Common use of Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy Clause in Contracts

Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy. 4.4.1 The SPD will declare the CUF of the project and will be allowed to revise the same once within first year after COD of the project. Thereafter, the CUF for the Project shall remain unchanged for the entire term of the PPA. The declared annual CUF shall in no case be less than 17%. It shall be the responsibility of the SPD, entirely at its cost and expense to install such number of Solar panels and associated infrastructure(like project equipment)as may be necessary to achieve the required CUF, and for this purpose SPD shall make its own study and investigation of the GHI and other factors prevalent in the area which have implication on the quantum of generation. Further, arrangement of extra land for such installation shall be intimated to MSPDCL in advance and MSPDCL shall have to reply for the same in 7 days in the best interest of the project generation. However,non- availability of land shall not absolve SPD from his obligations under the PPA. SPD shall maintain generation so as to achieve annual CUF within + 10% and -15% of the declared value till the end of 10 years from COD, subject to the annual CUF remaining minimum of 15%, and within +10% and -20% of the declared value of the annual CUF thereafter till the end of the PPA duration of 25 years. The lower limit will, however, be relaxable by MSPDCL to the extent of non-availability of grid for evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPD. The annual CUF will be calculated every Contract Year. The compensation due to shortfall in generation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be equal to the compensation payable (including equivalent amount of Electricity purchased from the grid for meeting load demand due to short fall in solar power) by the buying Entity, which shall ensure that the buying Entity is offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and supply of power under the PPA, subject to a minimum of 50% (fifty per cent) of the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff. The amount, being equal to the compensation payable, by the buying Entity for not meeting load requirements is only a measure of damage. It shall not be construed that the compensation is payable by SPD only if the buying Entity are required to pay compensation for such not meeting of load requirements or that the buying Entity or the SPD shall be required to prove or establish such payment of compensation for not meeting the load. SPD shall agree that the methodology specified herein above for calculation of liquidated damages payable by the SPD for shortfall in generation is a genuine and accurate pre-estimation of the actual loss that will be suffered by buying Entity. SPD shall further acknowledge that a breach of any of the obligations contained herein result in injuries and that the amount of the liquidated damages or the method of calculating the liquidated damages specified in this document is a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the damages that may be suffered by buying Entity in each case specified under this Agreement. However, this compensation shall not be applicable in events of Force Majeure identified under the PPA with MSPDCL, affecting supply of power by the SPD to the Buying Entity. 4.4.2 Any excess generation over and above 10% of declared annual CUF may be purchased by MSPDCL at a fixed tariff of 75% (seventy-five percent) of the PPA tariff. However, the SPD shall inform at least 30 days in advance of such excess generation to buying Entity, to enable buying Entity to take necessary actions for the acceptance of this excess generated energy. Buying Entity shall be required to intimate its approval/refusal to the SPD, for buying such excess generation not later than 15days (No response beyond 15days shall be construed as refusal by Buying Entity) of receiving the above offer from the SPD. While the SPD would be free to install DC solar field as per his design of required output, including his requirement of auxiliary consumption. In case at any point of time, the peak of capacity reached is higher than the rated capacity and causes disturbance in the system at the point where power is injected, the SPD will have to forego the excess generation and reduce the output to the rated capacity to ensure compliance with grid requirement. Any energy produced and flowing into the grid before Scheduled Commissioning Date shall not be at the cost of MSPDCL. MSPDCL may agree to buy such power at a tariff as agreed to between MSPDCL and SPD, provided the MSPDCL consents for purchase of such power.

However, the amount of shortfall in generation shall be adjusted as per methodology adopted by SECI in consultation with MNRE,on account of non-availability of grid for power evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPDSPD and / or occurrence of abnormally low Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) year (i.e. if the actual global solar irradiance in the year under consideration is less than 50% of average values of two (2) years of annual GHI as available from the nearest IMD/SRRA stations). The annual CUF will be calculated every Contract Year. The This compensation due to shortfall in generation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be equal to the compensation payable (including equivalent amount of Electricity purchased from the grid for meeting load demand due to short fall in solar powerRECs) by the buying EntityBuying Utilities towards non-meeting of RPOs, which shall ensure that the buying Entity if such compensation is offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and supply of power under the PPA, subject to a minimum of 50% (fifty per cent) of the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff. The amount, being equal to the compensation payable, ordered by the buying Entity for not meeting load requirements is only a measure of damage. It shall not be construed that the compensation is payable by SPD only if the buying Entity are required to pay compensation for such not meeting of load requirements or that the buying Entity or the SPD shall be required to prove or establish such payment of compensation for not meeting the load. SPD shall agree that the methodology specified herein above for calculation of liquidated damages payable by the SPD for shortfall in generation is a genuine and accurate pre-estimation of the actual loss that will be suffered by buying Entity.

However, this compensation shall not be applicable in events of Force Majeure identified under the PPA with MSPDCL, SECI affecting supply of solar power by SPD. For avoidance of any doubt, it is clarified that the extent of adjustment in CUF in case of non-availability of grid for evacuation which is beyond the control of SPD and / or abnormally low annual Global Horizontal Irradiance year and /or force majeure shall not qualify for revenue billing. Moreover, in case annual GHI is equal to or more than 50% of average value of two (2) years of annual GHI as available from the Buying Entitynearest IMD/SRRA stations, no adjustment shall be made in the annual CUF on account abnormally low annual GHI year. 4.4.2 Any Notwithstanding Article 4.4.1, any excess generation over and above 10% of declared annual CUF may will be purchased by MSPDCL SECI at a fixed tariff of 75% (seventy-five percent) of the PPA tariff. Howeveras per Article 9.4, the SPD shall inform at least 30 days in advance provided SECI is able to get any buyer for sale of such excess generation to buying Entity, to enable buying Entity to take necessary actions for the acceptance of this excess generated energy. Buying Entity shall be required to intimate its approval/refusal to the SPD, for buying such excess generation not later than 15days (No response beyond 15days shall be construed as refusal by Buying Entity) of receiving the above offer from the SPDgeneration. While the SPD would be free to install DC solar field as per his design of required output, including his requirement of auxiliary consumption, he will not be allowed to sell any excess power to any other entity other than SECI (unless refused by SECI). In However, in case at any point of time, the peak of capacity reached is higher than the rated capacity and causes disturbance in the system at the point where power is injected, the SPD developer will have to forego the excess generation and reduce the output to the rated capacity to ensure compliance with grid requirement. Any energy produced and flowing into the grid before Scheduled Commissioning Date shall not be at the cost of MSPDCL.
