Common use of Participation/Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Participation/Eligibility. Participant’s eligibility for participation in the Program is based upon following criteria: (a) If Participant is a residential customer, the Participant must have a residential building or dwelling at the Site of the Qualifying System. If Participant is a commercial or industrial customer of Distributor, the primary commercial or industrial purpose at the Site will not be electric generation; and (b) Participant must submit the design of its proposed Qualifying System, along with an interconnection application, including the proposed equipment specifications, for Distributor’s review prior to signing this Participation Agreement; and (c) The Qualifying System: i. must not have previously generated renewable energy for sale to TVA prior to October 1, 2012, unless the Qualifying System was part of the Generation Partners pilot; ii. must meet the requirements of the Green-e Energy National Standard as provided by the Center for Resource Solutions, or any successor entity; iii. must meet the Qualifying System requirements outlined in Guideline 4; iv. must have a minimum nameplate capacity equal to or greater than 0.50 kW; v. must comply with all requirements established by the Distributor for interconnecting a Qualifying System to its distribution system, including, without limitation, signing Distributor’s Interconnection Agreement and paying Distributor for any interconnection studies and other associated costs. Furthermore, the Qualifying System (including all interconnection-related equipment) must have been tested and listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory for continuous interactive operation with an electric distribution system in compliance with IEEE 1547 (Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems), IEEE 1547.2 (Standard Conformance Test Procedures for Equipment Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems), and UL 1741 (Inverters, Converters, and Controllers for use in Independent Power Systems) prior to Distributor signing the System Acceptance Form. Moreover, if an Applicant proposes using single-phase inverters in three-phase applications, the resultant interconnection must be designed such that all three phases of the inverter outputs respond together under all circumstances. If any of the three phases stop sourcing power, then the inverters on all three phases must stop sourcing power. This includes responses to abnormal power system events (whether they are single- phase or multi-phase in nature), inverter failure, and normal operation of the Program participating generation system. Furthermore, Distributor may require that an IEEE 1547 compliant three-phase inverter be used on all three-phase installations. The inverter must function such that any abnormal power system event, as defined by IEEE 1547, affecting any phase voltage or voltages results in generation ceasing on all three phases. A five-minute minimum delay time is required before the renewable generation equipment may reconnect to Distributor’s grid each time it disconnects as a result of an outage on the Distributor’s system or otherwise required by IEEE 1547; vi. must be properly designed, constructed, and installed, and the installer and manufacturer must provide evidence of the testing and compliance with the applicable requirements prior to Distributor signing the System Acceptance Form. All Qualifying Systems will be maintained and tested on an ongoing basis in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, and Distributor and TVA will have the right to obtain copies of the test results; and vii. must be manufactured (if a packaged system) and installed in compliance with all requirements of the latest edition of the National Electric Code (American National Standards Institute/National Fire Protection Association-70) prior to Distributor signing the System Acceptance Form; (d) All installations must be permitted as required by law, be certified by a licensed electrician, and pass any applicable code inspections prior to Distributor signing the System Acceptance Form; and (e) For safe operation, the Qualifying System and its associated facilities must have a manual, lockable, visible load break AC disconnect switch that is easily accessible by Distributor prior to Distributor signing the System Acceptance Form; and (f) The construction and installation of the Qualifying System must be completed, in compliance with the Interconnection Agreement requirements and the terms and conditions of this Participation Agreement, by the Deadline. If these terms and conditions are not met before the Deadline, Participant may not reapply for participation in the Program for one hundred eighty (180) Calendar Days from the date of TVA’s execution of the Participation Agreement in accordance with the then-current applicable Guidelines.
