Common use of Generating Unit Availability Clause in Contracts

Generating Unit Availability. When requested by the CAISO during a System Emergency, NCPA shall operate all of the Generating Units listed in Schedule 14 to supply the CAISO with generating capacity and/or Energy that can be made available by those Generating Units in order to make available as much generating capacity and/or Energy as possible to the CAISO during the term of any System Emergency, consistent with: (a) maintaining the adequate Supply of Energy to meet measured Demand of the MSS Members, other than in accordance with Section 7.4 of this Agreement; and (b) due consideration for the provisions of Section 3.1 and particular obligations of NCPA identified in the EAP attached to Schedule 11 or in the limitations specified in Schedule 14, provided that NCPA shall provide the CAISO with advance notice of any changes to the NCPA EAP or limitations in Schedule 14 that NCPA’s obligations impose on the operation of the Generating Units of NCPA’s System, and any changes agreed to by the CAISO shall be amendments to this Agreement. For that purpose, NCPA shall provide the CAISO any update to the NCPA EAP and any change in Schedule 14 with regard to any limitations on the operation of the Generating Units of NCPA’s System. NCPA shall provide the CAISO updates regarding the status of the limitations in Schedule 14 promptly whenever it becomes aware of factors that affect such limitations, provided that updates shall be provided at least quarterly and no updates may be provided later than the deadline for the submission by other Generators of changes in limitations on the operation of Generating Units, which is the deadline for the submission of Bids into the Real-Time Market, except when a change is due to a Forced Outage. In making as much generating capacity and/or Energy available that can be made available by its Generating Units to the CAISO as possible for use in System Emergency conditions, subject to the foregoing, NCPA shall: 7.1.1.1 Schedule or reschedule in the form of a Bid, and operate to the maximum extent possible, the Generating Units and other sources of power of NCPA’s System within and outside the CAISO's Balancing Authority Area to maximize the amount of generating capacity and/or Energy available that can be made available by those Generating Units and other resources to the CAISO; and 7.1.1.2 Reschedule Maintenance Outages of equipment and facilities, including Generating Units and any facilities which may impact the operation of Generating Units, to maximize the amount of generating capacity and/or Energy available that can be made available by those Generating Units to the CAISO unless rescheduling of such Maintenance Outages is likely to cause damage to the equipment and facilities.
