Baseline Energy Use Clause Samples

The Baseline Energy Use clause establishes a reference point for the amount of energy typically consumed by a facility or system before any energy-saving measures are implemented. This baseline is usually determined by analyzing historical energy consumption data over a defined period, taking into account factors such as occupancy, weather, and operational hours. By setting this standard, the clause enables accurate measurement of energy savings achieved through efficiency projects, ensuring that performance improvements can be objectively verified and disputes over savings calculations are minimized.
Baseline Energy Use. A calculation of energy use of a building or piece of equipment over a specified period used to project energy use had the project not been implemented. Energy Conservation Measures (ECM). A measure to reduce energy use or costs, such as the installation of equipment or systems, or modification of equipment or systems, or revised operation and maintenance procedures. Guaranteed Performance. The annual energy unit and cost savings, which the Contractor guarantees will be realized by the State as a result of the Project, will be calculated in accordance with the methodology (i.e., the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Options A and B) described in the original RFP and agreed to by Contractor in its RFP response. The Parties agree that the final M&V Plan will be negotiated and mutually agreed to during the development of the IGA. Excess annual energy units and cost savings obtained by the

The Parties agree that the final M&V Plan will be negotiated and mutually agreed to during the development of the IGA. Excess annual energy units and cost savings obtained by the State beyond the Contractor's annual guarantee cannot be used as a credit by the Contractor in any previous or subsequent years of the contract term and will not be applied for any shortfall in guaranteed energy units or cost savings during the contract term. Each Group must meet the 17 year payback requirement on its own. Measures must be easily separated by building for ease of calculating loan repayments. All energy and cost savings derived from the implementation of this project will be retained by the State.

Baseline Energy Use. The Baseline Energy Use was calculated using annual electricity and natural gas consumptions for the years 2011 through 2014. Gas consumption was normalized based on Heating Degree Days; electric consumption was normalized as the average of the historical years. The Baseline Energy Use is shown in Table L2 below: Table L2 Baseline Energy Use - Normalized Energy Consumption No. Buildings Eversource Electric Rate Classification Area, sq-ft Electric, kWh Natural Gas, Therms 1 Government Center R58 272,000 5,169,842 121,762 2 Rippowam MS R56 227,700 1,105,403 103,387 3 Roxbury ES R30 86,706 568,190 56,034 4 Stamford HS R56 381,408 3,308,942 192,060 5 Westhill HS (incl.

Baseline Energy Use. The Baseline Energy Use is obtained by measuring or calculating the average energy consumption at Customer’s Premises or ECM prior to work performed by Contractor under the Project Agreement during the Baseline Period. It shall be established by Contractor after identification and consideration of, and controlling for, the Factors Affecting Energy Use. It is understood that in the event of changes in Factors Affecting Energy Use, the Baselines will be revised from time to time as detailed in this Agreement. In addition, data collected during the period before construction may indicate a change of the energy use pattern at the Premises and require a change to the Baselines. Contractor shall notify the Customer, in writing, of all such changes.

  • 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.
