El Centro Residential Lead Removal Site, El Centro, CA; Notice of Proposed CERCLA Settlement Agreement for Recovery of Past Response Costs, 42397-42398 [2020-15131]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 14, 2020 / Notices managing the significant fluctuations that are a normal part of their operation. Western-UGP has marketed the maximum practical amount of power from each of its projects, leaving little or no flexibility for provision of additional power services. Consequently, WesternUGP will not regulate for the difference between the output of an intermittent resource located within the WAUW and a delivery schedule from that generator serving load located outside of the WAUW. Intermittent resources serving load outside Western-UGP’s WAUW will be required to be pseudo-tied or dynamically scheduled to another Balancing Authority Area. An intermittent resource, for the limited purpose of this Rate Schedule, is an electric generator that is not dispatchable and cannot store its fuel source and, therefore, cannot respond to changes in demand or respond to transmission security constraints. Formula Rate (A) In the event that Western-UGP does not participate in a Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market in the WAUW as the Balancing Authority, or such energy imbalance market is unable to provide the total energy imbalance requirements for certain loads and generation within the Balancing Authority Area: For deviations within +/¥1.5 percent (with a minimum of 2 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of the SPP Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be netted on a monthly basis and settled financially, at the end of the month, at 100 percent of the average incremental cost. Deviations greater than +/¥1.5 percent up to 7.5 percent (or greater than 2 MW up to 10 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of the SPP Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be settled financially, at the end of each month. When energy delivered in a schedule hour from the generation resource is less than the energy scheduled, the charge is 110 percent of incremental cost. When energy delivered from the generation resource is greater than the scheduled amount, the credit is 90 percent of the incremental cost. Deviations greater than +/¥7.5 percent (or 10 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of the SPP Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be settled at 125 percent of VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:58 Jul 13, 2020 Jkt 250001 Western-UGP’s highest incremental cost for the day when energy delivered in a schedule hour is less than the energy scheduled or 75 percent of WesternUGP’s lowest daily incremental cost when energy delivered from the generation resource is greater than the scheduled amount. As an exception, an intermittent resource will be exempt from this deviation band and will pay the deviation band charges for all deviations greater than the larger of 1.5 percent or 2 MW. Deviations from scheduled transactions responding to directives by the Transmission Provider, a Balancing Authority, or a reliability coordinator will not be subject to the deviation bands identified above and, instead, will be settled financially, at the end of the month, at 100 percent of incremental cost. Such directives may include instructions to correct frequency decay, respond to a reserve sharing event, or change output to relieve congestion. Western-UGP’s incremental cost will be based upon a representative hourly energy index or combination of indexes. The index to be used will be posted on the applicable SPP website and Western-UGP’s Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS) at least 30 days before use for determining the Western-UGP incremental cost and will not be changed more often than once per year unless Western-UGP determines that the existing index is no longer a reliable price index. The pricing and charge for deviations in the deviation bandwidths is as specified above. Data used and the charges resulting from using this formula will be posted on the applicable SPP website and Western-UGP’s OASIS. (B) In the event that Western-UGP participates in a Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market in the WAUW as the Balancing Authority: Charges to the SPP Transmission Customer will reflect only the passthrough of the applicable charges associated with the Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market assessed to Western-UGP as the WAUW Balancing Authority for embedded load and/or generation in the WAUW of such SPP Transmission Customer that does not make adequate alternate arrangements in such Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market or other alternative comparable arrangements pursuant to the SPP Tariff to satisfy its Generator Imbalance Service obligation. Western-UGP will post notice on the applicable SPP website and WesternUGP’s OASIS, and also notify existing PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42397 Transmission Customers, at least 30 days before Western-UGP participates in a Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market, as the Balancing Authority. Western-UGP will also post information related to the charges assessed by the market operator for Generator Imbalance Service in the WAUW under such Western Interconnection energy imbalance service market. Data used and the charges resulting from using this formula will be posted on the applicable SPP website and Western-UGP’s OASIS.
