FERC Electric Tariff INTRODUCTION

MODULES 30.0.0


The Transmission Provider shall provide Point-To-Point and Network Integration

Transmission Service pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of this Tariff. Point-To-

Point Transmission Service is for the receipt of Capacity and Energy at designated Point(s) of

Receipt and the transmission of such Capacity and Energy to designated Point(s) of Delivery.

Network Integration Transmission Service allows the Network Customer to integrate,

economically dispatch and regulate its current and planned Network Resources to serve its

Network Load in a manner comparable to that in which Transmission Owners utilize the

Transmission System to serve their Native Load or other Network Customers.

Any Eligible Customer requesting Transmission Service under this Module B (other than

an Eligible Customer requesting HVDC Service) may be eligible to request and receive FTRs

associated with such request pursuant to the provisions of Module C of this Tariff. Any Eligible

Customer seeking to request or receive FTRs must be a Market Participant.

Preamble

The Transmission Provider will provide Firm and Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission

Service pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of this Tariff. An ITC may provide Firm

and Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service pursuant to the ITC Rate Schedule under

this Tariff where both the Point of Receipt and the Point of Delivery are on the ITC System,

provided that the Transmission Customer has executed an appropriate Service Agreement with

the Transmission Provider. Point-To-Point Transmission Service is for the receipt of Energy at

designated Point(s) of Receipt and the transmission of such Energy to designated Point(s) of

Delivery. Point-to-Point Transmission Service customers are not required to obtain

Transmission Service for the receipt of Energy and transmission of such Energy associated with

Electric Storage Resources when withdrawing Energy while providing Regulating Service or

Down Ramp Capability. Point-To-Point Transmission Service customers with Point(s) of

Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery located within the Transmission System (Michigan) may obtain

Point-To-Point Transmission Service under Schedule 7 – Michigan and Schedule 8 - Michigan

of this Tariff.

MISO 13.1

FERC Electric Tariff Term

MODULES 30.0.0


The minimum term of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be

one (1) day and the maximum term shall be specified in the Service Agreement.

MISO 13.2

FERC Electric Tariff Reservation Priority

MODULES 30.0.0


(i)Long-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be

available on a first-come, first-served basis, i.e., in the chronological sequence in

which each Transmission Customer has reserved service.

(ii)Reservations for Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service

will be conditional based upon the length of the requested transaction or

reservation. However, Pre-Confirmed Applications for Short-Term Point-To-

Point Transmission Service will receive priority over earlier-submitted requests

that are not Pre-Confirmed and that have equal or shorter duration. Among

requests or reservations with the same duration and, as relevant, pre-confirmation

status (pre-confirmed, confirmed, or not confirmed), priority will be given to an

Eligible Customer’s request or reservation based on the earliest date and time of

the request or reservation.

(iii)If the Transmission System becomes oversubscribed, requests for

service may preempt competing requests or reservations that involve the same

flowgate or up to the following conditional reservation deadlines: one day before

the commencement of daily service; one week before the commencement of

weekly service; and one month before the commencement of monthly service.

Before the conditional reservation deadline, if Available Transfer Capability is

insufficient to satisfy all requests and reservations, an Eligible Customer with a

reservation for shorter-term service or equal duration service has the right of first

refusal to match any longer-term request or equal duration service before losing

its reservation priority. A longer-term competing request for Short-Term Firm

MISO 13.2


MODULES 30.0.0


Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be granted if the Eligible Customer with

the right of first refusal does not agree to match the competing request within

twenty-four (24) hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the scheduling

deadlines provided in Section 13.8) from being notified by the Transmission

Provider of a longer-term competing request for Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point

Transmission Service. When a longer duration request preempts multiple shorter

duration reservations, the shorter duration reservations shall have simultaneous

opportunities to exercise the right of first refusal. Time of match confirmation

will be used to determine the order by which the multiple shorter duration

reservations will be able to exercise the right of first refusal. In the event the

match confirmations are submitted simultaneously, the original OASIS queue time

will be utilized to determine the order by which the multiple shorter duration

reservations will be able to exercise the right of first refusal. After the conditional

reservation deadline, service will commence pursuant to the terms of this Tariff.

(iv)Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will always have a reservation

priority over Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service under the Tariff. All

Long-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will have equal reservation

priority with Native Load Customers and Network Customers. Reservation

priorities for existing firm service customers are provided in Section 2.2.

required under the Tariff shall be filed with the Commission in compliance with

applicable Commission regulations. An Eligible Customer that uses Transmission

Service at a Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery that it has not reserved and that

has not executed a Service Agreement will be deemed, for purposes of assessing

any appropriate charges and penalties, to have executed the appropriate Service

Agreement.

FERC Electric Tariff Obligations for Facility Additions or Redispatch Costs

MODULES 31.0.0

Effective On: August 2, 2017

In cases where the Transmission Provider or ITC determines that the

Transmission System is not capable of providing Firm Point-To-Point

Transmission Service without: (1) degrading or impairing the reliability of service

to Native Load Customers, Network Customers and other Transmission

Customers taking Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service; or (2) interfering

with the Transmission Provider’s or ITC’s ability to meet prior firm contractual

commitments to others, the relevant Transmission Owner(s) or ITC will be

obligated to expand or upgrade its (their) Transmission System(s) pursuant to the

terms of Section 15.4. The Transmission Customer must agree to pay the

Transmission Provider or ITC for any necessary transmission facility additions

pursuant to the terms of Section 27.

MISO 13.6

FERC Electric Tariff Curtailment of Firm Transmission Service

MODULES 31.0.0

Effective On: January 2, 2019

In the event that a Curtailment on the Transmission System, or a portion

thereof, is required to maintain reliable operation of such system, and the systems

directly and indirectly interconnected with the Transmission System, Curtailments

will be made on a non-discriminatory basis to the transaction(s) that effectively

relieve the constraint. The Transmission Provider may elect to implement such

Curtailments pursuant to the Transmission Loading Relief Procedures specified in

NERC Reliability Standards and NAESB WEQ Business Practice Standards. If

multiple transactions require Curtailment, to the extent practicable and consistent

with Good Utility Practice, the Transmission Provider will curtail service to

Network Customers and Transmission Customers taking Firm Point-To-Point

Transmission Service on a non-discriminatory basis. If any Transmission Owners

have Native Load Customers, then the Transmission Provider will curtail service

on a comparable basis to Native Load Customers.

All Curtailments will be made on a non-discriminatory basis; however, Non-Firm

Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be subordinate to Firm Transmission

Service. When the Transmission Provider determines that an electrical

Emergency exists on its Transmission System and implements Emergency

procedures to curtail Firm Transmission Service, the Transmission Customer shall

make the required reductions upon request of the Transmission Provider.

However, the Transmission Provider reserves the right to curtail, in whole or in

part, any Firm Transmission Service provided under the Tariff when, in the

Transmission Provider’s sole discretion, an Emergency or other unforeseen

MISO 13.6

FERC Electric Tariff Curtailment of Firm Transmission Service

MODULES 31.0.0


condition impairs or degrades the reliability of its Transmission System. The

Transmission Provider will notify all affected Transmission Customers in a timely

manner of any scheduled Curtailments. In the event that the Transmission

Customer fails to cease or reduce service in response to a directive by the

Transmission Provider, the Transmission Customer shall pay the following

penalties in addition to any other applicable changes: $10 per kW if the customer

fails to curtail service within ten (10) minutes of a directive by the Transmission

Provider; or $20 per kW if the customer fails to curtail service within twenty (20)

minutes of a directive by the Transmission Provider.

These charges shall apply only to the portion of the service that the

Transmission Customer fails to curtail in response to a Transmission Provider or

ITC directive. The Transmission Provider or ITC, where applicable, shall

compensate any affected Local Balancing Authority Areas or Generation

Resources for their actual costs up to the amount recovered by the Transmission

Provider or ITC, as applicable. Any revenues in excess of actual costs shall be

used to reduce the Transmission Provider’s costs (for other than the penalized

Transmission Customer) in Schedule 10 or, in the case of ITC Service, any

revenues in excess of actual costs shall be applied as specified in the ITC Rate

Schedule.

MISO 13.7

FERC Electric Tariff Classification of Firm Transmission Service

MODULES 31.0.0

Effective On: May 1, 2015

a. The Transmission Customer taking Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service

may (1) change its Receipt and Delivery Points to obtain service on a non-firm

basis consistent with the terms of Section 22.1 or (2) request a modification of the

Points of Receipt or Delivery on a firm basis pursuant to the terms of

Section 22.3.

b. The Transmission Customer may purchase Transmission Service to make sales of

Capacity and Energy from multiple Generation Resources that are interconnected

to the Transmission System. For such a purchase of Transmission Service, the

Generation Resource will be designated as multiple Points of Receipt, except that

multiple Generation Resources interconnected to the Transmission System and

Interface points designated as Points of Receipt shall be treated as a single Point

of Receipt.

c. The Transmission Provider or ITC, as applicable, shall provide firm deliveries of

Capacity and Energy from the Point(s) of Receipt to the Point(s) of Delivery.

Each Point of Receipt at which firm transmission capacity is reserved by the

Transmission Customer shall be set forth in the Firm Point-To-Point Service

Agreement for Long-Term Firm Transmission Service along with a corresponding

capacity reservation associated with each Point of Receipt. Points of Receipt and

corresponding capacity reservations shall be as mutually agreed upon by the

Parties for Short-Term Firm Transmission. Each Point of Delivery at which firm

transfer capability is reserved by the Transmission Customer shall be set forth in

the Firm Point-To-Point Service Agreement for Long-Term Firm Transmission

MISO 13.7


MODULES 31.0.0


Service along with a corresponding capacity reservation associated with each

Point of Delivery.

d. Points of Delivery and corresponding capacity reservations shall be as mutually

agreed upon by the Parties for Short-Term Firm Transmission. The greater of

either (1) the sum of the capacity reservations at the Point(s) of Receipt, or (2) the

sum of the capacity reservations at the Point(s) of Delivery shall be the

Transmission Customer’s Reserved Capacity. The Transmission Customer will

be billed for its Reserved Capacity under the terms of the applicable Schedule 7.

The Transmission Customer may not exceed its firm capacity reserved at each

Point of Receipt and each Point of Delivery except as otherwise specified in

Section 22. In the event that MISO identifies that a Transmission Customer’s

delivered energy exceeds its firm reserved capacity at any Point of Receipt or

Point of Delivery, the Transmission Customer shall pay unreserved use penalties

as follows: (1) the unreserved use penalties shall be based on the period of

unreserved use; (2) the unreserved use penalty for a single hour of unreserved use

shall be the applicable rate for daily firm Point-to-Point Transmission Service, as

set forth in Schedule 7 of the Tariff; and (3) more than one assessment for a given

duration (e.g., daily) shall result in an increase of the penalty period to the next

longest duration (e.g., weekly).

e. Unreserved use penalties assessed using daily firm Point-to-Point Transmission

Service rates shall account for off-peak and on-peak usage, as set forth in

MISO 13.7


MODULES 31.0.0


Schedule 7 of the Tariff. A 200% multiplier shall be applied to all assessed

penalties.

i. Unreserved use penalties will be calculated on a monthly basis, and

allocated to all Tariff Customers and/or Transmission Owners that were

not assessed any unreserved use penalties during the applicable month.

Unreserved use penalties will be allocated to all such non-penalized Tariff

Customers and/or Transmission Owners on a pro rata basis using their

total Network Load for the month and their total Reserved Capacity for

Point-to-Point Transmission Service for the month. Specifically, the

Transmission Provider will allocate unreserved use revenues as follows:

Each Customer’s “Unreserved Use Determinant” is determined by adding

the total Network Load for the month for each Tariff Customer or

Transmission Owner not charged with unreserved use during that month to

that Tariff Customer’s or Transmission Owner’s total Reserved Capacity

for Point-to-Point Transmission Service for the month.

The “Aggregate Unreserved Use Determinant” is determined by adding

the total Network Load for the month of all Tariff Customers and

Transmission Owners not charged with unreserved use during that month

and the total Reserved Capacity for Point-to-Point Transmission Service

MISO 13.7


MODULES 31.0.0


for the month for all Tariff Customers and Transmission Owners not

charged with unreserved use during the month.

MISO will divide each Customer’s Unreserved Use Determinant by the

Aggregate Unreserved Use Determinant, and will multiply that quotient by

the aggregate unreserved use revenues for the month in order to determine

the share of such unreserved use revenues to be allocated to each such

Tariff Customer or Transmission Owner not charged with unreserved use

for the month.

f. For interchange transactions, evaluation of Interchange Schedules (including

Third-Party Sales by a Transmission Owner) against firm reserved capacity will

be utilized to identify instances of unreserved use. For transactions internal to the

MISO footprint, MISO shall implement monitoring as described in detail in

Business Practice Manual 013, Module B, Transmission Service, to identify

instances of unreserved use.

MISO 13.8

FERC Electric Tariff Scheduling of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service

MODULES 30.0.0


Interchange Schedules for the Transmission Customer’s Firm Point-To-Point Transmission

Service must be submitted in accordance with the terms in Attachment J. Interchange Schedules

submitted after the applicable time specified in Attachment J will be accommodated, if

practicable. Transmission Customers shall submit all hour-to-hour and intra-hour (four intervals

consisting of fifteen minutes) Interchange Schedules electronically in a form specified by the

Transmission Provider. Hour-to-hour Interchange Schedules of any capacity and energy that is

to be delivered must be stated in increments of 1,000 kW per hour. Transmission Customers

within a Transmission Owner’s service area (or Local Balancing Authority Area) with multiple

requests for Transmission Service at a Point of Receipt, each of which is under 1,000 kW per

hour, may consolidate their service requests at a common Point of Receipt into units of 1,000 kW

per hour for scheduling and billing purposes. Scheduling changes will be permitted in

accordance with Attachment J. However, in the event of a system contingency such as a

generation or an unplanned Transmission Outage, or Curtailment or Interruption of Transmission

Service, scheduling changes will be implemented as soon as practicable.

The Transmission Provider, or if ITC Service is taken, the ITC, will furnish to the

Delivering Party’s system operator, hour-to-hour Interchange Schedules and intra-hour

Interchange Schedules equal to those furnished by the Receiving Party (unless reduced for

losses) and shall deliver the Capacity and Energy provided by such schedules. Should the

Transmission Customer, Delivering Party or Receiving Party revise or terminate any Interchange

Schedule, such party shall immediately notify the Transmission Provider or, if appropriate, the

ITC, and the Transmission Provider shall have the right to adjust accordingly the schedule for

Capacity and Energy to be received and to be delivered.

Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be entitled to reserve a

sequential term of service (such as a sequential monthly term without having to

wait for the initial term to expire before requesting another monthly term) so that

the total time period for which the reservation applies is greater than one month,

subject to the requirements of Attachment J.

MISO 14.2


MODULES 30.0.0


Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be available from

transfer capability in excess of that needed for reliable service to Native Load

Customers, Network Customers and other Transmission Customers taking Long-

Term and Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service. A higher

priority will be assigned first to requests or reservations with a longer duration of

service and second to Pre-Confirmed Applications. Eligible Customers that have

already reserved shorter-term service have the right of first refusal to match any

longer-term request before being preempted. A longer-term competing request

for Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be granted if the Eligible

Customer with the right of first refusal does not agree to match the competing

request: (i) immediately for hourly Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission

Service after notification by the Transmission Provider; and, (ii) within

twenty-four (24) hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the scheduling

deadlines provided in Attachment J) for Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission

Service other than hourly transactions after notification by the Transmission

Provider. When a longer duration request preempts multiple shorter duration

reservations, the shorter duration reservations shall have simultaneous

opportunities to exercise the right of first refusal. Time of match confirmation

will be used to determine the order by which the multiple shorter duration

reservations will be able to exercise the right of first refusal. In the event the

match confirmations are submitted simultaneously, the original OASIS queue

time will be utilized to determine the order by which the multiple shorter duration

MODULES 31.0.0


Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be offered under terms and

conditions contained in Module B of this Tariff and any applicable ITC Rate Schedule for ITC

Service offered within an ITC System. The Transmission Provider, Transmission Owners, ITC,

and ITC Participants undertake no obligation under this Tariff to plan the Transmission System

in order to have sufficient capacity for Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service. Parties

requesting Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service for the transmission of firm power do

so with the full realization that such service is subject to availability and to Curtailment or

Interruption under the terms of this Tariff. In the event that MISO identifies that a Transmission

Customer’s delivered energy exceeds its non-firm reserved capacity at any Point of Receipt or

Point of Delivery , the Transmission Customer shall pay unreserved use penalties as follows: (1)

the unreserved use penalties shall be based on the period of unreserved use; (2) the unreserved

use penalty for a single hour of unreserved use shall be the applicable rate for daily firm Point-

to-Point Transmission Service, as set forth in Schedule 7 of the Tariff; and (3) more than one

assessment for a given duration (e.g., daily) shall result in an increase of the penalty period to the

next longest duration (e.g., weekly). Unreserved use penalties assessed using daily firm Point-

to-Point Transmission Service rates shall account for off-peak and on-peak usage, as set forth in

Schedule 7 of the Tariff. A 200% multiplier shall be applied to all assessed penalties.

These penalty revenues shall be allocated in the manner set forth in Section 13.7 of the

Tariff except, when ITC Service is taken, the penalty revenues shall be used as set forth in the

applicable ITC Rate Schedule. Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall include

transmission of Energy on an hourly basis and transmission of scheduled short-term capacity and

MISO 14.5

FERC Electric Tariff Curtailment or Interruption of Service

MODULES 31.0.0


The Transmission Provider reserves the right to curtail, in whole or in part, Non-Firm

Point-To-Point Transmission Service provided under this Tariff for reliability reasons when, an

Emergency or other unforeseen condition threatens to impair or degrade the reliability of the

Transmission System or the systems directly and indirectly interconnected with the Transmission

System. The Transmission Provider may elect to implement such Curtailments pursuant to the

Transmission Loading Relief Procedures specified in NERC Reliability Standards and NAESB

WEQ Business Practice Standards. The Transmission Provider reserves the right to interrupt, in

whole or in part, Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service provided under this Tariff for

economic reasons in order to accommodate (i) a request for Firm Transmission Service; (ii) a

request for Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service of greater duration; (iii) a request for

Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service of equal duration with a higher price; or (iv)

Transmission Service for Network Customers from non-designated Resources. Point-To-Point

Transmission Service for Next-Hour-Transmission Service will always have the lowest priority.

The Transmission Provider also will discontinue or reduce service to the Transmission Customer

to the extent that deliveries for transmission are discontinued or reduced at the Point(s) of

Receipt. Where required, Curtailments or Interruptions will be made on a non-discriminatory

basis to the transaction(s) that effectively relieve the constraint; however, Non-Firm

Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be subordinate to Firm Transmission Service. If

multiple transactions require Curtailment or Interruption, to the extent practicable and consistent

with Good Utility Practice, Curtailments or Interruptions will be made first to

Next-Hour-Transmission Service and then to remaining transactions beginning with those

transactions of the shortest term (e.g., hourly non-firm transactions will be curtailed or

MISO 14.7


MODULES 31.0.0


interrupted before daily non-firm transactions and daily non-firm transactions will be curtailed or

interrupted before weekly non-firm transactions). Transmission Service for Network Customers

from Resources other than designated Network Resources will have a higher priority than any

Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service under this Tariff. Non-Firm Point-To-Point

Transmission Service over secondary Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery will have a

higher priority than Next-Hour Transmission Service, but will have a lower priority than any

other Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service under the Tariff. The Transmission

Provider will provide advance notice of Curtailment or Interruption where such notice can be

provided consistent with Good Utility Practice. In the event that the Transmission Customer

fails to cease or reduce service in response to a directive by the Transmission Provider, the

Transmission Customer shall pay the following penalties in addition to any other applicable

charges:

a. $10 per kW if the Customer fails to curtail service within ten (10) minutes of a directive

by the Transmission Provider;

b. $20 per kW if the Customer fails to curtail service within twenty (20) minutes of a

directive by the Transmission Provider; or

c. $20 per kW if the customer fails to interrupt service at the beginning of the Hour for

which the Interruption is requested; provided that the customer is given a minimum of

forty (40) minutes notice before the beginning of such Hour; and provided further that the

customer may retain its service and avoid the penalty by agreeing pursuant to

Section 14.2 of this Tariff to match any longer-term reservation and/or higher price in a

competing request before being Interrupted.

MODULES 30.0.0


Reservation Priority for Firm High-Voltage Direct Current Service:

(i) Long-Term Firm HVDC Service shall be determined on a first-come, first-served basis,

i.e., in the chronological sequence in which each Transmission customer has reserved

service.

(ii) Reservations for Short-Term Firm HVDC Service will be conditional based upon the

length of the requested transaction or reservation. However, Pre-Confirmed Requests for

Short-Term Firm HVDC Service will receive priority over earlier-submitted requests that

are not Pre-Confirmed and that have equal or shorter duration. Among requests with the

same duration and, as relevant, pre-confirmation status (pre-confirmed, confirmed, or not

pre-confirmed), priority will be given to an Eligible Customer’s request or reservation

based on the earliest date and time of the request or reservation.

(iii) If the HVDC Facilities become oversubscribed, requests for service may preempt

competing requests or reservations up to the following conditional reservation deadlines:

one day before the commencement of daily service, one week before the commencement

of weekly service, and one month before the commencement of monthly service. Before

the conditional reservation deadline, if Available Transfer Capability is insufficient to

satisfy all requests and reservations, an Eligible Customer with a reservation for shorter

term service or equal duration service has the right of first refusal to match any longer

term request or equal duration service before losing its reservation priority. A longer

term competing request for Short-Term Firm HVDC Service will be granted if the

Eligible Customer with the right of first refusal does not agree to match the competing

request within 24 hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the scheduling deadlines

longer-term competing request for Short-Term Firm HVDC Service. When a longer

duration request preempts multiple shorter duration reservations, the shorter duration

reservations shall have simultaneous opportunities to exercise the right of first refusal.

Time of match confirmation will be used to determine the order by which the multiple

shorter duration reservations will be able to exercise the right of first refusal. In the event

the match confirmations are submitted simultaneously, the original OASIS queue time will be

utilized to determine the order by which the multiple shorter duration reservations will be

able to exercise the right of first refusal. After the conditional reservation deadline, service

will commence pursuant to the terms of this Section 27A.

interconnected with the HVDC Facilities, Curtailments will be made on a non-discriminatory

basis to the transaction(s) that effectively relieve the constraint. The Transmission Provider may

elect to implement such Curtailments pursuant to the Transmission Loading Relief Procedures

specified in NERC Reliability Standards and NAESB WEQ Business Practice Standards. If

multiple transactions require Curtailment, to the extent practicable and consistent with Good

Utility Practice, the Transmission Provider will curtail service on a non-discriminatory basis.

All Curtailments will be made on a non-discriminatory basis; however, Non-Firm HVDC

Service shall be subordinate to Firm HVDC Service. Long-Term Firm HVDC Service subject to

conditions described in Section 27A.3.4 shall be curtailed with secondary service in cases where

the conditions apply, but otherwise will be curtailed on a pro rata basis with other Firm HVDC

Service.

When the Transmission Provider determines that an electrical Emergency exists on its

Transmission System or the HVDC Facilities and implements Emergency procedures to curtail

Firm HVDC Service, the Transmission Customer shall make the required reductions upon

request of the Transmission Provider. However, the Transmission Provider reserves the right to

curtail, in whole or in part, any Firm HVDC Service provided under the Tariff when, in the

Transmission Provider’s sole discretion, an Emergency or other unforeseen condition impairs or

MODULES 31.0.0


Classification of Non-Firm High-Voltage Direct Current Service:

Non-Firm HVDC Service shall be offered under terms and conditions contained in

Section 27A and other applicable provisions of this Tariff. The Transmission Provider and

Transmission Owners undertake no obligation under this Tariff to plan the HVDC Facilities in

order to have sufficient capacity for Non-Firm HVDC Service. Parties requesting Non-Firm

HVDC Service for the transmission of firm power do so with the full realization that such service

is subject to availability and to Curtailment or Interruption under the terms of this Tariff. In the

event that MISO identifies that a Transmission Customer’s delivered energy exceeds its non-firm

reserved capacity at any Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery, the Transmission Customer shall

pay unreserved use penalties as follows: (1) the unreserved use penalties shall be based on the

period of unreserved use; (2) the unreserved use penalty for a single hour of unreserved use shall

be the applicable rate for daily Firm HVDC Service, as set forth in Schedule 7 of the Tariff; and

(3) more than one assessment for a given duration (e.g., daily) shall result in an increase of the

penalty period to the next longest duration (e.g., weekly).

Unreserved use penalties assessed using daily Firm HVDC Service rates shall account for

off-peak and on-peak usage, as set forth in Schedule 7 of the Tariff. A 200% multiplier shall be

applied to all assessed penalties. These penalty revenues shall be allocated in the manner set

forth in Section 13.7 of the Tariff. Non-Firm HVDC Service shall include transmission of

Energy on an hourly basis and transmission of scheduled short-term capacity and Energy on a

daily, weekly or monthly basis, but not to exceed one month’s reservation for any one

Application, under Schedule 8.

Attachment J.

Interchange Schedules submitted after the time specified in

Attachment J will be accommodated, if practicable. Transmission

Customers shall submit all Interchange Schedules electronically in a form

specified by the Transmission Provider. Hour-to-hour Interchange

Schedules of Energy that is to be delivered must be stated in increments of

1,000 kW per hour and shall be subject to the minimum scheduling

requirements of the relevant HVDC Facilities. Transmission Customers

within the Transmission Owner’s service (or control) area with multiple

requests for HVDC Service at a Point of Receipt, each of which is under

1,000 kW per hour [MWh], may consolidate their schedules at a common

Point of Receipt into units of 1,000 kW per hour [MWh]. Scheduling

changes will be permitted in accordance with Attachment J.

The Transmission Provider will furnish to the Delivering Party’s

system operator, hour-to-hour Interchange Schedules equal to those

furnished by the Receiving Party (unless reduced for losses) and shall

deliver the Energy provided by the Delivering Party. Should the

Transmission Customer, Delivering Party or Receiving Party revise or

terminate any Interchange Schedule, such party shall immediately notify

the Transmission Provider, and the Transmission Provider shall have the

FERC Electric Tariff Curtailment or Interruption of Non-Firm High-Voltage Direct

MODULES 31.0.0


Curtailment or Interruption of Non-Firm High-Voltage Direct

Current Service:

The Transmission Provider reserves the right to curtail, in whole or

in part, Non-Firm HVDC Service provided under this Tariff for reliability

reasons when, an Emergency or other unforeseen condition threatens to

impair or degrade the reliability of the HVDC Facilities or the systems

directly and indirectly interconnected with the HVDC Facilities. The

Transmission Provider may elect to implement such Curtailments pursuant

to the Transmission Loading Relief Procedures specified in NERC

Reliability Standards and NAESB WEQ Business Practice Standards. The

Transmission Provider reserves the right to interrupt, in whole or in part,

Non-Firm HVDC Service provided under this Tariff for economic reasons

in order to accommodate (i) a request for Firm HVDC Service; (ii) a

request for Non-Firm HVDC Service of greater duration; (iii) a request

for Non-Firm HVDC Service of equal duration with a higher price; or (iv)

transmission service for Firm HVDC Service during conditional

curtailment periods as described in Section 27A.3.4.

The Transmission Provider also will discontinue or reduce service to the

Transmission Customer to the extent that deliveries for transmission are

discontinued or reduced at the Point(s) of Receipt.

Where required, Curtailments or Interruptions will be made on a

nondiscriminatory basis to the transaction(s) that effectively relieve the

MISO 27A.2.6


MODULES 31.0.0


constraint; however, Non-Firm HVDC Service shall be subordinate to

Firm HVDC Service. If multiple transactions require Curtailment or

Interruption, to the extent practicable and consistent with Good Utility

Practice, Curtailments or Interruptions will be made to transactions

beginning with those transactions of the shortest term (e.g., hourly non-

firm transactions will be curtailed or interrupted before daily non-firm

transactions and daily non-firm transactions will be curtailed or

interrupted before weekly non-firm transactions).

The Transmission Provider will provide advance notice of Curtailment or

Interruption where such notice can be provided consistent with Good

Utility Practice. In the event that the Transmission Customer fails to cease

or reduce service in response to a directive by the Transmission Provider,

the Transmission Customer shall pay the following penalties in addition to

any other applicable charges:

i. $10 per kW if the Customer fails to curtail service

within ten (10) minutes of a directive by the

Transmission Provider;

ii. $20 per kW if the Customer fails to curtail service

within twenty (20) minutes of a directive by the

Transmission Provider; or

iii. $20 per kW if the customer fails to interrupt service

at the beginning of the Hour for which the

MISO 27A.2.6


MODULES 31.0.0


Interruption is requested; provided that the customer

is given a minimum of forty (40) minutes notice

before the beginning of such Hour; and provided

further that the customer may retain its service and

avoid the penalty by agreeing pursuant to Section

27A.2.2 of this Tariff to match any longer-term

reservation and/or higher price in a competing

request before being Interrupted.

These charges shall apply only to the portion of the service

that the Transmission Customer fails to curtail or

interrupt in response to a Curtailment or Interruption

directive. The Transmission Provider shall

compensate any affected Control Areas or generators

for their actual costs up to the amount recovered by

the Transmission Provider. Any revenues in excess

of actual costs shall be used to reduce the

Transmission Provider costs (for other than the

penalized Transmission Customer) in Schedule 35.

FERC Electric Tariff Designation of New Network Resources

MODULES 30.0.0


The Network Customer may designate a new Network Resource by

providing the Transmission Provider with as much advance notice as practicable

and under any procedures established by the Transmission Provider. A

designation of a new Network Resource must be made through the Transmission

Provider’s OASIS by a request for modification of service pursuant to an

Application under Section 29. This request must include a statement that the new

Network Resource satisfies the following conditions: (1) the Network Customer

owns the Resource, has committed to purchase generation pursuant to an executed

contract, or has committed to purchase generation where execution of a contract is

contingent upon the availability of Transmission Service under Part III of this Tariff;

and (2) the Network Resources do not include any Resources, or any portion thereof,

that are committed for sale to non-designated third party Load or otherwise cannot

be called upon to meet the Network Customer's Network Load on a non-interruptible

basis, except for purposes of fulfilling obligations under a reserve sharing program.

The Network Customer’s request will be deemed deficient if it does not include this

statement and the Transmission Provider will follow the procedures for a deficient

application as described in Section 29.2 of this Tariff.

MISO 30.3

FERC Electric Tariff Termination of Network Resources

The Network Customer may terminate the designation of all or part of a Generation

Resource as a Network Resource by providing notification to the Transmission

Provider through OASIS and, as appropriate, the ITC as soon as reasonably

practicable, but not later than the firm scheduling deadline for the period of

termination. Any request for termination of Network Resource status must be

submitted on OASIS, and should indicate whether the request is for indefinite or

temporary termination. A request for indefinite termination of Network Resource

status must indicate the date and time that the termination is to be effective, and the

identification and Capacity of the Resource(s) or portions thereof to be indefinitely

terminated. A request for temporary termination of Network Resource status must

include the following:

i. Effective date and time of temporary termination;

ii. Effective date and time of redesignation, following period of temporary

termination;

iii. Identification and Capacity of Resource(s) or portions thereof to be

temporarily terminated;

iv. Resource description and attestation for redesignating the Network

Resource following the temporary termination, in accordance with

Section 30.2; and

MODULES 30.0.0


related Transmission Service requests must be approved or denied as a

single request. The evaluation of these related Transmission Service

requests must take into account the termination of the Network

Resources identified in (iii) above, as well as all competing

Transmission Service requests of higher priority.

As part of a temporary termination, a Network Customer may only

redesignate the same Resource that was originally designated, or a portion

thereof. Requests to redesignate a different Resource and/or a Resource with

increased Capacity will be deemed deficient and the Transmission Provider will

follow the procedures for a deficient application as described in Section 29.2 of

the Tariff.
