of the total number of Scheduled Hours in a year.
Formula:
(Total no. of Hours Complied in a year/total no. of hours scheduled in a year)
x 100 98%
6.2 Once the Reserve Market becomes operational, the Reserve Effectiveness
Factor (REF) may be used by NGCP to gauge the performance of an AS
Provider for its provision of the contracted Ancillary Services
For the purpose of this section,

(a) Hours Complied means an hour where the Service Provider was able to
provide the scheduled AS capacity following the current Dispatch Protocol,
dispatch instruction from System Operator pursuant to the approved NASS, and
the Ancillary Services Standard Technical Requirements.
(b) Scheduled Hours means each hour when the Service Provider was scheduled
to provide AS pursuant to the approved NASS.
Page 18 of 19
Schedule 7 Hydrological Constraints (as applicable for Firm AS for Hydro

plants)
The Service Provider may be exempted from providing the Firm Contracted
Capacity during Hydrological Constraint periods.
Hyrdrological Constraint, for the purposes of this agreement, is defined as instances

when the following conditions occur:
a. The actual water elevation of the _____Reservoir (in masl) is below the rule
curve set by NIA, as outlined in the Water Rule Curve below;
b. The Service Provider notifies NGCP in writing before 2 pm at least one business
day before of their intent to cancel the Firm Contracted Capacity and submits to
NGCP actual water elevation data.
Hydrological Constraint Guidelines

c. Provided that, the following rules and guidelines shall apply during Hydrological
Constraint periods:
i. The Service Provider may only cancel the Firm Contracted Capacity for 24-
hour intervals, starting from 0100h to 2400h of each day. During these sets
of 24 hour intervals, the Service Provider agrees to subject their water
releases to clauses iii, iv, v and vi below.
ii. The Service Provider shall promptly submit to NGCP a list of the water
requirements and volumes of third parties such as the NIA, including the
volume and dates of such water release requirements, including any
updates or revisions.
iii. During the days when the Firm Contract Capacity is cancelled, the Service
Provider shall limit water releases or water use to such water volumes as
required by the NIA, NWRB, System Operator or other third parties whose
orders are beyond the Service Providers control or influence,
iv. That such water releases defined in (iii) may result in electricity generation
which may be sold at the WESM for the Service Providers account,
v. The Service Provider shall provide NGCP a reconciliation within 3 business
days proving that the electricity generations water volume during the
Hydrological Constraint period was equal to the water requirements
ordered by such third parties.
vi. Firm Contracted capacity shall be prioritized over Non-Firm Capacity,
and the Service Provider may not nominate Non-Firm Capacity for any
type of ancillary service when Firm Contracted Capacity is cancelled during
Hydrological Constraint periods,
vii. Failure or breach by the Service Provider of the conditions set forth in
clauses (3) i,iii,iv,v or vi may result in NGCP nullifying the Hydrological
Constraint period and all terms of the Agreement shall retroactively apply
for all intervals as if the Hydrological Constraint period had not existed,
including the provisions under clause 5.2 (Penalty).
Page 19 of 19
Schedule 8 Outage Allowance (as applicable for Firm AS for Thermal plants)
The Service Provider shall be allowed a number of Outage Hours per year, the
aggregate of the Outage Hours shall be called the Outage Allowance. During the
Outage Hours, the Service Provider shall be deemed unavailable; NGCP shall not
schedule the Service Provider for the Firm Contracted Capacity, resulting in non-
payment during such Outage Allowance.
For the purposes of this agreement, an Outage Hour will be defined as a period
where the Service Provider, on a day-ahead basis, informs NGCP that it is unable to
provide the Firm Contracted Capacity, due to outage or maintenance.
The Service Provider shall be allowed an Outage Allowance per year under the
following Schedule:
