Safety Moment Heat Exhaustion
bull Heat exhaustion symptoms include being pale ashen
or moist muscle cramps fatigue weakness or
dizziness
bull Be cognizant of compounded effects when working in
front of a grill youll get tired much faster than you
normally would based on the weather alone
bull Heat exhaustion can evolve into heat stroke quickly so
monitor symptoms and immediately move victims to
shaded or air-conditioned areas
bull Provide water or other cool nonalcoholic beverages
but dont force it
bull Seek medical attention immediately if body temperature
is above 103 or the individual is unresponsive

| July Interconnection Webinar | July 16 2020
Payment extensions are no longer applicable
The company is working close to blue sky operations
however we will continue to monitor the situation as it develops
There have been very few Force Majeure impacts to cases which
were managed closely with the impacted developers
Payment due dates are not extended by Force Majeure per Tariff
Updates will continue to be posted

New Storage Case Fields
New Application for Generation without Storage
New Application for Generation and Storage
New Application for Stand Alone Energy Storage
Add Storage to Existing Generation
AC-Coupled
DC-Coupled
Separate PCC
Electric Grid Only
Unrestricted Electric Grid or Generation
Restricted Electric Grid or Generation
Generation Only
Electric Grid Only
Unrestricted Electric Grid or Onsite Load
Restricted Electric Grid or Onsite Load
Onsite Load Only
AC Storage are included in the system size when determining if an application is simplified
expedited or standard so Storage AC kW is important to route application correctly
The Storage Charging Capability and Storage Discharging Capability values should match the
note on the one-line indicating how the storage will charge and discharge
8National Grid | July Interconnection Webinar | July 16 2020
Energy Storage System (ESS) Assets
The Inverter Information
This is the inverter for the ESS not the ESS itself
For DC coupled this is often the same inverter as the solar for example a SolarEdge inverter
For AC coupled this can be a separate inverter or the same as the ESS if it is a combined unit for example Powerwall
The ESS Information
Must be completed for AC and DC coupled batteries
The Storage Capacity per Device (kW DC) or (kW AC) is required (often
missed)
The Relay Information
Provides space for inputting ESS operating hours otherwise can be included in
the ESS information as an upload under special guidance
9National Grid | July Interconnection Webinar | July 16 2020
Energy Storage System (ESS) Form
The ESS Form is required and must be filled out electronically on the
portal (cannot be upload only)
Most of the fields on the ESS form are pre-populated from the Storage
case or values already entered on the case
If any of the pre-populated values look incorrect or need to be
updated please update the storage asset or reach to out to CEI

Modifications
Impact and Detailed Study (if applicable) will determine System Modifications required and cost
(Risk of Islanding)
ISO-NE Generator Notification Process will be required for applications that are greater than 1MW
but less than 5MW (ie PP5-1 or GNF) and a Proposed Plan Application (PPA) along with supporting Transmission System Impact Study (TSIS) will be required for applications 5MW or greater in size single or potentially in aggregate Size of project based on nameplate rating of

These requirements will add time to the DG Interconnection Process if there is an ASO hold If so
the DSIS will be placed on hold until the ISO-NE approval or determination is known likely at a point during the DSIS process
Interconnection Service Agreement (ISA) provided after Study completed or an Early ISA could be requested if Detailed Study is required

Impact Study will determine the level of impact on the Companyrsquos EPS and the required System
Modifications
Impact and Detailed Study (if applicable) will determine System Modifications required and cost
(Risk of Islanding)
ISO-NE Generator Notification Process will be required for applications that are greater than 1MW
but less than 5MW (ie PP5-1 or GNF) and a Proposed Plan Application (PPA) along with supporting Transmission System Impact Study (TSIS) will be required for applications 5MW or greater in size single or potentially in aggregate Size of project based on nameplate rating of
system
These requirements will add time to the DG Interconnection Process if there is an ASO hold If so
the DSIS will be placed on hold until the ISO-NE approval or determination is known likely at a point during the DSIS process
Interconnection Service Agreement (ISA) provided after Study completed or an Early ISA could be requested if Detailed Study is required
If substation modifications required Company has 60 BD for Study (MDPU 1320 ndash pg 50) or by mutual agreement if estimated construction cost greater than $1 million
