31
acceptance of the Parties. The remaining one-half of the
Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Demand shall be equivalent
to this mutually accepted projection and shall be considered
fixed and Virginia Power shall provide the balance of the
Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Demand pursuant to
Section 8.01(a)(i) regardless of the actual Old Dominion
Monthly Supplemental Demand in calendar year 2002.
(iii) For calendar year 2002, if Virginia Power
has provided the notice described in Section 8.01(a)(ii),
Old Dominion shall purchase capacity from an Alternate

Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII of the Agreement, Virginia
Power agrees to provide the Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Demand in the
amounts required by Old Dominion to serve its present and future demands except
for such increases in demands which may arise from an undertaking by Old
Dominion, or one or more of the Old Dominion Members, to serve (1) a source of
demand outside the area in which Virginia Power provides requirements service at
wholesale or retail as of the Effective Date or (2) any additional load which is
substantially different from the size and type of load included by Virginia
Power in its system planning and which, if served, (i) would compel an
enlargement of Virginia Power's generation facilities not otherwise included by
Virginia Power in its system planning or (ii) would impair Virginia Power's
ability to render reasonably adequate service to its other retail and wholesale
customers. However, a new customer imposing a load in excess of 100 megawatts
shall not be defined as normally expected load growth unless sufficient notice
shall have been provided to Virginia Power. Furthermore,
33
increases in load occurring after the Effective Date resulting from mergers
between Old Dominion Members and entities that are not Old Dominion Members or
acquisitions of new wholesale customers by Old Dominion or Old Dominion Members
shall not be defined as normally expected load growth.
(c) Reductions in Supplemental Demand. Old Dominion's
purchases of supplemental demand shall be reduced by the amount of Old Dominion
Monthly Accredited Firm Capacity and Old Dominion Monthly Accredited Non-firm
Capacity obtained by Old Dominion, which for any period shall be equal to the

Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy less any Excluded
Supplemental Energy, to the extent that Virginia Power
supplies supplemental capacity.
(ii) Old Dominion shall be entitled to displace up to
two-thirds of the annual Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental
Energy requirements for calendar year 1998 by obtaining such
energy from an Alternate Power Source. Effective January 1,
1999, Old Dominion shall be entitled to displace all or any
portion of its annual purchases of Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Energy requirements
34
from Virginia Power by obtaining such energy from an Alternate
Power Source. Such displaced energy shall be deemed
Displacement Supplemental Energy.
(iii) From the Effective Date forward, delivery of
any Displacement Supplemental Energy will be in
accordance with the schedules provided by Old Dominion
or its power suppliers to Virginia Power and pursuant to
Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of this Agreement and the Transmission
Service Agreement.
(iv) From the Effective Date through August 31, 2005,
whenever Old Dominion obtains Excluded Supplemental Capacity,
it also shall be responsible for obtaining all of the
energy associated with such Excluded Supplemental
Capacity. Such energy shall be deemed Excluded
Supplemental Energy.
(v) Prior to October 1, 2000, Old Dominion shall
provide to Virginia Power a projection of the remaining
one-half of the Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy for
each month of calendar year 2002. The Parties shall review
Old Dominion's projection, and the projection of the remaining
one-half of the Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy shall
be subject to the mutual acceptance of the Parties. The
remaining one-half of the Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental
Energy shall be equivalent to this mutually accepted
projection and shall be considered fixed and Virginia Power
shall provide the balance of the Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Energy pursuant to 8.01(d)(i) regardless of the
actual Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy in calendar
year 2002.
(vi) The calculation to determine Old Dominion
Monthly Supplemental Energy shall be as set forth in Appendix
H, Section V.
8.02 Charges for Purchases By Old Dominion Pursuant to
Section 8.01.
35
(a) Supplemental Energy.
(i) Through December 31, 2000, for purchases by Old
Dominion of Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy from
Virginia Power pursuant to Section 8.01(d), Old Dominion
shall pay Virginia Power a Monthly Supplemental Energy Charge
based on Virginia Power's average system energy cost, less
North Xxxx energy cost, as set forth initially in Appendix G,
Sections III.A. and VI.
(ii) Commencing January 1, 2001, for purchases by Old
Dominion of Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Energy from
Virginia Power pursuant to Section 8.01(d), Old Dominion shall
pay Virginia Power at rates, set by Virginia Power, that are
based on the projected cost of energy from its combined cycle
and peaking units subject to an annual true-up as set forth in
Appendix G, Section III.B. The generating units to be
included in the determination of the Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Energy cost during this period shall be agreed to
by the Parties. Selection of the generating units and the
appropriate rate calculation will be finalized on or before
October 1 of each year for the following calendar year, as set
forth in Appendix G, Section III.B.
(b) Supplemental Demand.
(i) Old Dominion shall pay Virginia Power for Old
Dominion Monthly Supplemental Demand purchased, exclusive of
Excluded Supplemental Capacity, pursuant to Section 8.01(a) at
the rates set forth in Appendix G, Section I.
(ii) For the capacity defined in Section 8.01(a)(ii),
the maximum price Old Dominion shall pay to Virginia Power for
capacity to serve such Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental
Demand shall be the Market Price for wholesale
36
capacity at that time. As an incentive for Virginia Power to
minimize the rate to Old Dominion, Old Dominion agrees to
share the savings between the Market Price and Virginia
Power's proposed price to supply such capacity if Old Dominion
purchases from Virginia Power. If however, Old Dominion
demonstrates to Virginia Power that Old Dominion can obtain
Excluded Supplemental Capacity at a lower cost under
comparable terms and conditions from an Alternate Power
Source, then Virginia Power will have the option to adjust its
price to match the lower cost from an Alternate Power Source
or Old Dominion may obtain the Excluded Supplemental Capacity
from the Alternate Power Source without any obligation to
Virginia Power under this Agreement. At such time as Virginia
Power has no obligation to serve any Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Demand, Old Dominion will have no obligation to
pay Virginia Power for any Old Dominion Monthly Billing Demand
as set forth in Appendix H, Section III.
(c) Alternative Power Supply and Rates.
(i) In the event that (1) any existing customer of
Old Dominion or any Old Dominion Member or (2) any future
customer located in an Old Dominion Member's service territory
obtains the right to receive electric service from an
"alternate power supplier" and receives a firm offer from such
"alternate power supplier", Old Dominion and its appropriate
Member shall use their best efforts to obtain or retain that
service to the customer. Such best efforts by Old Dominion and
its Member shall include, but shall not be limited to,
proposing to the
37
customer reasonable options using economic
development or discounted rates, each of which may include a
reasonable margin over costs.
(ii) In order to assist Old Dominion or any Old
Dominion Member in attracting a new retail customer or
retaining the load of an existing Old Dominion Member retail
customer that is considered by Old Dominion to be at risk
("at-risk load"), Virginia Power, upon notification by Old
Dominion, shall make available to Old Dominion and Old
Dominion shall, through the Old Dominion Members, make
available to the "at-risk load" the most cost-effective
alternative tariff contained in Virginia Power's then-current
Virginia retail tariffs for which such "at-risk load" would
qualify pursuant to that tariff's applicability clause.
Verifiable billing determinants shall be made available to
Virginia Power each month, and Virginia Power shall calculate
the billing credit based on the difference in the "at-risk
load" billing determinants billed under this Agreement and
those billing determinants billed under the alternate
available Virginia Power rate schedule and credit Old Dominion
accordingly.
(iii) In the event that Old Dominion or the Old
Dominion Member is still at risk of losing a retail customer
after making all of the efforts as set forth herein, then Old
Dominion shall have the right to reduce its purchases from
Virginia Power accordingly and generate, purchase or otherwise
obtain an equivalent amount of power (i.e., demand and energy)
elsewhere in order to retain that customer.
(iv) In the event that, notwithstanding Old
Dominion's and the Old Dominion Member's best efforts as
defined above, a retail customer of Old
38
Dominion or one of its Members has rejected in writing all of
the proposals set forth in this section and has purchased
electric service from an "alternate power supplier," then
Old Dominion may reduce its purchases of supplemental demand
and energy from Virginia Power to the extent of the
existing load lost to the "alternate power supplier" and
may purchase an equivalent amount of demand and energy
elsewhere.
(v) When Virginia Power's obligation to provide
Peaking Capacity ceases, the capacity and energy serving load
(1) under an alternative Virginia Power tariff pursuant to
Section 8.02(c)(ii), (2) with power purchased or obtained
elsewhere pursuant to Section 8.02 (c)(iii), or (3) lost to
the "alternate power supplier" pursuant to Section 8.02(c)(iv)
shall be deemed to be Old Dominion Excluded Supplemental
Capacity and Excluded Supplemental Energy.
(vi) This Section 8.02(c) shall not be applicable to
any new "at risk load" after December 31, 2002.
8.03 Peaking Capacity and Energy Purchases. Virginia Power shall
sell to Old Dominion and Old Dominion shall purchase Peaking
Capacity and associated energy as provided below:
(a) Peaking Capacity
(i) Except as provided otherwise in this Article VIII
of the Agreement, for each month from March 28, 1996, through
December 31, 2002, Virginia Power shall provide and sell to
Old Dominion firm Peaking Capacity as determined pursuant to
Appendix M, Section I., in an amount equal to four percent
(4%) of the maximum Old Dominion Monthly Delivered Demand in
each
39
of the preceding calendar years beginning with January 1,
1995, and Old Dominion shall purchase suc capacity, which
shall be considered an additional Old Dominion Generation
Resource. The Old Dominion annual supplemental demand
reductions and the related Peaking Capacity supplied by
Virginia Power will be cumulative. The four percent (4%)
annual supplemental demand reduction will occur on January 1
of each subsequent year.
(ii) For calendar year 2003, Old Dominion will have
the option of continuing to purchase Peaking Capacity from
Virginia Power. Old Dominion must notify Virginia Power by
January 1, 2002, if Old Dominion will continue to purchase the
cumulative Peaking Capacity. If Old Dominion does not provide
such notice, Virginia Power's obligations to provide Peaking
Capacity shall cease on December 31, 2002 and the amount of
such Peaking Capacity shall be fixed at the capacity level in
effect for 2002 through August 31, 2005. If Old Dominion
provides such notice, Old Dominion will continue to purchase
Peaking Capacity from Virginia Power in 2003, which will
increase from the capacity level in effect for 2002 by the
four percent (4%) calculation. After December 31, 2003, the
amount of such Peaking Capacity shall be fixed at the capacity
level in effect for 2003 through August 31, 2005. Virginia
Power will not be obligated to provide Peaking Capacity after
December 31, 2003.
(iii) After Virginia Power's obligation to provide
Peaking Capacity ceases, Old Dominion shall obtain such
capacity from an Alternate Power Source and such capacity
shall be deemed Excluded Peaking Capacity.
40
(iv) The amount of cumulative Peaking Capacity shall
be reduced by the amount of any load transfers after the
Effective Date either to other utility's(ies') control area(s)
or through the installation of diesel generators, by Old
Dominion or any of the Old Dominion Members for improvement in
operations or reliability. Furthermore, if for any reason
existing load is transferred from another utility's(ies')
control area(s) to Old Dominion or any Old Dominion Member's
service territory falling within Virginia Power's control
area, the cumulative Peaking Capacity shall be increased by
the amount of such load transfer.
(b) Peaking Energy Purchases.
(i) Virginia Power shall sell and Old Dominion
shall purchase Peaking Energy as determined pursuant to
Appendix M, Section II.
(ii) Old Dominion will have the right to displace up
to two-thirds of the accumulated Peaking Energy from January
1, 1998, through December 31, 1998, and all or any portion of
its accumulated Peaking Energy requirements beginning January
1, 1999 through December 31, 2002 by obtaining such energy
from an Alternate Power Source. Such displaced Peaking Energy
shall be deemed Displacement Peaking Energy. However, whether
or not Old Dominion obtains Displacemen Peaking Energy,
Virginia Power is obligated to plan for and be prepared to
supply Old Dominion's Peaking Energy requirements until
Virginia Power's obligation to provide Peaking Capacity
ceases. Thereafter, Virginia Power will not be obligated to
provide Old Dominion's Peaking Energy requirements and Old
Dominion shall obtain Peaking Energy from an Alternate
41
Power Source to serve such energy requirements. Such energy
shall be deemed Excluded Peaking Energy.
(c) Peaking Capacity Charges. Old Dominion shall pay
Virginia Power for Peaking Capacity purchased pursuant to Section 8.03(a) at
the rates set forth in Appendix G, Section II.
(d) Peaking Energy Charges. Through December 31, 1999,
for purchases by Old Dominion of monthly Peaking Energy from Virginia Power
pursuant to Section 8.03(b), Old Dominion shall pay Virginia Power a
Monthly Peaking Energy Charge based on Virginia Power's average system energy
cost, less North Xxxx energy cost, as set forth in Appendix G, Sections
V.A. and VI. For the period commencing January 1, 2000, Virginia Power shall
charge Old Dominion a Monthly Peaking Energy Charge for Peaking Energy purchased
from Virginia Power based on the projected generation cost of Virginia Power's
owned and operated peaking units subject to an annual true-up as set forth in
Appendix G, Section V.B. The Virginia Power peaking units to be used in
determining a Monthly Peaking Energy Charge shall be mutually agreed to by the
Parties on or before each October 1 for the following calendar year.
(e) Supplemental Billing Demands. On a monthly basis,
if the Old Dominion Monthly Supplemental Demand, as determined in accordance
with Appendix H, Section I., prior to crediting the Peaking Capacity, is less
than the total Peaking Capacity provided by Virginia Power, then the Peaking
Capacity shall be equal to the Old Dominion Monthly Demand less the sum of
the Old Dominion Monthly North Xxxx Capacity and Old Dominion Monthly
Accredited Firm Capacity (other than Peaking Capacity) and Old Dominion
Monthly Accredited Non-Firm Capacity. Accordingly, the Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Demand component of the Old Dominion Monthly Billing Demand shall
be equal to zero for the month.
42
8.04 Limitation on Virginia Power's Obligation to Serve
Supplemental Demand and Provide Supplemental Energy.
(a) Virginia Power shall not be required by this
Agreement to serve supplemental demand or provide energy outside the area in
which Virginia Power provides requirements service at wholesale or retail
as of the Effective Date, except for any minor boundary adjustments and minor
reallocations between Old Dominion Members and contiguous systems.
(b) If generating capacity or energy should become
inadequate to supply the full needs of both the Old Dominion Members' consumers
and Virginia Power customers, Old Dominion and Virginia Power shall share such
deficiency on a pro rata basis for Old Dominion purchases from Virginia Power.
(c) For any amount of the Old Dominion Monthly
Supplemental Demand with respect to which Old Dominion obtains Excluded
Supplemental Capacity, Old Dominion shall not be entitled to obtain from
Virginia Power and Virginia Power shall have no obligations to serve such

only the specific expenses associated with involuntary severance of
employees arising out of Virginia Power's Vision 2000 program directly
attributable to North Xxxx for only the years 1996 through 1998. Those
payments shall be calculated as follows:
1996 - pro rata share of actual severance expenses, not to
exceed $400,000;
1997 - pro rata share of actual severance expenses, not
to exceed $200,000;
1998 - pro rata share of actual severance expenses, not
to exceed $20,000.
For purposes of this Section 11.01 (d), Old Dominion's pro rata share of actual
severance expenses shall be based on:

program after the Effective Date that is intended to benefit both Parties,
Virginia Power shall give Old Dominion prior notice of the program and
demonstrate the expected cost savings to Old Dominion from the program if it
expects Old Dominion to bear its reasonable proportion of the costs of such
program. Old Dominion shall pay its reasonable, proportionate share of the costs
of such program provided that the cost savings have been adequately
demonstrated.
(f) The Parties shall negotiate in good faith so that on or
before December 31, 2000, they (1) mutually agree to a new methodology to
calculate the North Xxxx A&G Costs, (2) mutually agree to use improved Virginia
Power accounting or billing systems which allow for the specific identification
and assignment of North Xxxx A&G Costs or; (3) mutually agree to adjust the
Fixed Monthly A&G Fee to reflect changes in the costs or benefits to either
Party. In the event the Parties are unable to agree on any of the foregoing,
Virginia Power shall xxxx Old Dominion based on Virginia Power's understanding
of the administrative and general costs directly attributable to North Xxxx for
Old Dominion's share of North Xxxx A&G Costs and Old Dominion reserves all of
its rights to take exception to and to object to such xxxxxxxx including making
payments to Virginia Power under protest, based on Old Dominion's understanding
of the administrative and general costs directly attributable to North Xxxx.
(g) Virginia Power will continue to be obligated to
provide all information provided to Old Dominion as of January 1, 1997,

or
(ii) the application for, or consent (by admission of
material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to, the appointment
of a receiver, trustee or liquidator for any Party or for all or

17.02 Virginia Power's Rights on Default of Old Dominion. Whenever
any Event of Default by Old Dominion shall have occurred and Virginia Power
intends to require that the default be remedied, Virginia Power shall give Old
Dominion written notice to remedy the default. If the default shall not have
been fully cured within 30 days from the date of the notice, Virginia Power
shall have the rights set forth herein, in addition to all other rights it may
have at law or in equity.
(a) Where the default is a failure to pay money when due:
(i) Subject to the limitations contained in the Federal
Power Act or regulations duly promulgated thereunder, Virginia Power
may, 30 days after delivery to Old Dominion and the Old Dominion
Members of written notice of termination, terminate all service
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding such termination,
Virginia Power shall be authorized to continue to operate, maintain
and fuel the North Xxxx Facilities and to schedule and dispatch
the capacity and energy from such North Xxxx Facilities. In the
event this provision is invoked Virginia Power shall maintain
an accurate record of all the benefits, including but not limited to
the capacity and energy from Old Dominion's ownership interest in
the North Xxxx Facilities, and costs of such continued operation,
maintenance and fueling to provide for a reasonable settlement
following removal of the default.
(ii) Failure of Old Dominion to make any payment on the
date required under this Agreement shall obligate Old Dominion to pay
to Virginia Power (a) the unpaid amount, (b) interest on the unpaid
amount at the Special Interest Rate from the date such payment was
due until the amount is paid and (c) the reasonable expenses incurred
by Virginia Power in collecting the unpaid amount.
(iii) Where a default under Article XV of the
Purchase, Construction and Ownership Agreement shall have otherwise
permitted Virginia Power to purchase all or a portion of Old
Dominion's ownership interest in the North Xxxx Facilities (as
those terms are defined in the Purchase, Construction and
Ownership Agreement) any amount in default hereunder shall be
offset against the purchase price to be paid to Old Dominion.
(b) Where the default is the willful failure by Old Dominion to perform
an obligation hereunder other than the obligation to pay money when due,
Virginia Power may take any lawful action that will remedy the default or
mitigate its effects, and Old Dominion shall, upon demand by Virginia Power, pay
reasonable losses or damages incurred by Virginia Power as a direct and
proximate result of the default and all expenses incurred by Virginia Power in
remedying the default or mitigating its effects, together with interest at the
Special Interest Rate on that amount until the total amount is paid. A failure
by Old Dominion to make payment hereunder shall constitute a default under
Section 17.01(a) and give rise to the remedies available under Section 17.02(a).
(c) Where the default is any of the acts set forth in Section 17.01(c),
Virginia Power shall have the right to take any lawful action, including
termination of this Agreement, that Virginia Power determines to be necessary to
minimize its losses or enhance its prospects of recovery of amounts due and to
become due to it.
17.03 Old Dominion's Rights on Default of Virginia Power. Whenever
any Event of Default by Virginia Power shall have occurred and Old Dominion
intends to require that the default be remedied, Old Dominion shall give
Virginia Power written notice to remedy the default. If the default shall not
have been fully cured within 30 days from the date of the notice, Old Dominion
shall have the rights set forth herein, in addition to all other rights it may
have at law or in equity.
(a) Where the default is a failure to pay money when due, Old
Dominion shall have the right to withhold from Virginia Power payment of
Old Dominion's obligations hereunder to the extent of the amount in
default plus interest at the Special Interest Rate thereon until the
amount is paid.
(b) Where the default is the willful failure by Virginia Power
to perform an obligation hereunder other than the obligation to pay
money when due, Old Dominion may take any lawful action that will remedy
the default or mitigate its effects, and Virginia Power shall, upon
demand by Old Dominion, pay reasonable losses or damages incurred by Old
Dominion as a direct and proximate result of the default and all
expenses incurred by Old Dominion in remedying the default or mitigating
its effects, together with interest at the Special Interest Rate on
that amount until the total amount is paid. A failure by Virginia
Power to make payment hereunder shall constitute a default under
Section 17.01(a) and give rise to the remedies available under Section
17.03(a).
(c) Where the default is any of the acts set forth in Section
17.01(c), Old Dominion shall have the right to take any lawful action,
including termination of this Agreement, that Old Dominion determines to
be necessary to minimize its losses or enhance its prospects of recovery
of amounts due and to become due to it.
17.04 Disputes Concerning Default . In the event that any Party shall
dispute an asserted default by it, such Party shall pay the disputed payment or
perform the disputed obligations, but may do so under protest. The protest shall
be in writing, shall precede or accompany the disputed payment or performance of
the disputed obligations, shall specify the reasons upon which the protest is
based and shall be delivered to the other Party hereunder. In the event it is
determined that the protesting Party is entitled to a refund of all or any
portion of a disputed payment or payments, or is entitled to reimbursement of
the cost of performing a disputed obligation theretofore made or performed, then
the protesting Party shall be reimbursed such amount with interest at the
Regular Interest Rate for the period involved.
17.05 Additional Obligations . With respect to any Party as to which an
Event of Default has occurred, such Party shall use its best efforts to take any
and all such further actions and shall execute and file, where appropriate, any
and all such further legal documents and papers as may be reasonable under the
circumstances in order to facilitate the carrying out of this Agreement or
otherwise effectuating its purpose, including but not limited to action to seek
any required governmental or regulatory approval and to obtain any other
required consent, release, amendment or other similar document.
17.06 Injunctive Relief . The Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that
the failure of a Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement,
including the execution of legal documents which may be reasonably requested as
set forth in this Article XVII, would cause irreparable injury to the other
Party and that the remedy at law for any violations or threatened violation
thereof would be inadequate, and agree that the other Party shall be entitled to
a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief specifically to
enforce such obligation without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of its
legal remedies.
17.07 No Remedy Exclusive . No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the
Parties hereto in this Article XVII is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy or remedies available hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity, or by statute or otherwise, but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other such remedy. The pursuit by
any Party of any specific remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of that
remedy to the exclusion of any other or others, whether provided hereunder or by
law, equity or statute.
17.08 Agreement to Pay All Costs to Cure Default .
(a) A late payment charge during periods of default shall
accrue on any amount in default at an annual rate equal to that of the Special
Interest Rate.
(b) If an Event of Default should occur and a Party not in
default should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of
any payment or the enforcement of performance or observation of any condition or
obligation on the part of a defaulting Party or for the exercise of any other
remedy hereunder, the defaulting Party agrees that it will on demand therefore
reimburse the other Party for its reasonable expenses of such attorneys and such
other expenses incurred. No default shall be deemed cured until all costs
payable under this Article, including any attorneys' fees incurred by the Party
not in default, and payments pursuant to this Agreement shall have been paid or
reimbursed.
17.09 General Covenant by the Parties. Each Party hereto covenants
and agrees that if any event shall occur or condition exist which constitutes,
or which after notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of
Default on its part pursuant to this Article, it shall immediately notify the
other Party thereof, specifying the nature thereof and any action taken or
proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

Major Spare Parts shall also include any other major items that the Parties
agree (i) to keep in inventory and (ii) to designate as Major Spare Parts for
possible use in replacing similar items in units located not only at the North
Xxxx Nuclear Power Station but also at other power stations. Such designation
shall state the units that the Major Spare Part is designated to serve.
B.02 Old Dominion's Percentage Ownership Interest in Major Spare Parts.
(a) Except as otherwise modified by the operation of Sections
15.03, 16.01 or 16.02 of the Purchase, Construction and Ownership Agreement, Old
Dominion shall own its Old Dominion's Percentage Ownership Interest in any Major
Spare Part until such Major Spare Part is used in a unit other than the Units.
Upon use in any such unit, Virginia Power shall purchase such Major Spare Part
from Old Dominion in accordance with B.04 hereof.
(b) Virginia Power agrees to pay carrying charges, if any,
with respect to each Major Spare Part equal to (i) Old Dominion's Percentage
Ownership Interest, less (ii) the sum of Old Dominion's Percentage Ownership
Interest in any Unit that the Major Spare Part serves, divided by the total
number of units served by the Major Spare Part.
(c) It is the intention of the Parties that the formula be
reapplied at any time that the number of units served by any Major Spare Part or
Old Dominion's Percentage Ownership Interest changes for any reason. In any case
where ownership interest of the Parties are adjusted, the provisions of Section
16.04 of the Purchase, Construction and Ownership Agreement shall apply and
appropriate payment shall be made pursuant to Section B.04 hereof.
B.03 Ownership Responsibilities - Major Spare Parts. Virginia Power
may make use of any Major Spare Part in any of the units at the North Xxxx
Nuclear Power Station or other power stations for which such parts have been
designated to serve in accordance with Section B.01 hereof and in accordance
with the following conditions:
A. If at any time a unit at the North Xxxx Nuclear Power Station
or other power stations has need of a Major Spare Part to
replace any part of an equivalent item that has been damaged,
such Major Spare Part may be used in such unit; provided that
another unit (for which the part has been designated in
accordance with Section B.01 hereof) located at either station
had not been damaged earlier and made prior claim to use such
Major Spare Part.
B. When a Major Spare Part is used in any unit, Virginia Power
and Old Dominion shall have an obligation either to (i) repair
such damaged item or (ii) to acquire a new item in place of
the damaged item, as expeditiously as possible, and to return
it to the original location of the Major Spare Part that was
used. Payment therefor will be in accordance with Section B.04
hereof.
Any time that any Major Spare Part is used in any unit other than the Units,
Virginia Power shall be obliged to make payment to Old Dominion. The adjustment
of ownership interest at the time a Major Spare Part is used shall conform, in
all respects, to the provisions of Section 16.04 of the Purchase, Construction
and Ownership Agreement.
B.04 Cost Responsibilities - Major Spare Parts. Cost and payment
responsibilities of the Parties for the Major Spare Parts shall be determined in
accordance with the following:
A. Subject to the provisions of Section B.04 (D) hereof, the
responsibility of the Parties for any New Investment or costs
for any Major Spare Part will be shared in proportion to the
Parties then current ownership interest in that Major Spare
Part.
B. Virginia Power shall pay carrying charges on the interest
stated in Section B.02(b), based upon the same principles
under which carrying charges are paid pursuant to this
Appendix B. excluding cancellation costs, taxes payable at
closing and deferred taxes set forth in Exhibit N of the
Purchase Agreement and the 15 percent xxxx-up reflected
therein, while reflecting Old Dominion's actual cost of
capital used to finance such Major Spare Parts, rather than
11%.
C. Upon the use of any Major Spare Part in a non-North Xxxx unit,
Virginia Power shall pay Old Dominion the amount necessary so
that Old Dominion's net investment as reflected on Old
Dominion's books in that Major Spare Part is $0. Upon the use
of any Major Spare Part in a Unit, Virginia Power will cease
paying carrying charges pursuant to Section B.02(b) on that
Major Spare Part until a replacement Major Spare Part is
acquired. The provisions of Section 16.04 of the Purchase,
Construction and Ownership Agreement shall apply to any
adjustment under that Section.
D. The parties shall pay for any replacement Major Spare
Part, subject to the next sentence, in proportion to
their respective ownership interests in the unit in
which the Major Spare Part was used, but the investment
attributed to the replacement Major Spare Part when such
part is designated as a Major Spare Part shall be equal
to the dollar amount initially invested in the Major
Spare Part that was used in the Unit needing that part.
Accordingly, when the repaired or replacement part is
designated a Major Spare Part, a payment shall be made
to the appropriate Party so that the then resulting
investment of the Parties in the Major Spare Part shall
be equal to the investment of the Parties in the Major
Spare Part that was used in the Unit needing that part.
E. Upon any adjustment in Old Dominion's Percentage Ownership
Interest in any Major Spare Part pursuant to Section B.02(c),
payment shall be made to the Party whose ownership interest
decreased, so that the percentage investment (including all
cost components comprising New Investment, undepreciated) of
each Party shall be equal to that Party's percentage ownership
interest in the respective Major Spare Part.

A. The Annual Fuel Adjustment Factor shall be applicable as
follows:
1. To all Old Dominion Monthly Billing Energy for the
period January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2000.
2. To all Old Dominion Monthly Reserve Energy for the
period January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001.
3. To all Monthly Peaking Energy for the period January
1, 1998 through December 31, 1999.
B. For the above periods, Old Dominion Monthly Billing Energy,
Peaking Energy and Old Dominion Monthly Reserve Energy
(on-peak and off-peak kilowatt-hours, respectively) shall be
multiplied by the annual time-differentiated on-peak and
off-peak fuel adjustment factors which shall be equal to :
1. The sum of:
(a) the estimated current-period fuel adjustment
factor, and
(b) the prior-period deferral adjustment factor,
multiplied by
2. 1.04978 to determine the annual on-peak fuel
adjustment factor and 0.94922 to determine the
annual off-peak fuel adjustment factor.
Appendix G
Page 8 of 12
C. The estimated current-period fuel adjustment factor to become
effective with the April billing month of each year shall be
based on the estimated fuel expenses allocable to Old
Dominion's estimated supplemental and peaking energy through
the year 1999 and supplemental energy through the year 2000
for the 12-month period beginning in April of each year, and
shall be calculated by the fuel adjustment factor formula
shown below rounded to the nearest thousandth of a cent.
D. The prior-period deferral adjustment factor to become
effective with the April billing month of each year shall be
based on the difference between the total fuel expenses (using
the criteria outlined in (1) through (3) of Paragraph VI.H.
below) allocable to Old Dominion and the total fuel recoveries
by Old Dominion for the 12 months prior to April of each year,
divided by Old Dominion's estimated supplemental and peaking
energy through the year 1999 and supplemental energy through
the year 2000 for the 12-month period beginning with April of
each year (6 months where a semi-annual change is made
pursuant to Paragraph F. below). The prior-period deferral
adjustment factor will be adjusted for taxes.
E. The intent of the annual fuel adjustment factor is to recover
all fuel expenses allocable to Old Dominion. To the extent
the amount recovered from Old Dominion through the annual fuel
adjustment factor and the fuel component of the base rate
exceeds the cost of fuel allocable to Old Dominion for the
same time period, this over-recovery shall be a credit in the
calculation of the prior-period deferral adjustment factor for
the 12-month period beginning with the next April. To the
extent the amount recovered from Old Dominion through the
annual fuel adjustment factor and the fuel component of the
base rate is less than the cost of fuel allocable to Old
Dominion for the same time period, this under-recovery shall
be a charge in the calculation of the prior-period deferral
adjustment factor for the 12-month period beginning with the
next April.
F. The annual fuel adjustment factor shall be reviewed on a
semi-annual basis to determine if any change is required. The
current and prior period portions of the fuel adjustment
factor will be reviewed individually, and a change to one or
both may be made. The adjustment may be deferred until the
end of the 12-month period, provided the net difference
between the Company's actual and estimated under-recovery at
the end of the 12-month period is no greater than seven and
one-half per centum of actual and estimated fuel expenses or
the net difference between the actual and estimated
over-recovery at the end of the 12-month period is no greater
than five per centum of actual and estimated fuel expenses.
G. Fuel Adjustment Factor Formula:
F = [ E - B] (T)
-
S
Where:
Appendix G
Page 9 of 12
F = Estimated annual fuel adjustment factor in dollars
per kilowatthour.
E = Estimated total system fuel expenses as defined in
Paragraph VI.H. below allocated to Old Dominion. The
energy allocation factor for Old Dominion shall be
the ratio of: (a) Old Dominion supplemental and
peaking energy through the year 1999 and supplemental
energy through the year 2000 for the 12-month period
beginning with April of each year divided by; (b) the
total Company system energy excluding energy
generated from North Xxxx Units 1 and 2, for the
12-month period beginning with April of each year.
S = Estimated Old Dominion supplemental and peaking
energy through the year 1999 and supplemental energy
through the year 2000 at the generation level for the
12-month period beginning with April of each year.
B = The current base cost of fuel = $0.01386.
T = Adjustment for state and local taxes measured by
gross receipts determined separately for resale
customers in Virginia: 100% divided by (100% minus
applicable Gross Receipts Tax rate).
H. The estimated system fuel expenses allocable to Old Dominion
for the 12-month period beginning with April of each year
shall be determined as follows:
1. Fossil and nuclear fuel consumed in the Utility's
wholly owned plants, and the Utility's share of
fossil and nuclear fuel consumed in jointly owned or
leased plants excluding nuclear fuel consumed in
North Xxxx Units 1 and 2. The cost of fossil fuel
shall include no items other than those listed in
Account 151 of the Commission's Uniform System of
Accounts for Public Utilities and Licensees.
The cost of nuclear fuel shall be that as shown in
Account 518, excluding nuclear fuel consumed in North
Xxxx Units 1 and 2, except that if Account 518 also
contains any expense for fossil fuel, or another
utility's share of jointly owned nuclear fuel, it
shall be deducted from this account.
Plus
2. The following purchased power costs:
(a) The fuel cost component of any purchased
power transaction.
or
Appendix G
Page 10 of 12
(b) The total energy charges associated with
economic purchases if the energy charges are
less than the Company's total avoided
variable costs during the purchase period.
or
(c) The total expense associated with purchased
power of less than twelve months duration if
the total cost of the purchase is less than
the Company's total avoided variable costs
and if the purpose of the purchase was
solely to displace higher cost generation.
Purchases made to solely displace higher
cost generation exclude reliability
purchases. A purchase shall be deemed for
reliability where the Company's system
reserve criterion is not met. Such criterion
is as follows:
Operating Reserve (consisting of largest
generating unit plus regulating margin plus
load forecast margin)
Minus
75% of Emergency Contract Capacity
Equals
Spinning Reserve Requirement
(d) Energy receipts that do not involve money
payments such as diversity energy and
pay-back of storage energy are not defined
as purchased or interchanged power relative
to the fuel clause.
Minus
3. (a) The cost of fossil and nuclear fuel
recovered through inter-system sales
including the fuel costs related to economy
energy sales and other energy sold on an
economic dispatch basis. (Energy deliveries
that do not involve billing transactions
such as diversity energy and pay-back of
storage energy are not defined as sales
relative to the fuel factor.), and;
(b) The fuel costs recovered through redispatch
charges pursuant to the Open Access
Transmission Tariff.
I. Virginia Power will determine the balance of any
under-recovery or over-recovery of fuel expense allocated to
Old Dominion under this Section VI. for Old Dominion Monthly
Billing Energy as of January 1, 2001. These amounts will be
recovered through twelve equal monthly payments in 2001.
Appendix G
Page 11 of 12
For calendar year 2001, the Annual Fuel Adjustment Factor
applicable to Old Dominion Monthly Reserve Energy shall be
calculated based on the estimated annual system fuel expense
and sales (MWh), less North Xxxx fuel expense and sales (MWh).
Following calendar year 2001, Virginia Power shall determine
the annual system average fuel rate based on actual fuel
costs, exclusive of North Xxxx fuel expense and sales, for
2001. The difference between the estimated and the actual
annual system fuel rates shall be multiplied by the Old
Dominion Monthly Reserve Energy for 2001 to determine the
over-recovery or under-recovery for fuel expense for Old
Dominion Monthly Reserve Energy for the year 2001. Any
over-recovered fuel expense will be refunded to Old Dominion
within sixty (60) days as a credit to the monthly Charges For
Purchases By Old Dominion. Any under-recovered fuel expense
will be charged to Old Dominion within sixty (60) days as an
addition to the monthly Charges For Purchases By Old Dominion.
Effective January 1, 2002, this Annual Fuel Adjustment Factor
will no longer be applicable to any Old Dominion Monthly
Billing Energy, Peaking Energy or Old Dominion Monthly Reserve
Energy.
VII. Monthly Charges for Purchases by Old Dominion
The Monthly Charges for Purchases by Old Dominion shall be the sum of

APPENDIX M
PEAKING CAPACITY AND ENERGY
I. Peaking Capacity
Peaking Capacity shall be calculated in accordance with Section
8.03(a) and (e) and the following
PC(y) = MODMDD(y-1) x 0.04 + PC(y-1)
Where y is equal to the year's index,
PC(y) = Peaking Capacity in year y
PC(y-1) = Peaking Capacity in year prior to year y
MODMDD (y-1) = Maximum Old Dominion Monthly Delivered Demand in
year prior to year y
This equation begins with year (y) = 1996
II. Peaking Energy
Peaking Energy will be determined based upon a forecast of Old
Dominion projected hourly delivered loads excluding SEPA and adjusted for
losses. These loads will be sorted in descending order and shall be referred to
as the Old Dominion "Load Duration Curve." The Peaking Energy shall be
calculated based upon the following equation:
hp
PCe = (SIGMA) ODMD - P + P\c\
h = 0
Where,
PC\e\ = Peaking Energy
ODMD = Old Dominion Monthly Demand for each hour
P = The maximum 60 minute Old Dominion Monthly Demand for the
year
PC = Peaking Capacity for the year
Appendix M
Page 2 of 3
h = The hourly index
hT = The total number of hours during the year.
hp = That hour where ODMD equals the maximum 60 minute Old Dominion
Monthly Demand for the year less the Peaking Capacity for the
year.
An illustration of the peaking energy for a sample year follows.

To Old Dominion Electric Cooperative
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of this 29th day of July, 1997, by and between
Virginia Electric and Power Company (hereinafter called "Transmission
Provider"), and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (hereinafter called
"Transmission Customer").
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Transmission Provider agrees to furnish, and Transmission Customer
agrees to take and pay for, Network Integration Transmission Service
pursuant to Transmission Provider's FERC Transmission Tariff Volume No.
5, as modified from time to time. The terms and conditions of the Tariff
are incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed as affecting in any way Transmission Provider's right
to unilaterally make application to the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, or other regulatory agency having jurisdiction, for any
change in the Tariff or this Service Agreement under Section 205 of the
Federal Power Act, or other applicable statute, and any rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder; or Transmission Customer's rights
under the Federal Power Act and rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
-2-
2. The specifications of service shall be agreed to from time to time by
Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer. Changes in the
specifications do not require amendment of the Service Agreement that
is filed with the FERC unless the changes in specifications result in
changes in the charges to Transmission Customer for Network Integration
Transmission Service or related Ancillary Services.
3. The charge for Network Integration Transmission Service over
Transmission Provider's Transmission System to Transmission Customer
shall be the rate set out in Schedule 9 of the Tariff, applied to the
difference between Transmission Customer's Network Load and any SEPA
capacity for which the Transmission Provider receives payment for
transmission service pursuant to another contract. In addition,
Transmission Customer shall pay a proportional share of Redispatch Costs
based on the ratio of its Network Load to the sum of all Network Loads
and Transmission Provider's Native Load. In the event that Transmission
Customer requests service from Network Resources or to delivery points
that are not listed in the specifications for service commencing January
1, 1998, and Transmission Provider must construct additional
transmission facilities or redispatch generation in order to provide
such service, Transmission Provider may seek to amend this Service
Agreement to provide for Transmission Customer to pay for such
transmission service on an incremental basis pursuant to the policies of
the Commission. Any fuel costs that Transmission Customer pays as a
result of
-3-
redispatch charges pursuant to this section that would otherwise be
included in fuel adjustment clause charges under the Interconnection and
Operating Agreement Between Virginia Electric and Power Company and Old
Dominion Electric Cooperative ("the I&O Agreement") will be excluded
from Transmission Customer's fuel adjustment clause charges under that
Agreement.
4. The charge for Distribution Service to Transmission Customer's
Distribution-level points of delivery is $.8193/kW month, multiplied by
Transmission Customer's maximum hourly demand coincident at all delivery
points served at distribution voltages, less capacity supplied to such
delivery points by SEPA, at production level. The charge for
Distribution Service includes the cost of delivery point meters provided
by Transmission Provider for service to Transmission Customer. The loss
factor for such Distribution Service is 0.6924%.
5. Transmission Customer's arrangements for Ancillary Services are
as follows:
Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch Service: For the period
January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, the rate shall be $.01133/kW
month, applied to the difference between Transmission Customer's Network

payment for this service pursuant to another contract. Beginning January
1, 2002, Schedule 1 of the Tariff, as modified from time to time, shall
apply.
Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources
Service: For the period January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, the
rate shall be
-4-
$.11000/kW month, applied to the difference between Transmission
Customer's Network Load and any SEPA capacity for which Transmission
Provider receives payment for this service pursuant to another contract,
less Transmission Customer's ownership entitlement in the North Anna and
Clover generating stations, for which Transmission Customer
self-supplies this service. Beginning January 1, 2002, Schedule 2 of the
Tariff, as modified from time to time, shall apply.
Regulation and Frequency Response Service: For the period January 1,
1998 through December 31, 2001, Transmission Customer shall purchase
this service from Transmission Provider at a rate of $6.72/kW month

Network Load and any SEPA capacity for which Transmission Provider
receives payment for this service pursuant to another contract.
Beginning January 1, 2002, Schedule 3 of the Tariff, as modified from
time to time, shall apply.
Energy Imbalance Service: For the period in which the dispatch of
all of Transmission Customer's Network Resources is controlled by
Transmission Provider, there is no charge for energy imbalance
service because those Network Resources are automatically
dispatched to meet Transmission Customer's entire Network Load.
Schedule 4, as modified from time to time, shall apply to any
Network Load served by Excluded Supplemental Capacity or Excluded
Peaking Capacity under the I&O Agreement.
-5-
Operating Reserve -- Spinning Reserve Service: For the period
January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, Transmission Customer shall
purchase this service from Transmission Provider at a rate of
$8.59000/kW month, applied to 1.26% of difference between Transmission
Customer's Network Load and any SEPA capacity for which Transmission
Provider receives payment for this service pursuant to another contract.
Beginning January 1, 2002, Schedule 5 of the Tariff, as modified from
time to time, shall apply.
Operating Reserve -- Supplemental Reserve Service: For the period
January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, Transmission Customer shall
purchase this service from Transmission Provider at a rate of
$5.55000/kW month, applied to 1.26% of the difference between
Transmission Customer's Network Load and any SEPA capacity for which
Transmission Provider receives payment for this service pursuant to
another contract. Beginning January 1, 2002, Schedule 6 of the Tariff,
as modified from time to time, shall apply.
6. Transmission Customer shall maintain a minimum power factor of 97.3%
(lagging) at transmission-level delivery points and 99.0% (lagging) at
distribution level delivery points. Power factors shall be determined
based on the sums of the kW and rkva, respectively, for all of
Transmission Customer's transmission level or distribution level
delivery points within each of Transmission Provider's districts. If
Transmission Customer fails to maintain these power factors Transmission
Provider shall charge Transmission Customer for its historical
-6-
reactive requirements at embedded cost rates and for its reactive
requirements in excess of historical levels on an incremental basis.
7. Transmission Customer may not assign the Service Agreement to any other
entity; provided that Transmission Customer may assign or transfer its
rights under this Agreement to the U.S. Government or any agency
thereof, the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation,
or any other financing institution solely as security for loans or
advances without the prior written consent of Transmission Provider.
8. This Service Agreement is subject to any present and future state and
federal laws, regulations, orders or other duly promulgated
requirements.
9. This Service Agreement shall become effective on January 1, 1998 and
shall have an initial term of four years. After the initial term, this
Service Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated by
Transmission Provider or Transmission Customer; provided that the
terminating Party must provide not less than one year's written notice
of termination.
-7-
IN WITNESS HEREOF, the Parties have caused this Service Agreement to be
executed by their respective authorized officials.

Network Operating Agreement
Between
Virginia Electric and Power Company
and
Old Dominion Electric Cooperative
Preamble
Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Transmission Provider") and Old
Dominion Electric Cooperative ("Transmission Customer") agree that the
provisions of this Network Operating Agreement ("Network Operating Agreement")
and the Service Agreement govern Transmission Provider's provision of Network
Integration Transmission Service to Transmission Customer in accordance with
Part III of the Open Access Transmission Tariff ("Tariff"), as it may be amended
from time to time. Unless specified herein, capitalized terms shall refer to
terms defined in the Tariff. 1. Control Area Requirements
1. Control Area Requirements
Transmission Provider shall be the Control Area Operator for the Network
Loads of Transmission Customer.
Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer shall plan, construct,
operate, and maintain their facilities and systems in accordance with Good
Utility Practice, which shall include, but not be limited to, all applicable
guidelines of NERC and SERC, as they may be modified from time to time, and any
generally accepted practices in the region that are consistently adhered to by
Transmission Provider.
-2-
2. Redispatch Procedures
(a) If Transmission Provider determines that redispatching resources
(including reductions in off-system purchases and sales) to
relieve an existing or potential transmission constraint is the
most effective way to ensure the reliable operation of the
Transmission System, Transmission Provider will redispatch
Transmission Provider's and Transmission Customer's resources on
a least-cost basis, without regard to the ownership of such
resources. Transmission Provider will apprise Transmission
Customer of its redispatch practices and procedures, as they may
be modified from time to time.
(b) Transmission Customer shall submit to Transmission Provider
verifiable cost data for any Network Resources that Transmission
Provider does not dispatch, which estimate the cost to
Transmission Customer of changing the generation output of each
of its Network Resources. This cost data will be used, along with
similar data for Transmission Provider's resources, as the basis
for least-cost redispatch. Transmission Provider's bulk power
operations personnel will keep this data confidential, and will
not disclose it to Transmission Provider's marketing personnel.
If Transmission Customer experiences changes to the costs for
such Network Resources, Transmission Customer will submit those
changes to Transmission Provider's system operation center.
Transmission Provider will implement least-cost redispatch
consistent with its current practices and procedures for its own
-3-
resources and its contract obligations with respect to any
purchased resources. Transmission Customer shall respond within
ten (l0) minutes to requests from Transmission Provider's
system operation center for redispatch of such Network
Resources that Transmission Provider does not dispatch.
(c) In addition to the rights that Transmission Customer may have
pursuant to other contracts with Transmission Provider,
Transmission Customer may audit, at its own expense, redispatch
events (such as the cause or necessity of the redispatch)
during normal business hours following reasonable notice to
Transmission Provider. Either Transmission Customer or
Transmission Provider may request an audit of the other Party's
cost data. Any audit of cost data shall be performed by an
independent agent at the requesting Party's cost. Such
independent agent shall be required to keep all cost data
confidential and not disclose such information to Transmission
Customer's marketing personnel or Transmission Provider's
marketing personnel.
(d) Once redispatch has been implemented, Transmission Provider
shall book in a separate account the redispatch costs incurred
by Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer based on the
submitted cost data.
3. Metering
(a) Unless otherwise agreed, Transmission Provider shall be
responsible for the purchase, installation, operation,
maintenance, repair and replacement of all
-4-
metering equipment necessary to enable Transmission Provider to
provide Network Integration Transmission Service. Transmission
Customer shall reimburse Transmission Provider for the cost of
such meters through monthly charges as provided in the Service
Agreement. If Transmission Customer obtains energy from any
generator that is not owned or controlled by Transmission
Provider, Transmission Customer must either provide a non-
dynamic schedule between Control Areas or ensure that there is
sufficient metering to measure the amount of energy provided to
Transmission Provider's Control Area by that generator. All
metering equipment shall conform to Good Utility Practice and
the standards and practices of Transmission Provider's Control
Area. If Transmission Customer is responsible for metering,
then, prior to its installation, Transmission Provider shall
approve the type of metering equipment to ensure conformance
with such standards or practices, and such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(b) Electric capacity and energy received by Transmission Provider
from Transmission Customer shall be measured by meters installed
at Transmission Customer's Network Resources if such Network
Resources are electronically located within Transmission
Provider's Control Area. When measurement is made at any
location other than a Point of Receipt, suitable adjustment for
losses between the point of measurement and the
-5-
Point of Receipt shall be agreed upon in writing between the
parties hereto and will be applied to all measurements so made.
Metered receipts used in billing and accounting hereunder shall
in all cases include adjustments for such losses.
(c) Electric capacity and energy delivered to Transmission
Customer's Network Load by Transmission Provider shall be
measured by meters installed at the Point(s) of Delivery to such
Network Loads. When measurement is made at any location other
than Point(s) of Delivery, suitable adjustment for losses
between the point of measurement and the Point(s) of Delivery
will be agreed upon in writing between the parties hereto and
will be applied to all measurements so made. Metering equipment
shall normally be installed on Transmission Customer's side of
the delivery point. Metered receipts used in billing and
accounting hereunder shall in all cases include adjustments for
such losses.
(d) Meters at Transmission Customer's Network Resources and Network
Loads shall be tested at least once every year. At the request
of either Party, a special test of any meter will be performed.
All costs of such a test will be paid by the Party requesting
the test, unless metering inaccuracy as defined in paragraph
3(e) is discovered, in which case costs will be borne by the
Party that owns the meter. Representatives of both parties shall
be afforded an opportunity to be present at all routine or
special tests. All meters will
-6-
be sealed and seals will be broken only by the owning Party and
only when meters are to be tested or adjusted.
(e) In the event any metering equipment used to measure capacity and
energy is found to be inaccurate by more than one (l) percent or
is inoperable, the meter will be promptly replaced, repaired or
readjusted by the owner of the meter. Adjustments made for
metering inaccuracy or other meter malfunctions will be made for
the period the inaccuracy or malfunction is known, or for a
mutually agreed upon period, if not known. If agreement on the
period of adjustment cannot be reached, a period of three months
from the date of discovery of the inaccuracy or malfunction
shall be utilized.
(f) Either Party shall have the right to install check metering at
any Point(s) of Receipt or Delivery, as herein provided without
charge by the Party owning the metering equipment for the
purpose of checking the meters installed by the other Party.
(g) Each Party shall read any meters owned by it, except as may be
mutually agreed, and shall furnish to the other Party all meter
readings and other information required for operations and for
billing purposes. Such information shall remain available to the
other Party for three (3) years.
-7-
4. Operating Data and Equipment Requirements
(a) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) telemetry to
Transmission Provider is required for: (i) Transmission
Customer's aggregate Network Load; (ii) each Network Resource
that is designated by Transmission Customer after the date of
this Agreement; and (iii) each transmission-voltage delivery
point that is established after the date of this Agreement for
which such telemetry is determined by the Network Operating
Committee to be necessary to support the reliability of the
transmission system. Transmission Provider shall establish the
requirements for SCADA telemetry, the data to be received at its
system operations center and the protocol for communications
between Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer based on
Good Utility Practice and the reliability and security of the
system. Transmission Provider shall coordinate its decisions
concerning SCADA telemetry, data and communications protocols
with Transmission Customer to the extent it can reasonably do
so.
(b) Transmission Customer shall be responsible for the purchase,
installation, operation, repair and replacement of SCADA
telemetry equipment and protection equipment and any related
equipment and hardware that is required by this Agreement.
Transmission Customer also shall be responsible for implementing
any modifications to the SCADA software
-8-
and communications protocols necessary to communicate
effectively with Transmission Provider.
5. Operating Requirements
(a) Transmission Customer shall operate its generating resources
inside Transmission Provider's Control Area (other than
resources operated by Transmission Provider) in a manner
consistent with that of Transmission Provider, following voltage
schedules, free governor response, meeting power factor
requirements at the points of interconnection with Transmission
Provider's system, and other such criteria required by NERC and
SERC and consistently adhered to by Transmission Provider.
(b) Transmission Customer shall develop a load curtailment plan that
provides for voltage reductions, voluntary load curtailments,
manual load shedding and automatic load shedding that is
comparable to the load curtailment plan that Transmission
Provider has for its Native Load Customers. Transmission
Provider and Transmission Customer shall work together to ensure
the integrity of the interconnected systems, with Transmission
Provider charged with the responsibility of initiating and
coordinating any load curtailments and the subsequent
restoration of these loads. Should Transmission Customer
willfully fail, in the absence of good cause, to reduce voltage
or shed load as required by Transmission Provider, it shall pay
a charge equal to $25.77/kW-month (as amended from time to time)
-9-
multiplied by the amount of load that Transmission Customer
fails to curtail. Insofar as practicable, Transmission Provider
and Transmission Customer shall protect, operate, and maintain
their respective systems so as to avoid or minimize the
likelihood of disturbances which might cause impairment of
service on the system(s) of the other.
(c) In the event a temporary voltage reduction is required because
of any condition, Transmission Provider will notify Transmission
Customer as far in advance as practicable of its plan to reduce
voltage and the period for which such voltage reduction is
believed to be required and Transmission Customer will, upon
such notification, effect a similar true voltage reduction on
its system during the same period. Transmission Customer will be
notified immediately when a voltage reduction is planned to be
terminated.
(d) Transmission Customer shall maintain the capability to manually
shed its Network Load that is comparable to the capability of
Transmission Provider to manually shed the loads of its Native
Load Customers. When manual load shedding is necessary,
Transmission Provider shall notify Transmission Customer of the
required action and Transmission Customer shall comply within
ten (10) minutes. Transmission Provider shall require, on a non-
discriminatory basis, manual load shedding for Transmission
-10-
Customer's Network Load unless otherwise required by
circumstances beyond the control of the Transmission Provider or
Transmission Customer.
(e) Prior to the date on which Transmission Customer serves any
portion of its Network Load using Excluded Supplemental Capacity
or Excluded Peaking Capacity under the I&O Agreement, the
Parties shall agree on load shedding capabilities and procedures
for that portion of Transmission Customer's Network Load.
(f) Transmission Customer shall provide, operate and maintain
in service automatic high-speed digital underfrequency load
shedding equipment that has the capability, together with
equipment installed by Transmission Provider, to disconnect
Transmission Customer's Network Load in a manner that is
comparable to Transmission Provider's automatic load shedding
capability for its Native Load. Such automatic load shedding
capability shall be established at frequency set points of 59.3
Hertz, 59.0 Hertz, and 58.5 Hertz, with no intentional time
delay. The requirement to maintain automatic load shedding
capability shall be phased in as agreed upon by Transmission
Provider and Transmission Customer and shall be fully
implemented by not later than January 1, 2002.
(g) In the event Transmission Provider modifies the load shedding
system, Transmission Customer shall, at its expense, make
corresponding changes to its equipment and the setting of such
equipment, as required.
- 11 -
(h) Transmission Customer shall test and inspect its load shedding
equipment not less than thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence
of an event that requires modification of its load shedding
capability as set out in this Article and thereafter shall
conduct additional tests in accordance with Good Utility
Practice. Transmission Provider may request other tests of the
load shedding equipment upon reasonable notice. Transmission
Customer shall provide Transmission Provider written reports of
all load shedding tests.
6. Operational Information
Transmission Customer shall provide data needed for the safe and
reliable operation of Transmission Customer's and Transmission Provider's
Control Areas and to implement the provisions of the Tariff. Transmission
Provider shall treat this information as confidential and shall not divulge it
to its marketing personnel.
(a) Transmission Customer shall provide by September 1st of each
year Transmission Customer's Network Resource availability
forecast (e.g., all planned resource outages, including off-line
and on-line dates) for the following year for all Network
Resources that are not dispatched by Transmission Provider. Such
forecast shall be made in accordance with Good Utility Practice.
Transmission Customer shall inform Transmission Provider, in a
timely manner, of any changes to Transmission Customer's Network
Resource availability forecast. In the event that Transmission
-12-
Provider determines that such forecast cannot be accommodated
due to a transmission constraint on its Transmission System, and
such constraint may jeopardize the security of the Transmission
System or adversely affect the economic operation of either
Transmission Provider or a Firm Point-to-Point or Network
Integration Transmission Customer, the provisions of Section 32
of the Tariff shall be implemented.
(b) Transmission Customer shall provide, at least 36 hours in
advance of every calendar day, Transmission Customer's best
forecast of any planned outages of Transmission Customer's
non-radial transmission facilities and outages of Network
Resources other than those dispatched by Transmission Provider
and other operating information that the Network Operating
Committee deems appropriate. In the event that such planned
outages cannot be accommodated due to a transmission constraint
on Transmission Provider's Transmission System, the provisions
of Section 33 of the Tariff shall be implemented.
7. Network Planning
In order for Transmission Provider to plan, on an ongoing basis, to meet
Transmission Customer's requirements for Network Integration Transmission
Service, Transmission Customer shall provide, by September 1st of each year,
updated information (current year and 10-year projection) for Network Loads and
Network Resources that are not dispatched by Transmission Provider, as well as
any other
-13-
information reasonably necessary to plan for Network Integration Service. This
type of information is consistent with Transmission Provider's information
requirements for planning to serve its Native Load Customers. The data will be
provided in a format consistent with that used by Transmission Provider.
8. Delivery Points
8.1 Delivery Points. Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer,
during the term of this Agreement, shall remain interconnected. Unless otherwise
mutually agreed upon, Transmission Customer or its Members shall own, operate
and maintain all facilities, except interconnection metering, on Transmission
Customer's side of the delivery points and these facilities shall be operated
and maintained in accordance with Good Utility Practice. Unless otherwise
mutually agreed upon, Transmission Provider shall own, operate and maintain all
facilities on Transmission Provider's side of the delivery points and all
interconnection metering no matter where located. These facilities shall be
operated and maintained in accordance with Good Utility Practice.
8.2 Existing Delivery points. The Network Operating Committee shall from
time to time modify the specifications to the Service Agreement to reflect the
delivery points in service. All existing delivery points are defined as those
points where electric power and energy are transferred as of the effective date
of this Agreement from Transmission Provider's system to facilities owned by
Transmission Customer or one of its members.
-14-
8.3 Modifications to Delivery Points. Where modifications are suggested
for delivery points the Network Operating Committee shall review the suggested
modifications, allocate the costs of the changes between the Parties and, if
necessary, establish a new point in the physical arrangement as the delivery
point. If the change is mutually agreed upon or if the change is reasonably
required for the giving or receiving of adequate service hereunder, the change
will be made with each Party bearing its own costs. Otherwise, the Party
requesting the change shall be fully responsible for the change and shall pay
all costs incurred as the result of such change. Where a delivery point is
discontinued, the costs of removal shall be paid for by the Party initiating the
discontinuance.
8.4 Future Delivery Points. The Network Operating Committee shall
coordinate planning of future delivery points through the following procedure:
Transmission Customer shall determine its needs for future delivery points and
shall give Transmission Provider as much advance notice of its needs as
practicable. The Network Operating Committee shall review Transmission
Customer's plans for reasonableness and consistency with Good Utility Practice.
Transmission Provider may propose appropriate modifications to Transmission
Customer's plans; however, Transmission Provider will not require unreasonable
modifications to Transmission Customer's plans. It is the intent of the Parties
that the number, capacity, and location of future delivery points will result
from a planning process using Good Utility Practice and neither Party shall
request changes or additions which would not be in accordance with this concept.
-15-
In establishing all future delivery points Transmission Customer shall
construct and bear the costs of those facilities necessary to effect
interconnection at the point where Transmission Provider facilities exist or
will exist at the time of the need for the interconnection. Future delivery
points will be established at 115 kV or higher, except in those cases where the
Network Operating Committee, consistent with Good Utility Practice, determines
that service at lower voltage levels is appropriate and Transmission Provider
shall not unreasonably withhold service at such lower voltage levels. The
delivery point will be defined and established by the Network Operating
Committee so that Transmission Provider will, except as noted below, provide and
bear the costs of those facilities on the supply side of the delivery point
including the necessary switching and protective equipment, and Transmission
Customer will provide and bear the costs of those facilities on the load side of
the delivery point including the necessary isolation switching devices and
protective equipment, transformers and lines.
When the need for the future delivery point described by Transmission
Customer could, through Good Utility Practice, be satisfied through the
modification and/or upgrading of Transmission Customer's existing facilities,
but Transmission Customer still desires the future delivery point and
Transmission Provider agrees to supply it, Transmission Customer shall bear the
cost of whatever facilities may be required, including those facilities on the
supply side of the delivery point.
The Parties interpret the Tariff as not requiring System Impact Studies
or Facilities Studies for new delivery points that result from normal load
growth. If the Commission
-16-
requires Transmission Provider to charge itself for studies in conjunction with
new delivery points needed to accommodate Transmission Provider's normal load
growth, Transmission Customer shall pay for studies in comparable circumstances
in conjunction with its own requests for new delivery points.
8.5 Characteristics of Electricity. Except as provided in Section 8.4,
Transmission Provider will furnish at future delivery points three phase, 60
Hertz alternating current electricity at 115 kV or higher or at the nominal
voltage level determined to be appropriate by the Network Operating Committee.
Transmission Provider will continue to furnish at all existing delivery points
three phase, 60 Hertz alternating current electricity at Transmission Provider's
nominal voltage now being furnished as listed in Specifications to the Service
Agreement. Transmission Provider shall operate its system so that Transmission
Customer's voltage at each delivery point is within the range Transmission
Provider would maintain for its own purpose.
8.6 Access at Delivery Points. Transmission Customer and Transmission
Provider will have the right of access at all delivery points and at all remote
delivery point metering locations at reasonable times for the purposes of
reading meters or installing, maintaining, changing or removing any property
they own or for any other proper purpose. The handling of tape cartridges
associated with tape metering at delivery points will be done only by the owner
of the tape meters.
8.7 Notification of System Changes. Transmission Customer shall notify
Transmission Provider in advance, and Transmission Provider shall notify
Transmission
-17-
Customer in advance, of any changes to be made in their respective systems which
will affect the proper coordination of protective devices on the two systems.
Transmission Customer and Transmission Provider shall each be responsible for
selection, installation, adjustment and setting, and maintenance of their own
control and protective equipment. In no case shall operation of this equipment
by either Transmission Provider or Transmission Customer place a burden upon or
cause avoidable interruptions to the other's system.
9. Transfer of Power and Energy Through Other Systems
In accord with regional practices, NERC requirements and the
requirements of the Tariff, to the extent Transmission Provider and Transmission
Customer's use of the Transmission System impacts other electric systems,
Transmission Provider and Transmission Customer shall take actions to relieve
constraints on third party systems as deemed necessary to the reliability and
security of the third party system or the region.
