Commercial Operation (i) On or before December 31, 2021, Interconnection Customer must demonstrate commercial operation of all generating units. Demonstrating commercial operation includes achieving Initial Operation in accordance with Section 1.4 of Appendix 2 to this ISA and making commercial sales or use of energy, as well as, if applicable, obtaining capacity qualification in accordance with the requirements of the Reliability Assurance Agreement Among Load Serving Entities in the PJM Region.
Commercial Operation Date 6.4.1 The SPV shall ensure that the Project Commercial Operation Date is achieved on or prior to the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date. The SPV shall provide a written notice to MSEDCL at least 30 (thirty) days in advance intimating MSEDCL of the proposed date on which the Commercial Operation Date of a Unit or the Project is proposed to be achieved.
6.4.2 If the Commercial Operation Date for the Units having a capacity equivalent to at least 75% (seventy five percent) of the Contracted Capacity is achieved before the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then all Units in respect of which the Commercial Operation Date has been achieved prior to the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date would be eligible for incentives as follows:
(a) the Unit(s) injecting energy at 11 kV /22 kV shall be given an incentive of Rs. 0.25/ kWh; and
(b) the Unit(s) injecting energy at 33 kV shall be given an incentive of Rs. 0.15/ kWh, for the power sold to MSEDCL for the first 3 (three) years from the Commercial Operation Date. To receive such incentives from MSAPL, which shall be over and above the Tariff, the SPV shall follow the process agreed to by the SPV under the Implementation Agreement.
6.4.3 It is hereby clarified that the aforementioned incentive shall not be available: (i) in respect of any Unit if the Commercial Operation Date for such Unit has not been achieved prior to the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date; and (ii) if the aggregate capacity of the Units for which the Commercial Operation Date has been achieved prior to Scheduled Commercial Operation Date is less than 75% (seventy five percent) of the Contracted Capacity.
6.4.4 In the event that Commercial Operation Date for any of the Units is achieved after the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, the SPV shall be liable to pay Liquidated Damages as per the provisions set out below.
6.4.5 Without prejudice to any other rights of MSEDCL under this PPA, in case one or more Units of the SPV are unable to achieve Commercial Operation Date within a period of 2 (two) months from the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, the capacity of such Units shall be annulled, and the Contracted Capacity shall be reduced to that extent. For Illustration: The Project has a Contracted Capacity of 100 MW and comprises of 10 Units of 10 MW each. If at the end of the aforementioned period of 14 (fourteen) months from the Effective Date, the SPV has achieved Commissioning for only 8 out of 10 Units, then the Contracted Capacity of the Project will stand reduced for the capacity of the 2 Units which have not been Commissioned, i.e. the Contracted Capacity will be 80 (100 (original Contracted Capacity)) – 10 (capacity of each Unit)*2 (number of Units not Commissioned).
Termination Conditions Such license shall not be terminated or its exploitation enjoined, until and unless: (i) Hitachi has committed a material breach of its obligations under this IP License Agreement, Opto-Device has given written notice of such breach to Hitachi and such breach remains uncured after the Cure Period, or, in the case of a breach, which cannot be cured within such Cure Period, Hitachi has not instituted within such Cure Period steps necessary to remedy the default and/or thereafter has not diligently pursued the same to completion; or (ii) such a material breach is incurable. In the event the breach is a curable breach that cannot be cured within the Cure Period but with respect to which Hitachi has instituted steps necessary to remedy the default and is thereafter diligently pursuing such cure, both parties shall negotiate to determine whether further pursuit of such cure is reasonable.
