Repetition factor. A repetition factor is also added to the basic amounts of reduction, which means that the basic amounts reduction are increasing if the same error occurs several times within the same quarter. Figure 2: Repetition factor Number of repeated errors Repetition factor 1-3 x 100% 4-5 x 150% > 5 x 200% For example, service interruptions on the pipelines of the wastewater treatment plant (fault no. 6 with a basic reduction of DKK 2,000 per hour and a time limit for remedy of 2 hours) will result in the following reductions: • E.g. fault no. 6 occurs 3 times and are remedied in 3 hours all 3 times (overrun of 3x1 hour): Fault 1: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 Fault 2: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 Fault 3: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 • E.g. fault no. 6 occurs 6 times and are remedied in 3 hours all 3 times (overrun of 6x1 hour): Fault 1: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 Fault 2: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 Fault 3: 100% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 2,000 Fault 4: 150% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 3,000 Fault 5: 150% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 3,000 Fault 6: 200% x DKK 2,000 per hour x 1 hour = DKK 4,000 It should be noted that both the remedy factor and the repetition factor can be active at the same time. Please see supplement 3.02 of the Payment Mechanism for specific examples of the counting of faults and calculation of the amount of the reduction. Likewise, supplement 3.02 contains a specific example where both the remedy factor and the repetition factor have an effect.
