Common use of Commissioning Procedure Clause in Contracts

Commissioning Procedure. 1. Wind Power Developer (WPD) shall give to CTU/PGCIL, State Nodal Agency (SNA), Concerned RLDC and SECI at least thirty (30) days’ final written notice, of the date on which it intends to synchronize the Project to the Grid System. The WPD shall be solely responsible for any delay or non-receipt of the notice by the concerned agencies, which may in turn affect the commissioning schedule of the Project. 2. Wind Power Developer shall ensure that the Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) have been installed and completed in all aspects and the Project is synchronized to the grid in order for it to be declared as being commissioned. The Project may be synchronized with the grid on WTG-basis. 3. Part Commissioning of Project would be considered subject to the condition that minimum capacity for acceptance of first part commissioning shall be at least 50 MW, without prejudice to the imposition of penalty, in terms of the PPA on the part which is not commissioned. The projects can further be commissioned in parts of at least 25 MW batch size; with last part could be the balance capacity. 4. Early Commissioning of a Project prior to the SCD is permitted on acceptance of power by SECI. In order to facilitate this, WPDs shall inform the concerned agencies and SECI well in advance regarding the date it intends to synchronize the Power Project to the Grid System. 5. Prior to being declared as being commissioned, the Project shall be inspected by the CEIG/CEI (as applicable) and all the approval for all the components, including the wind turbines, along with all annexures/attachments, such as approval of the CEA under Section 68 and Section 164 of the Electricity Act, shall be obtained by the WPD prior to be declared as fit for synchronization of the Project. 6. In line with CERC Order No. 1/14/2015-Reg.Aff.(FSDS-Proced.)/CERC dated 03.03.2017, WPD shall provide data telemetry at the WTG level to the concerned RLDC. Line of confirmation received from RLDC/CTU with regards to above is required Prior to visit for witnessing the commissioning activities. 7. No personnel shall be deputed from SECI for physical verification/ witnessing of the commissioning.
