Effective Date and Term: The term shall be June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2004 Project Configuration: New gas fired single cycle 45 MW GE LM 6000-PC with Enhanced Sprint option. Product: Capacity, associated energy and ancillary services. Firmness: Capacity and energy, as offered hereunder, shall be considered unit firm. Point of Delivery: The Point of Delivery for capacity and energy shall be at the generator bus bar interface at the high voltage side of the St. Peter switchyard substation located at the St. Peter plant ("Into Ameren"). Contract Quantity: SWEC will guarantee delivery of 45 MW at the delivery point although actual capacity could be 47 MW or more. Heat Rate: SWEC will guarantee a heat rate of 9,750 Btu/kWh for all MWh's scheduled and received by BUYER Energy Charge: BUYER shall pay to SWEC $3.50/MWh for all energy purchased for associated variable O&M. Capacity Charges: $8.40/kW-month Fuel Supply: BUYER shall procure, nominate, schedule and deliver the natural gas necessary to generate the energy requirements. BUYER shall pay all applicable transportation costs and taxes required to deliver natural gas to the meter at the St.Peter plant. Start Up: In the event the St. Peter plant is not available by June 1, 2001, the capacity payment to be paid by BUYER will be reduced by $8,000/day (the "Capacity Credit") for each day, Monday through Friday, that the St. Peter plant is not available after June 1, 2001. In the event the reduction exceeds the monthly capacity payment, the amount of penalty in excess of the monthly capacity payment shall be applied pro-rata to the remaining months in the year the deficit occurred. For purposes of the Transaction Agreement, the term "available" shall mean the St. Peter plant is capable of producing 45 Megawatts of electric power at the Delivery Point. Energy Scheduling: BUYER shall have the right, but not the obligation to notify SWEC of its intention to receive energy with a minimum of four hours notice prior to delivery. When scheduled, energy must be taken a minimum of 4 hours. Such scheduled hours shall not be included as Scheduled Hours in the calculation of the Annual Capacity Payment Refund below. In the event BUYER Schedules Hours for energy delivery on a Business Day (Monday through Friday) ahead basis by 2:00 PM CPT and the St. Peter plant is unavailable for such Scheduled Hours, BUYER shall reduce its Annual Capacity Payment to SWEC on a pro-rata basis for each Scheduled Hour that the plant is unavailable through an Annual Capacity Payment Refund. For purposes of this provision, the Annual Capacity Payment shall be pro-rated over the number of Scheduled Hours in each year as follows: ACPR = [(Yearly Scheduled Hours - Yearly Delivered Hours) / Yearly Scheduled Hours] X (Capacity Payment X 12). In the event BUYER has scheduled and is receiving energy on an intra-day basis and SWEC's unit becomes unavailable, no reduction in capacity payment shall occur. However, SWEC shall make a commercially reasonable effort to deliver the scheduled energy. Scheduled Maintenance: SWEC shall not schedule any routine scheduled maintenance on the St. Peter plant during the period beginning May 1 through September 30 of each year. Scheduled Maintenance shall be defined as the shutdown of a generating unit, transmission line, or other facility, for inspection or maintenance, in accordance with an advance schedule. Required Maintenance: Any required maintenance during the period beginning May 1 through September 30 of each year shall be coordinated between SWEC and BUYER. Transmission: BUYER shall purchase and arrange for all necessary transmission from the Delivery Point Response Due Date: May 31, 2000 Dave Boone Director of Business Development & Marketing Southwestern Electric 525 US Route 40 Greenville, IL 62246 Voice: 618-664-1025 800-637-8667 Mobile: 618-792-9429 Fax: 618-664-3928 Dave Boone Director of Business Development & Marketing Southwestern Electric 525 US Route 40 Greenville, IL 62246 Voice: 618-664-1025 800-637-8667 Mobile: 618-792-9429 Fax: 618-664-3928 - winmail.dat
