METERING Metering. Seller shall measure the amount of Facility Energy using the Facility Meter, the amount of Generating Facility Energy using the Generating Facility Meter, and the Charging Energy and Discharging Energy using the Storage Facility Meter; all of which will be subject to adjustment in accordance with applicable CAISO meter requirements and Prudent Operating Practices, including to account for Electrical Losses and Station Use. All meters will be operated pursuant to applicable CAISO-approved calculation methodologies and maintained as Seller’s cost. Subject to meeting any applicable CAISO requirements, the meters shall be programmed to adjust for Electrical Losses and Station Use in a manner subject to Buyer’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall obtain and maintain a single CAISO resource ID dedicated exclusively to the Generating Facility and a single CAISO resource ID dedicated exclusively to the Storage Facility. Seller shall not obtain additional CAISO resource IDs for the Generating Facility, (iii) provide that any other generating the Storage Facility, or energy storage facilities not included in the Facility but using Shared Facilities without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be included within unreasonably withheld. In addition, upon the Facility’s reasonable request of Xxxxx, Seller shall obtain one or more additional CAISO Resource resource IDs; and (iv) provide , provided that any curtailment out-of-pocket costs associated with obtaining such additional CAISO resource IDs incurred by Seller shall be reimbursed by Xxxxx.

Each meter shall be kept under seal, such seals to be broken only when the meters are to be tested, adjusted, modified or relocated. In the event Seller breaks a seal, Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as practicable. In addition, Seller hereby agrees to provide all meter data to Buyer in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and its Affiliates have discretion consents to allocate across generating or energy storage facilities using Buyer obtaining from CAISO the Shared Facilities shall not be allocated CAISO meter data directly relating to the Facility more than its pro rata portion of the total capacity of and all generating or energy storage facilities using the Shared Facilitiesinspection, testing and calibration data and reports.
