Is switching from Non-Firm to Firm Over Time allowed?

Not allowed. Flexibility cannot be granted, as it must be declared during the application stage. Allowing this switch could affect the recovery cost payments for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to the grid.

What is excess energy? What is excess energy? How is the excess energy of GEP due to the imbalance of generation and consumption determined? i. The generation of GEP is higher than the consumption of GC at any point of time as per Clause 6.11; or ii. The total actual generation of GEP exceeds the total consumption of GC, which is calculated on the last day of the month, regardless of hourly generation and consumption as per Clause 8.12? How is the excess energy of GEP due to the imbalance of generation and consumption determined? i. The generation of GEP is higher than the consumption of GC at any point of time as per Clause 6.11; or ii. The total actual generation of GEP exceeds the total consumption of GC, which is calculated on the last day of the month, regardless of hourly generation and consumption as per Clause 8.12? If a Power Plant type with FIRM output is submitted during the application stage, does RED require declaring the monthly energy output, which will be subjected to the excess energy clause? The energy storage capacity shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the GEP registered capacity. The registered capacity refers to Solar Farm AC capacity or export capacity?
