For Projects involving less than thirty (30) installations, SWEPCO may aggregate the Projects for purposes of inspection, provided, however, that Project Sponsor shall not be penalized for the inspection failure rate of another project sponsor. This inspection shall be used to determine whether the Measures were installed and are capable of performing their intended function of producing Energy Savings and Peak Demand Savings. If SWEPCO reasonably determines that the Measures at the Project Site(s) have been installed, tested and inspected to the extent required by SWEPCO and found to be capable of providing Peak Demand Savings and Energy Savings in material compliance with the Contract Documents, the invoice will be approved as submitted. As set forth in the SOP Manual, a Load Factor cap governs the total payment allowed, based on the ratio between demand and energy savings from a Project. If SWEPCO is unable to inspect Measure installations at the Project Site, those Measures may be counted as failures. 4.3 The Project Sponsor’s progress towards completing the Project shall be determined independently by SWEPCO, who will evaluate the inspected, installed Measures on a measure-by-measure basis to calculate an adjustment factor for Energy Savings and incentives. This adjustment factor will consider the ratio of savings of the Measures that pass the inspection to the total incentive per Measure tagged for inspection on the invoice. The adjustment factor will then be applied to the entire invoice amount for payment. Failure of the Project Sponsor to timely complete or report a Project shall constitute an Event of Default, and may, in SWEPCO’s discretion, result in disqualification of the Project. As described in the SOP Manual, SWEPCO may withhold or deny payment for Measures installed at Project sites to the extent that customer identification information is not provided or is incorrectly reported on the invoice. 4.4 SWEPCO’S PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE PAYMENT(S) TO PROJECT SPONSOR IS EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY CONDITIONED UPON SWEPCO RECEIVING ALL REQUIRED NOTICES, SUBMITTALS AND MATERIALS FROM PROJECT SPONSOR WITHIN THE APPLICABLE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

Any Project with a Reservation Date of October 31, 2014 or later shall be completed by November 30, 2014, the submission end of a project. Please note that when funds have run out in the program, there is no guarantee that Utility will be able to pay incentives on non-submitted projects. It is the sponsor’s responsibility to monitor the program budget and their project sponsor budget to determine if there are ample funds before implementing installations. Implementation Period.
4.2 Within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an invoice, SWEPCO shall complete an inspection of a statistically significant sample of the Measure installations at the Project Site. For Projects involving less than thirty (30) installations, SWEPCO may aggregate the Projects for purposes of inspection, provided, however, that Project Sponsor shall not be penalized for the inspection failure rate of another project sponsor. This inspection shall be used to determine whether the Measures were installed and are capable of performing their intended function of producing Energy Savings and Peak Demand Savings. If SWEPCO reasonably determines that the Measures at the Project Site(s) have been installed, tested and inspected to the extent required by SWEPCO and found to be capable of providing Peak Demand Savings and Energy Savings in material compliance with the Contract Documents, the invoice will be approved as submitted. As set forth in the SOP Manual, a Load Factor cap governs the total payment allowed, based on the ratio between demand and energy savings from a Project. If SWEPCO is unable to inspect Measure installations at the Project Site, those Measures may be counted as failures.
4.3 The Project Sponsor’s progress towards completing the Project shall be determined independently by SWEPCO, who will evaluate the inspected, installed Measures on a measure-by-measure basis to calculate an adjustment factor for Energy Savings and incentives. This adjustment factor will consider the ratio of savings of the Measures that pass the inspection to the total incentive per Measure tagged for inspection on the invoice. The adjustment factor will then be applied to the entire invoice amount for payment. Failure of the Project Sponsor to timely complete or report a Project shall constitute an Event of Default, and may, in SWEPCO’s discretion, result in disqualification of the Project. As described in the SOP Manual, SWEPCO may withhold or deny payment for Measures installed at Project sites to the extent that customer identification information is not provided or is incorrectly reported on the invoice.
4.4 SWEPCO’S PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE PAYMENT(S) TO PROJECT SPONSOR IS EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY CONDITIONED UPON SWEPCO RECEIVING ALL REQUIRED NOTICES, SUBMITTALS AND MATERIALS FROM PROJECT SPONSOR WITHIN THE APPLICABLE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT. FAILURE BY PROJECT SPONSOR TO DELIVER ANY REQUIRED NOTICE, SUBMITTAL, OR MATERIAL WITHIN THE APPLICABLE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.
