Electric Power System (‘EPS’) definition
Electric Power System (‘EPS’). The electrical distribution system used and owned by the Cooperative to serve its members. Sometimes referred to as the Cooperative’s EPS. The term “Area EPS” indicates the section of the EPS directly impacted by the operation of the DG Facility. • Electric power system operator (‘EPS Operator’): the entity responsible for designing, building, operating, and maintaining the EPS. Typically the Cooperative is the EPS Operator for the electric distribution system. In some cases the Cooperative may be located in an area assigned to another entity such as the Georgia Power Company (‘GPC’) or a municipal owned utility system. In cases involving high-voltage power transmission systems, the Cooperative is not the EPS Operator. • Energy Management Company: A subsidiary or joint-venture wherein resources typically belonging to the Cooperative are in-fact employed or owned by the Energy Management Company and utilized on behalf of the Cooperative under a valid contract.
