Standby Status Clause Samples
The Standby Status clause defines the conditions under which a party or equipment is placed on standby, meaning it is ready for use but not actively engaged. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for declaring standby status, the responsibilities of the parties during this period, and any compensation or cost implications associated with being on standby. For example, in service or construction contracts, equipment or personnel may be put on standby due to delays or unforeseen circumstances, with agreed rates for standby time. The core function of this clause is to clarify expectations and financial arrangements during periods of inactivity, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring fair treatment for both parties.

If Central ▇▇▇▇▇▇ desires in the future to flow power over the First Tie and Second Tie simultaneously under normal conditions, Central ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall request the ISO to conduct a study to determine whether the simultaneous operation requires an enhancement of transmission facilities and shall satisfy any obligation that exists under the ISO Tariff to pay for such enhancements.
