POWER SCHEDULING
1. PURPOSE OF THIS EXHIBIT
The purpose of this exhibit IS to describe power scheduling procedures for delivery of
BP A power to tbe Customer under the Agreement. This exhibit is a generIc exhibit
that applies to all scheduling customers and implements the provisions of the
Agreement..
2. EXHIBIT PROVISIONS
(a) Scheduling Principles
The procedures in this exhibit are intended to achieve the following
principles:
(1) Promote efficient system operations and maximize power production.
(2) Provide workable scheduling procedures for the timely delivery of
power, thereby promoting efficient power transactions.
(3) Reflect the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
(b) Control Area Requirements
(1) In order to schedule power, a Customer must either operate a Control
Area or designate a Host Control Area (HCA) as defined by the North
AmerIcan Electric Reliability Council (NERC) to implement its
schedules. The HCA may be the sending Control Area, the receiving
Control Area, or an mtermedIary Control Area.
BPA wIll be the HCA for any transactIOn mvolvmg eIther:
(A) generatIOn located within BPA's Control Area; or
(B) service to a load within BPA's Control Area.
(2) If BP A is the intermediary Control Area in a single transaction or set
of transactions, the Customer may designate a HCA other than BP A.
The Customer must inform BP A of its choice no later than the time of
preschedule. BP A will have no obligation to accept any schedule from
any HCA that does not agree to abide by the scheduling requirements
set forth in this exhIbit.

CIty of Port Angeles
EffectIve on the Commencement Date
(3) If the Customer has desIgnated a HCA for a single transactIOn, it
must remam the HCA for the duratIOn of the schedule. In the event
the Customer fails to identIfy a HCA for its next transaction, the
desIgnated HCA for the Customer's last transaction wIll be desIgnated
as the HCA for the next transactIon except in those CIrcumstances in
which BPA would be the desIgnated HCA as provIded in
section 2(b)(1), above. The Customer may desIgnate a single HCA for
all of its transactions, and any such HCA wIll remam so designated
until the Customer notifies BP A that It has selected another HCA.
(4) Even though all partial requirements customers are reqUITed to
submIt schedules to BP A, only those utilities that operate their own
Control Areas can implement schedules (as that term is used by
NERC).
(5) Any partial requirements customer for whom BPA IS the HCA must
schedule energy to and from BP A as if the Customer operates ItS own
Control Area, i.e., the Customer has a Contractual Control Area for
purposes of scheduling power under this exhibit.
(6) Customers usmg a HCA other than BPA must establIsh and verIfy
schedules wIth Control Areas through the HCA, but the HCA IS
responsible for Implementmg and assuring the accuracy of the
schedule.
(c) Coordinating Requirements
(1) All schedules must be provIded orally to BPA on Workdays (defined as
any day both parties consIder a workday).
(2) Schedules apply to the followmg day or days (If the followmg day or
days are not Workdays).
(3) Scheduled hourly values are to be referenced by the "hour ending"
time on the 24-hour clock (l.e., the schedule for 2 to 3 p.m. IS referred
as the "hour ending 1500" or, more commonly, the "1500 hour").
(4) Unless otherwIse agreed by BPA's power schedulers and BPA's system
operators, all schedules wIll be effectuated on an hourly basIs using
the standard 20-mmute ramp perIOd centered on the hour (begmning
10 mmutes prIOr to the hour and endmg 10 mmutes after the hour).

(5) All schedules wIth BP A are to be stated m Pacific tIme (PT) and are to
begm wIth the 0100 hour.
(6) The Customer agrees to submit all hourly prescheduled quantities of
the product or servIce in whole megawatthour amounts.
(d) Prescheduling Requirements
Prescheduling IS the process of establishing hourly schedules through the
following Workday(s).
(1) Preschedule Submissions
(A) The Customer agrees to submit schedule(s) covering all
transactions into, out of, or within BP A's Control Area except
as provided in section 2(d)(1)(G), below.
(B) BP A may require the Customer to submIt estimated
preschedules prIOr to the final preschedule.
(C) The Customer agrees to submit a final hourly preschedule for
the next day or days by 1400 hours each Workday.
(D) BP A may require the Customer to submIt estImated dally
schedules of energy for an ensumg perIOd up to 10 days in
length.
(E) The maXImum number of pre schedule days is 4 days, except
that by mutual agreement BPA may accept preschedules for up
to 5 or 6 days as needed to accommodate a Customer's special
!,?cheduling requirements for contiguous weekend-holiday
perIOds. (For example, BP A will accept schedules for the period
ThanksgIving Thursday through Monday if the Customer
observes the Friday after Thanksglvmg as a holIday).
(F) Customers must identify that portion of theIr hourly
preschedule submittals attributable to load shaping if they:
(i) are in another Control Area and purchase any BP A load
shaping product; or
(ll) purchase partial load shaping.

(G) Any Customer operating a Contractual Control Area and
purchasIng BPA's full load shapIng product may not schedule:
(1) any power under the Agreement, If the Customer has
chosen to declare Its hourly Resource CommItment In
lieu of specifying purchase quantities (in
megawatthours); or
(ii) load shaping amounts for power under the Agreement,
if the Customer has specified purchase quantities (in
megawatthours).
(2) Information Required to be Included in Any Preschedule
Any schedule submitted to BP A must include, at a minimum, the
follOWIng information:
(A) the HCA, If the Customer Itself does not operate a Control
Area;
(B) the supplIer, receIver, and wheeling entitIes Involved in the
transactIOn;
(C) the megawatt amount of the schedule;
(D) the startIng and endIng times for each schedule;
(E) the point of receipt/delivery for the transactIon;
(F) the type of product or servIce beIng scheduled, Including a
statement as to whether the energy being scheduled IS firm for,
or recallable durIng, the delivery hour; and
(G) the name of the entIty provIding energy and transmISSIOn
reserves for the transaction.
(3) Preschedule Amounts
The Customer's prescheduled amounts must satisfy the following
cnteria:
(A) The Customer's total preschedule amounts may not exceed its
purchase amounts as established prior to the preschedule
period.

ExhIbit E, Page 5 of 8
Contract No. 96MS-95027
City of Port Angeles
Effective on the Commencement Date
(B) The Customer may not preschedule heavy load hour energy in
excess of Its monthly established purchase amount for
generation demand. If the Customer is scheduling its Resource
Commitment and not its power purchases under the
Agreement, the Customer may not preschedule Its resources in
any heavy load hour in such a way as to cause BPA's obligation
to provide power under the Agreement to exceed an amount of
firm power equal to the Customer's Total RetaIl Load minus its
monthly Resource Commitment for peaking.
(C) The Customer may not preschedule amounts of light load hour
energy in amounts less than 50 percent of the Customer's
average hourly amount of its daily light load hour purchase
amount under the Agreement. If the Customer is scheduling
its Resource Commitment and not its power purchases under
the Agreement, the Customer may not schedule power from its
own resources such that BPA's firm power obligatIOn under the
Agreement drops below 50 percent of the Customer's average
hourly power obligatIOn during light load hours based on the
Customer servmg Its load m the amount of Its Resource
CommItment.
(D) The Customer may reshape Its energy deliveries from its
specIfied purchase amounts only If the Customer has
purchased the rIght to reshape energy deliverIes as an
unbundled service.
(E) By mutual agreement, BP A and the Customer may reshape
energy amounts beyond daily quantIties and demand limits
specIfied in the Agreement due to adverse operating conditions
on eIther party's system. BPA's agreement to reshape demand
and energy amounts will not relIeve the Customer of paYIng
applicable unauthorized increase charges, nor wIll the
agreement relieve the Customer of its purchase obligation as
defined by the terms of the Agreement.
(e) Changes from Preschedule
(1) The Customer may not change the hourly amounts of its preschedules
except by mutual agreement unless the Customer has purchased the
right to change its preschedules as a separate unbundled service.
Notwithstanding such right, the Customer agrees to endeavor to avoid
requests for changes from preschedule.

(2) To the extent changes from the preschedule become necessary, the
Customer must submIt such requests no later than 30 mmutes prior
to the scheduled hour for which the change becomes effective.
(3) No later than 30 minutes before the delivery hour, each customer with
its own electrical (as opposed to contractual) Control Area who is
purchasmg load shaping must adjust its preschedule to account for
changes m its forecast of total retmlload smce the time of
preschedule.
(4) Multihour changes from preschedule are to specify an "hour
beginning" and an "hour ending" and are never to be stated as "until
further notIce."
(5) Upon a customer's request, BPA will consider mIdhour changes from
preschedule, but only under critical operating conditions such as loss
of a resource or transmission path. These types of schedule changes
must be made directly with the BPA dispatcher Immediately following
the event precIpItatmg the change. The Customer and BP A must
agree to the effectIve tIme, ramp duratIOn, mtegrated, and revised net
schedules for mIdhour changes. MIdhour schedule changes wIll not be
made for economic or load shapmg purposes. Such changes are
subject to applIcable charges.
(f) Emergency Requirements
(1) Loss of Generating Resource
The Customer agrees to adhere to the followmg reqUIrements for any
resource that It operates and agrees to ensure, through contractual
arrangement, that any entIty operating a resource on its behalf
likeWIse agrees to the following:
(A) The operating entIty (entity who lost the resource) will notify
BP A and affected customers as quickly as possIble of the
resource loss. In order to be billed for the use of a reserve,
instead of being billed for unauthorIzed increase under the
Agreement, the operating entity must notify BP A of the
resource loss within 15 mmutes of the outage.
(B) The operating entIty WIll establish the effectIve tIme (mIdpoint
of ramp) of schedule change.

agree on integrated and revIsed net schedules.
(2) General Provisions Regarding Emergencies
BP A and the Customer agree to expedite communications to aVOId
accumulation of inadvertent power flows or net schedules which place
a control burden on other Control Areas.
(g) After-the-Fact Reconciliation
Any customer that operates its own Control Area agrees to reconcile all
schedules and accounts at the end of each month consistent with the
following principles:
(1) The Customer and BP A will verIfy all scheduled energy transactions
as to product or type of servIce, hourly amounts, daily and montWy
totals and, where appropriate, diurnal energy totals.
(2) The Customer and BP A WIll agree on current product balances, loss
calculations and loss schedules, where appropriate.
(3) The Customer and BP A WIll reconclle all pool errors and inadvertent
energy m a timely manner.

POWER AMOUNTS
1. Exhibit Provisions
(a) Power Under the Agreement
(1) The prOVISIOns below establish Port Angeles' Contract Obligation to
purchase Firm Power under the Agreement and the allowable changes
(Authorized Deviations) from the obligation for each hour and month.
Port Angeles' Contract Obligation for a given time period is compared
to the quantity of Firm Power delivered to Port Angeles at Points of
Delivery pursuant to the Agreement (Measured Amount) for that
period, and which cannot be assigned to other agreements, to
determme the amount of deviation, if any. Any deviations that exceed
the authorized amounts are considered unauthorized. Unauthorized
posItive deVIations are billed according to the rate schedule for
Unauthorized Increases. Unauthorized negative deViations are billed
at the applicable rate as if Port Angeles had taken delIvery of that
power.
(2) Hourly deVIations are determmed first, followed by monthly
calculations, WIth the calculations ensurmg that unauthorIzed
deVIations are only charged once. The calculatIOns are performed
separately for each dIUrnal perIOd.
(3) Port Angeles' Contract Obligation shall be determmed as set forth
below.
(A) Contract Obligation for Hourly Firm Power Purchases
(1) Hourly Contract Obligation
The Total Retail Load, minus the sum of the Hourly
Resource Commitment established by Port Angeles
through the procedures of ExhIbit D and the estrmated
or actual amounts of Other Consumer Load mcluded in
Total Retail Load as determined pursuant to
section 9(a) of the Agreement, sets the Hourly Contract
Obligation to purchase Firm Power under the
Agreement in that hour.
(ii) Authorized Hourly Negative Deviation
Each kilowatthour (kWh) that the Measured Amount is
less than the Hourly Contract Obligation, but not m

excess of the greater of 1 megawatthour or 5 percent of
the Hourly Contract OblIgatIOn IS an AuthOrIzed Hourly
Negative DeVIation.
(iii) Authorized Hourly Positive Deviation
Each kWh that the Measured Amount is more than the
Hourly Contract Obligation, but not in excess of the
greater of 1 megawatthour or 1 percent of the Hourly
Contract Obligation is an Authorized Hourly Positive
DeVIation.
(B) Unauthorized Deviations in Hourly Amounts
(i) Unauthorized Hourly Negative Deviation
Each kWh that the Measured Amount is below the
Hourly Contract Obligation minus the Authorized
Hourly Negative Deviation is an Unauthorized Negative
Deviation and WIll be billed at the applicable HLH or
LLH rate as If Port Angeles had taken delIvery of that
power.
(Ii) Unauthorized Hourly Positive Deviation
Each kWh that the Measured Amount exceeds the
Hourly Contract OblIgatIOn plus the AuthOrIzed Hourly
PosItlve DevIatlon IS an Unauthorized Positive
DeVIatIOn and is billed as an UnauthorIzed Increase.
(C) Monthly Contract Obligation
Port Angeles' Monthly Contract Obligation for each dmrnal
perIOd IS Port Angeles' Total Retall Load for each dmrnal
perIOd durmg the month, mmus the sum of the Hourly
Resource Commitments for each dmrnal perIOd durmg the
month and estlmated or actual amounts of Other Consumer
Load for each diurnal period durmg the month included in
Total RetaIl Load as determined pursuant to sectIOn 9(a) of the
Agreement. The Authorized Monthly Positive DeVIatIOn and
the AuthorIzed Monthly Negative DeVIation are 1 percent of
the Monthly Contract Obligation.
(D) Unauthorized Monthly Deviations
Each kWh that the sum of the absolute value of the Authorized
Hourly Negative Deviation is greater than 1 percent of the
Monthly Contract ObligatIOn m each diurnal perIOd is an

the applicable HLH or LLH rate as If Port Angeles had taken
delivery of that power. Each kWh that the sum of the
Authorized Hourly PosItive Deviations exceeds 1 percent of the
Monthly Contract Obligation in each diurnal period is an
UnauthorIzed Monthly Positive Deviation and will be billed for
an Unauthorized Increase.
(E) Contract Obligation for Demand
The Contract Obligation for Demand will be the greater of
Port Angeles' Measured Demand on BPA at the time of BPA's
MontWy System Peak or Port Angeles' Total Retail Load on
BPA's Monthly System Peak, minus the sum of that hour's
Hourly Resource Commitment, and estimated or measured
amounts of Other Consumer Load for such hour.
(4) Optional Products
NONE
(b) Billing Adjustments and Billing for Other BPA,Services
(1) Outage Credit
BP A wIll provide Port Angeles a credit on its monthly power bill for a
proportIOnate amount of the demand charges for generatIOn whenever
a scheduled mamtenance outage of 30 minutes or more at one of
Port Angeles' Points of DelIvery is for maintenance of facilities used by
BP A to serve Port Angeles; and BP A or the transferor does not provIde
full servIce to Port Angeles at that Point of Delivery or other Points of
Delivery durmg the scheduled outage period. The credIt will be based
on the relatIOnshIp between the number of hours of outage and the
number of hours m the bIlling month.
(2) Load Adjustment
BP A WIll adjust Port Angeles' energy quantities as measured at
Port Angeles' metermg point for losses between that metermg point
and Port Angeles' points of delivery (PODs), as provided in the
TransmisSIOn Agreement.
(3) Inaccurate Metering Adjustment
BP A will adjust Port Angeles' power bill to correct for maccurate
metermg if any meter used to measure power provided under the
Agreement fails to register, or if any measurement made by a meter
used to deliver power provided under the Agreement by more than

test of meter accuracy, or a meter reading error occurs. Such
adjustment WIll be limIted to the 6 months prior to discovery of the
error by BP A, for an amount of time up to the duratIOn of inaccurate
metermg.
(4) Net Billing
Upon agreement of the Parties and, subject to the IrmitatIOns set forth
in any billing agreements between Port Angeles and BP A, payments
due one Party may be offset agamst payments due the other Party
under all contracts between BP A and Port Angeles. All payments

1. PURPOSE OF THIS EXHIBIT
The purpose of this exhibit IS to descrIbe the process that BP A will use to:
(a) make "contracted for, committed to" (CF/CT) determmations,
(b) make facility determmations;
(c) identify New Large Single Loads (NLSL); and
(d) record the outcome of any such determinations and identifications.
This exhibit implements the provisions of section 30 of the body of the Agreement.
2. EXHIBIT PROVISIONS
(a) "Contracted for, or Committed to" Determinations
(1) SectIOn 3(13)(A) of the Northwest Power Act reqUIres BP A to make
"contracted for, or commItted to" (CF/CT) determmatIOns.
(2) The CF/CT determmatIOn process IS as follows:
(A) The Customer shall make a request to BPA for a CF/CT
determination;
(B) BP A wIll work WIth the Customer to identify all contractual or
electriC power servIce arrangements m place as of September 1,
1979. Such arrangements are exemplified by a contract for
servIce effective prior to September 1, 1979, or a demonstrable
"paper trail" that shows a clear commitment for BP A to serve
the Customer's load with an agreed-upon amount of power;
(C) BPA will inform the Customer of its CF/CT determination by
letter; and
(D) If the CF/CT request is granted, the Parties WIll note the
CF/CT determination in section 2(g) of this exhibit.
(3) As a result of the CF/CT determination, BP A will provide power to
that load for the life of the facility at the rate applicable to the rest
(non-NLSL) of the Customer's load.

(b) Facility Determinations
(1) The purpose of a facility determmatIOn IS to determme If, and when,
the energy consumption at a Consumer's facility causes the facility to
be desIgnated as a NLSL.
(2) BP A will work with the Customer to make a reasonable facility
determinatIOn prior to the time the Customer begins imtial service to
a new large industrial load, or prior to the expansion of service of an
existmg large industrial Consumer.
(3) BP A, the Customer, and its Consumer will cooperate in the exchange
of informatIOn to determme the general features of the operation
including:
(A) the SIze of the load;
(B) the type of process;
(C) the schedule for development;
(D) the locatIOn of the load; and
(E) the electrical servIce requirements including meters and a
contract for power servIce.
(4) The followmg is the list of criteria that BPA will use m makmg a
faCIlity determmatIOn:
(A) whether the load IS operated by a smgle Consumer;
(B) whether the load is m a smgle locatIOn;
(C) whether the load servIces a manufacturmg process which
produces a single product;
(D) whether separable portions of the load are independent; and
(E) whether the load is contracted for, served as, or bIlled as a
smgle load under the Customer's customary bIlling and service
policy and other relevant factors.

Customer shall submIt a formal request for a facIlity determination.
(6) BP A will review the submIttal, request any additional information,
and then make its determmation.
(c) NLSLs
(1) Under the Northwest Power Act, BPA has the right to determine if a
load is, or has become, a NLSL.
(2) Only those facilities whose primary production or commercial function
falls mto one of the following categories, as defined in the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual (1987), U.S. Office of Management
and Budget, may be classified by BP A as NLSLs:
(A) AgrIculture, Forestry, and Fishing;
(B) Mimng;
(C) Construction;
(D) Manufacturmg;
(E) TransportatIOn, Communications, Electric, Gas, and Samtary
Services; and
(F) Wholesale Trade.
(3) Loads associated wIth the following types of activitIes will not be
consIdered NLSLs IrrespectIve of theIr SIze:
(A) Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate;
(B) Retail Trade;
(C) Services; and
(D) Public Administration.
(4) A Consumer's load (or portion thereof) is a NLSL If the energy
consumption of the qualifymg load (as defined in section 2 (c) (2) of this
exhibit) has increased by 10 average megawatts or more over a

consecutive 12-month period. A NLSL may be assocIated with a new
facility, an existing facIlIty, or expansIOn of an eXIstmg facIlIty. Any
portion of load at a facIlity that BP A determmes to be "contracted for,
or commItted to" as of September 1, 1979, wIll not be consIdered a
NLSL, regardless of SIze.
(5) The Customer is required to inform BP A of any load on its system
that might become a NLSL. The Customer has the obligation to
momtor the load at every potential NLSL facility every 12 consecutive
months from the time of energization or commercial operation and
report such load information to BP A. If a load at a facility ever
becomes a NLSL, then any additional increment of load at the facility,
regardless of size, will also be a NLSL. If this load is served by BP A,
it WIll be billed at the applicable rate for NLSL servIce.
(d) Metering Requirements for NLSLs
The Customer agrees to separately meter each NLSL usmg metering capable
of measuring hourly data to be reported to BP A on a monthly basis. The
metermg must mclude prOVISIOns for determining in each billing month:
(1) the NLSL's demand during each of BPA's established billing perIOds
for demand; and
(2) the NLSL's energy durmg each hour of BPA's establIshed dIurnal
energy bIllmg perIOds.

Parties have agreed. Only those electric Installations used to deliver power
that BP A sells or wheels to Customer shall be subject to Inspection.
(c) General Environmental Provisions
Each Party shall be responsible for the cost of compliance wIth the
requirements of all applicable Federal, State, and local environmental laws
for its own facilities, even when those facilities are located on the property of
the other Party.
3. DELIVERIES
(a) Character of Service
Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, BPA shall make electric power
available to Customer in the form of 3-phase alternating current, at a
nominal frequency of 60 hertz.
(b ) Voltage Levels
(1) Voltage Levels at Points of Delivery
When the nomInal voltage at Customer's pOInt of delIvery IS 115 kVor
more, BP A shall delIver power to Customer at the operatIng voltage of
the transmISSIon system. If the nominal voltage at Customer's point
of delIvery IS below 115 kV, the delIvery voltage may mffer from the
operatIng voltage of the transmISSIOn system as a result of the "turns
ratio" and Impedance of the transformer providing the delivery
servIce.
(2) Voltage Schedules
Voltage schedules are necessary for the efficient and reliable
transmISSIOn of electrIcal power. BPA WIll establish a voltage
schedule for each "crItical" or "key" substatIOn, as determIned by BP A.
Depenmng on the hourly operating reqUIrements at each substation
and at each POInt of generatIOn integration, BP A WIll issue a target
voltage (set-poInt) for the voltage schedule. At any time, BP A may
reset the voltage schedule. Customer shall take all approprIate
actions to help BP A maintain the established voltage schedule.
(3) Voltage Levels During Abnormal System Conditions
DurIng outages or emergencies, BP A will maintaIn delivery voltage
within 10 percent of the nominal voltage for all facilities having a
nomInal voltage less than 500 kV. BPA will normally match other
transmission providers' voltage levels for abnormal system conditions
when they share transmission responsibilities. At times during

.
.
II( ("
Exhibit H, Page 7 of 10
Contract No. 96MS-95027
CIty of Port Angeles
Effective on the Commencement Date
abnormal system conditions, BP A may need Customer to supply
adilltIOnal reactIve power from its generatmg facIlitIes (relatIve to
normal requirements) to maintam reasonable voltage levels.
Customer shall use its best efforts to comply WIth BPA's request.
(4) Reactive Power
Each Party shall design, construct, operate, mamtain, and use its
electric facilitIes m accordance with Good Utility Practice to minimIZe
the reactIve power requirements placed on the other Party. BPA shall
assess the reactive charges established in BPA's rates and Billing
Policy for Customer's reactive power requirements.
(c) Balancing Phase Demands
The current on anyone phase shall not deviate by more than 5 percent from
the current on any other phase, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
(d) Harmonic Control
Each Party shall design, construct, operate, maintain, and use its electric
faCIlitIes m accordance WIth Good UtIlity PractIce to reduce, to acceptable
levels, the harmonic currents and voltages whIch pass into the other Party's
facIlItIes. To that end, the Parties shall be gUIded by the recommended
practIces and reqUIrements for harmomc control specIfied m The Institute of
ElectrIcal and Electronics Engmeers, Inc. (IEEE) ElectrIcal Power System
Standard 519-1992, or its successor. The Parties shall accomplish harmonic
reductions usmg eqUIpment whIch is specIfically designed, and permanently
operated and mamtained, as an mtegral part of the facilitIes of the Party
which owns the system on which the harmomcs are generated.
(e) Voltage Flicker
Voltage flicker IS normally detectable through visible varIatIOns in light
mtensIty. However, flicker may be present even when no light VarIatIOns are
detectable. Since flicker IS disruptIve to lIghting and can damage computer
equipment, It must be controlled. IEEE Recommended Practices and
Requirements for Harmonic Control in ElectrIc Power Systems (IEEE
Standard 519) provides definitions and limIts on acceptable levels of voltage
flicker, as set by IEEE Standard 519. Both PartIes shall control voltage
flicker on theIr respective systems as required by IEEE Standard 519.

mimmIze the effect of any such mterruptIOn or outage.
(b) Electric Disturbances
(1) An electrIC msturbance IS any sudden, unexpected, changed or
abnormal electrIC condition which may cause damage and whIch
occurs in, or on, an electrIC system.
(2) Each Party shall deSIgn, construct, operate, mamtam, and use its
electrIC system in conformance WIth Good Electric UtIlIty Practices:
(A) to mmimIze electric msturbances such as, but not lImIted to,
the abnormal flow of power which may mterfere WIth anthers
electrIC system; and
(B) to mmimize the effect (on BPA's electric system and on
Customer's) of electric disturbances origmating on ItS own or
another's electric system.

Dear Robert:
Enclosed are two executed copies of your Network Transmission (NT) Service Agreement
Contract No. 96MS-96090. Please be advised that, although the contract refers to Bonneville's
Open Access Tariff, that tariff is currently under review by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). Until such time as FERC approves the Open Access Tariff, the terms and
conditions currently in force under the existing NT Tariff shall continue to apply.
This Service Agreement provides for NT service through September 30, 2006. Because of the
complex nature of Daishowa load and Elwah resource, this agreement provides for the
determination of Port Angeles' Network Load based on the sum of the metered load for all of
Port Angeles' points of delivery. It also provides for a reduction of Port Angeles' base
transmission load for Port Angeles' CSPE resource that has been declared as a Customer Served
Load Resource.
If the terms of the Service Agreement are acceptable, please sign one original copy of this letter
and return it with the a signed original copy of the Service Agreement. This offer for NT
Service is valid through June 26, 1998.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please call me at 360/418-8291 or

(4) Exceptions Common to All Points of Delivery
Default Methodology for Calculating Hourly Amounts of
Transnrlssion Customer's Generation: In some cases, the
resource will be treated as an offset to the Transmission Customer's
load. Consumer resources are not subject to this requirement.
Calculation Methods For Deternrlning How Meter Readings
Are To Be Added or Subtracted to Calculate the Billing
Amounts: Because of the combination of 1) the costs and
complexities involved with installing revenue quality metering on the
Elwha generation, 2) the likelihood that the Elwha projects will be
sold to the government as part of implementation ofthe Elwha River
Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, Public Law 102-495 (1992),
and 3) under normal operations, the Elwah generation is reduced for
load curtailment at the Daishowa Paper Company Plant, Bonneville
agrees to set Network Load equal to the sum of metered amounts at

affixing suitable markers plainly identifying the owner. Within a
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 7 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
reasonable time after such installation, and again after any
subsequent modification of such installation, representatives of the
Parties will jointly prepare an itemized list of said movable equipment
and salvageable facilities.
(3) Each Party agrees to be responsible for the cost of compliance with
the requirements of all applicable Federal, State, and local
environmental laws for its own facilities, even when those facilities
are located on the property ofthe other.
(b) Safety Design
For safety reasons, BPA requires isolation (clearance) of equipment during
maintenance, modification, and testing. Facility interconnections between
BP A and the Transmission Customer are to be designed and constructed to
allow the clearing of equipment using isolating devices. Such devices must
produce a visible air gap between the energized facilities and the equipment
to be worked .on. Operating procedures associated with this interconnection
are to be in compliance with the more stringent of: BPA's Accident
Prevention Manual or the Transmission Customer's safety manual.

The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
or wheels to the Transmission Customer or to measure power
integrated by the Transmission Customer into BPA's system will be
subject to inspection. The property owner will also provide accurate
and up-to-date information on those facilities and equipment owned
by the property owner, to the extent needed by the other Party to
accomplish its purpose.
(2) The inspecting Party will be liable for any injury, loss, damage, or
accident resulting from their inspection except as otherwise provided
by the terms of this Provisions.
7. RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
(a) Operating Reserves
(1) The Transmission Customer shall meet its Spinning and
Non-Spinning Operating Reserve obligations by either:
(A) purchasing Spinning and Non-Spinning Operating Reserves from
BP A through the appropriate Ancillary Services; or (B) meeting or
arranging to have a third party meet all or part of its Spinning and
Non-Spinning Operating Reserve requirement. A Transmission
Customer that meets its Spinning and/or Non-Spinning Operating
Reserve requirement by alternative (B) above shall also meet the
requirements of section 8(c) below. The Operating Reserve
requirement is as specified by the WSCC, NWPP, and implemented
by BPA. Inasmuch as BPA is obligated to meet the WSCC's and
NWPP's requirements, as they may be modified from time to time, the
Transmission Customer recognizes and agrees that its Spinning and
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 9 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
Non-Spinning Operating Reserve requirement may change to reflect
WSCC and NWPP modifications.
(2) The Transmission Customer's Operating Reserve requirement shall
be either: (A) as specified by the NWPP Operating Reserve Sharing
Program; or (B) as specified by the reliability criteria of the WSCC.
The Transmission Customer shall have additional Non-Spinning
Operating Reserve equal to the Customer's purchases of interruptible
energy less its sales of interruptible energy to any third parties, plus
an additional amount of Operating Reserve equal to the Transmission
Customer's on-demand obligations during the hour of delivery less its
on-demand rights.
(3) The Transmission Customer shall restore Operating Reserve to the
required level consistent with applicable regional criteria.
(4) In order to facilitate the use of Operating Reserve, the Transmission
Customer shall reserve unloaded firm transmission capacity at least
equal to that Operating Reserve amount. Such transmission may be
loaded with interruptible energy so that, upon interruption of the
energy, transmission service is available to replace such energy from
the Operating Reserve.
(5) To achieve efficiency for the entire Control Area and avoid providing
redundant Operating Reserve, BP A pools its Operating Reserve with
Transmission Customers in its Control Area and a~ other NWPP
Members through the NWPP Operating Reserve Sharing Program.
Through this contract, BP A has given the Transmission Customer the
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 10 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
option of being included in this program through the BP A Control
Area requirement. A Transmission Customer electing to participate
in the NWPP Operating Reserve Sharing Program through the BP A
Control Area shall either pay BP A for meeting the specified Spinning
and Non-Spinning Operating Reserve obligations for their resources,
or shall preschedule with BP A their expected generation and arrange
for meeting the associated Spinning and Non-Spinning Operating
Reserve obligation. Transmission Customers electing not to
participate shall make available to BP A Operating Reserves
equivalent to 100 percent of its MSSC ~s required by NERC. To the
greatest extent technically possible, BP A will use the Transmission
Customer's Operating Reserves to recover from the Transmission
Customer's outages.
(b) Remedial Actions Schemes
(1) The Transmission Customer may be required to provide or assure at
its cost the provision of its pro rata share of RAS required to support
the transmission capacity of the transmission path such Transmission
Customer uses.
(2) If the Transmission Customer is required to provide RAS, then BP A
and the Transmission Customer shall jointly plan and coordinate the
implementation of the RAS. No Party shall unduly withhold consent
regarding the implementation of the RAS. The Transmission
Customer may implement the required RAS where it chooses on its
system as long as the required level of ECA is obtained. The level of
reliability of the RAS design on the Transmission Customer's system
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 11 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
shall be at least equal to the level of reliability employed in the design
of the overall RAS.
(A) The Transmission Customer's contribution to the total
operational responsibility for this RAS shall be the ratio of the
Transmission Customer's usage of BP A's share ofthe path to
the total rating of BPA's share of the transmission path.
(B) BP A shall provide the appropriate control signal or signals to
the Transmission Customer.
(C) The Transmission Customer shall provide the necessary
equipment to receive and transmit the control signal or signals
to and from the Transmission Customer's transmission,
generation, and/or control center facilities to arm and initiate
the appropriate ECA or Actions determined by BP A.
(c) Operation of Resources
The Transmission Customer shall operate its generating resources in a
manner consistent with Good Utility Practice and the standards, criteria,
and requirements ofNERC, WSCC, NWPP, BPA, and any applicable
Regional Transmission Association (RTA). The Transmission Customer shall
pay the cost of necessary communications installations, modification of BPA's
computer hardware and software, and all other costs incurred by BP A in
supporting the operation of the Transmission Customer's resource in BP A's
Control Area. These costs shall include, but not be limited to,
accommodating the Transmission Customer's decisions to either change
Control Areas or not supply its Spinning or Non-Spinning Operating Reserve
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 12 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
obligation by purchasing from BP A. Any resources used by the Transmission
Customer to meet its Spinning and Non-Spinning Operating Reserve
requirements, whether the Transmission Customer's Network Resources or a
third party's generating resources, shall meet the same WSCC, NWPP, and
other applicable requirements, practices, and procedures as BPA's
generating resources providing these same services including, but not limited
to, Automatic Generation Control (AGC) capability, reserve availability,
ramp rate, governor response, random testing, and a monthly startup test.
(d) Redispatch to Manage Transmission Constraints
(1) If BP A determines that the redispatch of Network Resources
(including reductions in off-system purchases) to relieve an existing or
potential transmission system constraint is the most effective way to
ensure the reliable operation of the transmission system, BP A will
redispatch its and the Transmission Customer's Network Resources
on a least-cost basis consistent with Good Utility Practice, without
regard to the ownership of such resources. BP A will apprise the
Transmission Customer of its redispatch practices and procedures, as
they may be modified from time to time.
(2) The Transmission Customer will submit verifiable incremental and
decremental cost data for its Network Resources, which estimates the
cost to the Transmission Customer of changing the generation output
of each of its Network Resources, to BPA by data link when
submitting its preschedules. These costs will be used, along with
similar data for BPA's resources, as the basis for least-cost redispatch
for the next day's operations (or the next days' operations if the
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 13 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
preschedule is submitted on a Friday or the day before a holiday).
BPNs grid operation staff will keep these data confidential, including
from BPA's marketing staff. If the Transmission Customer
experiences changes to its costs during the following day, the
Transmission Customer must submit those changes to BPA's control
center. BPA will implement least-cost redispatch consistent with its
existing contractual obligations and its current practices and
procedures for its own resources. The Transmission Customer is
obligated to respond immediately to requests for redispatch from
BPA's control center.
(3) The Transmission Customer may audit particular redispatch events,
at its own expense, during normal business hours following
reasonable notice to BP A. Either the Transmission Customer or BP A
may request an audit of the other Party's cost data by an independent
agent at the requester's cost.
8. INTERCONNECTION PRINCIPLES AND REQUIREMENTS
(a) General Interconnection Principles
(1) Each Party shall at all times cooperate with other interconnected
systems in establishing arrangements or mitigation measures to
minimize operational impacts on each other's systems.
(2) Each Party recognizes that a party's proposed new interconnection or
modification of an existing interconnection between that Party's
system and the system of a third party, may cause adverse
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 14 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
anticipated effects on the system of the other Party. The Party
making such interconnection or modification shall minimize, or
otherwise compensate for, adverse operational effects to the other
Party's system.
(b) Conditions of Service
(1) The Parties recognize that operation and technical problems may
arise in the control of the frequency and in the flow of real and
reactive power over the interconnected transmission systems. The
Parties may adopt operating rules and procedures as necessary to
assure that, as completely as practical, the delivery and receipt of real
and reactive power and energy hereunder is accomplished in a
manner that causes the least interference with such interconnected
systems. A Transmission Customer interconnecting with BPA's
transmission system is obligated to follow the same practices and
procedures for interconnection and operation that BP A uses for its
own load and resources.
(2) Where the Transmission Customer purchases Ancillary Services from
third parties, the Transmission Customer shall have the
responsibility to secure contractual arrangements with such third
parties that are consistent with the Tariff, these Provisions, and any
applicable rules and procedures developed by the Parties.
(c) Interconnection Requirements
The Transmission Customer shall: (1) provide all Ancillary Services itself,
including those necessary to operate as a Control Area consistent with
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 15 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
Good Utility Practice and under applicable guidelines of NERC, WSCC,
NWPP, BPA, and of any applicable RTA; (2) satisfy its Control Area
requirements, including all Ancillary Services, by contracting with BP A; or
(3) satisfy its Control Area requirements, including all Ancillary Services, by
contracting with another entity which can satisfy those requirements in a
manner that is consistent with Good Utility Practice and the standards,
criteria and requirements ofNERC, WSCC, and NWPP, BPA and any
applicable RTA. The Transmission Customer shall plan, construct, operate,
and maintain its facilities and system in accordance with Good Utility
Practice, which shall include, but not be limited to, all applicable guidelines
ofNERC, WSCC, and NWPP, BPA and any applicable RTA as they may be
modified from time to time, and any generally accepted practices in the
region that are consistently adhered to by BP A.
(d) Generation Integration
(1) Resources connected directly to BPA's system are subject to
compliance with the generation integration requirements consistent
with Good Utility Practice, and all applicable standards of NERC,
WSCC, NWPP, BPA and any applicable RTA, as they may be modified
from time to time, and any generally accepted practices in the region
that are consistently adhered to by BP A. All resources integrated into
a Transmission Customer's system which, by virtue of their point of
connection, are capable of energizing BPA facilities must comply with
the safety-related requirements of the above standards, including
those for relay protection, insulation coordination, switchgear, and
safety. This requirement would typically apply to generators that are
integrated into a system that is connected radially from a tapped BPA
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 16 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
transmission line or BP A substation. Other resources integrated into
a Transmission Customer's network are subject only to the provision
that all points of interconnection between BPA and the Transmission
Customer be operated and maintained in a manner consistent with
Good Utility Practice.
(2) The Transmission Customer agrees to notify BPA a minimum of
18 months before energization of the resource if it is expected to
impact the BPA transmission system.
9. POWER QUALITY
(a) Character of Service
Unless otherwise provided in these Provisions, BPA will make electric power
available to the Transmission Customer in the form of 3-phase alternating
current, at a nominal frequency of 60 hertz (hz).
(b) Voltage Levels
(1) Voltage Levels on the Integrated Network Transmission
System
BP A has the right to operate its transmission system as provided
below and cannot accept any restriction of that right.
(A) 500 Kilovolt (kV) System
BPA will normally operate its 500 kV transmission system in a
range from the nominal voltage to 10 percent above the
nominal voltage (500 to 550 kV).
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 17 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(B) 115 to 345 kV System
BPA usually operates its 115 to 345 kV transmission system
within +/-5 percent of the nominal voltage. BPA may allow
some of its transmission lines or facilities to operate above or
below the normal voltage limits where no substantive damage
will occur from this operation.
(2) Voltage Levels at Points of Delivery
When the nominal voltage at the Transmission Customer's points of
delivery is 115 kV or more, BPA will deliver power to the
Transmission Customer at the operating voltage of the transmission
system. If the nominal voltage at the Transmission Customer's points
of delivery is below 115 kV, the delivery voltage may differ from the
operating voltage of the transmission system as a result of the
"turns ratio" and impedance of the transformer providing the delivery
servIce.
(3) Voltage Schedules
Voltage schedules are necessary for the efficient and reliable
transmission of electrical power. BPA will estaplish a voltage
schedule for each critical or key substation, as determined by BP A.
Depending on the hourly operating requirements at each substation
and at each point of generation interconnection, BP A will issue a
target voltage (setpoint) for the voltage schedule. At any time, BP A
may reset the voltage schedule. The Transmission Customer agrees
to take all appropriate actions to help BP A maintain the established
voltage schedule.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 18 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(4) Reactive Power
Each Party agrees to design, construct, operate, maintain, and use its
electric facilities in accordance with Good Utility Practice to minimize
the reactive power requirements placed on the other Party.
At times during abnormal system conditions, BP A may need the
Transmission Customer to supply additional reactive power from its
reactive sources (relative to normal requirements) to maintain
reasonable voltage levels. The Transmission Customer agrees to use
reasonable efforts to comply with BPA's request.
(5) Balancing Phase Demands
The current on anyone phase may not deviate by more than 5 percent
from the average of the currents on all three phases, unless otherwise
agreed by the Parties.
(6) Voltage and Current Harmonic Control
Each Party agrees to design, construct, operate, maintain, and use its
electric facilities in accordance with Good Utility Practice to reduce, to
acceptable levels, the harmonic currents and voltages which pass into
the other Party's facilities. To that end, the Parties will be guided by
the recommended practices and requirements for harmonic control
specified in The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
(IEEE) Electrical Power System Standard 519-1992, or its successor.
The Parties will accomplish harmonic reductions using equipment
which is specifically designed, and permanently operated and
maintained, as an integral part of the facilities of the Party which
owns the system on which the harmonics are generated.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 19 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(7) Voltage Fluctuation and Flicker
Voltage fluctuation and flicker is normally detectable through visible
variations in light intensity. However, flicker may be present even
when no light variations are detectable. Since flicker is disruptive to
lighting and can damage or disrupt operation of electronic equipment,
it must be controlled. IEEE Recommended Practices and
Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems
(IEEE Standard 519) provides definitions and limits on acceptable
levels of voltage flicker, as set by IEEE 519. Both Parties agree to
control voltage flicker on their respective systems as required by the
IEEE standard.
10. DELIVERIES BY TRANSFER
(a) If BP A delivers power to the Transmission Customer over third party
facilities through a Transferor, BPA will use its best efforts to ensure that
the Transferor provides such service in a manner that is comparable in
quality to direct Federal service.
(b) Although a Transmission Customer may receive its BPA power service
through a Transferor, the following contractual requirements relating to the
installation, operation, and maintenance of facilities will apply as if the
service were provided directly by BP A: (1) requirements to reduce the
Transmission Customer's reactive power requirements to acceptable levels;
(2) requirements to reduce harmonics currents and voltages caused by the
Transmission Customer's system or its consumer's loads to acceptable levels;
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 20 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
and (3) requirements to reduce voltage flicker caused by the Transmission
Customer's system on consumer's loads to acceptable levels.
11. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
(a) Maintenance Requirements
(1) The Parties shall establish procedures to coordinate the maintenance
schedules of their generating resources and transmission and
substation facilities, to ensure sufficient transmission resources are
available to maintain system reliability and reliability of service. The
Parties shall use the standards of the NWPP as the standard for
scheduling maintenance.
(2) The Parties shall: (A) obtain concurrence from the other Party, at
least 72 hours before beginning any scheduled maintenance of its
facilities that could impact the other Party's transmission system
and/or the safety of either Party's system; and (B) notify the other
Party when the Transmission Customer is ready to begin
maintenance on a Network Resource, transmission line, or substation
(operated at 60 kV and above) that could imp,act the other Party's
transmission system. The Parties shall immediately notify each other
at the time when any unscheduled or forced outages occur and again
when such unscheduled or forced outages end. The Parties shall
notify and coordinate with each other prior to reconnecting the
Network Resource, transmission line, or substation.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 21 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(3) Maintenance schedules will be posted on the OASIS consistent with
OASIS rules for posting.
(b) Outages
The Parties or a Transferor may temporarily interrupt, reduce, or shift
deliveries of electric power if either Party determines that such interruption
or reduction is necessary or desirable in case of system emergencies,
operational constraints, Uncontrollable Forces, or to install equipment in,
make repairs to, make replacements within, conduct investigations and
inspections of, or perform other maintenance work on the Parties' facilities or
the Transferor's facilities. To the extent reasonable or appropriate, the
Parties will use temporary facilities or equipment to minimize the effect of
any such interruption or outage.
(c) Emergency or Breakdown Relief
(1) If a Party requires additional power to meet its needs during a system
emergency, such affected Party may ask the other to supply the
needed power. Upon request, the other Party will supply as much of
the requested power as possible, consistent with its reserve
requirements and obligations to its other customers. The supplier's
determination of the amount of power available for this purpose is
final and conclusive.
(2) ~f either Party supplies power to the other under section (a) above and
requests replacement of that power, the other will make an
equivalent amount of power available to the supplier and at such
times as may be agreed upon by the respective parties' dispatchers. If
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 22 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
the Party supplying the power does not request replacement of that
power, the other will pay for the power at the price established at the
time of delivery.
(d) Voltage Imbalance
When the Transmission Customer detects, at its points of delivery or points
of interconnection with BP A, any voltage imbalance that could cause
\
equipment damage, the Transmission Customer is responsible for taking
appropriate action to prevent or minimize such damage and loss of service
and reporting the condition to BPA's system operator or dispatcher.
12. EMERGENCY PLANNING AND OPERATION
(a) BP A shall be responsible for planning, coordination, and implementing
emergency operation schemes. Examples of such schemes include but are
not limited to, the NWPP underfrequency load shedding program, the
undervoltage load shedding program, and the system restoration plan.
There may be additional schemes that meet the NWPP, WSCC, and RTG
reliability planning objectives. If BP A identifies reliability objectives beyond
the NWPP, WSCC, and RTG objectives, they shall be communicated to the
Transmission Customer(s). The need to identify additional objectives may
involve, but not necessarily be limited to, anticipated reduction in system
restoration time following blackout or brownout emergencies.
(b) The Transmission Customer shall: (1) participate in the development of load
shedding programs for system security; (2) install and maintain the required
load shedding relays, including but not necessarily limited to underfrequency
and undervoltage relays; and (3) participate in system restoration planning.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 23 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
Disputes with any of the requirements specified by BP A shall be resolved
through the applicable dispute resolution process described in the applicable
Tariff.
13. INFORMATION AND METERING REQUIREMENTS
Metering Requirements At Transmission Customer Facilities
Basic metering requirements are identified below. Particular products and services
that the Transmission Customer chooses may require additional metering. Any
such additional metering requirement will be identified by BP A before the
Transmission Customer makes its product selection.
(a) Points of Interconnection for Generation
The following metering requirements apply to points of generation
interconnection onto BPA's system for the Transmission Customer's
Resources. Resources will be evaluated individually for the purpose of
determining metering requirements. If BP A demonstrates a planning,
operational, or billing need for meters other than those specified below, BPA
may install such meters at its own expense.
Notwithstanding the provisions specified in sections (1) through (4), below,
any Transmission Customer Resource of less than 15 MW that is located
outside the Transmission Customer's own service area must be metered on
an HDRM basis unless all three affected parties (BPA, the resource owner,
and the utility within whose service area the resource resides) agree to a
negotiated average hourly output.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 24 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
For purposes of the BPA determinations detailed below, "resource rating" is
equal to the sum of all resource components integrated at a single site.
(1) Resources Less Than 1 MW (Existing and New)
If the Transmission Customer's resource has a peak capability of less
than 1 MW, no metering is generally required. However, BP A
reserves the right to install metering at its own expense if it is
needed. BP A will either treat the resource as "negative load" or will
negotiate an estimated hourly average output with the Transmission
Customer. The Service Agreement will specify how such hourly
estimates will be recorded.
(2) Existing Resources From 1 MW to 3 MW
If the Transmission Customer's resource, existing on the Effective
Date, has a peak capability of at least 1 MW but less than 3 MW, BP A
will determine whether to meter the resource output on an HDRM
basis or designate an output that is equal to the appropriate
generation capacity factor (peak capability of the resource multiplied
by a default capacity factor of 60 percent for hydro and 90 percent for
all other resources). BPA's determination and the resource data
(name and size of the resource) will be recorded in the Service
Agreement. BP A will pay for any required meters.
(3) Existing Resources From 3 MW to 15 MW
If the Transmission Customer's resource has a peak capability of at
least 3 MW but less than 15 MW, BPA will determine whether to:
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 25 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(A) use an appropriate generation capacity factor (peak capability
of the resource multiplied by a default factor of 60 percent for
hydro and 90 percent for all other resources); or
(B) install telemetering, HDRH, and/or hourly metering at its own
expense to meter the output of any Transmission Customer
resource existing on the Effective Date. BPA's determination
will be recorded in the Service Agreement.
(4) Existing Resources Over 15 MW
To meter the output of any Transmission Customer resource that is
existing on the Effective Date and is 15 MW or more in size, BP A
may, at its own expense, install telemetering (analog and HDRH) and
HDRM metering.
(5) New Resources or Upgraded Resources from 1 MWto 3 MW
If, after the Effective Date, the Transmission Customer acquires a
resource of 1 MW to 3 MW in size or upgrades an existing resource
such that its peak capability is now at least 1 MW, but less than
3 MW, the Transmission Customer must meter such resource hourly
at its own expense to provide HDRM to BP A for billing purposes. The
Transmission Customer and BP A agree to negotiate the estimated
average hourly output to be used for operational purposes.
(6) New Resources or Upgraded Resources 3 MW or More
If, after the Effective Date, the Transmission Customer (or one of its
consumers) acquires a resource that has a peak capability of 3 MW or
more, the Transmission Customer will meter such resource at its own
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 26 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
expense using telemetering and HDRH metering unless another
arrangement is approved by BP A. The reactive power (kvarh)
metering must record both lagging and leading reactive power
quantities.
(b) Points of AGC Interchange
The following metering is required for each AGC Interchange point (a point
on a Control Area boundary between two Control Areas):
(1) telemetering of the kW at such point; and
(2) metering with HDRH capable of providing summaries, within
3 minutes of the end of each clock-hour, of the kWh and kvarh
(lagging and leading) exchanged during the previous hour.
(c) Other Electrical Connections
(1) Unless BPA grants an exception, the Transmission Customer must
have all electrical interconnections with BP A other than AGC
interchange points and points of generation integration metered for
HDRM for both kWh and kVArh (lagging and leading) quantities.
(A) Hourly metering will be installed by BP A unless BP A agrees to
other arrangements. A mutually acceptable schedule for such
installation will be negotiated between BP A and the
Transmission Customer, subject to availability of BP A
resources. If the Transmission Customer wants to receive
expedited metering installation, the Transmission Customer
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 27 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
will bear the extra cost of resources necessary to provide that
expedited installation.
(B) If BP A agrees to other electronic metering arrangements as
provided in (A) above, BP A will have no maintenance
responsibility for the metering unless paid maintenance
arrangements are made.
(2) If, at a given point, there is no metering in place that reports data to
BP A on an electronic, basis every month, metering data collected by
the Transmission Customer must be delivered to BPA's billing
operatIon groups within 24 hours of the end of the billing period. BP A
reserves the right to require other metering to be installed at the
Transmission Customer's expense if the Transmission Customer's
data is late more than twice in any 12-month period.
(d) Eccentric Loads
The Transmission Customer will separately meter each of its Eccentric
Loads using telemetering equipment or the equivalent. Transmission
Customers buying load regulation from BPA must notify BPA if they have a
consumer whose load qualifies as an eccentric load.
(e) Metering Standards
(1) Unless BPA grants an exception, all metering installations are to be
designed to meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Standard C12 (American National Standard Code for Electricity).
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 28 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(2) All meters at new installations where the interconnections are
"normally closed" must be capable of providing hourly data
electronically (either HDRM or HDRH, as required) unless BPA
otherwise agrees.
(3) BPA will determine whether hourly data or meter slips are required
for those interconnections that are normally operated in the "normally
open" mode.
(4) All meters providing data electronically to BPA must be compatible
with BPA's electronic metering systems.
(5) As of the Effective Date, BP A principally uses a telemetering system,
a kWh system, and a RMS for metering. There may be acceptable
alternatives to each of these specific systems. The Transmission
Customer agrees to consult with BP A to ensure compatibility of any
Transmission Customer meter with BPA's then-current metering
system.
(6) Meters at loads of 1 MW or more in peak demand must be in the
0.2 percent accuracy class or better. Meters at loads of less than
1 MW peak demand must be in the 0.5 percent accuracy class or
better. Instrument transformers must have a metering accuracy of
0.3 percent when current, voltage, and metering transformer loadings
(burdens) are all within rated limits.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 29 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(7) The Transmission Customer agrees to coordinate with BP A to
determine BPA's information and communication needs when
designing future meter installations.
(8) BPA-installed metering is to be used exclusively for BPA purposes
unless otherwise agreed.
(9) Until the required metering capability is installed (assuming it is not
installed by the Effective Date), the Parties will calculate hourly
quantities using the load factor at the metering point to determine the
Heavy Load Hour (HLH)/Light Load Hour (LLH) split for energy
delivered to that point. For points of delivery with no meter for
recording demand, demand will be deemed to be the average energy
delivery multiplied by a multiplier specified in the applicable
transmission rate schedule for the Transmission Customer's firm
power service. For all calculations other than demand, the energy
will be spread evenly across the hours within each diurnal period. If
this arrangement is not acceptable to BP A or to the Transmission
Customer, the dissatisfied party may pay to have hourly metering
installed. The default (load factor) billing approach will be used until
such hourly metering can be installed. No retroactive billing
adjustments will be made after the metering is installed.
(10) Either Party has the right to install, at its own expense, meters
meeting the standards provided in this section whenever a default
billing methodology is being used in lieu of physical metering.
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit F, Page 30 of 34
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(11) Unless otherwise agreed, BPA will own and maintain RMS equipment
which is used for BPA business purposes and which is installed on or
after the Effective Date, without regard to who originally paid for the
equipment. The Transmission Customer agrees to give BP A "first
right of refusal" for performing meter maintenance. BP A will bill the
Transmission Customer for maintenance performed by BP A and for
any needed replacement of meters that were originally purchased by
the Transmission Customer.
(12) If any Transmission Customer meter used to supply billing data fails
to meet BPA standards for accuracy and reliability, BPA may, at
Transmission Customer expense, have such metering repaired or
replaced with a meter that complies with BP A standards.
(f) Data, Information, and Reports
The Transmission Customer shall provide BP A with a transmission schedule
pursuant to the Transmission Scheduling Provisions, Exhibit G, of the
Service Agreement.
(g) Data Reporting Requirements
(1) When HDRH data is required, hourly metered data for points of AGC
interchange must be furnished electronically to BPA's Dittmer and
Munro Control Centers within 3 minutes after the end of each clock-
hour. Data is to be reported through the BPA kWh metering system,
inter-utility data exchange system (IDES) or an approved alternative.
(2) Hourly metered data for:

Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
(A) points of delivery (excluding points of AGC Interchange);
(B) new large single load (NLSLs); and
(C) eccentric loads is to be furnished to BP A at least once a month
(HDRM), at the end of BPA's billing cycle for the Transmission
Customer.
(3) The Transinission Customer agrees to submit a meter slip to BP A for
all metering points which do not currently have:
(A) metering capable of providing hourly kWh and kvarh
quantities to BP A; or
(B) electronic communications for such metered amounts (through
the RMS or equivalent).
(4) When required, telemetered data must be furnished to BPA's Dittmer
and Munro Control Centers continuously on a real-time basis via 10-

TRANSMISSION SCHEDULING PROVISIONS
1. PURPOSE OF THIS EXHIBIT
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe how the Parties will effect transmission
transactions under this Service Agreement.
2. EXHIBIT PROVISIONS
(a) Scheduling Principles
The procedures in this exhibit are intended to achieve the following
principles:
(1) promote efficient system operations; and
(2) provide workable scheduling procedures for the timely delivery of
power.
(b) Control Area Requirements
(1) In order to schedule power, a Transmission Customer must designate
a Host Control Area (HCA) as defined by NERC to implement its
schedules. The HCA may be the sending Control Area, the receiving
Control Area, or an intermediary Control Area.
(2) BP A shall be the HCA for any transaction involving either:
(A) generation located within BPA's Control Area; or
(B) service to a load within BPA's Control Area.
(3) If BP A is the intermediary Control Area in a single transaction or set
of transactions, the Transmission Customer may designate a HCA
other than BPA. The Transmission Customer must inform BPA of its
choice no later than the time of preschedule. BP A has no obligation to
accept schedules from any HCA that does not agree to abide by the
scheduling requirements set forth in this exhibit.
(4) If the Transmission Customer has designated a HCA for a single
schedule, it must remam the HCA for the entire duration of the
schedule. In the event the Transmission Customer fails to identify a
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
Exhibit G, Page 2 of 6
Service Agreement No. 96MS-96090
The City of Port Angeles
Effective at 2400 hours
on September 30, 1996
RCA for its next schedule, BP A will assume that the designated RCA
is the same entity as designated for the Transmission Customer's last
schedule. Any designation changes shall be made pursuant to
Article 3 of this Service Agreement.
(5) The Transmission Customer may arrange interchange schedules;
however, the RCA shall confirm and then implement the interchange
schedule. The RCA is responsible to the WSCC and NERC for the
interchange scheduling arrangements of the Transmission Customer,
including the responsibility for resolving any inadvertent energy
accumulation that may result from the Transmission Customer's
incorrect or uncoordinated scheduling of the interchange.
(6) Any Transmission Customer for whom BPA is the RCA must schedule
transmission to or from BPA's Control Area, i.e., the Transmission
Customer's Scheduling Agent is BPA for purposes of scheduling
transmission under this exhibit.
(7) Any Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent using a RCA
other than BP A must establish and verify schedules with other
Control Areas through the RCA, but the RCA is responsible for
implementing and assuring the accuracy of the schedule.
(c) Coordinating Requirements
(1) All schedules must be provided to BPA on Workdays (defined as any
day both Parties consider a workday).
(2) Schedules apply to the following day or days (if the following day or
days are not Workdays).
(3) Scheduled hourly values are to be referenced by the "hour ending"
time on the 24-hour Clock (i.e., the schedule for 2-3 p.m. is referred as
the "hour ending 15").
(4) Unless otherwise agreed, all schedules will be effectuated on
an hourly basis using the standard 20-minute ramp period centered
on the hour (i.e., beginning 10 minutes prior to the hour and ending
10 minutes after the hour).
(5) All schedules with BP A are to be stated in Pacific Time (PT) and are
to begin with the hour ending 1.

(6) The Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent agrees to submit
all hourly prescheduled quantities in whole megawatthour amounts.
(d) Pre scheduling Requirements
Pre scheduling is the process of establishing hourly schedules through the
following Workday(s).
(1) Pre schedule Submissions
(A) The Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent agrees to
submit schedule(s) covering all Non-Federal transactions into,
out of, or within BPA's Control Area.
(B) BP A may require Transmission Customers or its Scheduling
Agent to submit estimated pre schedules prior to the final
preschedule.
(C) The Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent agrees to
submit a final hourly preschedule for the next day or days by
1000 of each Workday.
(D) The maximum number of pre schedule days is 4 days, except
that by mutual agreement BPA may accept preschedules for up
to 5 or 6 days as needed to accommodate a Transmission
Customer's special scheduling requirements for contiguous
weekend-holiday periods. (For example, BPA will accept
schedules for the period Thanksgiving Thursday through
Monday if the Transmission Customer observes the Friday
after Thanksgiving as a holiday.)
(2) Information Required to Be Included in Pre schedule
Any schedule submitted to BP A by the Transmission Customer or its
Scheduling Agent must include, at a minimum, the following
information:
(A) the RCA;
(B) the supplier, receiver, and wheeling entities involved in the
transaction;
(C) the MW amount of the schedule;

(D) the starting and ending times for each schedule;
(E) the transmission service being scheduled; and
(F) the point of receipt/delivery for the transaction.
(e) Changes from Pre schedule
(1) The Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent may not change
the hourly amounts of its preschedules except by mutual agreement
with BPA. Notwithstanding such right, the Transmission Customer
or its Scheduling Agent will use good faith efforts to avoid requests for
changes from preschedule.
(2) To the extent changes from the preschedule become necessary, the
Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent must submit such
requests no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled hour for
which the change becomes effective.
(3) Multihour changes from preschedule shall specify an "hour beginning"
and an "hour ending" and shall never be stated as "until further
notice."
(4) Upon a Transmission Customer's or its Scheduling Agent's request,
BP A will consider midhour changes from pre schedule under critical
operating conditions such as loss of a resource or transmission path.
The Transmission Customer or its Scheduling Agent and BPA must
agree to the effective time, ramp duration, integrated, and revised net
schedules for midhour changes. Midhour schedule changes shall not
be made for economic or load shaping purposes. Such changes are
subject to applicable charges.
