6 METERING

1. Metering Partys Obligations

1. The Seller shall, in accordance with Prudent Operating Practice,


supply and install, test and commission the main Metering

15
Standardised PPA for large renewable energy generators (greater than 10 MW)

Equipment and Back up Metering Equipment (Metering System).


The Buyer shall be entitled to attend and witness the testing and
commissioning of the Metering System. Thereafter, the Seller shall
transfer to the Buyer as beneficial owner (and without any
encumbrances) all rights, title and interest in the Back up Metering
Equipment (together with all warranties and guarantees applicable
thereto) and upon such transfer the Buyer shall own and maintain
the Back up metering Equipment while Seller shall own and
maintain the Main Metering Equipment. The Metering System shall
have an accuracy level of 0.5%.
2. Metering and telemetering equipment shall comply with the Buyers
standards and guidelines, be capable of registering and recording
the instantaneous and bidirectional transfer of active and reactive
power, kWh and kVArh, and capable of transmitting such data to
such location(s) as may be specified by the Buyer. The metering
equipment shall be sealable and have mass storage and recording
capability. The Seller shall provide a suitable location for the
metering and telemetering equipment if the Interconnection is at the
Plant.

2. Meter Accuracy
All metering equipment measuring the output of the Plant shall be tested at least every six
months, at the Buyers expense, in accordance with Prudent Operating Practice. At any
reasonable time, either Party may request a test of the accuracy of any metering equipment.
Each Party shall bear the cost of a test requested by it. The results of meter calibrations or
tests shall be available for examination by the Parties at all reasonable times. If, at any time,
any metering equipment is found to be inaccurate by more than one-half of one percent
(0.5%), the Buyer shall cause such metering equipment to be made accurate or replaced as
soon as possible. Each Party shall be given reasonable advance notice of and have the right
to be present at the breaking of the seals, testing, calibration and sealing of meters. If either
Party believes that there has been a meter failure or stoppage, it shall immediately notify the
other Party. The Party owning the meters will then investigate and take corrective action if
necessary.

3. Meter Calibration
Testing and calibration of meters, and any verification of meter accuracy, shall be performed
pursuant to the Buyer metering standards. Calibration shall occur before the first
commissioning date. All meters shall be caused to be sealed and locked by their owner after
calibration.

4. Transfer of Title to Power


At the Delivery Point, Net Electrical Output, and legal title to the same, shall be deemed to be
transferred from the Seller and delivered to the possession of the Buyer. At such point, the
Buyer shall be in exclusive control and possession of the Net Electrical Output and shall be
solely responsible for the same. Such electric energy transferred shall be by alternating
current 3 phase, 50 Hz nominal frequency, at the voltage specified in Appendix C.

5. Meter Reading
The meters shall be read jointly by the Seller and the Buyer monthly on the last day of each
month (or such other day as may be agreed upon by the Parties) for the purposes of
determining the Net Electrical Output delivered into the Buyers System since the preceding

16
Standardised PPA for large renewable energy generators (greater than 10 MW)

reading. The Seller shall provide the Buyer access to the Plant at all reasonable times upon
prior notice for the purpose of reading or inspecting meters, examining the operation of the
Plant or other purposes reasonably related to performance under the terms of this Agreement.
Such access shall not interfere with the Sellers normal business operations. All the Buyer s
personnel shall follow all Plant safety and procedural rules while on the Plant premises.
6. Estimation
In the event that any data required for purpose of determining amounts owed to the Seller or
payment hereunder are unavailable when required, such unavailable data shall be estimated
by the Buyer, subject to any required adjustment based upon actual data in the next
subsequent payment month. A failure of the Buyer to read its meter pursuant to Clause 7.5 of
this section shall not relieve the Buyer of the obligation to pay the Seller at the conclusion of
each month for the energy delivered and accepted as provided herein.

7. Alternative Meter Data


To determine the amount of the Net Electrical Output delivered and accepted in any billing
period, recordation of amounts, billing and payment will be based on the first available of the
following metering or estimation options, in descending order of applicability:
1. The Main Metering Equipment measurement(s) when that meter for
the period at issue satisfies the accuracy standard in Clause 7.2.
2. Back-up Metering Equipment measurement when that secondary
meter is positioned to record the electrical energy delivered and
accepted, and when that meter satisfies the accuracy standard in
Clause 7.2.
3. Where all meters fail to accurately register Net Electrical Output
delivered and accepted, the average monthly data for the Plant from
the same month in the prior Contract Year, if available, as
reasonably adjusted for the particular billing period by any relevant
available data affecting Plant generation regarding resource
availability, hours of operation, time of operation of generators,
and/or native self-use of power output (collectively Operating
Variations) during the period of meter failure, shall be employed, if
applicable, to estimate the amount of electric energy delivered and
accepted. Where such data are not reliably available, the average
monthly Plant Net Electrical Output delivered and accepted during
the previous six (6) billing periods prior to meter failure (or fewer
months of the Plant is less than six months from the Full Commercial
Operation Date), as adjusted or normalized for outages or Operating
Variations, shall be used to estimate energy delivered by the Plant
for the billing period.

7. RECORDS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

1. Each party shall keep complete and accurate records and all other data required by
each of them and by the Energy Regulatory Commission for purpose of proper
administration of this Agreement.
2. Either Party shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior notice to the other Party, to
examine the records and data of the other Party relating to this Agreement or the

17

public domain other than by breach of this Clause, or was already in
the rightful possession of the recipient Party, or was obtained by the
recipient Party in good faith from a third party entitled to disclose it;
2. A Party may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with
any legal requirement to do so, or to consultants or contractors
whose duties reasonably require such disclosure; and
3. A Party may disclose confidential Information, subject to obtaining

APPENDIX F TRANSFER AMOUNT SPECIFIED IN CLAUSE 11.3

Such amount which after deducting any Tax which the Seller must pay on the lump sum
received or which is withheld from such lump sum leaves a net amount equal to the Total
Project Cost (as hereafter defined) where service of the Termination Notice takes place after the
Full Commercial Operations Date, or such portion of the Total Project Cost as will have been
incurred by the Seller up to the date of the Termination Notice, where the Termination Notice is
served before the Full Commercial Operations Date.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the "Total Project Cost" shall mean the total cost (whether
direct, indirect or incidental) of completing the development, design, financing, construction,
installation, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance (other than operation and
maintenance costs incurred in relation to a Unit after such Unit has been Commissioned) of the
Plant (as more particularly set out in the final audited financial model for the Project approved
by the Lenders (the "Audited Financial Model") immediately prior to disbursement of funds to
the Seller, including (without limitation) development, construction and commissioning costs,
financing costs and fees, interest during construction, insurance costs, development fees,
construction management costs, start -up costs and contingencies.

Where service of the Termination Notice takes place after the Full Commercial Operations Date,
the Total Project Cost shall be reduced from the Full Commercial Operation Date by deducting
there from an assumed depreciation rate equivalent to five per cent (5%) per annum (or pro rata
for any part of a year) for each year (or part thereof) from the Full Commercial Operation Date
to the date of the Termination Notice. Where service of the Termination Notice takes place
before the Full Commercial Operations Date no such reduction in the Total Project Cost (by
way of depreciation) shall be made and Total Project Costs shall only be in relation to those
costs which have been incurred as at the date of service of the Termination Notice (whether or
not such costs have become due and payable).
