Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates Clause Samples
The Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates clause establishes a framework for managing and coordinating the use of specific transmission paths, known as flowgates, that are shared between two or more parties. In practice, this clause outlines how each party will recognize and respect the other's rights and obligations regarding these flowgates, often including procedures for monitoring, reporting, and resolving congestion or capacity issues. By defining mutual responsibilities and coordination mechanisms, the clause ensures efficient and equitable use of shared transmission infrastructure, reducing the risk of disputes and operational inefficiencies.
Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates.

Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates. The Relationship Between Coordinated Flowgates and Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates
Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates. In order to coordinate congestion management on a proactive basis, Operating Entities may agree to respect each other’s Flowgate limitations during the determination of AFC/ATC and the calculation of firmness during real-time operations. Entities agreeing to coordinate this future-looking management of Flowgate capacity are Reciprocal Entities. The Flowgates used in that process are Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates (RCFs).
