Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy. 4.4.1 The SPD will declare the CUF of the project and will be allowed to revise the same once within first year after COD of the project. Thereafter, the CUF for the Project shall remain unchanged for the entire term of the PPA. The declared annual CUF shall in no case be less than 17%. It shall be the responsibility of the SPD, entirely at its cost and expense to install such number of Solar panels and associated infrastructure(like project equipment)as may be necessary to achieve the required CUF, and for this purpose SPD shall make its own study and investigation of the GHI and other factors prevalent in the area which have implication on the quantum of generation. Further, arrangement of extra land for such installation shall be intimated to MSPDCL in advance and MSPDCL shall have to reply for the same in 7 days in the best interest of the project generation. However,non- availability of land shall not absolve SPD from his obligations under the PPA. SPD shall maintain generation so as to achieve annual CUF within + 10% and -15% of the declared value till the end of 10 years from COD, subject to the annual CUF remaining minimum of 15%, and within +10% and -20% of the declared value of the annual CUF thereafter till the end of the PPA duration of 25 years. The lower limit will, however, be relaxable by MSPDCL to the extent of non-availability of grid for evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPD. The annual CUF will be calculated every Contract Year. The compensation due to shortfall in generation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be equal to the compensation payable (including equivalent amount of Electricity purchased from the grid for meeting load demand due to short fall in solar power) by the buying Entity, which shall ensure that the buying Entity is offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and supply of power under the PPA, subject to a minimum of 50% (fifty per cent) of the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff. The amount, being equal to the compensation payable, by the buying Entity for not meeting load requirements is only a measure of damage. It shall not be construed that the compensation is payable by SPD only if the buying Entity are required to pay compensation for such not meeting of load requirements or that the buying Entity or the SPD shall be required to prove or establish such payment of compensa...
Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy. 4.4.1 SECI, at any time during a Contract Year, shall not be obliged to purchase any additional energy from the SPD beyond Million kWh (MU). If for any Contract Year, it is found that the SPD has not been able to generate minimum energy of Million kWh (MU) till the end of 10 years from the Scheduled Commissioning Date and ------- -- Million kWh (MU) for the rest of the Term of the Agreement, on account of reasons solely attributable to the SPD, the non-compliance by SPD shall make SPD liable to pay the compensation provided in the PSA as payable to Buying Utilities and shall duly pay such compensation to SECI to enable SECI to remit the amount to Buying Utilities. This will, however be relaxable by SECI to the extent of grid non-availability for evacuation, which is beyond the control of the SPD. This compensation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of such penalty shall be as determined by the Appropriate Commission/Authority, and such penalty shall ensure that the Buying Utilities are offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and supply of power under the PPA. However, the minimum compensation payable to SECI by the SPD shall be 25% (twenty-five per cent) of the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff. This compensation shall not be applicable in events of Force Majeure identified under PPA with SECI affecting supply of solar power by SPD.

This compensation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Period. The amount of compensation shall be computed at the rate equal to the compensation payable by the ESCOM, subject to a minimum of 50% of the applicable tariff. In case of purchase of any excess energy, Purchase of any excess energy, beyond the energy generated corresponding to a maximum CUF as mentioned by the Solar Power Developer during the signing of PPA for solar PV (new projects), shall be charged at a rate equivalent to 75% of PPA tariff or 75% of the applicable APPC charges (as published by KERC), whichever is less, provided first right of refusal will vest with the ESCOMs. In case of repowering, The Solar Power Developer shall be free to re-power their plants from time to time during the PPA duration. For repowering, the purchase of any excess energy, beyond the energy generated corresponding to a maximum CUF as mentioned by the Solar Power Developer during the signing of PPA for solar PV (new projects), shall be charged at a rate equivalent to 75% of Effective Tariff or 75% of applicable APPC charges, whichever is minimum, provided first right of refusal will vest with the ESCOMs. In case of off-take constraint due to transmission infrastructure or grid unavaialbility, No compensation shall be provided towards any offtake constraints due to transmission infrastructure or grid unavailability. For part commissioning, Part commissioning shall mean commissioning of a threshold capacity of 30 MWAC and can achieve further Part Commissioning in minimum steps of 10 MWAC till full Commissioning of the Project is achieved, subject to the acceptance by the CEIG and the conce...

This compensation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be computed at the rate equal to the compensation payable by the ESCOM towards non-meeting of RPOs, subject to a minimum of 25% of the applicable tariff.
Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy. 4.3.1 PGVCL, in any Contract Year shall not be obliged to purchase any additional energy from the SPG beyond the contract capacity.

PGVCL shall not be obliged to purchase energy in excess of maximum CUF of 30% during any contract year. If _PGVCL decides to purchase the excess energy beyond CUF of 30%, the payments for such excess energy shall be made at 75% of the PPA tariff. For the first year of operation, the above limits shall be considered on pro-rata basis. The lower limit will, however be relaxable by PGVCL to the extent of grid non-availability for evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPG.

This compensation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Period. The amount of compensation shall be computed at the rate equal to the compensation payable by the SPD, subject to a minimum of 25% of the PPA tariff.
