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?

Based on guideline, the calculation to set the minimum threshold under CRESS is as follows:-

8.20
For existing customers who participate with new additional demand, 100% of the existing maximum demand declared multiplied by the load factor of 0.52 x 730 (hours) will be used to set the minimum threshold under the CRESS programme. The minimum threshold will be used for billing calculation.

Minimum Threshold for billing = (10MW)*0.52*730 = 3,796,000kWh

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? 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 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.
