the POI and system protection facilities at adjacent substations.  
 
 
 
ZG Interconnection Service is specific to the ZG Associated Load(s) that the 
Generating Facility identifies in its Interconnection Request, and which shall be 
memorialized in the ZGIA.  The Generating Facility’s requesting ZG 
Interconnection Service will be dispatched, and granted service at a level not to 
exceed the total Demand of the ZG Associated Load. 
 
4.1.4.2 Transmission Delivery Service Implications.   
ZG Interconnection Service does not grant any right to inject energy onto 
the Transmission System beyond the Point of Interconnection except as 
may be authorized by Section 3.11.1(a) of these Generator Interconnection 
Procedures.  ZG Interconnection Service does not provide interconnection 
service for the purpose of serving Load other than the ZG Associated 
Load(s) identified in the Interconnection Request and memorialized in the

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
ZGIA. ZG Interconnection Service does not convey transmission service, 
which is obtained through a separate process, and does not provide a right 
to serve, or a right to transmission service to serve, a ZG Associated Load 
or retail customer except as allowed by state laws and regulations.   
 
 
4.2 
Provision of Service.  Transmission Provider shall provide Interconnection Service for 
the Generating Facility at the Point of Interconnection. 
 
4.3 
Performance Standards.  Each Party shall perform all of its obligations under this 
GIAZGIA in accordance with Applicable Laws and Regulations, Applicable Reliability 
Standards, and Good Utility Practice.  To the extent a Party is required or prevented or 
limited in taking any action by such regulations and standards, or if the obligations of any 
Party may become limited by a change in Applicable Laws and Regulations, Applicable 
Reliability Standards, and Good Utility Practice after the execution of this GIAZGIA, 
that Party shall not be deemed to be in Breach of this GIAZGIA for its compliance 
therewith.  The Party so limited shall notify the other Parties whereupon Transmission 
Provider shall amend this GIAZGIA in concurrence with the other Parties and submit the 
amendment to the Commission for approval.  The ZG Interconnection Service product 
does not supersede any state or local laws or regulations nor does it authorize operations 
that would violate state or local laws and regulations, including those establishing which 
entities have the right or obligation to serve load.  Interconnection Customers are 
separately responsible for adhering to all Applicable Laws and Regulations. 
 
4.4 
No Transmission Delivery Service.  The execution of this GIAZGIA does not constitute 
a request for, or the provision of, any transmission delivery service under the Tariff, and 
does not convey any right to deliver electricity to any specific customer or Point of 
Delivery.

minimis amount” means no more than 5 percent of the total power flows in 
both directions, calculated in accordance with the “5 percent test” set forth in 
IRS Notice 2016-36.  This is not intended to be an exclusive list of the relevant 
conditions that must be met to conform to IRS requirements for non-taxable 
treatment. 
 
At Transmission Owner’s request, Interconnection Customer shall provide 
Transmission Owner with a report from an independent engineer confirming its 
representation in clause (iii), above, with a copy to Transmission Provider.  
Transmission Owner represents and covenants that the cost of the Transmission 
Owner’s Interconnection Facilities paid for by Interconnection Customer will 
have no net effect on the base upon which rates are determined. 
 
5.17.3 
Indemnification for the Cost Consequences of Current Tax Liability Upon 
Transmission Owner.  Notwithstanding Article 5.17.1 and to the extent 
permitted by law, Interconnection Customer shall protect, indemnify and hold 
harmless Transmission Owner from the cost consequences of any tax liability 
imposed against Transmission Owner as the result of payments or property 
transfers made by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner under this 
GIAZGIA for Interconnection Facilities, as well as any interest and penalties, 
other than interest and penalties attributable to any delay caused by 
Transmission Owner. 
 
Transmission Owner shall not include a gross-up for the cost consequences of 
any current tax liability in the amounts it charges Interconnection Customer 
under this GIAZGIA unless (i) Transmission Owner has determined, in good 
faith, that the payments or property transfers made by Interconnection Customer 
to Transmission Owner should be reported as income subject to taxation or (ii) 
any Governmental Authority directs Transmission Owner to report payments or 
property as income subject to taxation; provided, however, that Transmission 
Owner may require Interconnection Customer to provide security for

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619
FERC Electric Tariff 
GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
Interconnection Facilities, in a form reasonably acceptable to Transmission 
Owner (such as a parental guarantee or a letter of credit), in an amount equal to 
the cost consequences or any current tax liability under this Article 5.17. 
Interconnection Customer shall reimburse Transmission Owner for such costs 
on a fully grossed-up basis, in accordance with Article 5.17.4, within thirty (30) 
Calendar Days of receiving written notification from Transmission Owner of the 
amount due, including detail about how the amount was calculated. 
 
The indemnification obligation shall terminate at the earlier of (1) the expiration 
of the ten-year testing period and the applicable statute of limitation, as it may 
be extended by Transmission Owner upon request of the IRS, to keep these 
years open for audit or adjustment, or (2) the occurrence of a subsequent taxable 
event and the payment of any related indemnification obligations as 
contemplated by this Article 5.17. 
 
5.17.4 
Tax Gross-Up Amount.  Interconnection Customer’s liability for the cost 
consequences of any current tax liability under this Article 5.17 shall be 
calculated on a fully grossed-up basis.  Except as may otherwise be agreed to by 
the parties, this means that Interconnection Customer will pay Transmission 
Owner, in addition to the amount paid for the Interconnection Facilities, 
Network Upgrades, Transmission Owner’s System Protection Facilities, and/or 
Distribution Upgrades, an amount equal to (1) the current taxes imposed on 
Transmission Owner (“Current Taxes”) on the excess of (a) the gross income 
realized by Transmission Owner as a result of payments or property transfers 
made by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner under this 
GIAZGIA (without regard to any payments under this Article 5.17) (the “Gross 
Income Amount”) over (b) the present value of future tax deductions for 
depreciation that will be available as a result of such payments or property 
transfers (the “Present Value Depreciation Amount”), plus (2) an additional 
amount sufficient to permit Transmission Owner to receive and retain, after the

payment of all Current Taxes, an amount equal to the net amount described in 
clause (1). 
 
For this purpose, (i) Current Taxes shall be computed based on Transmission 
Owner’s composite federal and state tax rates at the time the payments or 
property transfers are received and Transmission Owner will be treated as being 
subject to tax at the highest marginal rates in effect at that time (the “Current 
Tax Rate”), and (ii) the Present Value Depreciation Amount shall be computed 
by discounting Transmission Owner’s anticipated tax depreciation deductions as 
a result of such payments or property transfers by Transmission Owner’s current 
weighted average cost of capital.  Thus, the formula for calculating 
Interconnection Customer’s liability to Transmission Owner pursuant to this 
Article 5.17.4 can be expressed as follows: (Current Tax Rate x (Gross Income 
Amount – Present Value of Tax Depreciation))/(1-Current Tax Rate).  
Interconnection Customer’s estimated tax liability in the event taxes are 
imposed shall be stated in Appendix A, Interconnection Facilities, Network 
Upgrades and Distribution Upgrades. 
 
5.17.5 
Private Letter Ruling or Change or Clarification of Law.  At Interconnection 
Customer’s request and expense, Transmission Owner shall file with the IRS a 
request for a private letter ruling as to whether any property transferred or sums 
paid, or to be paid, by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner under 
this GIAZGIA are subject to federal income taxation.  Interconnection Customer 
will prepare the initial draft of the request for a private letter ruling, and will 
certify under penalties of perjury that all facts represented in such request are 
true and accurate to the best of Interconnection Customer’s knowledge.  
Transmission Owner and Interconnection Customer shall cooperate in good 
faith with respect to the submission of such request. 
 
Transmission Owner shall keep Interconnection Customer fully informed of the 
status of such request for a private letter ruling and shall execute either a privacy

act waiver or a limited power of attorney, in a form acceptable to the IRS, that 
authorizes Interconnection Customer to participate in all discussions with the 
IRS regarding such request for a private letter ruling.  Transmission Owner shall 
allow Interconnection Customer to attend all meetings with IRS officials about 
the request and shall permit Interconnection Customer to prepare the initial 
drafts of any follow-up letters in connection with the request.   
 
5.17.6 
Subsequent Taxable Events.  If, within 10 years from the date on which the 
relevant Transmission Owner’s Interconnection Facilities are placed in service, 
(i) Interconnection Customer breaches the covenant contained in Article 5.17.2, 
(ii) a “disqualification event” occurs within the meaning of IRS Notice 88-129, 
or (iii) this GIAZGIA terminates and Transmission Owner retains ownership of 
the Interconnection Facilities, Network Upgrades, Transmission Owner’s 
System Protection Facilities, and/or Distribution Upgrades, Interconnection 
Customer shall pay a tax gross-up for the cost consequences of any current tax 
liability imposed on Transmission Owner, calculated using the methodology 
described in Article 5.17.4 and in accordance with IRS Notice 90-60. 
 
5.17.7 
Contests.  In the event any Governmental Authority determines that 
Transmission Owner’s receipt of payments or property constitutes income that 
is subject to taxation, Transmission Owner shall notify Interconnection 
Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) Calendar Days of receiving notification 
of such determination by a Governmental Authority.  Upon the timely written 
request by Interconnection Customer and at Interconnection Customer’s sole 
expense, Transmission Owner may appeal, protest, seek abatement of, or 
otherwise oppose such determination.  Upon Interconnection Customer’s written 
request and sole expense, Transmission Owner shall file a claim for refund with 
respect to any taxes paid under this Article 5.17, whether or not it has received 
such a determination.  Transmission Owner reserves the right to make all 
decisions with regard to the prosecution of such appeal, protest, abatement or 
other contest, including the selection of counsel and compromise or settlement

of the claim, but Transmission Owner shall keep Interconnection Customer 
informed, shall consider in good faith suggestions from Interconnection 
Customer about the conduct of the contest, and shall reasonably permit 
Interconnection Customer or an Interconnection Customer representative to 
attend contest proceedings. 
 
Interconnection Customer shall pay to Transmission Owner on a periodic basis, 
as invoiced by Transmission Owner, Transmission Owner’s documented 
reasonable costs of prosecuting such appeal, protest, abatement or other contest.  
At any time during the contest, Transmission Owner may agree to a settlement 
either with Interconnection Customer’s consent or after obtaining written advice 
from nationally-recognized tax counsel, selected by Transmission Owner, but 
reasonably acceptable to Interconnection Customer, that the proposed settlement 
represents a reasonable settlement given the hazards of litigation.  
Interconnection Customer’s obligation shall be based on the amount of the 
settlement agreed to by Interconnection Customer, or if a higher amount, so 
much of the settlement that is supported by the written advice from nationally-
recognized tax counsel selected under the terms of the preceding sentence.  The 
settlement amount shall be calculated on a fully grossed-up basis to cover any 
related cost consequences of the current tax liability.  Any settlement without 
Interconnection Customer’s consent or such written advice will relieve 
Interconnection Customer from any obligation to indemnify Transmission 
Owner for the tax at issue in the contest. 
 
5.17.8 
Refund.  In the event that (a) a private letter ruling is issued to Transmission 
Owner which holds that any amount paid or the value of any property 
transferred by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner under the 
terms of this GIAZGIA is not subject to federal income taxation, (b) any 
legislative change or administrative announcement, notice, ruling or other 
determination makes it reasonably clear to Transmission Owner in good faith 
that any amount paid or the value of any property transferred by Interconnection

taxable to Transmission Owner, (c) any abatement, appeal, protest, or other 
contest results in a determination that any payments or transfers made by 
Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner are not subject to federal 
income tax, or (d) if Transmission Owner receives a refund from any taxing 
authority for any overpayment of tax attributable to any payment or property 
transfer made by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner pursuant to 
this GIAZGIA, Transmission Owner shall promptly refund to Interconnection 
Customer the following: 
 
any payment made by Interconnection Customer under this Article 5.17 
for taxes that is attributable to the amount determined to be non-taxable, 
together with interest thereon, 
 
(ii) interest on any amounts paid by Interconnection Customer to 
Transmission Owner for such taxes which Transmission Owner did not 
submit to the taxing authority, calculated in accordance with the 
methodology set forth in 18 C.F.R. Section 35.19a(a)(2)(iii) from the date 
payment was made by Interconnection Customer to the date Transmission 
Owner refunds such payment to Interconnection Customer, and 
 
(iii) with respect to any such taxes paid by Transmission Owner, any 
refund or credit Transmission Owner receives or to which it may be 
entitled from any Governmental Authority, interest (or that portion thereof 
attributable to the payment described in clause (i), above) owed to 
Transmission Owner for such overpayment of taxes (including any 
reduction in interest otherwise payable by Transmission Owner to any 
Governmental Authority resulting from an offset or credit); provided, 
however, that Transmission Owner will remit such amount promptly to 
Interconnection Customer only after and to the extent that Transmission 
Owner has received a tax refund, credit or offset from any Governmental

Authority for any applicable overpayment of income tax related to the 
Transmission Owner’s Interconnection Facilities. 
 
The intent of this provision is to leave both parties, to the extent 
practicable, in the event that no taxes are due with respect to any payment 
for Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades hereunder, in the 
same position they would have been in had no such tax payments been 
made. 
 
5.17.9 
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes.  Upon the timely request by Interconnection 
Customer, and at Interconnection Customer’s sole expense, Transmission 
Owner shall appeal, protest, seek abatement of, or otherwise contest any tax 
(other than federal or state income tax) asserted or assessed against 
Transmission Owner for which Interconnection Customer may be required to 
reimburse Transmission Owner under the terms of this GIAZGIA.  
Interconnection Customer shall pay to Transmission Owner on a periodic basis, 
as invoiced by Transmission Owner, Transmission Owner’s documented 
reasonable costs of prosecuting such appeal, protest, abatement, or other contest.  
Interconnection Customer and Transmission Owner shall cooperate in good 
faith with respect to any such contest.  Unless the payment of such taxes is a 
prerequisite to an appeal or abatement or cannot be deferred, no amount shall be 
payable by Interconnection Customer to Transmission Owner for such taxes 
until they are assessed by a final, non-appealable order by any court or agency 
of competent jurisdiction.  In the event that a tax payment is withheld and 
ultimately due and payable after appeal, Interconnection Customer will be 
responsible for all taxes, interest and penalties, other than penalties attributable 
to any delay caused by Transmission Owner. 
 
5.18 
Tax Status.  Each Party shall cooperate with the other Parties to maintain each Party’s 
tax status.  Nothing in this GIAZGIA is intended to adversely affect any Party’s tax-

7.4 
Testing of Metering Equipment.  The Metering Party shall inspect and test Metering 
Equipment upon installation and at least once every two (2) years thereafter.  If requested 
to do so by a Party, the Metering Party shall, at the requesting Party’s expense, inspect or 
test Metering Equipment more frequently than every two (2) years.  The Metering Party 
shall give reasonable notice to the other Parties of the time when any inspection or test 
shall take place, and the other Parties may have representatives present at the test or 
inspection.  If at any time Metering Equipment is found to be inaccurate or defective, it 
shall be adjusted, repaired or replaced at Interconnection Customer’s expense, in order to 
provide accurate metering, unless the inaccuracy or defect is due to the Metering Party’s 
failure to maintain, then the Metering Party shall pay.  If Metering Equipment fails to 
register, or if the measurement made by Metering Equipment during a test varies by more 
than two percent (2%) from the measurement made by the standard meter used in the test, 
the Metering Party shall adjust the measurements by correcting all measurements for the 
period during which Metering Equipment was in error by using Interconnection 
Customer’s check meters, if installed.  If no such check meters are installed or if the 
period cannot be reasonably ascertained, the adjustment shall be for the period 
immediately preceding the test of the Metering Equipment equal to one-half the time 
from the date of the previous test of the Metering Equipment. 
 
7.5 
Metering Data.  At Interconnection Customer’s expense, the metered data shall be 
telemetered to one or more locations designated by Transmission Provider and 
Transmission Owner and one or more locations designated by Interconnection Customer.  
Such telemetered data shall be used, under normal operating conditions, as the official 
measurement of the amount of energy delivered from the Generating Facility to the Point 
of Interconnection.

Interconnection Customer shall ensure the primary frequency response capability 
of its Generating Facility by installing, maintaining, and operating a functioning 
governor or equivalent controls. The term “functioning governor or equivalent 
controls” as used herein shall mean the required hardware and/or software that 
provides frequency responsive real power control with the ability to sense 
changes in system frequency and autonomously adjust the Generating Facility’s 
real power output in accordance with the droop and deadband parameters and in 
the direction needed to correct frequency deviations. Interconnection Customer is 
required to install a governor or equivalent controls with the capability of 
operating: (1) with a maximum 5 percent droop and ±0.036 Hz deadband; or (2) 
in accordance with the relevant droop, deadband, and timely and sustained 
response settings from an approved Reliability Organization reliability standard 
providing for equivalent or more stringent parameters.  The droop characteristic 
shall be: (1) based on the nameplate capacity of the Generating Facility, and shall 
be linear in the range of frequencies between 59 to 61 Hz that are outside of the 
deadband parameter; or (2) based on an approved Electric Reliability 
Organization reliability standard providing for an equivalent or more stringent 
parameter.  The deadband parameter shall be: the range of frequencies above and 
below nominal (60 Hz) in which the governor or equivalent controls is not 
expected to adjust the Generating Facility’s real power output in response to 
frequency deviations.  The deadband shall be implemented: (1) without a step to 
the droop curve, that is, once the frequency deviation exceeds the deadband 
parameter, the expected change in the Generating Facility’s real power output in 
response to frequency deviations shall start from zero and then increase (for 
under-frequency deviations) or decrease (for over-frequency deviations) linearly 
in proportion to the magnitude of the frequency deviation; or (2) in accordance 
with an approved Electric Reliability Organization Reliability Standard providing 
for an equivalent or more stringent parameter. Interconnection Customer shall 
notify Transmission Provider that the primary frequency response capability of 
the Generating Facility has been tested and confirmed during commissioning. 
Once Interconnection Customer has synchronized the Generating Facility with the

Facility consistent with the provisions specified in Articles 9.6.4.1 and 9.6.4.2 of 
this GIAZGIA. The primary frequency response requirements contained herein 
shall apply to both synchronous and inverter-based resource plant Generating 
Facilities. 
 
9.6.4.1  Governor or Equivalent Controls. Whenever the Generating Facility is 
operated in parallel with the Transmission System, Interconnection 
Customer shall operate the Generating Facility with its governor or 
equivalent controls in service and responsive to frequency. 
Interconnection Customer shall: (1) in coordination with Transmission 
Provider and/or the relevant balancing authority, set the deadband 
parameter to: (a) a maximum of ±0.036 Hz and set the droop parameter 
to a maximum of 5 percent; or (b) implement the relevant droop and 
deadband settings from an approved Regional Reliability Organization 
reliability standard that provides for equivalent or more stringent 
parameters. Interconnection Customer shall be required to provide the 
status and settings of the governor or equivalent controls to 
Transmission Provider and/or the relevant balancing authority upon 
request. If Interconnection Customer needs to operate the Generating 
Facility with its governor or equivalent controls not in service, 
Interconnection Customer shall immediately notify Transmission 
Provider and the relevant balancing authority, and provide both with the 
following information: (1) the operating status of the governor or 
equivalent controls (i.e., whether it is currently out of service or when it 
will be taken out of service); (2) the reasons for removing the governor 
or equivalent controls from service; and (3) a reasonable estimate of 
when the governor or equivalent controls will be returned to service. 
Interconnection Customer shall make Reasonable Efforts to return its 
governor or equivalent controls into service as soon as practicable. 
Interconnection Customer shall make Reasonable Efforts to keep

minimum whenever the Generating Facility is operated in parallel with 
the Transmission System. 
 
9.6.4.2  Timely and Sustained Response. Interconnection Customer shall 
ensure that the Generating Facility’s real power response to sustained 
frequency deviations outside of the deadband setting is automatically 
provided and shall begin immediately after frequency deviates outside of 
the deadband, and to the extent the Generating Facility has operating 
capability in the direction needed to correct the frequency deviation. 
Interconnection Customer shall not block or otherwise inhibit the ability 
of the governor or equivalent controls to respond and shall ensure that 
the response is not inhibited, except under certain operational constraints 
including, but not limited to, ambient temperature limitations, physical 
energy limitations, outages of mechanical equipment, or regulatory 
requirements. The Generating Facility shall sustain the real power 
response at least until system frequency returns to a value within the 
deadband setting of the governor or equivalent controls. A Commission-
approved reliability standard with equivalent or more stringent 
requirements shall supersede the above requirements. 
 
9.6.4.3  Exemptions. Generating Facilities that are regulated by the United 
States Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall be exempt from Articles 
9.6.4, 9.6.4.1, and 9.6.4.2 of this GIAZGIA. Generating Facilities that 
are behind the meter generation that is sized-to-load (i.e., the thermal 
load and the generation are near-balanced in real-time operation and the 
generation is primarily controlled to maintain the unique thermal, 
chemical, or mechanical output necessary for the operating requirements

conditions set forth in Articles 9.6.4, 9.6.4.1, 9.6.4.2 and 9.6.4.3 of this 
GIAZGIA. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is 
static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of 
frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration 
that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in 
the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations 
outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the

guidelines that are applied to other Generating Facilities in the Balancing 
Authority Area on a comparable basis.  For abnormal frequency conditions and 
voltage conditions within the “no trip zone” defined by Reliability Standard PRC-
024-3 or successor mandatory ride through reliability standards, the non-
synchronous Generating Facility must ensure that, within any physical limitations 
of the Generating Facility, its control and protection settings are configured or set 
to (1) continue active power production during disturbance and post disturbance 
periods at pre-disturbance levels, unless providing primary frequency response or 
fast frequency response; (2) minimize reductions in active power and remain 
within dynamic voltage and current limits, if reactive power priority mode is 
enabled, unless providing primary frequency response or fast frequency response; 
(3) not artificially limit dynamic reactive power capability during disturbances; 
and (4) return to pre-disturbance active power levels without artificial ramp rate 
limits if active power is reduced, unless providing primary frequency response or 
fast frequency response.

completed, Transmission Provider may determine, in its discretion, that a restudy 
is required.  If a restudy is required, Transmission Provider will provide notice to 
Interconnection Customer and Interconnection Customer agrees to enter into an 
Interconnection Study Agreement for such restudy.  Transmission Provider will 
reevaluate the need for any Common Use Upgrade(s) and/or Shared Network 
Upgrade(s), and if still required, reallocate the cost and responsibility for any 
Common Use Upgrade and/or Shared Network Upgrade, without a restudy when 
possible, or with a restudy if the Transmission Provider deems it necessary in 
order to ensure reliability of the Transmission System.  The Parties agree to 
amend Appendix A to this GIAZGIA in accordance with Article 30.10 to reflect

11.4.1 
Repayment of Amounts Advanced for Network Upgrades.  Interconnection 
Customer shall be entitled to a cash repayment by Transmission Owner(s)  and 
the Affected System Owner(s) that own the Network Upgrades, of the amount 
paid respectively to Transmission Owner and Affected System Operator, if any, 
for the Network Upgrades, as provided under Attachment FF of this Tariff and 
including any tax gross-up or other tax-related payments associated with the 
repayable portion of the Network Upgrades, and not repaid to Interconnection 
Customer pursuant to Article 5.17.8 or otherwise, to be paid to Interconnection 
Customer on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the non-usage sensitive portion of 
transmission charges, as payments are made under the Tariff and Affected 
System’s Tariff for Transmission Services with respect to the Generating 
Facility.  Any repayment shall include interest calculated in accordance with the 
methodology set forth in FERC’s regulations at 18 C.F.R. § 35.19 (a)(2)(iii) 
from the date of any payment for Network Upgrades through the date on which 
Interconnection Customer receives a repayment of such payment pursuant to 
this subparagraph.  Interest shall not accrue during periods in which 
Interconnection Customer has suspended construction pursuant to Article 11 or 
the Network Upgrades have been determined not to be needed pursuant to this 
Article 11.4.1.  Interconnection Customer may assign such repayment rights to 
any person.

provided under Attachment FF shall be established equal to the applicable rate 
for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service for the pricing zone where the 
Network Load is located multiplied by the portion of the demonstrated output of 
the Generating Facility designated as a Network Resource by the Network 
Customer(s) or in the absence of such designation, equal to the monthly firm 
single system-wide rate defined under Schedule 7 of the Tariff multiplied by the 
portion of the demonstrated output of the Generating Facility under contract to 
Network Customer(s) and consistent with studies pursuant to Section 3.2.2.2 of 
the GIP. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as applicable and consistent with the provisions 
of Attachment FF of this Tariff, Interconnection Customer, Transmission 
Provider, Transmission Owner, and Affected System Operator may adopt any 
alternative payment schedule that is mutually agreeable so long as Transmission 
Owner and Affected System Operator take one of the following actions no later 
than five (5) years from the Commercial Operation Date:  (1) return to 
Interconnection Customer any amounts advanced for Network Upgrades not 
previously repaid, or (2) declare in writing that Transmission Owner or Affected 
System Operator will continue to provide payments to Interconnection 
Customer on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the non-usage sensitive portion of 
transmission charges, or develop an alternative schedule that is mutually 
agreeable and provides for the return of all amounts advanced for Network 
Upgrades not previously repaid; however, full reimbursement shall not extend 
beyond twenty (20) years from the Commercial Operation Date. 
 
If the Generating Facility is installed in phases, the amount eligible for refund as 
each phase achieves Commercial Operation will be reduced by the proportional 
amount of generation capacity not yet installed.  However, all facilities in 
Appendix A other than the Generating Facility shall be built without 
consideration for the phasing of the Generating Facility as though the entire 
Generating Facility will be placed in Commercial Operation for the full output

or increased output of the Generating Facility constructed by Interconnection 
Customer under this GIAZGIA. 
 
If the Generating Facility fails to achieve Commercial Operation, but it or 
another generating facility is later constructed and makes use of the Network 
Upgrades, Transmission Owner and Affected System Operator shall at that time 
reimburse Interconnection Customer for the remaining applicable amounts that 
may be refundable pursuant to Attachment FF of this Tariff that were advanced 
for the Network Upgrades on their respective systems as described above.  
Before any such reimbursement can occur, Interconnection Customer, or the 
entity that ultimately constructs the Generating Facility, if different, is 
responsible for identifying the entity to which the reimbursement must be made.   
 
11.4.2 
Special Provisions for Transmission Provider as an Affected System to be 
covered under Separate Agreements.  When the Transmission Owner’s 
Transmission or Distribution System (including for this Article 11.4.2 
independent distribution systems connected to the Transmission System) is an 
Affected System for an interconnection in another electric system, Transmission 
Provider will coordinate the performance of Interconnection Studies with the 
other system.  Transmission Provider will determine if any Network Upgrades 
or Distribution Upgrades, which may be required on the Transmission System 
as a result of the interconnection, would not have been needed but for the 
interconnection.  Unless Transmission Owner provides, under the 
interconnection agreement between Interconnection Customer and the other 
system, for the repayment of amounts advanced to Transmission Provider or an 
impacted Transmission Owner for Network Upgrades, Interconnection 
Customer, Transmission Provider, and the impacted  Transmission Owner(s) 
shall enter into an agreement that provides for such repayment by Transmission 
Owner(s) as directed by Transmission Provider.  The agreement shall specify 
the terms governing payments to be made by Interconnection Customer to the

MISO

Affected System Operator as well as the payment of refunds by the Affected 
System Operator. 
 
11.4.3 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this GIAZGIA, nothing herein shall be 
construed as relinquishing or foreclosing any rights, including but not limited to 
firm transmission rights, capacity rights, transmission congestion rights, or 
transmission credits, that Interconnection Customer, shall be entitled to, now or 
in the future under any other agreement or tariff as a result of, or otherwise 
associated with, the transmission capacity, if any, created by the Network 
Upgrades, including the right to obtain cash reimbursement or transmission 
credits for transmission service that is not associated with the Generating 
Facility.

Interconnection Customer is responsible for making the initial payment for the total cost 
of Network Upgrades (excluding JTIQ Upgrades) or Transmission Owner’s System 
Protection Facilities in the form of security pursuant to Article 11.6.  For upgrades where 
the Transmission Owner did not elect to self-fund, the Interconnection Customer shall 
elect (and provide its election to the Transmission Provider within five days of the 
commencement of negotiation of the GIAZGIA pursuant to Section 11.2 of the GIP) to 
make either 1) an initial payment equal to twenty (20) percent of the total cost of 
Network Upgrades (excluding JTIQ Upgrades), Transmission Owner Interconnection 
Facilities, Transmission Owner’s System Protection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades 
and/or Generator Upgrades (if the In-Service Date is less than or equal to five (5) years of 
the initial payment date); or 2) an initial payment equal to ten (10) percent of the total 
cost of Network Upgrades (excluding JTIQ Upgrades), Transmission Owner 
Interconnection Facilities, Transmission Owner’s System Protection Facilities,

Facilities during an Emergency Condition in order to (i) preserve public health and 
safety, (ii) preserve the reliability of the Generating Facility or the Interconnection 
Customer’s Interconnection Facilities, (iii) limit or prevent damage, and (iv) expedite 
restoration of service.  Interconnection Customer shall use Reasonable Efforts to

set forth in the Tariff shall be additionally applicable to any Party acting in good faith to 
implement or comply with its obligations under this GIAZGIA, regardless of whether the 
obligation is preceded by a specific directive. 
 
18.2 
Indemnity.  To the extent permitted by law, an Indemnifying Party shall at all times 
indemnify, defend and hold the other Parties harmless from Loss. 
 
18.2.1 
Indemnified Party.  If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under 
this Article 18 as a result of a claim by a non-Party, and the Indemnifying Party 
fails, after notice and reasonable opportunity to proceed under Article 18.2, to 
assume the defense of such claim, such Indemnified Party may at the expense of 
the Indemnifying Party contest, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment 
with respect to, or pay in full, such claim. 
 
18.2.2 
Indemnifying Party.  If an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify and 
hold any Indemnified Party harmless under this Article 18, the amount owing to 
the Indemnified Party shall be the amount of such Indemnified Party’s actual 
Loss, net of any insurance or other recovery. 
 
18.2.3 
Indemnity Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of any 
claim or notice of the commencement of any action or administrative or legal 
proceeding or investigation as to which the indemnity provided for in 
Article 18.2 may apply, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying 
Party of such fact.  Any failure of or delay in such notification shall not affect a 
Party’s indemnification obligation unless such failure or delay is materially 
prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. 
 
The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with 
counsel designated by such Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to

MISO

Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party and if the Indemnified Party 
reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or 
other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those 
available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to 
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate 
in the defense of such action on its own behalf.  In such instances, the 
Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay the fees and expenses of one 
additional attorney to represent an Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties 
having such differing or additional legal defenses. 
 
The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any such 
action, suit or proceeding, the defense of which has been assumed by the 
Indemnifying Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party 
(i) shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, 
suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the opinion of the Indemnified 
Party and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential 
imposition of criminal liability on the Indemnified Party, or there exists a 
conflict or adversity of interest between the Indemnified Party and the 
Indemnifying Party, in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the 
reasonable expenses of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) shall not settle or consent 
to the entry of any judgment in any action, suit or proceeding without the 
consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be reasonably withheld, 
conditioned or delayed. 
 
18.3 Consequential Damages.  Other than the Liquidated Damages heretofore described, in 
no event shall either Party be liable under any provision of this GIAZGIA for any losses, 
damages, costs or expenses for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive 
damages, including but not limited to loss of profit or revenue, loss of the use of 
equipment, cost of capital, cost of temporary equipment or services, whether based in

issued to each, except the insurer’s liability shall not be increased beyond the 
amount for which the insurer would have been liable had only one insured been 
covered.  Each Party shall be responsible for its respective deductibles or 
retentions.

any event within ninety (90) Calendar Days thereafter, Interconnection 
Customer and Transmission Owner shall provide the other Party with 
certification of all insurance required in this GIAZGIA, executed by each

consent of the other Parties to any Affiliate of the assigning Party with an equal or greater 
credit rating and with the legal authority and operational ability to satisfy the obligations 
of the assigning Party under this GIAZGIA; and provided further that Interconnection 
Customer shall have the right to assign this GIAZGIA, without the consent of either

potential purchasers or assignees of Interconnection Customer, on a need-to-
know basis in connection with this GIAZGIA, unless such person has first been 
advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Article 22 and has agreed to 
comply with such provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party providing 
Confidential Information to any person shall remain primarily responsible for 
any release of Confidential Information in contravention of this Article 22. 
 
22.1.4 
Rights.  Each Party retains all rights, title, and interest in the Confidential 
Information that it discloses to the receiving Party.  The disclosure by a Party to 
the receiving Party of Confidential Information shall not be deemed a waiver by 
the disclosing Party or any other person or entity of the right to protect the 
Confidential Information from public disclosure. 
 
22.1.5 
No Warranties.  By providing Confidential Information, no Party makes any 
warranties or representations as to its accuracy or completeness.  In addition, by 
supplying Confidential Information, no Party obligates itself to provide any 
particular information or Confidential Information to another Party nor to enter 
into any further agreements or proceed with any other relationship or joint 
venture. 
 
22.1.6 
Standard of Care.  Each Party shall use at least the same standard of care to 
protect Confidential Information it receives as it uses to protect its own

MISO 
Attachment X: Appendix 619

obligations to another Party under this GIAZGIA or its regulatory requirements. 
 
22.1.7 
Order of Disclosure.  If a court or a Governmental Authority or entity with the 
right, power, and apparent authority to do so requests or requires any Party, by 
subpoena, oral deposition, interrogatories, requests for production of documents, 
administrative order, or otherwise, to disclose Confidential Information, that 
Party shall provide the disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request(s) or 
requirement(s) so that the disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective 
order or waive compliance with the terms of this GIAZGIA.  Notwithstanding 
the absence of a protective order or waiver, the Party may disclose such 
Confidential Information which, in the opinion of its counsel, the Party is 
legally compelled to disclose.  Each Party will use Reasonable Efforts to obtain 
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential 
Information so furnished. 
 
22.1.8 
Termination of Agreement.  Upon termination of this GIAZGIA for any reason, 
each Party shall, within ten (10) Calendar Days of receipt of a written request 
from another Party, use Reasonable Efforts to destroy, erase, or delete (with 
such destruction, erasure, and deletion certified in writing to the requesting 
Party) or return to the requesting Party, without retaining copies thereof, any 
and all written or electronic Confidential Information received from the 
requesting Party, except that each Party may keep one copy for archival 
purposes, provided that the obligation to treat it as Confidential Information in 
accordance with this Article 22 shall survive such termination. 
 
22.1.9 
Remedies.  The Parties agree that monetary damages would be inadequate to 
compensate a Party for another Party’s Breach of its obligations under this 
Article 22.  Each Party accordingly agrees that the disclosing Party shall be 
entitled to equitable relief, by way of injunction or otherwise, if the receiving

GeneratorZG Interconnection Agreement (GIAZGIA)
ATTACHMENTS 
11031.0.0
Party Breaches or threatens to Breach its obligations under this Article 22, 
which equitable relief shall be granted without bond or proof of damages, and 
the Breaching Party shall not plead in defense that there would be an adequate 
remedy at law.  Such remedy shall not be deemed an exclusive remedy for the 
Breach of this Article 22, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available 
at law or in equity.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the 
covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of legitimate 
business interests and are reasonable in scope.  No Party, however, shall be 
liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential or punitive damages of any 
nature or kind resulting from or arising in connection with this Article 22. 
 
22.1.10  Disclosure to FERC, its Staff or a State.  Notwithstanding anything in this 
Article 22 to the contrary, and pursuant to 18 CFR § 1b.20, if FERC or its staff, 
during the course of an investigation or otherwise, requests information from a 
Party that is otherwise required to be maintained in confidence pursuant to this 
GIAZGIA, the Party shall provide the requested information to FERC or its 
staff, within the time provided for in the request for information.  In providing 
the information to FERC or its staff, the Party must, consistent with 18 CFR 
§ 388.112, request that the information be treated as confidential and non-public 
by FERC and its staff and that the information be withheld from public 
disclosure.  Parties are prohibited from notifying the other Parties to this 
GIAZGIA prior to the release of the Confidential Information to FERC or its 
staff.  The Party shall notify the other Parties to this GIAZGIA when it is 
notified by FERC or its staff that a request to release Confidential Information 
has been received by FERC, at which time any of the Parties may respond 
before such information would be made public, pursuant to 18 CFR § 388.112.  
Requests from a state regulatory body conducting a confidential investigation 
shall be treated in a similar manner if consistent with the applicable state rules 
and regulations.

comply.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, notification, cooperation or information 
provided under this Article shall not entitle any Party receiving such notification to allege 
a cause for anticipatory breach of this GIAZGIA.  
 
25.3 
Audit Rights.  Subject to the requirements of confidentiality under Article 22 of this 
GIAZGIA, each Party shall have the right, during normal business hours, and upon prior 
reasonable notice to the other Parties, to audit at its own expense the other Parties’

Applicability   
IBR plants that are, or have been, interconnected to the network at the effective date of 
the Appendix G abnormal voltage ride-through standard are exempt from meeting the Appendix 
G abnormal voltage ride-through standard for the remaining life of the existing generation 
equipment.  Except for IBR plants actively undergoing a Generating Facility Replacement at the 
effective date of this GIAZGIA  that have equipment on order where the OEM has documented 
performance that differs from what is required in this GIAZGIA, all individual IBR units that are 
replaced are required to meet the Appendix G performance requirements.   
The IEEE 2800-2022 requirements cited in Section A (IEEE 2800-2022 Clause 4) and 
Section B (IEEE 2800-2022 Clause 7, except Subclause 7.2.2.4) of Appendix G shall apply to 
IBR plants in the DPP-2022-Cycle and beyond.  For the DPP-2022-Cycle, Interconnection 
Customers may request exceptions confined to these sections only if specific limitations or 
uncertainties of equipment or plant capabilities prevent implementation of these requirements.  
GIAsZGIAs signed or amended with inverter changes on or after January 1, 2025, are not 
eligible for requirement exceptions. Further, the process for establishing exceptions for these 
requirements shall not apply beyond the DPP-2022-Cycle.  
The IEEE 2800-2022 requirements cited in Section B (IEEE 2800-2022 Subclause 
7.2.2.4), Section C (IEEE 2800-2022 Clause 5), and Section D (IEEE 2800.2022 Clause 6) of 
Appendix G shall apply to IBR plants in the DPP-2023-Cycle and beyond.  For the DPP-2023-
Cycle, Generating Facilities Replacements, and Surplus Interconnections, Interconnection 
Customers may request exceptions confined to these sections only if specific limitations or 
uncertainties of equipment or plant capabilities prevent implementation of these requirements.  
GIAsZGIAs signed or amended with inverter changes on or after January 1, 2026, are not 
eligible for requirement exceptions.  Further, the process for establishing exceptions for these 
requirements shall not apply beyond the DPP-2023-Cycle.  
Interconnection Customers requesting exceptions shall submit documentation to the 
Transmission Provider outlining the specific IEEE 2800-2022 subclauses pertinent to the request 
along with information from the manufacturer regarding the nature of the issue conforming to or 
assessing conformance with requirements herein.  The Transmission Provider will, in good faith,

Interconnection Requirements for Provisional GIAZGIA 
 
Provisional Agreement 
 
This GIAZGIA is being provided in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Transmission 
Provider’s GIP, which provides among other things, that an Interconnection Customer may 
request that Transmission Provider provide Interconnection Customer with a Provisional 
Generator Interconnection Agreement that limits the transfer of energy by Interconnection 
Customer commensurate with that allowed for Energy Resource Interconnection Service.  
Interconnection Customer requested Transmission Provider to provide a Provisional Generator 
Interconnection Agreement for limited operation at the discretion of Transmission Provider 
based upon the results of available studies (by Interconnection Customer and by Transmission 
Provider). 
 
A Provisional Interconnection Study, the results of which are posted on the confidential portion 
of the Transmission Provider’s internet website, was performed by Transmission Provider in 
order to confirm the facilities that are required for provisional Interconnection Service and to 
require them to be in place prior to commencement of service under the GIAZGIA.   
 
Interconnection Customer represents that the Interconnection Customer facilities (including 
Network Upgrades, Interconnection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades, System Protection 
Upgrades and/or Generator Upgrades) that are necessary to commence provisional 
Interconnection Service and meet the requirements of Electric Reliability Organization, or any 
applicable regional entity for the interconnection of a new generator are in place prior to the 
commencement of generation from the Generating Facility and will remain in place during the 
term of the service.  The requisite Interconnection Studies were performed for the Generating 
Facility.  Interconnection Customer shall meet any additional requirements (including reactive 
power requirements) pursuant to the results of applicable future Interconnection System Impact 
Studies.  Until such time as the applicable Interconnection Studies and any identified facilities

are completed, the output of the Generating Facility will operate within the output limit 
prescribed in a future, if applicable, operating guide. 
 
The maximum permissible output of the Generating Facility under Appendix A will be updated 
by Transmission Provider on a quarterly basis, determined in accordance with Section 11.5 of the 
GIP, by finding the transfer limit of energy commensurate with the analysis for Energy Resource 
Interconnection Service (“ERIS”).  This study shall be performed assuming the system topology 
represented by the base cases used to calculate Available Flowgate Capability, as described in 
Attachment C of the Tariff, with dispatch and optimization algorithms posted on the MISO 
internet site and operation above those limits will be deemed as unauthorized use of the 
Transmission System and subject to provisions in the Tariff surrounding that use.   
 
Use of interim operating guide 
 
Implementation of interim operating guide, if applicable, will constitute an interim solution that 
will permit Interconnection Customer to operate the Generating Facility under conditional 
Interconnection Service until planned Network Upgrades are constructed.  Any interim operating 
guide will be subject to the approval of Transmission Owner and Transmission Provider.  
Minimum requirements for an interim operating guide are as indicated below. 
 
 *   Transmission Operator will have control of breaker(s) dedicated to the Generating Facility 
and will be able to trip the Interconnection Customer’s Generating Facility 
 *   Protection schemes must be tested and operative 
 *   Interconnection Customer will provide continuous communication capability with the 
Generator Operator 
 *   Interconnection Customer and the owner of the Existing Generating Facility will enter into 
an operating agreement or similar agreement which designates, among other things, the 
responsibilities and authorities of each of the parties and shall be subject to the acceptance of 
Transmission Provider and Transmission Owner.

 *   A termination date consistent with completion of construction of Network Upgrades will be 
included as part of all operating guides accepted by Transmission Owner and Transmission 
Provider. 
 
Interconnection Customer assumes all risks and liabilities with respect to changes, which may 
impact the Generator Interconnection Agreement including, but not limited to, change in output 
limits and responsibilities for future Network Upgrade and cost responsibilities that have not yet 
been identified on the direct connect Transmission System as well as all affected Transmission, 
Distribution or Generation System(s) including non-Transmission Provider Systems.  Such 
upgrades will be determined pursuant to the Tariff and Policies in effect at the time of the 
Interconnection Studies.
