Transmission System Interconnection Information

Entities (such as wind farms and other independent power generators) interested in interconnecting to CWLP's transmission system can find information needed to assist them in this process on the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO) website. This information includes CWLP's Planning Criteria and CWLP's Interconnection Procedures.
 

The CWLP Planning Criteria
The CWLP Planning Criteria, which has been developed to accurately assess the utility's transmission system, provides a guide for CWLP engineers, as well as entities that are requesting interconnection with the CWLP system. The criteria in this document are unconditional and provide the standards on which CWLP's transmission system is planned.

The CWLP Interconnection Procedures
The CWLP Interconnection Procedures have been developed by the CWLP Planning Department to assist entities wishing to interconnect their new or modified transmission facilities or generators with the City of Springfield (CWLP) transmission system. Transmission facilities are considered to be those that are 138 kV or higher or that provide 69 kV networked interconnection.

NOTE: Facilities of a lower voltage than those noted above are considered distribution, rather than transmission, facilities. Entities with distribution facilities that are interested in interconnecting with CWLP should contact the Superintendent of Electric Transmission and Distribution—(217) 757-8520, ext. 2111— for more information.
