Utility Protection Settings Approval Letter Pending Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the utility protection settings approval letter, utility relay-setting approval, or protection-letter signoff is still pending. This is different from an internal protective relay settings page because the blocker here is the external utility approval of the submitted protection settings package. The commercial problem is that the protection settings may already be finalized internally, but the payer is still withholding payment until the utility approval letter is issued. Your email should ask whether the utility settings approval is the only remaining blocker, whether the settings pack has already been submitted, what relay, feeder, or utility comment is still unresolved, and whether payment will be released once that letter is received. The outcome you want is to reduce the delay to one exact external approval document instead of broad comments about unfinished interconnection paperwork.
