Minimum Load Screen Clause Samples

The Minimum Load Screen clause establishes a baseline amount of energy or capacity that must be accepted or utilized by a facility or system, regardless of actual demand. In practice, this means that the operator is required to maintain at least a specified minimum level of energy input or output, even during periods of low usage. This clause is commonly used in power purchase agreements or grid operations to ensure system stability and guarantee a minimum revenue stream for energy producers. Its core function is to provide predictability and financial security by preventing the load from dropping below a critical threshold, thereby supporting operational reliability and investment planning.
Minimum Load Screen. Where 12 months of line section minimum load data (including onsite load but not station service load served by the proposed Small Generating Facility) are available, can be calculated, can be estimated from existing data, or determined from a power flow model, the aggregate generating facility capacity on the line section is less than 100% of the minimum load for all line sections bounded by automatic sectionalizing devices upstream of the proposed Small Generating Facility. If minimum load data is not available, or cannot be calculated, estimated or determined, the ISO, in consultation with the CTO, shall include the reason(s) that it is unable to calculate, estimate or determine minimum load in its supplemental review results notification under Section 32.2.4.4. 32.2.4.4.1.1 The type of generation used by the proposed Small Generating Facility will be taken into account when calculating, estimating, or determining circuit or line section minimum load relevant for the application of this screen. Solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems with no battery storage use daytime minimum load (i.e., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for fixed panel systems and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for PV systems utilizing tracking systems), while all other generation uses absolute minimum load. 32.2.4.4.1.2 When this screen is being applied to a Small Generating Facility that serves some station service load, only the net injection into the Connecting Transmission Owner’s electric system will be considered as part of the aggregate generation. 32.2.4.4.1.3 The ISO, in consultation with the Connecting Transmission Owner will not consider as part of the aggregate generation for purposes of this screen generating facility capacity known to be already reflected in the minimum load data.
