RENEWABLE ENERGY WATER USE Sample Clauses

RENEWABLE ENERGY WATER USE. EFFICIENCY‌ CDWR resources management strategies to reduce water demand did not include a specific renewable energy water use efficiency strategy. The Water Forum developed the separate Imperial Region renewable energy water use efficiency strategy because the industry represents a significant economic development opportunity to the Region, has the largest forecasted increase in future water demand, and requires a reliable long-term supply that does not impact agricultural productivity. The Imperial County General Plan (Imperial County, 2003) identifies the economic development potential of the renewable energy industry and established a future water demand of 180,000 acre-feet per year. The Imperial IRWMP forecasted future renewable energy water demands with conservation as 146,000 acre-feet per year. This assumes a 20 percent water conservation savings consistent with the state’s goal for 20 percent conservation by the year 2020. The largest consumptive use for geothermal and solar thermal generation is for cooling water. Reducing water demand for imported Colorado River water is, therefore, related to improving water use efficiency for the cooling process. Solar Photovoltaic facilities have limited water demands for domestic water use and for washing panels and have a potential to decrease water demand. A reliable water supply for renewable energy industry demand could come from the following: • Capital projects to extend existing Colorado River supplies (e.g., recycled water, desalination of brackish groundwater, groundwater banking of underruns) • Conservation by existing users and managed apportionment • Demand reduction that results from changes in land use: o Temporary changes include crop idling, referred to as fallowing in the Imperial Region o Permanent changes through irrigated land retirement by rezoning land from agricultural to urban uses or other measures such as a conservation easement • A combination of capital projects, and programs and policies to reduce current water demand and reapportion water to new users In developing their findings and recommendations, the Water Forum discussed local, state, and federal policy environment; water conserving technologies; and the opportunities and constraints to meet the future water demands for the renewable energy industry.

  • Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ER Interconnection Service).

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.

  • Renewable Energy Credits 5.01. Customer shall offer PMPA and/or Utility a first right of refusal before selling or granting to any third party the right to the Green Attributes associated with its customer-owned renewable generation that is interconnected to Utility’s electric distribution system. The term Green Attributes shall include any and all credits, certificates, benefits, environmental attributes, emissions reductions, offsets, and allowances, however entitled, attributable to the generation of electricity from the customer owned-renewable generation and its displacement of conventional energy generation.

  • Energy 1. Cooperation shall take place within the principles of the market economy and the European Energy Charter, against a background of the progressive integration of the energy markets in Europe.

  • Development or Offering of Renewable Energy Sources Competitive Supplier agrees that it will comply with the applicable provisions of X.X.X. x. 00X, § 00X, § 00 F1/2, and any regulations, orders or policies adopted pursuant thereto.

  • Transmission System Operation The NTO shall be responsible for ensuring that all actions related to the operation, maintenance and modification of its facilities that are designated as NTO Transmission Facilities Under ISO Operational Control and NTO Transmission Facilities Requiring ISO Notification are performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all Reliability Rules and all other applicable reliability rules, standards and criteria, all operating instructions, ISO Tariffs, and ISO Procedures.
