(Continued)
DEFINITIONS (Continued)
Station Use is electric energy used to operate the Qualifying Facility which Is auxiliary to or directly related to the
generation of electricity and which,but for the generation of electricity,would not be consumed by the Seller.
Supplementary Power Is electric energy or capacity supplied by the Company which Is regularly used by a Seller In
addition to the Energy and Capacity which the Qualifying Facility usually supplies to the Seller.
PURCHASE PRICE
1.Option A -Under this option,the Company will pay the Seller monthly,for each kWh of Energy delivered and
accepted at the Point of Delivery during the preceding calendar month,an amount equal to the Avoided Energy Cost per kWh
for that month.The Avoided Energy Cost will be determined at the end of each calendar month,and will be filed with the
Commission on a semi-annual basis.
2.Option B -Offset Against Retail Sales -Schedules 1 and 7 Only -Facilities Under 100 kW Only Where such
an arrangement can be established in accordance with Prudent Electrical Practices,the Company will offset Energy supplied by
the Seller against the Company’s retail sales of electric energy to the Seller under Schedules 1 and 7.
A.To allow the Company to recover certain non-generation costs,the Company will compute a charge
to be added to the Seller’s monthly retail billing.That additional charge (Monthly Charge)will be computed
as follows:
For PhotoVoltaic (PV)Generation Facilities
Monthly Charge =Net PhotoVoltaic Charge (NPVC)=PVO *(CCER -PVCR)
Where:
Definitions
AEC means monthly Avoided Energy Costs (computed on a five year rolling average basis)
AHS means monthly Average Hours of Sunlight
PVCR means PhotoVoftaic Credit Rate
PVO means PhotoVoltaic Output (a 1000 watt solar unit with a 25%capacity factor has a PVO of 0.25 kW)
CER means Customer Energy Rate (from rate class schedule)
CCER means Converted Customer Energy Rate in mills per kilowatt
NPVC means Net PhotoVoftaic Charge
Equations
PVCR =Average of (AEC *AHS)(units are mills per kilowatt)
CCER =Average of (CER *AHS)(units are mills per kilowatt)
NPVC =PVO *(CCER -PVCR)
The Seller will provide the Company with the expected PVC for the Seller’s PV facility.Upon request,
the Seller will provide data to support the expected PVC.
B.The methodology for determining the Monthly Charge for generation technologies other than PV will
be determined as required.
