Interconnection System Impact Study
				Agreement
This agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this _______
				day of ________ by and between ____________________("interconnection customer"), as
				an individual person, or as a __________________________organized and existing under
				the laws of the State of _______________, and_______________ ("Electric Distribution
				Company" (EDC)), a ____________________ existing under the laws of the State of
				Illinois. Interconnection customer and EDC each may be referred to as a "Party", or
				collectively as the "Parties".
Recitals:
Whereas
, interconnection customer is proposing to
				develop a distributed generation facility or modifying an existing distributed
				generation facility consistent with the interconnection request
application form completed by interconnection customer on
				____________(Date)________ ; and
Whereas
, interconnection customer desires to
				interconnect the distributed generation facility to EDC's electric distribution
				system; and
Whereas
, EDC has completed an interconnection
				feasibility study and provided the results of said study to interconnection customer
				(this recital to be omitted if the Parties have agreed to forego the interconnection
				feasibility study); and
Whereas
, interconnection customer has requested EDC to
				perform an interconnection system impact study to assess the impact of
				interconnecting the distributed generation facility to EDC's electric distribution
				system;
Now, therefore
, in consideration of and subject to the
				mutual covenants contained herein the Parties agree as follows:
1. All terms defined in Section
				466.30 of the Illinois
				Distributed Generation Interconnection Standard shall have the meanings indicated in
				that Section when used in this Agreement.
2. Interconnection customer elects and EDC shall cause to be
				performed an interconnection system impact study consistent with Section
				466.120 of the Illinois
				Distributed Generation Interconnection Standard.
3. The scope of the interconnection system impact study shall be
				based upon the information set forth in the interconnection request application form
				and in Attachment A to this Agreement.
4. The interconnection system impact study shall be based upon the
				interconnection feasibility study and the technical information provided by
				interconnection customer in the interconnection request application form. EDC
				reserves the right to request additional technical information from interconnection
				customer. If interconnection customer modifies its proposed point of
				interconnection, interconnection request, or the technical information provided
				therein is modified, the time to complete the interconnection system impact study
				may be extended.
5. The interconnection system impact study report shall provide the
				following information:
5.1 Identification of any equipment short circuit
				capability limits exceeded as a result of the interconnection,
5.2 Identification of any thermal overload or voltage
				limit violations resulting from the interconnection,
5.3 Identification of any instability or inadequately
				damped response to system disturbances resulting from the interconnection,
				and
5.4 Description and non-binding estimated cost of
				facilities required to interconnect the distributed generation facility to EDC's
				electric distribution system and to address the identified short circuit, thermal
				overload, voltage and instability issues as required under Section
				466.120(e)(2).
6. Interconnection customer shall provide a study deposit equal to
				100% of the estimated non-binding study costs at least 20 business days prior to the
				date upon which the study commences.
7. The interconnection system impact study, if required, shall be
				completed and the results transmitted to interconnection customer within 25 business
				days after this Agreement is signed by the Parties.
8. Study fees shall be based on actual costs and shall be invoiced
				to interconnection customer after the study is transmitted to interconnection
				customer. The invoice shall include an itemized listing of employee time and costs
				expended on the study.
9. Interconnection customer shall pay any study costs that exceed
				the deposit within 30 calendar days after receipt of the invoice. EDC shall refund
				any excess deposit amount within 30 calendar days of the invoice.
In witness thereof, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be
				duly executed by their duly authorized officers or agents on the day and year first
				above written.
