Limitations on CAISO Operating Orders Clause Samples
The "Limitations on CAISO Operating Orders" clause defines the boundaries and restrictions on the instructions or directives that the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) can issue to market participants or facility operators. In practice, this clause may specify that CAISO's operating orders must comply with certain contractual, regulatory, or technical limitations, such as not requiring actions that would violate safety standards or exceed equipment capabilities. Its core function is to protect parties from being compelled to act outside of agreed-upon or safe operational parameters, thereby managing risk and ensuring operational clarity.
Limitations on CAISO Operating Orders. The CAISO will not knowingly issue an operating order that: (1) requires the Participating Generator to reduce its Generation below the delineated Minimum Operating Limit, other than in a System Emergency; (2) conflicts with operating instructions provided by the Participating Generator; or (3) results in damage to the Participating Generator’s equipment, provided that any such equipment limitation has been provided to the CAISO and incorporated in the Participating Generator’s operating instructions to the CAISO. If the Participating Generator: (1) receives a Schedule which requires operation below the Minimum Operating Limit, and (2) deviates from that Schedule to continue to operate at the Minimum Operating Limit, it will not be subject to any penalties or sanctions as a result of operating at the Minimum Operating Limit. The Participating Generator’s consequences for deviating from Schedules in Real-Time will be governed by the CAISO Tariff.
