CHP RFOs Sample Clauses

CHP RFOs. 4.2.1 Each IOU shall conduct RFOs exclusively for CHP resources (CHP RFOs) as a means of achieving its MW Target and GHG Emissions Reduction Targets, consistent with the terms of this Settlement. 4.2.2 Eligibility‌‌‌‌ 4.2.2.1 Any CHP Facility with a nameplate larger than 5 MW may bid into the CHP RFO, including CHP Facilities seeking firm and as-available capacity PPAs, provided that the CHP Facility meets the definition of cogeneration under California Public Utilities Code §216.6 and the Emissions Performance Standard established by Public Utilities Code §8341 (Senate Bill 1368). A CHP Facility must meet the federal definition of a qualifying cogeneration facility under 18 CFR §292.205 implementing PURPA. 4.2.2.2 CHP Facilities converting to Utility Prescheduled Facilities. A CHP Facility that met the PURPA efficiency requirements (18 C.F.R. §292.205) as of September 2007 and converts to a Utility Prescheduled Facility is also eligible to participate in the CHP RFOs. After the Existing CHP Facility converts to a Utility Prescheduled Facility, it may be either a Qualifying Facility or an Exempt Wholesale Generator if the facility otherwise meets the criteria in this Section 4.2.2.2.

CHP RFOs. 5.1.4.1 Each IOU shall conduct three RFOs during the Initial Program Period to seek PPAs for the portion of the MW Targets set forth in Section 5.1.2., not otherwise procured by other procurement processes described in Section 4 (Net MW Target(s)).‌ 5.1.4.2 The CHP RFOs during the Initial Program Period shall be scheduled at regular intervals, provided the first CHP RFO is initiated within ninety (90) days of the Settlement Effective Date. 5.1.4.3 The amount of CHP sought in each CHP RFO during the Initial Program Period shall not be less than the Net MW Target for each IOU. An IOU may procure MWs in excess of the MW Targets in Section 5.1.2 above relying upon an RFO or any other CHP Procurement Processes listed in Section 4. 5.1.4.4 If an IOU does not meet its MW Targets identified in Section 5.1.2 at the end of any particular RFO, the portion of the unmet MW Target shall be rolled over into the subsequent MW Target for procurement. 5.1.4.5 Any MW shortfall that occurs in the Initial Program Period shall be rolled over into the Second Program Period to reach the 3,000 MW Target; however, such shortfall may also be addressed by other actions deemed appropriate by the CPUC. 5.1.4.6 The number of CHP RFOs in the Second Program Period to meet MW Targets, if any, shall be established in the LTPP proceedings. Except for SDG&E there are no established MW Targets in the Second Program Period. There are GHG Emissions Reduction Targets in the Second Program Period as defined in Section 6.‌‌‌ 5.1.4.7 The number of CHP RFOs in the Second Program Period shall be established in the LTPP proceedings. 5.1.4.8 The MWs required in the Second Program Period may be limited or expanded, as determined by the CPUC in the LTPP process, but shall be no less than the MW Targets for the Second Program Period specified in Section 5.1.2 above.

  • Dark Fiber Loop 2.8.4.1 Dark Fiber Loop is an unused optical transmission facility, without attached signal regeneration, multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics, from the demarcation point at an End User’s premises to the End User’s serving wire center. Dark Fiber Loops may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. BellSouth will not provide line terminating elements, regeneration or other electronics necessary for AFN to utilize Dark Fiber Loops.

  • Power Factor Design Criteria (Reactive Power A wind generating plant shall maintain a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, measured at the Point of Interconnection as defined in this LGIA, if the ISO’s System Reliability Impact Study shows that such a requirement is necessary to ensure safety or reliability. The power factor range standards can be met using, for example without limitation, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors if agreed to by the Connecting Transmission Owner for the Transmission District to which the wind generating plant will be interconnected, or a combination of the two. The Developer shall not disable power factor equipment while the wind plant is in operation. Wind plants shall also be able to provide sufficient dynamic voltage support in lieu of the power system stabilizer and automatic voltage regulation at the generator excitation system if the System Reliability Impact Study shows this to be required for system safety or reliability.

  • COVID-19 Vaccine Passports Pursuant to Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 161.0085(c), Contractor certifies that it does not require its customers to provide any documentation certifying the customer’s COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery on entry to, to gain access to, or to receive service from the Contractor’s business. Contractor acknowledges that such a vaccine or recovery requirement would make Contractor ineligible for a state-funded contract.

  • Dark Fiber Transport Dark Fiber Transport is defined as Dedicated Transport that consists of unactivated optical interoffice transmission facilities without attached signal regeneration, multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. Except as set forth in Section 6.9.1 below, BellSouth shall not be required to provide access to Dark Fiber Transport Entrance Facilities pursuant to this Agreement.

  • Two-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.4.1 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between Verizon and KDL, KDL, at its own expense, shall: 2.4.1.1 provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Verizon’s network in a LATA; and/or 2.4.1.2 obtain transport to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Verizon’s network in a LATA (a) from a third party, or, (b) if Verizon offers such transport pursuant to this Agreement or an applicable Verizon Tariff, from Verizon. 2.4.2 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between Verizon and KDL, Verizon, at its own expense, shall provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Verizon’s network in a LATA. 2.4.3 Prior to establishing any Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, KDL shall meet with Verizon to conduct a joint planning meeting (“Joint Planning Meeting”). At that Joint Planning Meeting, each Party shall provide to the other Party originating Centium Call Seconds (Hundred Call Seconds) information, and the Parties shall mutually agree on the appropriate initial number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks and the interface specifications at the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Verizon’s network in a LATA at which the Parties interconnect for the exchange of traffic. Where the Parties have agreed to convert existing One-Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, at the Joint Planning Meeting, the Parties shall also mutually agree on the conversion process and project intervals for conversion of such One- Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.4 On a semi-annual basis, KDL shall submit a good faith forecast to Verizon of the number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that KDL anticipates Verizon will need to provide during the ensuing two (2) year period for the exchange of traffic between KDL and Verizon.
