Forced Outage Rate definition

Forced Outage Rate means the hours a generating unit, transmission line, or other facility is removed from service, divided by the sum of the hours it is removed from service plus the total number of hours the facility was connected to the electricity system expressed as a percent. (See North American Electric Reliability Council - “Glossary of Terms” August 1996.)

Forced Outage Rate means the equivalent demand forced outage rate of a Unit, representing the number of hours such Unit is not available to run or is limited in its run capacity compared to the number of hours the Unit is available to run at full capacity while in demand, as more particularly defined by the RTO in which a Unit is located or, if not defined by the RTO, by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation or any successor thereto. For example, a Forced Outage Rate of two percent means a Unit is unavailable to run two percent of its potential running time. The Forced Outage Rate of a Unit will be as determined by the applicable RTO or, if the RTO does not calculate the Forced Outage Rate for generating units within its footprint, by MRES based on information provided by Municipality.
