Operation
of Project Generating Stations. Corporation shall operate and maintain the
Project Generating Stations in a manner consistent with safe,

Energy pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Each
Sponsoring Company’s Available Power Entitlement hereunder
shall be its Power Participation Ratio, as defined in
subsection 1.0120, of Available Power.
|
|
4.03
|
Available
Energy. Corporation
shall make Available Energy available to each Sponsoring Company in
proportion to said Sponsoring Company’s Power Participation
Ratio. No Sponsoring Company, however, shall be obligated to avail
itself of any Available Energy. Available Energy shall be scheduled
and taken by the Sponsoring Companies in accordance with the
following procedures:
|
|
|
4.031
|
Each Sponsoring
Company shall schedule the delivery of all or any portion (in whole
MW increments) of its entitlement to Available Energy in accordance
with scheduling procedures established by the Operating Committee
from time to time.
|
|
|
4.032
|
In the event
that any Sponsoring Company does not schedule the delivery of all
of its Power Participation Ratio share of Available Energy, then
each such other Sponsoring Company may schedule the delivery of all
or any portion (in whole MW increments) of any such unscheduled
share of Available Energy (through successive allotments if
necessary) in proportion to their Power Participation
Ratios.
|
|
|
4.033
|
Notwithstanding
any Available Energy schedules made in accordance with this Section
4.03 and the applicable scheduling procedures, (i) the Corporation
shall adjust all schedules to the extent that the
Corporation’s actual generation output is less than or more
than the expected Nominal Power Available to all Sponsoring
Companies, or to the extent that the Corporation is unable to
obtain sufficient transmission service under the Tariff for the
delivery of all scheduled Available Energy; and (ii) immediately
following a Minimum Loading Event, any Sponsoring Company causing
(in whole or part) such Minimum Loading Event shall have its
Available Energy schedules increased after the schedules of the
Sponsoring Companies not causing such Minimum Load Event, in
accordance with the estimated ramp rates associated with the
shutdown and start-up of the Corporation’s generation units
as reflected in the schedules prepared by the Operating Committee
and in effect as of the commencement of any Minimum Loading Event,
which schedules may be adjusted from time to time as necessary by
the Operating Committee.
|
|
|
4.034
|
Each Sponsoring
Company availing itself of Available Energy shall be entitled to an
amount of energy (herein called billing kilowatt-hours of Available
Energy) equal to its portion, determined as provided in this
Section 4.03, of the total Available Energy after deducting
therefrom such Sponsoring Company’s proportionate share, as
defined in this Section 4.03, of all losses as determined in
accordance with the Tariff incurred in transmitting the total of
such Available Energy from the 345-kV busses of the Project
Generating Stations to the applicable delivery points, as scheduled
pursuant to Section 9.01, of all Sponsoring Companies availing
themselves of Available Energy. The proportionate share of all such
losses that shall be so deducted from such Sponsoring
Company’s portion of Available Energy shall be equal to all
such losses multiplied by the ratio of such portion of Available
Energy to the total of such Available Energy. Each Sponsoring
Company shall have the right, pursuant to this Section 4.03, to
avail itself of Available Energy for the purpose of meeting the
loads of its own system and/or of supplying energy to other systems
in accordance with agreements, other than this Agreement, to which
such Sponsoring Company is a party.
|
|
|
4.035
|
To the extent
that, as a result of the failure by one or more Sponsoring
Companies to take its respective Power Participation Ratio share of
the applicable Total Minimum Generating Output during any hour, a
Minimum Loading Event shall occur, then such one or more Sponsoring
Companies shall be assessed charges for any Minimum Loading Event
Costs in accordance with Section 5.06.

Total
Monthly Charge. The
amount to be paid to Corporation each month by the Sponsoring
Companies for Available Power and Available Energy supplied under
this Agreement shall consist of the sum of an energy charge, a
demand charge, a transmission charge and, if applicable, an
emergency energy charge, all determined as set forth in this
Article 5.

|
Energy
Charge. The energy
charge to be paid each month by the Sponsoring Companies for
Available Energy shall be determined by Corporation as
follows:
|
|
|
5.021
|
Determine the
aggregate of all expenses for fuel incurred in the operation of the
Project Generating Stations, in accordance with Account 501 (Fuel),
Account 506.5 (Variable Reagent Costs Associated With Pollution
Control Facilities) and 509 (Allowances) of the Uniform System of
Accounts.
|
|
|
5.022

Determine for
such month the difference between the total cost of fuel as
described in subsection 5.021 above and the sum of (i) the total
cost of fuel used to generate ECAR Emergency Energy, and (ii) the
total cost of fuel included in any Minimum Loading Event Costs
payable to the Corporation for such month pursuant to Section 8.04.
For the purposes hereof the difference so determined shall be the
fuel cost allocable for such month to the total kilowatt-hours of
energy generated at the Project Generating Stations for the supply
of Available Energy. For Available Energy availed of by the
Sponsoring Companies, each Sponsoring Company shall pay Corporation
for each such month an amount obtained by multiplying the ratio of
the billing kilowatt-hours of such Available Energy availed of by
such Sponsoring Company during such month to the aggregate of the
billing kilowatt-hours of all Available Energy availed of by all
Sponsoring Companies during such month times the total cost of fuel
as described in this subsection 5.022 for such month.

Demand
Charge . During the
period commencing with the Effective Date and for the remainder of
the term of this Agreement, demand charges payable by the
Sponsoring Companies to Corporation shall be determined by the
Corporation as provided below in this Section 5.03. Each Sponsoring
Company's share of the aggregate demand charges shall be the
percentage of such charges represented by its Power Participation
Ratio.
The aggregate
demand charge payable each month by the Sponsoring Companies to
Corporation shall be equal to the total costs incurred for such
month by Corporation resulting from its ownership, operation, and
maintenance of the Project Generating Stations and Project
Transmission Facilities determined as follows:
