RE: Proposed First Amendment to Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited (Agenda Item #05 C.2)
ATTACHMENTS: A. Proposed First Amendment to Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited
B. Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited; Schedule A.1 Statement of Work for Data Analytics Platform; Schedule A.2 Statement of Work for Customer
Relationship Management
C. Schedule A.3 Statement of Work for Data Analytics Platform; Schedule A.4 Statement of Work for Customer Relationship Management
D. Schedule A.5 Statement of Work for Data Analytics Platform; Schedule A.6 Statement of Work for Customer Relationship Management
Dear Technical Committee Members:

Summary: MCE has been working to create a comprehensive cloud-based data management platform, owned and operated by MCE, consisting of two broader services – a Data Analytics Platform (DAP) and a Customer Relationship Management Platform (CRM). On April 13, 2021, this Committee approved the Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited. This umbrella agreement allowed for phases 2 - 4 (captured in Schedules A.1-A.6 Statements of Work) of the data management platform project to be completed during the last year. In these phases, R Systems:

MCE I My co~munity.

My choice.
• Created a robust data processing solution for weekly customer data that MCE receives from PG&E with an end-to-end automated process flow in consuming, ingesting, and preparing the analytic-ready stage within the DAP; • Supported the certified and quality-assured data;
• Provided data feeds to MCE’s CRM;
• Built the base structure and functionality for MCE's CRM, which supports specific use cases defined by the Public Affairs Team;
• Established a regular syncing process between DAP and CRM; • Built MCE’s CRM as a user interface to view, report and maintain customer-centric information; and
• Integrated MCE’s programs with customer data.

MCE is proposing to continue working with R Systems through a First Amendment to Master Services Agreement (Proposed Amendment) to complete the overall data management platform project which would include additional phases for the DAP and CRM. As each phase is completed, MCE will work with R Systems to finalize the scope of the next phase and execute a Statement of Work for that next phase within the approved not-to-exceed amounts.

DAP
The DAP is a robust platform that supports data storage, data warehousing, data analytics, reporting needs, and serves as a central and secure repository of all MCE data. The following DAP functionalities were built out in the phases that have been completed by R Systems:
• Customer attribute data;
• Monthly and interval electricity and gas usage data;
• Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) data;
• Interconnection data;
• Customer segmentation; and
• Distributed energy resources support and management.

If the Proposed Amendment is approved by this Committee, the DAP could be further developed over the next 12 months with the following additional functionalities:
• Additional customer information such as opt-outs and opt-ins; • Business driven dashboards for critical operational insights; ---
• Support data needs for new projects; and
• Support customer data beyond 3 years.

CRM
Using MCE customer data housed in the DAP, MCE’s CRM currently serves as the primary system for accessing customer information. The following CRM functionalities were built out in the phases that have been completed by R Systems:
• Customer characteristics (name, address, enrollment details); • Customer electricity usage summaries;
• Customer billing summaries;
• Dynamically updated “Top 250” reporting;
• Internally derived customer metrics (usage intensity, etc.); • Account hierarchies;
• Case management;
• Third party customer data (tax assessor, sunroof, etc.); • Customer program participation; and
• Platform for supporting Customer Service Representatives (CSRs).

If the Proposed Amendment is approved by this Committee, the CRM could be further developed over the next 12 months with the following additional functionalities:
• Integration of MCE telephony system into the CRM to increase workflow efficiency of MCE CSRs;
• Ability to view and record prior activities on customer accounts taken from both the Calpine CRM platform and the MCE CRM;
• Ability to view PG&E “blue bills” connected to each customer; • If approved, the MCE CRM would become the System of Record and the Single Source of Truth and provide a 360-degree view when it comes to MCE Customers; and
• Provide the Customer Care and Engagement team tools to track, assess, record and convert leads and opportunities into projects.

The Agreement
The Proposed Amendment would extend the term of the current agreement for an additional year and add an additional $700,000 to the not-to-exceed amount. If approved, MCE could continue to enhance the functionality of DAP and CRM in the next phases. The Proposed Amendment would allow for MCE’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer to approve additional statements of work within the overall not-to-exceed amount so that the data management platform project can continue without interruption. Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,250,000 for the continuation of DAP and CRM development in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23. This represents an increase of $700,000 over the existing agreement with R Systems.

Fiscal Impacts: Net increase in contract amount of $700,000. Costs incurred in FY 2021/22 are captured in the FY 2021/22 Operating Fund Budget. Costs related to the Proposed Amendment are included in the Proposed FY 2022/23 Operating Fund Budget.

Recommendation: Approve the proposed First Amendment to Master Services Agreement with R Systems International Limited.

Limited; Schedule A.1 and A.2 shall create any legal or contractual relationship between MCE and any Subcontractor, and no subcontract shall relieve Contractor of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement. Contractor's obligation to pay its Subcontractors is an independent obligation from MCE’s obligation to make payments to Contractor. As a result, MCE shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any monies to any Subcontractor.

1.1 Project Lifecycle
This Project will be implemented in concurrence with Agile methodology framework.

1.1.1 Project Standard Operating Procedures
The following section will define roles and responsibilities of Implementer for the Project  We will create user stories based on the requirements shared by MCE  We will follow Source Code versioning standards as defined by MCE  Our team will be responsible for Code reviews before deployments  We will be responsible for Solution Design, development activities, unit testing  We will ensure adherence to Salesforce coding standards and subsequent coding best practices  Deployment to be undertaken by the Implementer along with publishing a consolidated list of deployment artefacts at end of each sprint
 MCE Business Team to provide written user acceptance testing sign-off prior to Production deployment  We will provide following set of documents at the time of Project completion including but not limited to:
 Technical Implementation details
 Architectural Limitations details (if any)
 Deployment Document
 Change Log
 We will provide 2 weeks of Post Go Live warranty support  MCE to provide Project Completion Certificate Post Go Live  We will provide user training as required by MCE

1.1.2 Quality Assurance Scope
The responsibility for Quality Assurance will be with MCE which should include but not limited to:
 Validate and sign off acceptance criteria for each story  Smoke and Sanity checks at end of each deployment cycle  Regression testing at point of delivery of each sprint increment  Establish a bug tracking interface and turnaround cadence  Publish a fully detailed test case repository on any tool as chosen by MCE  Publish a passing percentage report for each sprint increment

1.2 General Scope and Deliverable
CRM Setup & Security
The Salesforce setup will encompass the following artifacts:
d. User Profiles & Permission Sets
Profiles in Salesforce defines the tasks an authorized user that can perform in the system. It also controls what data they can or cannot see. Permission Sets open additional access that is required by only a specific sub-set of users underneath a common / different profile(s).

The Implementer will build upon the basic structure created in Phase 1 to be more specific, as needed, per MCE’s requirements. e. User Roles
The Implementer will modify the user role hierarchy structure in Salesforce, as needed. Role Hierarchy can be used with Organization-Wide Security settings to determine the levels of access that users have to your CRM org’s data. Roles within the hierarchy affect access on key components such as records and reports.
f. User Credentials
The Implementer will modify each user to unique username, password, and Profile, as needed. This deliverable will include creating Salesforce Users for identified MCE Resources.

DocuSign Envelope ID: EA5A026D-8E1A-4F8C-ACF3-40D29E0FF1C2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 733A5806-E6F8-4832-85F6-00E8E7B1432B AI#05_C.2_Att. B_MSA w/ R Systems Intl. Limited; Schedule A.1 and A.2 g. Organization-Wide Security
The org-wide sharing defaults will set the baseline access for records. This allows controlling visibility of record rows based on Record Ownership. It allows controlling access to an Object’s records by setting them as Full control to Owner, Read Only for Everyone except Owner, Read Write for Everyone, etc. It also allows opening record access to Salesforce users above the Owner in the Role Hierarchy.

The Implementer will build upon the basic structure created in Phase 1 to be more specific, as needed, per MCE’s requirements.

Powerpath Instance Migration To CRM
 R Systems will continue the work started in Phase 1 to complete the integration of POWERPATH into the CRM, functionality and data migration.
 Review POWERPATH Architecture for future enhancements to work seamlessly with other changes. This involves analysis of how POWERPATH is setup and capturing / identifying the Data Points captured by Aiqueous. These will be documented for replication in CRM system
 Production Migration & Go-Live plan and documentation SalesForce Marketing Cloud Integration
As part of this project, the Implementer will perform real time integration of Marketing Cloud with Salesforce to allow it to reference the data stored natively in Salesforce objects of Accounts, Leads, Contacts and other Custom objects for running the Campaigns. The integration will be done using third party integration tools that MCE will procure.

R Systems will implement the following Marketing Cloud functionality  Campaigns & Metrics  Custom Fields – Birthdays/Anniversaries & Bounce Data/Reasons  Leads & Contacts  Accounts & Person Accounts

 Contacts that are only in the Calpine CRM
 Migrate from 4013 Customer data in the MCE data warehouse as needed, to support new and modified functionality  Migrate and integrate customer usage data
 Migrate or link to data specific to customer billing, including pdfs of customer bills  When needed, restructure data structure in the CRM architecture to support new and modified functionality, to include remigration of data if needed
 Up to 10 Dashboards with Metrics (only based on available data in MCE CRM and within CRM limits)  Up to 15 reports (only based on available data in MCE CRM and within CRM limits)  Set up complex Roles and permissions to support different groups of users having different data access needs, including within departments, as needed
 Set up new Account Record types, with different data sets within objects, as needed  PMP Migration to Production and Integration to other teams  Migrate activity data for all Accounts
 Create Custom Component to show more than 8 columns for the historical data  Field level history tracking for beyond 18 months of history for other objects  Marketing Cloud integration to CRM (Service Cloud Setup to Marketing Cloud)  Bidirectional updates between MCE’s CRM and MCE’s data warehouse (Leveraging middleware tool like Mulesoft/Boomi)  Setup customer energy profiles
 R Systems will design a process by which new contacts that are communicated to the CRM through automated means (i.e.

Formstack) do not direcly create Contact records, but rather are set to be procssed by MCE to determine if these are new or exisitng Contacts.
 Modify current DW to CRM integration to account for the correct interpretations of “Closed” accounts  Analyze and implement a method to make visible to the end-user customers’ changes for Opt-In, Opt-out, Opt-up, and Opt-down

1.4 Deployment
For Phase 2 the following environment will be provisioned:

PROD ENVIRONMENT
The development will start in a sandbox environment and once the user acceptance training (“UAT”) is complete, all changes will be pushed into production.

DEV ENVIRONMENT

1.4.1 Discovery Process
For each Discovery Phase R Systems will engage with a stakeholder identified by MCE. This engagement will be over daily scheduled calls between the MCE Stakeholder and R Systems at a mutually acceptable time.

MCE Stakeholders will be responsible for sharing the Business processes and Security considerations required. As part of the discussions, R Systems will document and prepare:
a) A System Requirement Specification Document (SRS) capturing the requested Business processes and Security considerations for review and approval by MCE stakeholders. This SRS will be considered as an Epic. b) Individual user stories under the Epic by breaking the SRS into small, manageable, and trackable development pieces. Each User Story will include but not be limited to:
a. Schema Changes (Custom Objects & Fields)
b. Display Layout Changes (Page Layouts)
c. Security Changes (Field Level Security, Organization Wide Sharing Settings, Profile Access, Sharing Rules) d. Business Processes (Validation Rules, Automations)
e. Acceptance Criteria which will define Definition of Done (DoD) which will be pre-signed off by the MCE Stakeholder to freeze the requirement of each ticket.
f. Each story will be recorded as a project backlog.
g. These stories will be planned for each Sprint Milestone as part of the details outlined in Section Error! Reference source not found.

R Systems will be documenting the above in a Tool provided and approved by MCE. MCE stakeholder will be responsible for signing off on the Acceptance Criteria for each story documented in the tool (Jira / Asana / Trello / Any other tool proposed by MCE).

1.4.2 Quality Assurance Process
The Quality Assurance process will be MCE’s Responsibility. The scope of this process will include details laid out under Section 1.1.2 Quality Assurance Scope.

The following process will be followed per Sprint:
a) R Systems will develop individual user stories defined in the Discovery Phase in Developer Sandboxes and perform unit testing to ensure that the stories meet the defined Acceptance Criteria. b) R Systems will then deploy changes for individual user stories to QA Sandbox thereby making these changes available for MCE’s QA team to validate.
c) MCE’s QA team will test these deployed user stories as per the QA scope and ensure that all the parameters laid out under the Acceptance criteria are met.
d) In case any deviation is identified, QA Team will raise appropriate Bug / Enhancement Tickets for the Development team to fix either as part of the current Sprint or as part of the upcoming Sprint. e) Once all laid out parameters for the story are met, the QA Team will be responsible to mark the Story as QA Complete f) Any Change Requests identified during QA Testing, will be logged as a separate User Story (Enhancement), and will be placed in the Project Backlog. R Systems will be responsible to perform Effort estimations to evaluate if it can be absorbed as part of this project’s scope or taken up as a future project.

1.4.3 Project Planning & Coordination
At project kick-off, R Systems will engage all the stakeholders responsible for implementation of the project. The stakeholders including MCE’s designee will be involved in the initial project planning and shall be kept in consultation and with information while monitoring the progress and refining the plans and documents across different phases in consultation. The R Systems Project Manager will be responsible for managing the activities identified during Discovery and support R Systems in the execution of the project and for coordinating the response to the queries raised by R Systems during the project.

1.4.5 User Acceptance Testing
The testing will be based on an acceptance test plan, prepared by the MCE Technology and Analytics team and other designated members. The prime objective of user acceptance testing is to allow the users to test the complete Request Tracking Systems (RTS) built on Salesforce ensure that it satisfies the business objectives and requirements that were originally mentioned in the RFO and validated later during phase one with the users. The users are responsible for testing the application; the role of R Systems’ team is to support. Before this test can begin, the following activities would need to be completed beforehand:
 Conversion & migration of existing data to new system that serves two purposes, viz. validating data conversion and testing via real data
 Creation of user acceptance test (UAT) case
 Use of bug tracking system to log and monitor identified bugs. Test cases would be repeated till the program successfully passes the test cases
 Creation of Test Report and a joint review meet by R Systems, at the conclusion of UAT phase, to discuss the UAT Report  All bugs will be resolved prior to UAT completion. Successful completion of a UAT marks acceptance of the Request Tracking system, and any other new implementations

1.4.6 Knowledge Transfer & Training
For all 14 weeks of the R Systems Project Manager along with the team will perform a knowledge transfer to MCE. The knowledge transfer will involve:
 Delivering a written comprehensive plan that outlines all elements of the knowledge transfer  Providing MCE representatives access to all development, testing, staging, and other environments needed to support the Salesforce enhancements
 Providing MCE IT Staff training on Salesforce enhancements at the conclusion of each iteration cycle and no less than one training session a month.
 Providing execution and control status of knowledge transfer at the end of each development sprint cycle/iteration. As requested by MCE Manager of Technology and Analytics, R Systems will provide execution and control status of knowledge transfer in weekly status reports
 Delivering a written report along with a presentation to MCE on lessons learned on the knowledge transfer process  Ensuring a successful knowledge transfer to MCE at the end of each iteration. Successful completion of knowledge transfer requires a formal MCE acceptance in writing. A successful knowledge transfer includes delivery of desk procedures, user guides on software updates, maintenance, and operations

1.5 High Level Project Schedule

TO: MCE Technical Committee
FROM: Alexandra McGee, Manager of Strategic Initiatives RE: MCE Resiliency Fund Expenditure for Vulnerable, Critical Needs Customers (#05 C.3)
Dear Technical Committee Members:

SUMMARY:

On November 21, 2019, your Board approved the creation of a Resiliency Fund with initial funding in the amount of $3,000,000. The creation of this fund was in large part a response to PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. These events significantly impact the safety, reliability, health and welfare of our customers, and disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. In March 2020, MCE’s Executive Committee approved a portion of these funds to invest in high quality, off-grid batteries to improve resiliency for our customers dependent on electrical medical devices for their functional and access needs. By providing clean technology alternatives, this investment minimized the need for those customers to purchase carbon-emitting generators and fossil-fuel technologies.

In 2020 staff used a portion of these funds to purchase 100 of Goal Zero’s Yeti 3000X batteries as a turnkey resiliency solution for customers for whom outages posed a medical risk. This portable lithium battery provides 3kWh of storage, 2000W of continuous power, and a 3500W surge for running high-power devices as back-up power. Depending on the medical device it is powering, it can generally run for 1-2 days after a full charge from a standard electrical outlet in 14 hours. The battery is rated for 500 cycles to 80% of its original capacity and over 2000 cycles in its life cycle.

These batteries were offered at no-cost to qualifying customers who applied via the intake form hosted by the California Foundation for Independent Living. These applications were then segmented out to the three Centers for Independent Living (CIL) operating in MCE’s communities – the Marin Center for Independent Living, the Independent Living Resources of Solano and Contra Costa, and the Disability Services and Legal Center of Napa County.

MCE I My co~munity.

My choice.

Batteries were provided to these CILs depending on the proportional concentration of eligible customers in their service areas as well as the capacity of each of these CILs to receive and distribute the batteries. Creative solutions were found for delivery, including tapping into emergency COVID-19 transportation resources offered by the Developmental Disabilities Council in Contra Costa County. These batteries went to help a whole range of people dependent on various devices, including a heart run on electricity (at 6:03 here) creating a lifeline for people during emergency situations.

Given the success of the program and the continued need for resiliency support for our most vulnerable customers, staff is proposing to replicate this effort with a slightly different implementation. This year, we can use stronger data to pinpoint customers most likely to suffer an outage and have negotiated an opportunity for direct delivery rather than coordinating a network of partners to distribute a bulk purchase.

For this 2022 proposal, MCE staff is defining vulnerable customers include low-income customers, those with critical medical needs that could become life threatening without power, and those who have experienced multiple outages in the last two years. The following data represent customers who are both on a low-income rate (CARE or FERA) as well as on the Medical Baseline program, and who have experienced two or more outages since 2019.

Unincorporated Napa – 54
Calistoga – 28
Unincorporated Marin – 21
Unincorporated Contra Costa – 3
Due to disrupted supply chains and global freight challenges, the costs of the Yeti 3000X has increased from our 2020 negotiation of $2,100/unit+ tax and shipping.

However, if a purchase order can be made before March 15, staff has negotiated a new deal with Goal Zero to lock in the current wholesale prices. Based on best current estimates, this is anticipated to be $2550/battery unit, plus $240 in California sales tax and $45 for freight, a total estimated cost of $2,835 for a single unit delivered to the customer. Compared to the retail rate of $3,399.95 + taxes and freight, this represents a savings of roughly $850 per unit or a combined savings of roughly $85,000 for all 100 units.

Goal Zero has committed to honoring this price even for all individual deliveries. This would allow for customers to receive the batteries directly rather than coordinating different partners for transport. This special price goes up by $75/unit for orders made after March 15.

Fiscal Impacts: Expenditures related to the referenced purchase would be funded completely from the Board-approved FY2021/22 MCE Resiliency Fund.

Recommendation: Approve the expenditure of $300,000 to purchase up to 100 Yeti 3000X batteries and to compensate participating community partners to provide off-grid resiliency to MCE’s most vulnerable customers during grid outages.

RE: Power Purchase Agreements with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (Agenda Item #06)
ATTACHMENTS: A. Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW)
B. Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (.24 MW)

Dear Technical Committee Members:

Background:

In June 2018, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued Decision (D.)18-06-027, creating new programs to promote the installation of renewable generation among residential customers in disadvantaged communities (DACs). The programs include the DAC Green Tariff (DAC-GT) and the Community Solar Green Tariff (CS-GT) programs.

MCE filed its Implementation Advice Letter with the CPUC on May 7, 2020 requesting approval to administer DAC-GT and CS-GT programs, and received approval on April 15, 2021. MCE uses the customer facing program names, Green Access for DAC-GT and Community Solar Connection for CS-GT.

The Green Access and Community Solar Connection programs are both designed to provide a 100% renewable energy service option with a 20% electricity bill discount to eligible customers living within a DAC designated as in the top quartile (25%) by CalEnviroScreen. The Green Access program allows MCE to build up to 4.64 MW of new build solar within PG&E’s service territory to serve customers that meet income eligibility requirements. The Community Solar Connection program allows MCE to build up to 1.28 MW of local, community-based solar that is located within MCE’s service territory and within five miles of the subscribing customers’ DAC census tract.

Summary of Procurement Activity:

MCE issued a solicitation in August 2021, for new build solar to serve the Green Access and MCE I My co~munity.

My choice.

Community Solar Connection programs. The solicitation concluded in November and resulted in offers for the Green Access program, however no offers were received for the Community Solar Connection program. The top ranked offers for the Green Access program were the Conflitti solar projects, which consist of; 1) a 4.4 MW solar facility and 2) an adjacent .24 MW solar facility, both with CES Electron Farm One, LLC. The combined total capacity of these two projects fills MCE’s Green Access program capacity. MCE is requesting Technical Committee approval of two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) resulting from its 2021 solicitation.

The Conflitti solar projects are being developed by White Pine Development, LLC and are located in Fresno County. The Conflitti offers were the lowest price bids and the 4.4 MW resource was the only offer able to obtain Full Capacity Deliverability Status (FCDS). FCDS enables the facility to provide Resource Adequacy value.

Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product during any period of scheduled maintenance on the Facility previously agreed to between Buyer and Seller, provided that, between June 1st and September 30th, Seller shall not schedule non-emergency maintenance that reduces the Energy generation of the Facility by more than ten percent (10%), unless (i) such outage is required to avoid damage to the Facility, (ii) such AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 29 maintenance is necessary to maintain equipment warranties and cannot be scheduled outside the period of June 1st to September 30th, (iii) such outage for inspection, preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, or in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices, or (iv) the Parties agree otherwise in writing (each of the foregoing, a “Planned Outage”). (b) Forced Facility Outage. Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product during any Forced Facility Outage. Seller shall provide Buyer with Notice and expected duration (if known) of any Forced Facility Outage.
(c) System Emergencies and other Interconnection Events. Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product during any period of System Emergency, Buyer Curtailment Period or upon Notice of a Curtailment Order pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Interconnection Agreement or applicable tariff.
(d) Force Majeure Event. Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product during any Force Majeure Event.
(e) Health and Safety. Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product as necessary to maintain health and safety pursuant to Section 6.16.2.

4.6 Scheduling Coordinator Responsibilities. Buyer shall be the Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility and shall perform such responsibilities in accordance with requirements set forth in Exhibit D.

4.7 WREGIS. Seller shall at its sole expense, take all actions and execute all documents or instruments necessary to ensure that all WREGIS Certificates associated with all Renewable Energy Credits corresponding to all Facility Energy are issued and tracked for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the California Renewables Portfolio Standard and transferred in a timely manner to Buyer for Buyer’s sole benefit. Seller shall transfer the Renewable Energy Credits to Buyer. Seller shall comply with all Laws, including the WREGIS Operating Rules, regarding the certification and transfer of such WREGIS Certificates to Buyer and Buyer shall be given sole title to all such WREGIS Certificates. In addition:
(a) Prior to the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall register the Facility with WREGIS and establish an account with WREGIS (“Seller’s WREGIS Account”), which Seller shall maintain until the end of the Delivery Term. Seller shall transfer the WREGIS Certificates using “Forward Certificate Transfers” (as described in the WREGIS Operating Rules) from Seller’s WREGIS Account to the WREGIS account(s) of Buyer or the account(s) of a designee that Buyer identifies by Notice to Seller (“Buyer’s WREGIS Account”). Seller shall be responsible for all expenses associated with registering the Facility with WREGIS, establishing and maintaining Seller’s WREGIS Account, paying WREGIS Certificate issuance and transfer fees, and transferring WREGIS Certificates from Seller’s WREGIS Account to Buyer’s WREGIS Account.
(b) Seller shall cause Forward Certificate Transfers to occur on a monthly basis in accordance with the certification procedure established by the WREGIS Operating Rules. Since WREGIS Certificates will only be created for whole MWh amounts of Facility Energy generated, AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 30 any fractional MWh amounts (i.e., kWh) will be carried forward until sufficient generation is accumulated for the creation of a WREGIS Certificate.
(c) Seller shall, at its sole expense, ensure that the WREGIS Certificates for a given calendar month correspond with the Facility Energy for such calendar month as evidenced by the Facility’s metered data.
(d) Due to the ninety (90) day delay in the creation of WREGIS Certificates relative to the timing of invoice payment under Section 8.2, Buyer shall make an invoice payment for a given month in accordance with Section 8.2 before the WREGIS Certificates for such month are formally transferred to Buyer in accordance with the WREGIS Operating Rules and this Section 4.7. Notwithstanding this delay, Buyer shall have all right and title to all such WREGIS Certificates upon payment to Seller in accordance with Section 8.2. (e) A “WREGIS Certificate Deficit” means any deficit or shortfall in WREGIS Certificates delivered to Buyer for a calendar month as compared to the Facility Energy for the same calendar month (“Deficient Month”) caused by an error or omission of Seller. If any WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused, or the result of any action or inaction by Seller, then the amount of Facility Energy in the Deficient Month shall be reduced on a one-for-one basis by the amount of the WREGIS Certificate Deficit for purposes of calculating Buyer’s payment to Seller under Article 8 for the applicable Contract Year. Without limiting Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.7, if a WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused solely by an error or omission of WREGIS, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to cause WREGIS to correct its error or omission. (f) If WREGIS changes the WREGIS Operating Rules after the Effective Date or applies the WREGIS Operating Rules in a manner inconsistent with this Section 4.7 after the Effective Date, the Parties promptly shall modify this Section 4.7 as reasonably required to cause and enable Seller to transfer to Buyer’s WREGIS Account a quantity of WREGIS Certificates for each given calendar month that corresponds to the Facility Energy in the same calendar month.

4.8 Guaranteed Energy Production. Seller shall be required to deliver to Buyer no less than the Guaranteed Energy Production in each Performance Measurement Period. For purposes of determining whether Seller has achieved the Guaranteed Energy Production, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered to Buyer (i) any Deemed Delivered Energy and (ii) Energy in the amount it could reasonably have delivered to Buyer but was prevented from delivering to Buyer by reason of Force Majeure Events, System Emergency, Curtailment Periods, Buyer Default, and Buyer Curtailment Periods (the “Adjusted Energy Production”). If Seller fails to achieve the Guaranteed Energy Production amount in any Performance Measurement Period, Seller shall pay Buyer damages calculated in accordance with Exhibit G.

4.9 Financial Statements. In the event a Guaranty is provided as Performance Security in lieu of cash or a Letter of Credit, Seller shall provide to Buyer, or cause the Guarantor to provide to Buyer, unaudited quarterly and annual audited financial statements of the Guarantor (including a balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows), all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied.

4.10 Interconnection. The Facility shall interconnect at the Interconnection Point and AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 31 Seller shall be responsible for all costs of interconnecting the Facility to the Interconnection Point.

Seller shall ensure during the Test Energy period and throughout the Delivery Term that (a) the Facility will have an interconnection agreement providing for interconnection capacity available or allocable to the Facility that is no less than the Guaranteed Capacity and (b) Seller shall have sufficient interconnection capacity and rights under such interconnection agreement to interconnect the Facility with the CAISO-Controlled Grid, to fulfill Seller’s obligations under the Agreement, including with respect to Resource Adequacy, and to allow Buyer’s dispatch rights of the Facility to be fully reflected in the CAISO’s market optimization (collectively, the “Dedicated Interconnection Capacity”). Seller shall hold Buyer harmless from any penalties, imbalance energy charges, or other costs from CAISO or under the Agreement resulting from Seller’s inability to provide the Dedicated Interconnection Capacity.

4.11 Green e-Certification. Upon request of Buyer, Seller shall submit, a Green-e® Energy Tracking Attestation Form (“Attestation”) for Product delivered under this Agreement to the Center for Resource Solutions (“CRS”) at https://www.tfaforms.com/4652008 or its successor and shall be submitted both prior to COD and within sixty (60) days of the last day of the month in which the energy from the Project was generated The Attestation shall be submitted in accordance with the requirements of CRS and shall be submitted both prior to COD and on a monthly basis no later than sixty (60) days after the last day of the month in which the applicable Facility Energy was generated.

If a Party is required to remit or pay Taxes that are the other Party’s responsibility hereunder, such Party shall promptly pay the Taxes due and then seek and receive reimbursement from the other for such Taxes. In the event any sale of Product hereunder is exempt from or not subject to any particular Tax, Buyer shall provide Seller with all necessary documentation within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to evidence such exemption or exclusion. If Buyer does not provide such documentation, then Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any liability with respect to Taxes from which Buyer claims it is exempt.

5.2 Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate to minimize tax exposure; provided, however, that neither Party shall be obligated to incur any financial burden for which the other Party is responsible hereunder. All Energy delivered by Seller to Buyer hereunder shall be sales for resale, with Buyer reselling such Energy.

7.1 Metering. Seller shall measure the amount of Facility Energy using the Facility Meter, which will be subject to adjustment in accordance with applicable CAISO meter requirements and Prudent Industry Practices, including to account for Electrical Losses and Station Use. All meters will be operated pursuant to applicable CAISO-approved calculation methodologies and maintained as Seller’s cost. Subject to meeting any applicable CAISO requirements, the meters shall be programmed to adjust for all losses from such meter to the Delivery Point in a manner subject to Buyer’s prior written approval. Metering will be consistent with the Metering Diagram set forth as Exhibit M. Each meter shall be kept under seal, such seals to be broken only when the meters are to be tested, adjusted, modified or relocated. In the event Seller breaks a seal, Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as practicable. In addition, Seller hereby agrees to provide all meter data to Buyer in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and consents to Buyer obtaining from CAISO the CAISO meter data directly relating to the Facility and all inspection, testing and calibration data and reports. Seller and Buyer, or Buyer’s Scheduling Coordinator, shall cooperate to allow both Parties to retrieve the meter reads from the CAISO Market Results Interface – Settlements (MRI-S) (or its successor) or directly from the CAISO meter(s) at the Facility.

7.2 Meter Verification. If Seller has reason to believe there may be a meter malfunction, or upon Buyer’s reasonable request, Seller shall test the meter. The tests shall be conducted by independent third parties qualified to conduct such tests. Buyer shall be notified seven (7) days in advance of such tests and have a right to be present during such tests. If a meter is inaccurate it shall be promptly repaired or replaced.

ARTICLE 8
INVOICING AND PAYMENT; CREDIT

8.1 Invoicing. After the end of each month of the Delivery Term, Seller shall send a detailed invoice to Buyer for the amount due for Product delivered during such month. The invoice AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 33 shall reflect the CAISO T+9 settlement information and shall include all information necessary to confirm the amount due. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the invoice within five (5) Business Days after the CAISO T+9 settlement information becomes available.

8.2 Payment. Buyer shall make payment to Seller for Product by wire transfer or ACH payment to the bank account designated by Seller in Exhibit N, which may be updated by Seller by Notice hereunder. Buyer shall pay undisputed invoice amounts within thirty (30) Days from the invoice date. If such due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, such due date shall be the next Business Day. Payments made after the due date will be considered late and will bear interest on the unpaid balance. If the amount due is not paid on or before the due date or if any other payment that is due and owing from one Party to another is not paid on or before its applicable due date, a late payment charge shall be applied to the unpaid balance and shall be added to the next billing statement. Such late payment charge shall be calculated based on the 3-Month prime rate (or any equivalent successor rate accepted by a majority of major financial institutions) published on the date of the invoice in The Wall Street Journal (or, if The Wall Street Journal is not published on that day, the next succeeding date of publication), plus two percent (2%) (the “Interest Rate”).

If the due date occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, the late payment charge shall begin to accrue on the next succeeding Business Day.

8.3 Books and Records. To facilitate payment and verification, each Party shall maintain all books and records necessary for billing and payments, including copies of all invoices under this Agreement, for a period of at least five (5) years or as otherwise required by Law.

If the required adjustment is in favor of Buyer, Buyer’s monthly payment shall be credited in an amount equal to the adjustment. If the required adjustment is in favor of Seller, Seller shall add the adjustment amount to Buyer’s next monthly invoice.

Adjustments in favor of either Buyer or Seller shall bear interest, until settled in full, in accordance with Section 8.2, accruing from the date on which the non-erring Party received Notice thereof.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, no adjustment of invoices shall be permitted after twenty-four (24) months from the date of the invoice.

8.5 Billing Disputes. A Party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice, payment or any adjustment to an invoice rendered under this Agreement or adjust any invoice for any arithmetic or computational error within twelve (12) months of the date the invoice, or adjustment to an invoice, was rendered. In the event an invoice, payment or portion thereof, or any other claim or adjustment arising hereunder, is disputed, payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice shall be required to be made when due. Any invoice or payment dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or adjustment. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of such resolution along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the original due date to but excluding the date paid. Inadvertent overpayments shall be returned upon request or deducted by AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 34 the Party receiving such overpayment from subsequent payments, with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the date of such overpayment to but excluding the date repaid or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived if the other Party is not notified in accordance with this Section 8.5 within twelve (12) months after the invoice is rendered or subsequently adjusted, except to the extent any misinformation was from a third party not affiliated with any Party and such third party corrects its information after the twelve-month period. If an invoice is not rendered within twelve (12) months after the close of the month during which performance occurred, the right to payment for such performance is waived.

8.6 Netting of Payments. The Parties hereby agree that they shall discharge undisputed mutual debts and payment obligations due and owing to each other on the same date through netting, in which case all amounts owed by each Party to the other Party for the purchase and sale of Product during the monthly billing period under this Agreement or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, including any related damages calculated pursuant to Section 3.7(d), Section 4.3(e), or Exhibit B, interest, and payments or credits, shall be netted so that only the excess amount remaining due after netting any such undisputed amount shall be paid by the Party who owes it.

8.8 Seller’s Performance Security. To secure its obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall deliver Performance Security to Buyer on or before the Commercial Operation Date.

If the Performance Security is not in the form of cash or Letter of Credit, it shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit L. Seller shall maintain the Performance Security in full force and effect, subject to any draws made by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, until the following have occurred: (A) the Delivery Term has expired or terminated early; and (B) all payment obligations of Seller then due and payable under this Agreement, including compensation for penalties, Termination Payment, indemnification payments or other damages are paid in full (whether directly or indirectly such as through set-off or netting). Following the occurrence of both events, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller the unused portion of the Performance Security. If the Performance Security is a Letter of Credit and the issuer of such Letter of Credit (i) fails to maintain its status as a Qualified Issuer, (ii) indicates its intent not to renew such Letter of Credit AI#06_Att. A_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (4.4 MW) 35 and such Letter of Credit expires prior to the Commercial Operation Date, or (iii) fails to honor Buyer’s properly documented request to draw on such Letter of Credit by such issuer, Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days to either post cash or deliver a substitute Letter of Credit or Guaranty that meets the requirements set forth in the definition of Performance Security.

(b) to accelerate all amounts owing between the Parties, and to collect as liquidated damages (i) the Damage Payment (in the case of an Event of Default by Seller occurring before the Commercial Operation Date, including an Event of Default under Section 11.1(b)(ii)) or (ii) the Termination Payment calculated in accordance with Section 11.3 below (in the case of any other Event of Default by either Party);

The Termination Payment shall be made to or from the Non-Defaulting Party, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after such Notice is effective.

Disputes regarding the Termination Payment shall be determined in accordance with Article 15.

11.6 Rights And Remedies Are Cumulative. Except where an express and exclusive remedy or measure of damages is provided, the rights and remedies of a Party pursuant to this AI#06_Att.

Within thirty (30) days after execution of the Agreement and upon annual renewal thereafter, Seller shall deliver to Buyer certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage. These certificates shall specify that Buyer shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior Notice by Seller in the event of cancellation or termination of coverage.

Such insurance shall be primary coverage without right of contribution from any insurance or self-insurance of Buyer. Any other insurance maintained by Seller is for the exclusive benefit of Seller and shall not in any manner inure to the benefit of Buyer. Seller shall also comply with all insurance requirements by any renewable energy or other incentive program administrator or any other applicable authority. Buyer shall have the right to inspect or obtain a copy of the original policy(ies) of insurance.
(j) Failure to Comply with Insurance Requirements. If Seller fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Article 17, Seller, among other things and without restricting Buyer’s remedies under the Law or otherwise, shall, at its own cost and expense, act as an insurer and provide insurance in accordance with the terms and conditions above. With respect to the required general liability, umbrella liability and commercial automobile liability insurance, Seller shall provide a current, full and complete defense to Buyer, its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest, in response to a third-party claim in the same manner that an insurer would have, had the insurance been maintained in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth above. In addition, alleged violations of the provisions of this Article 17 means that Seller has the initial burden of proof regarding any legal justification for refusing or withholding coverage and Seller shall face the same liability and damages as an insurer for wrongfully refusing or withholding coverage in accordance with the laws of California.

The date of Construction Start will be evidenced by and subject to Seller’s delivery to Buyer of a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J hereto, and the date certified therein shall be the “Construction Start Date.” Seller shall cause Construction Start to occur no later than the Guaranteed Construction Start Date. b. If Construction Start is not achieved by the Guaranteed Construction Start Date, Seller shall pay Construction Delay Damages to Buyer on account of such delay.

Construction Delay Damages shall be payable for each day for which Construction Start has not begun by the Guaranteed Construction Start Date. Construction Delay Damages shall be payable to Buyer by Seller until Seller reaches Construction Start of the Facility. On or before the tenth (10th) day of each month, Buyer shall invoice Seller for Construction Delay Damages, if any, accrued during the prior month and, within ten (10) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such invoice, Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of the Construction Delay Damages set forth in such invoice. Construction Delay Damages shall be refundable to Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Exhibit B. The Parties agree that Buyer’s receipt of Construction Delay Damages shall (x) not be construed as Buyer’s declaration that an Event of Default has occurred under any provision of Section 11.1 and (y) not limit Buyer’s right to receive a Damage Payment, upon exercise of Buyer’s default right pursuant to Section 11.2.

2. Commercial Operation of the Facility. “Commercial Operation” means the condition existing when Seller has fulfilled all of the conditions precedent in Section 2.2 of the Agreement and provided Notice to Buyer substantially in the form of Exhibit H (the “COD Certificate”) (ii) Seller has notified Buyer in writing that it has provided the required documentation to Buyer and met the conditions for achieving Commercial Operation, and (iii) Buyer has acknowledged to Seller in writing that Buyer agrees that Commercial Operation has been achieved.

If Seller does not achieve Commercial Operation by the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall pay COD Delay Damages to Buyer for each day the Facility has not been completed and is not ready to produce and deliver Energy generated by the Facility to Buyer as of the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date. COD Delay Damages shall be paid for each day of delay and shall be paid to Buyer in advance on a monthly basis. A prorated amount will be returned to Seller if COD is achieved during the month for which COD Delay Damages were paid in advance. The Parties agree that Buyer’s receipt of COD Delay Damages shall (x) not be construed as Buyer’s declaration that an Event of Default has occurred under any provision of Section 11.1 and (y) not limit Buyer’s right to receive a Damage Payment upon exercise of Buyer’s remedies pursuant to Section

11.2. 3. Termination for Failure to Achieve Commercial Operation. If the Facility has not achieved Commercial Operation within days after the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date, as it may be extended as provided herein, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 11.1(b)(ii) and 11.2.

4. Extension of the Guaranteed Dates. The Guaranteed Construction Start Date and the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date shall both, subject to notice and documentation requirements set forth below, be automatically extended on a day-for-day basis (the “Development Cure Period”) for the duration of any and all delays arising out of the following circumstances:

Exhibit B - 3
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the cumulative extensions granted under the Development Cure Period above shall not exceed days, for any reason, including a Force Majeure Event, no extension shall be given if (i) the delay was the result of Seller’s failure to take all commercially reasonable actions to meet its requirements and deadlines, (ii) Seller failed to provide requested documentation as provided below, (iii) Seller failed to provide written notice of a Force Majeure Event to Buyer as required under the Agreement, or (iv) for delays that are not claimed as a Force Majeure Event, Seller failed to provide written notice as required in the next sentence. For delays that are not claimed as a Force Majeure Event, Seller shall provide prompt written notice to Buyer of a delay, but in no case more than thirty (30) days after Seller became aware of such delay, except that in the case of a delay occurring within sixty (60) days of the Expected Commercial Operation Date, or after such date, Seller must provide written notice within five (5) Business Days of Seller becoming aware of such delay. Upon request from Buyer, Seller shall provide documentation demonstrating to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that and delays described above, including from Force Majeure Events, did not result from Seller’s actions or failure to take commercially reasonable actions.

5. Failure to Reach Guaranteed Capacity. If, at Commercial Operation, the Installed Capacity is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Guaranteed Capacity, Seller shall have days after the Commercial Operation Date to install additional capacity or Network Upgrades such that the Installed Capacity is equal to (but not greater than) the Guaranteed Capacity, and Seller shall provide to Buyer a new certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I-1 hereto specifying the new Installed Capacity. If Seller fails to construct the Guaranteed Capacity by such date, Seller shall pay “Capacity Damages” to Buyer, in an amount equal to for each MW that the Guaranteed Capacity exceeds the
Installed Capacity, and the Guaranteed Capacity and other applicable portions of the Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly.

A Payment Demand shall be in writing and shall reasonably specify in what manner and what amount Seller has failed to pay and an explanation of why such payment is due and owing, with a specific statement that Buyer is requesting that Guarantor pay under this Guaranty. Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Payment Demand, pay the Guaranteed Amount to Buyer.

3. Scope and Duration of Guaranty. This Guaranty applies only to the Guaranteed Amount.

(e) A “WREGIS Certificate Deficit” means any deficit or shortfall in WREGIS Certificates delivered to Buyer for a calendar month as compared to the Facility Energy for the same calendar month (“Deficient Month”) caused by an error or omission of Seller. If any WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused, or the result of any action or inaction by Seller, then the amount of Facility Energy in the Deficient Month shall be reduced on a one-for-one basis by the amount of the WREGIS Certificate Deficit for purposes of calculating Buyer’s payment to Seller under Article 8 for the applicable Contract Year. Without limiting Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.7, if a WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused solely by an error or omission of WREGIS, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to cause WREGIS to correct its error or omission.

AI#06_Att. B_Power Purchase Agreement with CES Electron Farm One, LLC (.24 MW) 24 (f) If WREGIS changes the WREGIS Operating Rules after the Effective Date or applies the WREGIS Operating Rules in a manner inconsistent with this Section 4.7 after the Effective Date, the Parties promptly shall modify this Section 4.7 as reasonably required to cause and enable Seller to transfer to Buyer’s WREGIS Account a quantity of WREGIS Certificates for each given calendar month that corresponds to the Facility Energy in the same calendar month.
