ATTACHMENT B <br /> MMPA will make payments to the Customer for Zonal Resource Credits and Energy. <br /> MMPA may reduce payments to the Customer or render charges to the Customer for <br /> failure to deliver energy when called upon by MISO. <br /> "Credits" in the form of additional payments may be provided to the Customer in <br /> recognition of any benefits the DG facility provides to the MMPA member distribution <br /> system or to MMPA. <br /> Payments by MMPA to a Customer will be net of the above and made within thirty(30) <br /> days after the end of the month in which service was provided to MMPA. <br /> Zonal Resource Credits <br /> The DG facility may receive recognition for the capacity it may provide to the <br /> MISO system. That recognition is now known as a Zonal Resource Credit(ZRC, <br /> as defined in the MISO rules) and is determined by the facility's Unforced <br /> Capacity(UCAP, as defined in the MISO rules). The UCAP methodology is <br /> implemented to address the fact that not all DG facilities contribute equally to <br /> reliability and will differ according to the resource characteristics of the DG <br /> facility(intermittency, fuel type, etc.). <br /> The UCAP used to determine ZRCs for the DG facility will be based on the <br /> application of then effective MISO rules and the test results for the facility. <br /> In order to maintain one's ZRC benefit, the DG facility must be: <br /> • Claimed only by MMPA, <br /> • Greater or equal to 100kW <br /> • Schedulable by MISO or the Local Balancing Authority (LBA, as defined <br /> in the MISO rules)within 12 hours' notice, <br /> • Able to respond to MISO calls for energy dispatch at least 5 times as <br /> specified by MISO rules for emergency event purposes, and <br /> • Able to sustain energy production for a minimum of 4 consecutive hours. <br /> Additional qualification requirements may apply to the DG facility as listed in the <br /> MISO rules. The DG facility must be reviewed for accreditation as a Load <br /> Modifying Resource on an annual basis. <br /> MMPA shall pay the Customer each month an amount equal to the product of: <br /> (ii) the ZRC quantity of the generator facility as qualified by MISO for <br /> such month, and <br /> 5 <br /> 39 <br />
