Common use of Access by Utility Clause in Contracts

Access by Utility. Upon reasonable advance notice to Customer, Utility shall have access at reasonable times to the Generation Facilities whether before, during or after the time the Generation Facilities first produce energy, to perform reasonable on-site inspections to verify that the installation and operation of the Generation Facilities comply with the requirements of this Agreement and to verify the proper installation and continuing safe operation of the Generation Facilities. Utility shall also have at all times immediate access to breakers or any other equipment that will isolate the Generation Facilities from Utility's electric system. The cost of such inspection(s) shall be at Utility’s expense; however, Utility shall not be responsible for any other cost Customer may incur as a result of such inspection(s). Utility shall have the right and authority to isolate the Generation Facilities at Utility's sole discretion if Utility believes that: (a) continued interconnection and parallel operation of the Generation Facilities with Utility’s electric system creates or contributes (or will create or contribute) to a system emergency on either Utility's or Customer's electric system; (b) the Generation Facilities are not in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, and the non-compliance adversely affects the safety, reliability or power quality of Utility’s electric system; or (c) the Generation Facilities interfere with the operation of Utility's electric system. In nonemergency situations, Utility shall give Customer reasonable notice prior to isolating the Generating Facilities.
