Common use of Manual Load Shedding Clause in Contracts

Manual Load Shedding. When called upon to do so by the CAISO in accordance with this Section 7.4.2 and Section 7.4.3 to avert, manage, or alleviate a System Emergency, NCPA, on behalf of the MSSAA Members, shall implement the manual Load Shedding program described in Schedule 10. The CAISO shall notify NCPA when conditions exist that would require NCPA to implement the Load curtailment and interruptible Load programs described in Schedules 10, 10A, and 10B. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1.2 and 7.4.3, if the CAISO determines that Load curtailment is required to manage a System Emergency, the CAISO shall determine the amount and location, if applicable, of Load to be reduced and, to the extent practicable, shall allocate a portion of the required Demand reduction to NCPA as the MSS Aggregator and each UDC and MSS Operator based on the ratio of NCPA’s MSS Demand at the time of the CAISO Balancing Authority Area annual peak Demand for the previous year to total CAISO Balancing Authority Area annual peak Demand for the previous year, taking into account system considerations and NCPA’s curtailment rights. The CAISO shall consult with NCPA, together with other Market Participants, in the CAISO's annual development of a prioritization schedule for the Load Shedding program in accordance with Section 7.7.7 of the CAISO Tariff.
