Value Component 4 - Revenue Sharing Agreement (RSA)
- For Nine Mile Point 2 there will be a ten-year RSA following the PPA.
- RSA provides customers a hedge against higher market prices.
- Revenue sharing payments are tied to actual plant output. Plant output capped at 471 MW (41% of 1,148 MW).
- To the extent market prices (energy and capacity) exceed strike prices, 41% of the value of the plants’ output above the strike price, will be shared 80% to Niagara Mohawk and 20% to Constellation.
- Payments flow from buyer to Niagara Mohawk on a quarterly basis. Negative amounts (i.e., when actual market prices are lower than strike prices) to be carried forward as credits against subsequent payments. Niagara Mohawk will never make payments to Constellation under the terms of the RSA, regardless of future market prices.
- Strike prices are established on a monthly basis. The annual average strike price on a dollar per megawatt-hour basis are as follows:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
