Coordinated Emergency Generation Redispatch Clause Samples
The Coordinated Emergency Generation Redispatch clause establishes procedures for adjusting electricity generation among multiple parties during emergency situations to maintain grid stability. In practice, this clause outlines how generators must respond to dispatch instructions from a system operator or coordinating authority, specifying the conditions under which generation output should be increased or decreased and the communication protocols to be followed. Its core function is to ensure a rapid, organized response to grid emergencies, thereby minimizing the risk of widespread outages and maintaining reliable power supply.
Coordinated Emergency Generation Redispatch. The Parties shall follow a security constrained, least-cost dispatch protocol in response to system emergencies, and the costs thereof shall be reflected in, and compensated through, relative energy prices values. However, in the event that costs not cognizable under energy prices are incurred, the Party within which the affected resources are located shall reimburse such resource for direct incremental cost, subject to inter-Party reimbursement in the event that the costs incurred by one Party were caused by a system emergency in the other Party. Additionally, in the absence of the need to coordinate congestion or address a system emergency, a Party shall be entitled to request that the other Party dispatch a generation unit, subject to the Parties’ agreement with respect to compensation for the dispatch.
Coordinated Emergency Generation Redispatch. The Parties shall follow a least-cost dispatch protocol in response to system emergencies that will mitigate or stabilize the system emergency in appropriate time to prevent IRL violation, and the costs thereof shall be reflected in, and compensated through, relative LMP values. However, in the event that costs not cognizable under LMP are incurred, the Party within which the affected resources are located shall reimburse such resource for direct incremental cost, subject to inter-RTO reimbursement in the event that the costs incurred by one Party were caused by a system emergency in the other Party.
