Exceptions Related to Counting for Existing CHP Facilities. 5.2.4.1 To the extent the full net output is offered by an Existing CHP Facility but is not procured by the IOU, only the capacity procured by an IOU shall count towards any IOU’s MW Target. 5.2.4.1.1 For example – if a 50 MW capacity CHP Facility from the July 2010 Semi-Annual Report offers 40 MW for procurement, and the IOU procures less than 40 MW, only the capacity procured will count towards the IOU’s MW Target. If the CHP Facility sells the full 40 MW offered, then the IOU may count the full 50 MW of capacity reported in the July 2010 Semi-Annual Report. 5.2.4.2 Coal-fired, wood waste, and renewable QFs in an IOU’s portfolio as of July 2010 will not count towards the IOU’s MW Targets.‌‌‌ 5.2.4.3 Any Existing CHP Facility that does not export power to the grid will not count toward the IOU’s MW Target, including existing SGIP facilities. 5.2.4.4 If an IOU contracts with an Existing CHP Facility that is currently operating in the State but has never sold to an IOU, the capacity from such CHP Facility will be determined by a Capacity Demonstration Test. This test will determine the CHP Facility’s capability to serve on site and PUC §218(b) loads and provide net exports to the grid, excluding auxiliary/station power load. 5.2.4.4.1 If a CHP Facility elects and is eligible under the Optional As- Available Program, the specific counting rules of that program shall apply for the purpose of calculating the subscription cap in the Optional As Available Program.
