Barriers due to the inherent Sample Clauses

Barriers due to the inherent complexity of life cycle approaches The main identified barriers which prevent the adoption of life cycle methodologies and are directly related to the inherent complexity of this approach are the following: • Complexity of implementing life cycle methodologies; • Multiplicity of existing methodologies and initiatives; • Difficulty to interpret and use the results. Let us consider the complexity of implementing life cycle methodologies, particularly for non- initiated/non-expert profiles [11]. Their implementation requires preliminary comprehension of the technical aspects and potential compliance with defined requirements. In addition, most life cycle methodologies aim at providing a general framework for the assessment of generic products (e.g. covering all ICT services), thus leaving to the practitioner much of the interpretation on many aspects including the following questions [12]: • What is the scope and boundary of the product or system under study (e.g. should third party datacentres be included in the scope of the assessment of an organisation)? • Is primary data available (e.g. from an industrial plant)? When primary data is not used, which generic data should be used (e.g. third-party commercial databases such as ecoinvent)? • Which environmental impact indicators should be assessed (e.g. climate change, resource depletion)? Which characterisation methods should be selected? The generic and complex nature of most methodologies is considered to be of higher impact on SMEs for several reasons (see section 3.3), one of the main reasons being that SMEs do not have the same financial and human resources as larger companies.

  • Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.

  • Offtake constraints due to Backdown The Solar Power Developer and Buying Entity shall follow the forecasting and scheduling process as per the regulations in this regard by the Appropriate Commission. The Government of India, as per Clause 5.2(u) of the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC), encourages a status of “must-run” to solar power projects. Accordingly, no solar power plant, duly commissioned, should be directed to back down by a Discom/ Load Dispatch Centre (LDC). In the eventuality of backdown, including backdown on account of non-dispatch of power due to non-compliance with “Order No. 23/22/2019- R&R dated 28.06.2019 of Ministry of Power regarding Opening and maintaining of adequate Letter of Credit (LC) as Payment Security Mechanism under Power Purchase Agreements by Distribution Licensees” and any clarifications or amendment thereto, except for the cases where the Backdown is on account of events like consideration of grid security or safety of any equipment or personnel or other such conditions, subject to the submission of documentary evidences from the competent authority, the SPD shall be eligible for a minimum generation compensation, from Buying Entity, restricted to the following and there shall be no other claim, directly or indirectly against SECI: Duration of Backdown Provision for Generation Compensation Hours of Backdown during a monthly billing cycle. Generation Compensation = 100% of [(Average Generation per hour during the month) X (number of backdown hours during the month)] X PPA tariff Where, Average Generation per hour during the month (kWh) = Total generation in the month (kWh) ÷ Total hours of generation in the month
