Common use of Limitations on ISO Operating Orders Clause in Contracts

Limitations on ISO Operating Orders. The ISO will not knowingly issue an operating order that: (1) requires the Participating Generator to reduce its Generation below the delineated minimum operating limit, other than in a System Emergency; (2) conflicts with operating instructions provided by the Participating Generator; or (3) results in damage to the Participating Generator’s equipment, provided that any such equipment limitation has been provided to the ISO and incorporated in the Participating Generator’s operating instructions to the ISO. If the Participating Generator: (1) receives a Final Schedule which requires operation below the minimum operating limit, and (2) deviates from that Final Schedule to continue to operate at the minimum operating limit, it will not be subject to any penalties or sanctions as a result of operating at the minimum operating limit. The Participating Generator’s consequences for deviating from Final Schedules in real-time will be governed by the ISO Tariff.
