Common use of Program Commitment Clause in Contracts

Program Commitment. Customer shall select between two notification options set forth in Schedule BIP, either Option A or Option B, for program participation and earned incentive as consistent with Schedule BIP included herein. Option A: Option B: Customer may, at any time, select to participate in BIP via a Marketer (as such term is defined in Rule 29, Third-Party Marketers for Base Interruptible Program) by submitting a “Notice to Add, Change or Terminate a Third-Party Marketer for Base Interruptible Program” (Form No. 142-05216) and designating a Marketer therein. Except in the case of a termination of a Marketer Agreement between the Marketer and SDG&E as provided in Rule 29, Customer may only change Marketers, or otherwise terminate its designation of a Marketer, during the month of November (with such change or termination becoming effective the following January 1), by submitting a “Notice to Add, Change or Terminate a Third-Party Marketer for Base Interruptible Program” (Form No. 142- 05216) setting forth such change or termination. Participation in BIP via a Marketer, including the designation and termination of such Marketer and its services, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Rule 29, Third-Party Marketers for Base Interruptible Program. SDG&E must receive a signed “Authorization To: Receive Customer Information or Act on a Customer’s Behalf” to release customer-specific electric usage data to any designated Marketer. Subject to Customer authorization, for each request to release customer-specific electric usage data, SDG&E will provide a maximum of the most recent 12 month’s customer electric usage data (or all data available if Customer has less than 12 month’s usage history) to Customer, or such designated Marketer. If Customer, or its designated Marketer, requests this historic usage more than two times per year for a specific service account, SDG&E shall have the ability to assess a processing charge if approved by the Commission. If any security has not been provided or does not adequately cover the outstanding charges owed by a designated Marketer to SDG&E, Customer will be liable for any such remaining outstanding charges (including Excess Energy Usage Charges) to the extent incurred by Customer, as provided in Rule 29, Third-Party Marketers for Base Interruptible Program.
