Meteorological Data Clause Samples
The Meteorological Data clause defines the requirements and responsibilities related to the collection, use, and sharing of weather-related information within the context of the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies which party is responsible for obtaining accurate meteorological data, the standards or sources to be used (such as national weather services), and how this data will be communicated or relied upon for operational decisions. Its core function is to ensure that all parties have access to consistent and reliable weather information, thereby reducing disputes and managing risks associated with weather-dependent activities.
Meteorological Data. Seller must supply ambient dry-bulb temperature data, relative humidity data, and barometric pressure data from the site. The sensors and equipment used to measure and record this data must represent ambient conditions at the site and must be installed in a way that the sensor readings are not adversely affected by buildings, vents, structures, or local obstacles. The siting of the equipment and sensors must be consistent with EPA guidelines for meteorological monitoring programs ( EPA (1987). On-Site Meteorological Program Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications, EPA-450/4-87-013. Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇). Buyer reserves the right to review the placement of the meteorological equipment and sensors and approve/disapprove the location. The sensors must meet the following specifications: Dry Bulb Temperature: Accuracy +/- 0.10 Deg C over the full range; Range: -50 Deg C to + 50 Deg C; Time Constant: </= 3.6 seconds; Linearity: +/- 0.16 Deg C Relative Humidity: Accuracy < +/- 1% RH from 10% to 90%; Range 0 to 100%; Operating Temperature Range: -10 Deg C to + 60 Deg C; Stability: +/- 1% over 24 Months; Response Time 10 seconds Barometric Pressure: Accuracy </= 0.1% of full scale; Operating range: 600 to 1,100hPa; Operating temperature: -20 Deg C to +80 Deg C; Time Constant: less than 10 ms. All sensors, when new, must have a National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) traceable calibration certificate. The Seller must calibrate the meteorological sensors using transfer standards that are traceable to NIST at an interval not to exceed every six months. The results of these calibrations must be kept in the project file for a minimum of five years and copies provided to the Buyer for review within 30 days of the date of the calibration. Data collection of dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure must be consistent with Section 3.8(a) Metering Requirements and Data.

PacifiCorp shall have the right to periodically inspect and test the meteorological data towers. Seller shall bear all costs relating to performance of its obligations under this Section 9.7, provided that the actual expense of any PacifiCorp-requested additional inspection or testing shall be borne by PacifiCorp. Seller shall maintain all data obtained from the meteorological data towers for a period of at least two (2) years and shall make all such data available to PacifiCorp and PacifiCorp Representatives upon written request.
Meteorological Data. Seller must supply to Buyer ambient dry-bulb temperature data, relative humidity data, and barometric pressure data from the Site. The sensors and equipment used to measure and record this data must represent ambient conditions at the Site and must be installed in a way that the sensor readings are not adversely affected by buildings, vents, structures, or local obstacles. The siting of the equipment and sensors must be consistent with EPA guidelines for meteorological monitoring programs (EPA (2000) – Meteorological Monitoring Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications, EPA-454/R-99-005 Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ EPA (2008) –Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems.

Prior to installation of the sensors and other equipment described in this Section 3.7(f), Seller shall Notify Buyer of the proposed location of the meteorological equipment and sensors and Buyer may approve or disapprove of the location for commercially reasonable purposes. Any request by Buyer for Seller to change the placement of the meteorological equipment shall be performed at the cost of Seller. Such equipment as specified in this Section 3.7(f) shall be used for all meteorological purposes under the terms of this Agreement, including settlement and compensation purposes and testing. The sensors must meet the following specifications:
Meteorological Data. The Interconnection Customer shall provide the Transmission Provider with site- specific meteorological data, in accordance with Article 8.4, including but not limited to one (1) minute and hourly time-averaged measurements from data samples at ten (10) seconds or greater frequency for the following parameters at the Generating Facility: total global horizontal irradiance, total global radiation within the plane of the array, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, back of module surface temperature and other pertinent meteorological conditions.
Meteorological Data. No later than the Commercial Operation Date, Seller will install, own, inspect, test and maintain during the Term at least three (3) industry approved remote sensing devices at the Premises in accordance with Prudent Electrical Practice. The remote sensing devices required pursuant to this Section 9.7 will, at a minimum, record the meteorological and other data with respect to the Facility and the Premises consistent with Exhibit O. PacifiCorp will have the right to periodically inspect and test the remote sensing devices. Seller will bear all costs relating to performance of its obligations under this Section 9.7, provided that the actual expense of any PacifiCorp-requested additional inspection or testing will be borne by PacifiCorp. At Seller’s cost and expense, Seller will maintain all data obtained from the remote sensing devices for a period of at least two (2) years and will make all such data available to (a) the vendor selected pursuant to Section 6.8 on a real time basis and (b) PacifiCorp and PacifiCorp Representatives and any vendor mutually agreed to by the Parties pursuant to the definition of Potential Net Output upon written request.
