Common use of Capacity Demonstration Test Dates Clause in Contracts

Capacity Demonstration Test Dates. The 20-Day Demonstration shall commence at noon on a mutually agreed upon date which follows or is coincident with the Term Start Date and shall be completed no later than the Firm Operation Date, and shall extend for a total period of 20 consecutive non-holiday weekdays (the “20-Day Demonstration”). The Six-Hour Demonstration must be scheduled for a non-holiday weekday within the 20-Day Demonstration period. Concurrently with the selection of the commencement date for the 20-Day Demonstration, Seller shall select which Generating Units will be the Generating Units for the Capacity Demonstration Test, if applicable. This selection may not be changed for any reason during the Capacity Demonstration Test or the Capacity Demonstration Test will be repeated in its entirety. Buyer and Seller may each, upon three Business Days advance Notice, make up to two requests to reschedule the commencement date for either the 20-Day Demonstration or the Six-Hour Demonstration. The commencement date for the Six-Hour Demonstration may only be rescheduled to a different date within the 20-Day Demonstration, if applicable. Neither the 20-Day Demonstration nor a Six-Hour Demonstration may be rescheduled once it has commenced, except as set forth under Section 5 of this Exhibit C. 20-Day Demonstration. In order to pass the 20-Day Demonstration, the Generating Facility must achieve a Capacity Demonstration Factor of greater than or equal to 0.95. The Capacity Demonstration Factor is calculated as follows: CAPACITY DEMONSTRATION FACTOR = A / (B x C) Where A = The number of Capacity Measurement Intervals during the test period when the Demonstration Rate of Metered Energy equals or exceeds the Firm Contract Capacity specified in Section 1.02(d). B = The total number of hours during the 20 consecutive non-holiday weekday test period that begin at noon and end at 6:00 p.m. (i.e., 120 hours). C = The number of Capacity Measurement Intervals within each hour. Six-Hour Demonstration. For the Six-Hour Demonstration, Seller shall demonstrate the ability of the Generating Facility to Operate for a six consecutive hour period, starting at noon and ending at 6:00 p.m. (the “Six-Hour Demonstration”). The Generating Facility shall be deemed to have satisfied the Six-Hour Demonstration if the Power Output in each and every Metering Interval during the six-hour period equals or exceeds the Firm Contract Capacity set forth in Section 1.02(d).
