COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT. An Interval Meter is required for participation in the Program. If at the time of enrollment on the DR Portal a Customer is not billed by the Company using an Interval Meter, then, as between Applicant and the Company, Applicant shall arrange at Applicant’s cost and expense (net of any discount or rebates as may be available) for such Customer to have an Interval Meter furnished and installed, and also arrange for the necessary telecommunications service to enable communications with the Company. The Company shall support meter upgrades consistent with the Company’s rules, requirements and process more particularly described as part of the Company’s Meter Upgrade Manual available on the Company’s website, and as may be updated and amended from time to time by the Company. If at the time of enrollment on the DR Portal a Customer is not billed by the Company using an Interval Meter, then the Interval Meter (with telecommunications) must be in place by the time that the Company has to determine Applicant’s performance in providing Load Relief in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including with regard to the calculation of Reservation Payments and Performance Payments. If communications with the Company as described above are not established by the time that Reservation Payments are calculated by the Company, then the Customer account will be assigned combined values of Load Relief via Curtailment (kW) and Load Relief via Generation (kW) of 0 kW for all Events during the Capability Period where data was unavailable to calculate Event Performance Factors. Also, if insufficient data are available after communications are established for calculating performance as a result of previously unavailable communications, then combined values of Load Relief via Curtailment (kW) and Load Relief via Generation (kW) of 0 kW will be assigned for all Events during the Capability Period where data was unavailable to calculate Event Performance Factors. If a Customer to be upgraded to an Interval Meter does not already have an AMI Meter or a communicating hourly pricing meter, then requests for the Company to install an Interval Meter must be made at least 21 business days before April 1st in order to ensure that the Interval Meter is installed prior to the Customer Enrollment Deadline. If the foregoing request is made timely, then the Company will install the Interval Meter within 21 business days of the later of the Company’s receipt of Applicant’s p...
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT. The Applicant shall at the Applicant’s own cost and expense install communications systems and equipment with respect to a Project i) to enable the Company to monitor remotely the status of a Project at all times over the contract term on an aggregate and individual unit basis, and which permits the Company to have real time information access to Project operations, including the ability to measure the real time charge and discharge of the ESS unit(s) at intervals of time of not greater than fifteen (15) minutes between each measurement and ii) which is otherwise necessary to implement and respond to Con Xxxxxx’s dispatch instruction. Such communications systems and equipment must be installed and operational prior to any Operational Date for a Project. If during the term of this Agreement Con Edison implements an upgraded communication system, including such as one that allows Con Edison to exercise greater monitoring or more efficient dispatch of a Project, then the Applicant may be required to upgrade the Applicant’s systems to enable interface with Con Edison’s upgraded communication system. In such events, at the Applicant’s request, at Con Xxxxxx’s sole discretion, Con Edison may review and may agree to contribute financially to the Applicant’s communication system upgrades. If Con Xxxxxx declines to contribute financially to the Applicant’s communication upgrades to the Applicant’s reasonable satisfaction, then the Applicant may elect hereunder to choose to not make upgrades, and the Applicant and Con Xxxxxx hereby agree to work together reasonably to identify appropriate alternatives.

Such communications systems and equipment must be installed and operational prior to any Operational Date for a Project. If during the term of this Agreement Con Edison develops Con Edison’s own system that allows Con Edison to exercise greater monitoring or more efficient dispatch of a Project, then Applicant will provide a reasonable cost estimate for Applicant’s systems to upgrade its equipment and enable interface with Con Edison’s system. Con Edison will review and may agree to pay communication system upgrades deemed reasonable. If Con Edison declines to pay for communication upgrades, then Applicant is not required to make upgrades and Con Edison agrees to cooperate with Applicant in identifying appropriate alternatives. EXCLUSION FROM FUTURE PROGRAMS: Applicant shall not be eligible to participate in future Con Edison or other programs if such programs interfere with Con Edison’s ability to dispatch fully the ESS solution in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
