WHEREAS, Manila Electric Company (Meralco), current supplier of electricity to Cypress Manufacturing Co. Limited (CML), a Philippines branch of the Company, has informed CML that it expects a shortage of electricity power in 2010; and

WHEREAS, in order to avoid the potential consequences of said power shortage, and to negotiate a more favorable purchase price for CML’s electricity supply, CML intends to enter into the Memorandum of Agreement (with the Master Power Purchase and Supply Agreement attached as Annex C) with GNPower Ltd. Co. (GNP); and

WHEREAS, the Board believes it is in CML’s best interest and in the Company’s overall best interest to enter into said agreements with GNPower Ltd. Co. with the pertinent terms as follows:

Memorandum of Agreement: The purpose of the Memorandum of Agreement is to enable GNP secure funding for building the power generating plant. The Master Power Purchase and Supply Agreement is to enable GNP currently power purchase commitments upon the completion of the building of the power plant. GNP anticipates the completion of the power plant and the commencement of the sale of power between 2010 and 2012.

Key Terms of the Master Power Purchase and Supply Agreement:

• Term: 15 years beginning upon completion of the power generation facility. CML is obligated to take the electricity and make the contract payments for the full 15-year term.

• There are no up-front payments. Over the 15-year life of the contract, the total payments are projected to be $42M (at the 2010 rate) to $47M (assuming a 5%/yr increase in coal costs)

• Quantity: 35M KWh/year.

• Cost: The rate in 2010 is $0.078/KWh based on contracted purchase level. Amount includes $0.025 energy fee that fluctuates with fuel cost. Contract cost excludes transmission/distribution costs.

• Transferability: We are currently negotiating an assignment clause so CML may, with the consent of GNP (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign contract to a third party buyer.

• Spot Market Sale Option: CML can instruct GNP to sell any excess electricity into the spot market. Sale proceeds will be netted against CML’s commitment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that pursuant to applicable law, the undersigned, being all of the Directors of the Company, hereby consent to and approve the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement and the Master Power Purchase Agreement as attached hereto, by CML, with any changes deemed necessary by Company’s management.

The Minimum Quantity during the first and last Contract Year of a Delivery Period shall be adjusted pro rata depending on the date specified in the Delivery Period Commencement Date Notice. The Minimum Quantity, while stated as an amount of kilowatthours for each Contract Year of a Delivery Period, shall be subject to actual delivery pursuant to a schedule, updated at least annually, to be agreed between the Parties, which shall reflect an allocation for any planned outages of the Buyer’s facility as well as Seller’s Scheduled Outages and Unscheduled Outages and partial load operations throughout each Contract Year of a Delivery Period during which reduced or no deliveries will be available to the Buyer, and which schedule shall be approved by the relevant governmental authorities, including those entities having jurisdiction over the electricity market such as the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation, the Market Operator and the System Operator, and which by reference shall form an integral part of this Agreement.

ARTICLE TWO: OBLIGATIONS AND DELIVERIES

2.1 Seller’s and Buyer’s Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller shall, during the term of this Agreement, sell and deliver, or cause to be delivered, whether (at the Seller’s sole discretion) sourced from the Facility or from other electricity generators, and the Buyer shall purchase and receive, or cause to be received, the Minimum Quantity of the Product at the Delivery Point, and the Buyer shall pay the Seller the Contract Price. The Buyer shall be responsible for any Governmental Charges imposed on or associated with the Product at, before or after the Delivery Point, including the fuel utilized to generate the Product.

2.2 Scheduled Outages and Unscheduled Outages. The Seller is allowed Scheduled Outages not to exceed seven hundred twenty (720) Equivalent Hours for each Contract Year during which times reduced or no deliveries will be available to the Buyer. The Seller is likewise allowed Unscheduled Outages of five hundred four (504) Equivalent Hours for each Contract Year during which times reduced or no deliveries will be available to the Buyer. If the Seller exceeds the Equivalent Hours allowed for Unscheduled Outages in any Contract Year, it shall be permitted to credit any unutilized Equivalent Hours to Scheduled Outages. Conversely, if the Seller exceeds the Equivalent Hours allowed for Scheduled Outages in any Contract Year, it shall be permitted to credit any unutilized Equivalent Hours to Unscheduled Outages. Unutilized Equivalent Hours for either Scheduled Outages or Unscheduled Outages in any Contract Year cannot be carried forward to subsequent Contract Years.

7

During any Scheduled Outage or Unscheduled Outage the Seller, in consultation with the Buyer, shall use its best efforts to negotiate on behalf of the Buyer for the supply and delivery of the Product for a price as close as possible to the Contract Price with third parties (including the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market). If the Buyer agrees to the negotiated price, including WESM Charges, if any, and any applicable transaction and administrative charges for arranging this alternative supply, it shall take and pay for such quantity regardless of whether the price, including WESM Charges, if any, and any applicable transaction and administrative charges, is higher or lower than the Contract Price. The Buyer, however, has no obligation to agree to the price negotiated by the Seller and is permitted to procure its own supply of the Product during any Scheduled Outage or Unscheduled Outage. If the Seller, despite its best efforts, is unable to arrange for this alternative supply, it shall have no further liability to the Buyer for such quantity. Quantities of the Product purchased by the Buyer during any Scheduled Outage or Unscheduled Outage, regardless of whether such quantities were arranged by the Seller or the Buyer, shall not constitute part of the Minimum Quantity.

If during any Contract Year the total Equivalent Hours for both Scheduled Outages and Unscheduled Outages exceeds one thousand two hundred twenty-four (1,224) then, unless excused by Force Majeure, the Seller shall procure from third parties (including the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market) at its cost, and deliver the contracted quantities of the Product to the Buyer and the Buyer shall be obligated to pay only the Contract Price to the Seller for such quantities.

2.3 Transmission and Scheduling. The Seller shall arrange and be responsible for transmission service to the Delivery Point and shall Schedule or arrange for Scheduling services with the Transmission Utility and/or Distribution Utility, as the case may be, pursuant to a relevant Transmission Agreement and/or Distribution Agreement, as specified by the Parties, or in the absence thereof, in accordance with the practice of the Transmission Utility and/or Distribution Utility, as the case may be, to deliver the Product from the Delivery Point to the Receiving Point. The Buyer shall bear the cost of such transmission service from the Delivery Point up to the Receiving Point including the cost of any electric losses incurred in such transmission.

2.4 Force Majeure. To the extent either Party is prevented by Force Majeure from carrying out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party (the “Claiming Party”) gives notice and details of the Force Majeure to the other Party as soon as practicable, then the Claiming Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations herein (other than the obligation to make payments then due or becoming due with respect to performance prior to the Force Majeure). During the Force Majeure event, the non-Claiming Party shall likewise be relieved of its obligations to the Claiming Party, but only those obligations corresponding to the performance of the Claiming Party excused by such Force Majeure event.

The Claiming Party shall always attempt to remedy the Force Majeure with all reasonable dispatch. However, if the duration of any Force Majeure event exceeds or is expected by the Claiming Party to exceed 180 days, then the Parties shall meet and discuss any appropriate action required with the objective of maintaining, to the extent feasible, the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. If any Force Majeure exceeds or is expected by the Claiming

8

Party to exceed 360 days then this Agreement shall be terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agreement Termination Date shall be extended, day for day, for the duration of any Force Majeure event.

2.5 Transmission/Distribution Failures. If the Buyer is not able to take the Product from the Delivery Point, or receive the Product at the Receiving Point, for causes attributable to any failure by the Transmission Utility and/or Distribution Utility, as the case may be, to transmit the Product (other than as a result of a system-wide or grid-wide blackout or service interruption), such event shall not excuse the Buyer from paying the Contract Price for the quantity of the Product otherwise made available to the Buyer by the Seller. However, in such instances the Seller will exert its best efforts to cause a quantity of the Product, equal to the quantity of the Product not so taken or received by the Buyer, to be delivered to the Buyer before the Agreement Termination Date in accordance with a schedule to be agreed upon between the Seller and the Buyer. If the Seller is able to cause such quantity of the Product to be delivered, the Buyer shall not be required to pay the Contract Price for such Product upon actual delivery; provided, however, that if the cost of fuel for generating the Product at the time the Product was originally scheduled to be delivered to, but was not taken, or received by, the Buyer is lower than when the Product is actually delivered in accordance with this Section 2.5, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such difference in the cost of fuel. If the Seller is unable to cause such quantity to be delivered before the Agreement Termination Date, the Seller shall extend the term of the Agreement for as long as necessary to deliver such quantity.

Instead of redelivering the quantity, the Buyer may instruct the Seller, before the end of the Billing Period during which the delivery failure occurred, to credit the Contract Price for such quantity with any net proceeds from the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market actually received by the Seller for such quantity (“Net Proceeds”). If the Net Proceeds are less than the Contract Price for such quantity, the Buyer shall pay the Seller any deficiency as set forth in the invoice for the relevant Billing Period. If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Contract Price for such quantity, any excess shall be credited to the Buyer in the invoice for the relevant Billing Period.

2.6 Spot Market Sale Option. The Buyer may, upon proper notification to the Seller and in compliance with all Applicable Laws, instruct the Seller to sell into the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market in any Billing Period, on behalf of the Buyer, some or all of the Minimum Quantity in any Contract Year subject, at all times, to the Contracted Capacity and Minimum Capacity Factor as set forth in Schedule 1. The Buyer is obligated to pay to the Seller the Contract Price for such quantities, as set forth in Schedule 1, but any proceeds from such sales into the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market will be paid to the Buyer or, if retained by the Seller, netted against amounts owed by the Buyer to the Seller; provided, however, the Buyer shall be responsible for all WESM Charges related to such spot market sales. Any request by the Buyer to sell electricity into the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market will be combined with all similar requests from other buyers, as well as any market operations of the Seller, and, in the event that the total quantity offered to the market cannot be sold, all parties’ quantities shall be reduced pro rata. Before the commencement of any spot market sales, the Buyer and the Seller shall establish a mutually acceptable protocol for executing such sales and determine any charges by Seller for conducting such sales through the WESM on the Buyer’s behalf.

9

2.7 Regulatory Approvals. The obligations of the Seller to sell and deliver the Product, or cause the Product to be delivered, to the Buyer hereunder are subject to the Seller having obtained all required governmental approvals and permits including, without limitation, any required approvals from the ERC or the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, given the ongoing evolution of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market and regulations governing the electricity market, there may be circumstances that require the Parties to amend this Agreement. Both Buyer and Seller hereby agree to fully cooperate to implement such amendments, especially as they relate to full compliance with Applicable Laws.

ARTICLE THREE: EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

3.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall mean, with respect to the relevant Party (such Party being, in respect of the Event of Default, a “Defaulting Party” and the other Party being the “Non-Defaulting Party”), any of the following Buyer Events of Default or Seller Events of Default:

3.1.1 A “Buyer Event of Default” shall mean, with respect to the Buyer, the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

(a) the failure to make, when due, any payment to Seller required pursuant to this Agreement if such failure is not remedied within five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice for such payment;

(c) the failure to perform any material covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement if such failure is not remedied within five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice thereof;

(d) the Buyer consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Seller; and,

(e) the Buyer becomes Bankrupt or there occurs and is a continuation of (i) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event in respect of the Buyer under one or more agreements or instruments, individually or collectively, relating to indebtedness for borrowed money in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000.00, which results in such indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, immediately due

10

and payable or (ii) a default by the Buyer in making on the due date therefore one or more payments, individually or collectively, in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000.00.

3.1.2 A “Seller Event of Default” shall mean, with respect to the Seller, the occurrence of one or more of the following:

(d) the Seller consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.

3.2 Notice of Default. The Non-Defaulting Party may deliver a notice to the Defaulting Party specifying in reasonable detail the relevant Event of Default (the “Notice of Default”). If, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Notice of Default by the Defaulting Party, the Event of Default has not been remedied, the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement and pursue any remedy available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity. If an Event of Default with respect to a Defaulting Party shall have occurred and be continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right to (i) designate a day, no earlier than the day such notice is effective and no later than thirty (30) days after such notice is effective, as an early termination date (“Early Termination Date”) to accelerate all amounts owing between the Parties and to liquidate and terminate this Agreement, (ii) withhold any payments due to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and (iii) suspend performance.

3.3 Replacement Contract. If this Agreement is terminated due to a Buyer Event of Default, the Seller shall use its best efforts to secure a contract or series of contracts (each a “Replacement Contract”) with other third parties with a view to substituting a buyer or buyers for all or a portion of the remaining term of this Agreement for the Minimum Quantity of the Product the Buyer is obligated to purchase on terms as comparable as possible to this Agreement.

11

If the Seller is able to enter into such Replacement Contract(s), the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the sum of (i) the positive difference, if any, of the remaining gross receipts from the Capacity Fees in this Agreement less the comparable gross receipts from the Capacity Fees in the Replacement Contract(s), and (ii) the positive difference, if any, of the remaining total of the Minimum Quantity of the Product stated in this Agreement less the total of the Minimum Quantity of the Product stated in the Replacement Contract(s), multiplied by the highest Energy Fee over the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Early Termination Date (the “Replacement Contract Payment”); provided, however, if the Seller is unable to enter into any Replacement Contract before the Early Termination Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the total Contract Price for the remaining term of this Agreement calculated using the highest Capacity Fee and highest Energy Fee paid by the Buyer over the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Early Termination Date .

The relevant period for the purposes of the calculation in this Section 3.3 shall be from the date the Event of Default occurred to the Agreement Termination Date.

3.4 Net Out. The Non-Defaulting Party may net out any or all amounts due to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement against all amounts that are due to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement, so that all such amounts shall be netted out to a single liquidated amount (the “Termination Payment”) payable by one Party to the other.

3.5 Notice of Payment of Termination Payment. As soon as practicable after a liquidation, notice shall be given by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party of the amount of the Termination Payment and whether the Termination Payment is due to or due from the Non-Defaulting Party. The notice shall include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. The Termination Payment shall be made by the Party that owes it within two (2) Business Days after such notice is effective.

3.6 Disputes With Respect to Termination Payment.

ARTICLE FOUR: PAYMENT

4.1 Billing Period. The calendar month shall be the standard period for all payments under this Agreement (other than a Termination Payment). The Seller shall make the necessary arrangements with the Distribution Utility in order to incorporate the Contract Price into the monthly xxxxxxxx of the Distribution Utility to the Buyer.

4.2 Timeliness of Payment. All invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with the Distribution Utility’s invoice instructions. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Interest Rate, such interest to be calculated from, and including, the due date to, but excluding, the date the delinquent amount is paid in full. In addition, the Buyer acknowledges that in the event the Buyer fails to pay in full the amounts due to be paid by it in accordance with the Distribution Utility’s invoice instructions, the Distribution Utility may, at the instruction of the Seller, cause a disconnection in the supply of electricity to the Buyer until all amounts due are paid in full.

4.3 Seller Direct Billing. In the event the Seller is unable to make the necessary arrangements with the Distribution Utility in accordance with Section 4.1 above, the Seller may directly xxxx the Buyer for the Contract Price in accordance with the following procedure:

(a) Unless otherwise specifically agreed upon by the Parties, the calendar month shall be the standard period for all payments under this Agreement (other than a Termination Payment). As soon as practicable after the end of each month, the Seller will render to the Buyer an invoice for the payment obligations incurred hereunder during the preceding month.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with the Seller’s invoice instructions on or before the tenth (10th) day after receipt of the invoice or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day. The Buyer will make payments by electronic funds transfer, or by other mutually agreed alternative method, to the account designated by the Seller. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Interest Rate, such interest to be calculated from, and including, the due date to, but excluding, the date the delinquent amount is paid in full. In addition, the Buyer acknowledges that in the event the Buyer fails to pay in full the amounts due to be paid by it in accordance with the Seller’s invoice, the Transmission Utility and/or Distribution Utility, as the case may be, may, at the instructions of the Seller, cause a disconnection in the supply of electricity to the Buyer until all amounts due are paid in full.

13

option of paying the Contract Price set out in the relevant invoice from the Distribution Utility, under Section 4.1, or from the Seller, under Section 4.3, in Pesos. If, in the event the Buyer makes any payment in Pesos, such payment, when converted into Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date such payment is actually received by the Seller, does not exactly equal the amount due under the terms of this Agreement, then (i) the Buyer shall be liable to pay the Seller the amount of any resulting underpayment, which amount of underpayment may, at the Seller’s option, be included in subsequent invoices to the Buyer and (ii) the Seller shall be liable to pay the Buyer the amount of any resulting overpayment, which amount of overpayment shall be included, as a credit, in subsequent invoices to the Buyer. For the purpose of this Section 4.4, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Seller is able, on the relevant date, to purchase Dollars with Pesos, which rate shall not be less than the average conversion rate for Pesos to Dollars posted by the three largest (by combined capital and surplus) commercial banks in the Republic of the Philippines, and which shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange.

4.5 Other Billing Procedures. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, given the ongoing evolution of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, there may be more desirable and efficient billing procedures established in the future. Both Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate to implement such procedures if they are found to be mutually beneficial.

TO THE EXTENT ANY DAMAGES REQUIRED TO BE PAID HEREUNDER ARE LIQUIDATED, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO

14

DETERMINE, OR OTHERWISE OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE REMEDY IS INCONVENIENT AND THE DAMAGES CALCULATED HEREUNDER CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE HARM OR LOSS.

ARTICLE SIX: GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES AND WESM CHARGES

6.1 Cooperation. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of and to administer this Agreement in accordance with the intent of the Parties to minimize all taxes and charges, so long as neither Party is materially adversely affected by such efforts and provided the same is not contrary to law.

6.2 Governmental Charges. All value added taxes, sales taxes, goods and services taxes, excise taxes, import duties, stamp taxes and similar taxes imposed by any government authority (“Governmental Charges”) on or with respect to the Product, including taxes on fuel purchased by the Seller to generate electricity pursuant to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be for the account of the Buyer. The Seller’s own income taxes, property taxes and local business taxes are for its account. In the event the Seller is required by Applicable Laws to remit or pay any such Governmental Charges, such amounts will be set forth in the invoice for the next subsequent Billing Period and shall be due and payable by the Buyer according to the provisions of Article Four.

6.3 Governmental Charges as of the Effective Date. The Governmental Charges that are included in the Contract Price as of the Effective Date are:

6.3.1 Excise Tax of US$0.20 per ton of fuel (coal).

6.3.2 Import Duty of 7.0% of the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) price of fuel (coal)

Any changes to these Governmental Charges, upward or downward, or the imposition of additional Governmental Charges will affect the Contract Price invoiced to the Buyer.

6.4 WESM Charges. All line rental charges, market fees and other similar fees imposed by the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (“WESM Charges”) on or with respect to the Product shall be for the account of the Buyer. WESM Charges have not been finalized and are not yet included in the Contract Price therefore any subsequent imposition of WESM Charges will increase the Contract Price invoiced to the Buyer.

ARTICLE SEVEN: MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties from the Effective Date up to, and including, the Agreement Termination Date unless otherwise earlier terminated by either Party in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination shall not affect or excuse the performance of either Party under any provision of this Agreement that by its terms survives any such termination. If the Delivery Period Expiration Date is earlier than the Agreement Termination Date, then the Seller, upon no less than 180 days’ notice to the Buyer, shall extend the Delivery Period for 60 months, provided, however, (a) if the Minimum Quantity in the Contract Year immediately preceding the notice to the Buyer exceeded

15

50% of the Buyer’s total electricity consumption for such period, then the Buyer may elect to reduce the Minimum Quantity to such 50% level for the next 60 month Delivery Period, and (b) if the Buyer and Seller agree that the quantity, type and terms of electricity procured by the Buyer from or through the Distribution Utility is comparable to the Product, and the average of the Contract Price over the Contract Year immediately preceding the notice to the Buyer is higher than the average price for such electricity, then the Seller shall reduce its price for the next 60 month Delivery Period to the price for such comparable electricity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer is obligated by this Agreement to purchase electric capacity and energy from the Seller for 180 months from the date specified in the Delivery Period Commencement Notice subject only to possible adjustments to the Contract Price and Minimum Quantity specified in this Section 7.1 and Schedule 1.

The term “including” when used in

17

this Agreement shall be by way of example only and shall not be considered in any way to be in limitation. The headings used herein are for convenience and reference purposes only.

If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any statement, the necessary adjustments in such statement and the payments thereof will be made promptly and shall bear interest calculated at the Interest Rate from the date the overpayment or underpayment was made until paid; provided, however, that no adjustment for any statement or payment will be made unless objection to the accuracy thereof was made prior to the lapse of twelve (12) months from the rendition thereof, and thereafter any objection shall be deemed waived.

SCHEDULE 2

Capacity Factor Computation

Capacity Factor (CF) =		Q
		CC * (HT - EHSO - EHUO)

Where:

Q		=		the actual quantity of the Product made available by the Seller to be purchased and received by the Buyer at the Delivery Point in any Billing Period
CC		=		Contracted Capacity, in kW, as set forth in Schedule 1
HT		=		Total number of hours in such Billing Period
EHSO		=		the sum of the duration, in Equivalent Hours, of Scheduled Outages in such Billing Period
EHUO		=		the sum of the duration, in Equivalent Hours, of Unscheduled Outages in such Billing Period

CAPACITY FACTOR SAMPLE CALCULATION #1

Buyer:		Purchases the full quantity scheduled for the Billing Period
Seller:		Produces at its full availability assuming normal outage hours
Q		=		5,000,000kWh
CC		=		10,000kW
HT		=		720hours
EHSO		=		40hours
EHUO		=		61hours
CF		=		5,000,000kWh
				10,000kW * (720hrs – 40hrs – 61hrs)
		=		5,000,000kWh
				6,190,000kWh
		=		80.78%

24

CAPACITY FACTOR SAMPLE CALCULATION #2
Buyer:		Purchases LESS than the full quantity scheduled for the Billing Period
Seller:		Produces at its full availability assuming normal outage hours
Q		=		4,000,000kWh
CC		=		10,000kW
HT		=		720hours
EHSO		=		40hours
EHUO		=		61hours
CF		=		4,000,000kWh
				10,000kW * (720hrs – 40hrs – 61hrs)
		=		4,000,000kWh
				6,190,000kWh
		=		64.62%
CAPACITY FACTOR SAMPLE CALCULATION #3
Buyer:		Purchases the full quantity scheduled for the Billing Period
Seller:		Produces at LESS than full availability because of more outage hours
Q		=		5,000,000kWh
CC		=		10,000kW
HT		=		720hours
EHSO		=		100hours
EHUO		=		120hours
CF		=		5,000,000kWh
				10,000kW * (720hrs – 100hrs – 120hrs)
		=		5,000,000kWh
				5,000,000kWh
		=		100.00%

CF		=		4,000,000kWh
				10,000kW * (720hrs – 100hrs – 120hrs)
		=		4,000,000kWh
				5,000,000kWh
		=		80.00%
