Surplus, Repower, and Replacement

An Interconnection Customer with a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement with a higher Interconnection Service than what has been built has access to Surplus Interconnection Service. In order to utilize the Surplus Interconnection Service, the Interconnection Customer must submit a Surplus Interconnection Service Request.

To initiate a Surplus Interconnection Service Request, the Interconnection Customer must submit the following to Interconnection@bpa.gov:

• A Large Generator Interconnection Request (Appendix 1)
• A non-refundable $10,000 application fee (Payment and Remittance Instructions)
• Evidence of Site Control (Site Control Business Practice)
• Modeling Data
• Letter of Intent

Within 10 Business Days of receiving a valid Surplus Interconnection Service Request BPA will schedule a Surplus Scoping Meeting to be held no later than 30 Business Days after receipt of the valid request.

Repower and Replacement

Generating Facility Repower Requests must be submitted to replace aged components of generating units, at an existing Generating Facility.
