Clarify that the executed Power Purchase Agreement required for an annual demonstration of continued project compliance with Commercial Viability Criteria need not be the same PPA as provided for the initial or prior demonstration.
Effective date: Effective at end of PRR process.
Projects providing executed PPAs to show continued annual compliance with Commercial Viability Criteria are allowed to provide a different PPA than initial or earlier compliance demonstrations, as long as the current PPA meets the other requirements (e.g., requiring RA, and any applicable term or counterparty requirements). This PRR is needed to clarify the acceptability of a new, “substitute" PPA.
