For Projects involving less than thirty (30) installations, AEP Texas may aggregate the Projects for purposes of inspection, provided, however, that Market Actor shall not be penalized for the inspection failure rate of another Market Actor. This inspection shall be used to determine whether the Measures were installed and are capable of performing their intended function of producing Energy Savings and Peak Demand Savings. If AEP Texas reasonably determines that the Measures at the Project Site(s) have been installed, tested and inspected to the extent required by AEP Texas and found to be capable of providing Peak Demand Savings and Energy Savings in material compliance with the Contract Documents, the Incentive will be approved as submitted. If AEP Texas is unable to inspect Measure installations at the Project Site, those Measures may be counted as failures. 4.3 The Market Actor’s progress towards completing the Project shall be determined independently by AEP Texas, who will evaluate the inspected, installed Measures on a measure-by-measure basis to calculate an adjustment factor for Energy Savings and incentives.

The adjustment factor will then be applied to the entire incentive amount for payment. Failure of the Market Actor to timely complete or report a Project shall constitute an Event of Default, and may, in AEP Texas’ discretion, result in disqualification of the Project. As described in Chapter 4 of the SOP Manual, AEP Texas may withhold or deny payment for Measures installed at Project sites to the extent that customer identification information is not provided or is incorrectly reported. 4.4 AEP Texas’ payment of Incentive Payment(s) to Market Actor is expressly and specifically conditioned upon AEP Texas receiving all required notices, submittals and materials from market actor within the applicable period specified in this Agreement.

The Market Actor’s progress towards completing Estimated Savings attributable to the Measures documented in the Project shall Implementation Report may be determined independently reduced by AEP Texas, who will evaluate the inspected, installed percentage of Measures on a measure-by-measure basis that failed to calculate an adjustment factor for Energy Savings and incentivespass inspection. This adjustment factor will consider may also be expressed as follows: ▇▇ = the ratio amount of savings Incentives associated with the Estimated Savings to be used for calculation of the Implementation Payment in Section 7.4 PMES = the amount of Incentives associated with the Estimated Savings attributable to Measures that passed inspection ▇▇▇▇ = the amount of Incentives associated with the Estimated Savings attributable to all Measures that were inspected ▇▇▇▇▇ = the amount of Incentives associated with the Estimated Savings attributable to all Measures documented in the Project Implementation Report Summary.
5.7 Within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Project Sponsor shall submit a report to TNMP documenting the Measured Peak Demand Savings and/or Measured Energy Savings for the Performance Period (the “Performance Report”). If the Performance Report is deficient, TNMP will notify Project Sponsor of the deficiency and pass Project Sponsor shall correct the deficiency and submit a revised Performance Report within the period of time specified by TNMP in the notice of deficiency.
5.8 Any review, inspection, or acceptance by TNMP of any Project Site or of the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of the Measures is solely for the information of TNMP. In performing any such inspection or review or in accepting the Measures, TNMP makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the total incentive for Measures tagged for inspection. The adjustment factor will then be applied to the entire incentive amount for payment. Failure economic or technical feasibility, capability, safety or reliability of the Market Actor to timely complete Measures, their installation by Project Sponsor or report a Project shall constitute an Event of Default, and may, in AEP Texas’ discretion, result in disqualification of their compatibility with the Project.

Project Implementation. th
4.1 Prior to implementing a project, the Market Actor shall verify fund availability on the AEP Texas web site. Projects can be submitted until the Market Actor cap is reached or all program funds have been expended. The Market Actor Project Sponsor shall install all Measures and record those installations via by the websitethirtieth (30P P) day after the date it submits a request to reserve incentive funds for the Project on the SWEPCO web site (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/swepco/Login/Login.aspxH) . All Measure installations must be submitted within 45 days of installation. Market Actor must Project Sponsor shall submit Projects a Project Implementation Report documenting the installation information to AEP Texas SWEPCO via the AEP Texas SWEPCO web site by within 30 days of the last day of each Project Start Date. Project Sponsor shall be limited to one (1) Budget Reservation at a time, and one (1) Invoice per month. All Projects Any Project with a Reservation Date of October 31, 2014 or later shall be completed and submitted by November 30, 20242014, the end of the Implementation Period.
4.2 Upon Within forty-five (45) days of receipt of all necessary documentationan invoice, AEP Texas SWEPCO shall complete an inspection of a statistically significant sample of the Measure installations at the Project Site. For Projects involving less than thirty (30) installations, AEP Texas SWEPCO may aggregate the Projects for purposes of inspection, provided, however, that Market Actor Project Sponsor shall not be penalized for the inspection failure rate of another Market Actorproject sponsor. This inspection shall be used to determine whether the Measures were installed and are capable of performing their intended function of producing Energy Savings and Peak Demand Savings. If AEP Texas SWEPCO reasonably determines that the Measures at the Project Site(s) have been installed, tested and inspected to the extent required by AEP Texas SWEPCO and found to be capable of providing Peak Demand Savings and Energy Savings in material compliance with the Contract Documents, the Incentive invoice will be approved as submitted. As set forth in the SOP Manual, a Load Factor cap governs the total payment allowed, based on the ratio between demand and energy savings from a Project. If AEP Texas SWEPCO is unable to inspect Measure installations at the Project Site, those Measures may be counted as failures.
4.3 The Market ActorProject Sponsor’s progress towards completing the Project shall be determined independently by AEP TexasSWEPCO, who will evaluate the inspected, installed Measures on a measure-by-measure basis to calculate an adjustment factor for Energy Savings and incentives.
