Common use of Delivered Capacity Clause in Contracts

Delivered Capacity. i. For purposes of this Agreement, an event’s “Delivered Capacity” shall be defined as the average of the Delivered Capacity for each hour in a Demand Response Event. Delivered Capacity for each event hour is the difference between the measured energy demand and the baseline energy demand, factoring in the performance thresholds described in section 7(b)(ii) below. Consumers Energy will use approved MISO methods of determining baseline energy usage. MISO’s default measurement and verification method (“M&V Method”) is to use the 10-days prior to the event to establish the baseline. Consumers Energy, at its discretion, can make an adjustment to the baseline determined by the M&V Method of plus or minus 20% based on the energy usage three hours prior to the beginning of the Emergency Event. ii. Delivered Capacity is capped at 120% of Accepted Capacity for each Demand Response Event hour. If Delivered Capacity is less than 70% of Accepted Capacity in a single Demand Response Event hour, then the Delivered Capacity for that Demand Response Event hour will equal zero (0) kW. Consumers or Contractor may, at their sole discretion, remove minimum and maximum caps on a case-by-case basis. If there is more than one (1) Emergency Event during the Program Period, then Delivered Capacity for that Program Period will equal the average of the Delivered Capacity from each Emergency Event hour in the Program Period. If there are no Emergency Event during the Program Period, then Delivered Capacity for that Program Period will equal the performance during the Audit. If an Audit is not called during the Program Period, then Delivered Capacity for that Program Period will equal Customers Accepted Capacity. iii. For Economic Events, Delivered Capacity is not capped. For each Economic Event called during a Program Period, the Delivered Capacity for that event will equal the average of the Delivered Capacity from each Economic Event hour. If Delivered Capacity is less than 100 kW in a single Demand Response Event hour, then the Delivered Capacity for that Demand Response Event hour will equal zero (0) kW. Consumers or Contractor may, at their sole discretion, remove the minimum 100 kW threshold on a case-by-case basis.
