Common use of Emergency Operating Procedures Clause in Contracts

Emergency Operating Procedures. Joint emergency procedures are essential due to the highly dependent nature of facilities under different authorities. The Parties are committed to reliable operation of the transmission system under normal conditions, and will work closely together during emergency situations that place the stability of the transmission system in jeopardy. (a) Curtailment of equivalent amounts of firm point-to-point transactions within both Parties; (b) Redispatching of generation within both Parties; and (c) Load shedding within both Parties. In situations where an actual IRL violation exists and the transmission system is currently, or for the next contingency would be, on the verge of imminent collapse, and there is not an existing Emergency Procedure or Operating Guide, the Parties will receive and carry out the instruction of the affected Party, or communicate the instruction to the affected entity within their own boundary, or utilize conference call capabilities to allow simultaneous coordination/communication between the Parties and the affected entity. No delay shall take place during the event, except in instances where the requested action will result in a more serious condition on the transmission system, or instances where, in the judgment of either Party, the requested action is imminently likely to endanger life or property. Financial considerations shall have no bearing on actions taken to prevent the collapse of the transmission system. All occurrences of this kind may be reviewed by either or both Parties after the fact. In a situation where a System Operating Limit (“SOL”) violation exists within the regions of the Parties, or for the next contingency would exist, the Parties will work together as necessary, following good utility practices, and take action in kind as required to address the situation. As the Reliability Coordinator for each respective region, each Party has the responsibility and authority to coordinate with the other Party and direct emergency action on the part of generation or transmission to protect the reliability of the network and shall do so if required to resolve emergency conditions in the other Party’s region.
