Common use of Operation Beyond Net Generating Capability Clause in Contracts

Operation Beyond Net Generating Capability. It is the intent of the Parties that ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇ will be operated within the parameters recommended by the manufacturers of the Unit in order to maximize the useful life of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇ and preserve its ability to operate as a high-availability base-load power supply resource and to avoid high maintenance costs that may be incurred due to operation of the Unit above its Net Generating Capability. It is further recognized that at times of testing, or in the case of a system emergency or where requested by a Lessee/Owner Party that foresees or has implemented firm-load-obligation interruptions after taking all other prudent actions to avoid such interruptions, it may become necessary or appropriate to operate the Unit for short periods of time (generally not to exceed four hours) above its Net Generating Capability. Consistent with Prudent Utility Practice, the Operating Agent shall keep such operations to a minimum and simultaneously communicate with all Lessee/Owner Parties regarding such operations.
