Relationships between industrial cogenerators and electric utilities
- C.H. Guernsey and Co., Oklahoma City, OK (US)
The installation and operation of a cogeneration project at an industrial site usually requires the development of contractual relationships with one or more electric utilities. Some contractual arrangements are usually necessary even if the industrial cogenerator is planning to consume all of the electrical output of the cogeneration facility instead of selling the output to one or more electric utilities. This paper describes the principal issues involved in the development of electric power purchase and sales rates, including supplemental power services, and contract terms and conditions. Attention is given to issues such as utility rate design principles, wheeling, losses and regulatory proceedings. A general approach is described for maximum effectiveness in dealing with electric utilities for the successful implementation of a cogeneration project.
