Regular Storage. A Supplying Party may store energy with any Reservoir Party to the extent that the Reservoir Party has space available in its reservoir(s). The Reservoir Party shall have discretion in the use of its storage space. A Reservoir Party receiving conflicting requests for storage space or return of stored energy shall also have discretion in determining how to meet the request(s) and, if spill occurs, whose energy was spilled. A Reservoir Party planning to displace stored energy shall notify the Supplying Party and shall endeavor to conserve the energy. Each Reservoir Party shall account for the energy it stores, spills, or returns in megawatt hours. To compute the energy equivalent in megawatt hours of water spilled, the Reservoir Party shall use the average conversion factor (megawatts per thousand cubic feet per second) in effect at the time the water was spilled. On demand, a Reservoir Party shall return to the Supplying Party any stored energy not purchased or spilled to the extent the Reservoir Party’s available hydroelectric-generating capacity at the reservoir exceeds the generating capacity required for higher priority purposes under subsection 9(h), Priorities on Use of Facilities for Power. When releasing water to return stored energy the Reservoir Party shall decrease the Supplying Party’s account for stored energy by the sum of the following quantities.
Regular Storage. If stored energy is spilled, the Receiving Party shall refund delivery charges to the Supplying Party pursuant to paragraph 14(f)(5) below.
