Common use of Calculations of average EFORD for Accounted-For Obligations for Unforced Capacity Clause in Contracts

Calculations of average EFORD for Accounted-For Obligations for Unforced Capacity. The average EFORD used to determine a Load Serving Entity’s ability to meet its Accounted-For Obligation for Unforced Capacity in a month shall be the average of the forced outage rates, weighted for unit capability, calculated on a twelve-month rolling average basis for the twelve-month period ending two months prior to the first month of the Interval for which the obligation was incurred, attributable to all of the generating units of the Load Serving Entity committed to serve load within the Zone. These resources include Capacity Resources purchased from specified units and exclude Capacity Resources sold from specified units. Such rate shall also include (i) an adjustment, if any, for capacity unavailable due to energy limitations determined in accordance with definitions and criteria set forth in the PJM Manuals and (ii) any other adjustment approved by the Members Committee to adjust the parameters of a designated unit. 1. The EFORD of a unit in service twelve or more full calendar months prior to the calculation month shall be the average rate experienced by such unit during the twelve most recent calendar months, allowing for up to a two month period to collect data and calculate rates. Historical data shall be based on official reports of the Parties under rules and practices set forth in the PJM Manuals.

Original Sheet No. 31C First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32 2. The EFORD of a unit in service at least one full calendar month but less than twelve full calendar months prior to the calculation month shall be the average of the actual EFORD experienced by the unit weighted by full months of service, and the class average rate for units with that capability and of that type weighted by twelve minus months of service, allowing for up to a two-month period to collect data and calculate rates. Historical data shall be based on official reports of the Parties under rules and practices set forth in the PJM Manuals.

Second Revised Sheet No. 31D First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32 Superseding First Revised Sheet No. 31D A. Parties can receive an adjustment to their load used in determining their Accounted-For Obligation for ALM that is operated under the direction of the Office of the Interconnection. For a Party to receive this adjustment to load, ALM must satisfy the following criteria: 1. A Party must formally notify, in accordance with the requirements of the PJM Manuals and paragraph E of this schedule as applicable, the Office of the Interconnection of the ALM that it is placing under the direction of the Office of the Interconnection. 2. The initiation of load interruption, upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection, must be within the authority of the dispatchers of the Party. No additional approvals should be required. 3. A period of no more than 2 hours prior notification must apply to interruptible customers. 4. The initiation of ALM upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection is considered an emergency action and must be implementable prior to a voltage reduction. 5. A Party must agree to reserve, for interruption at the direction of the Office of the Interconnection, at least 10 interruptions per Planning Period in order to receive ALM credit. 6. A Party must agree to reserve interruptions of at least 6-hour duration. As a minimum, such 6-hour duration for interruptions should be available on weekdays during the 8-hour daily peak window for the appropriate season. There will be no credit given to Parties who choose to provide interruption less than 6 hours and/or exclusive of the above time period. 7. The ALM must be available during the summer period of June through September for credit in the corresponding Planning Period. B. The ALM load credit of a Party will be determined as: The ALM load credit of a Party will be the product of the nominal megawatt value of that Party’s ALM multiplied by the ALM Factor. The ALM Factor is a factor established by the Members Committee to reflect the increase in the peak load carrying capability in the PJM Region due to ALM for the PJM Region divided by the total nominal amount of ALM in the PJM Region. The PJM ALM Factor will be determined Issued By: Xxxxx Xxxxxx Effective: June 1, 2004 Vice President, Governmental Policy Issued On: Xxxxx 0, 0000 XXX Interconnection, L.L.C. Second Revised Sheet No. 31E First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32 Superseding First Revised Sheet No. 31E using an analytical program that uses a probabilistic approach to determine reliability. The determination of the PJM ALM Factor will consider the reliability of the active load management, the number of interruptions, and the total amount of active load management. The detailed procedures used for calculating the PJM ALM Factor shall be set forth in the PJM Manuals. The ALM credit value for the individual Parties shall be calculated as follows: ALM credit = Megawatt Value of a Party’s ALM x PJM ALM Factor C. The Electric Distributor or LSE that establishes a contractual relationship (by contract or tariff rate) with a customer for ALM reductions is entitled to the PJM ALM credit for the customer, regardless of the customer’s energy supplier.
