Frequently Asked Questions
CRESS · Guidelines Compliance and Operational Clarifications
In section 8.16, mentions that the “GSO shall have the right to instruct GEP to reduce, maintain or increase the output subject to system condition”. Will the Renewable Energy Developer (RED) be compensated if dispatched for this purpose? If yes how much?
With reference to section 8.20, to clarify, if an existing customer has a demand of 10MW and an additional new demand of 5MW, is the minimum threshold calculated as follows: 100% x 15MW x 0.52 x 730 hours?
With reference to section 6.11, it states that “The meter reading at RED and Green Consumer premises shall be coordinated in such a way that the readings reflect the supply and consumption of electricity that occur within the same time during the Billing Period.” What does “same time” entail? Is this down to the very minute and hour, or is this referring to the same monthly/billing cycle during the Billing Period? This section does seem to contradict sections 6.20 and 8.12.
With reference to section 14.1(a), in the event that the GEP is not implemented according to schedule or not completed by the scheduled COD, the Commission reserves the right to revoke the participant. Does this mean that there is a sunset COD stipulated under CRESS that the RED needs to comply with?
Similarly to the CGPP, will there be a commitment bond imposed on the RED?
