18. Metering. In accordance with Section 3.8.3 of the Interconnection
Agreement, the Buyer has considered several options proposed by NYSEG for the
installation of Revenue Meters associated with the Fossil Plants. The Buyer has
selected the Revenue Metering option (a) for all of the Fossil Plants (except
for the Milliken and Kintigh generating stations) that entails the replacement
of existing Revenue Meters, located on the low voltage side of the GSU
transformers, and the use of fixed compensation factors for GSU transformer
losses, (b) for the Fossil Plant designated as the Milliken generating station
that entails the installation of "compensation type" Revenue Meters installed on
the low voltage side of the GSU transformers, and (c) for the Fossil Plant
designated as Kintigh generating station that entails the replacement of the
existing Revenue Meters located in the substation on the 345 kV bus. The
implementation of the Revenue Meter options by NYSEG and the Buyer is described
in more detail in Schedule A to the Interconnection Agreement. The
implementation of the Revenue Meter Option at the Fossil Plants (including
installation, testing and operation of Revenue Meters) shall be completed on or
before the earlier of (a) the Fossil Plant's next scheduled outage after the
date (the "Closing Date") that the Buyer assumes title to the Fossil Plants, or
(b) two (2) years after the Closing Date. NYSEG shall use reasonable efforts to
perform work associated with the implementation of the Revenue Meter options
during those periods in which the Buyer schedules an outage of a respective
Fossil Plant. The Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to insure that most current
Fossil Plant outage schedules are supplied to NYSEG to facilitate NYSEG's
efforts to coordinate the completion of the Revenue Meter replacements. Any
outage schedule for Revenue Meter installation shall be by mutual agreement of
the parties. If the Buyer must schedule an outage of a particular Fossil Plant,
or Fossil Plants, to accommodate work to be performed by NYSEG in implementing
the Revenue Meter options, of if any work undertaken by NYSEG in connection with
the implementation of the Revenue Meter options results in an outage of a Fossil
Plant(s), and such outage is not caused by NYSEG's gross negligence or
intentional act, NYSEG shall have no liability to the Buyer for such outage,
including any liability for the Buyer's lost revenue or profits. From the period
commencing with the Closing Date to the date that the implementation of a
Revenue Meter option is complete for a particular Fossil Plant, NYSEG shall
operate, maintain and read Revenue Meters in the manner described in Appendix N
of this Agreement.

METERING ACCURACY AND ADJUSTMENT
All metering systems must meet NYSEG as well as NYISO requirements as defined in
the Operating Procedures, Section 4, of the "NYISO Manual for Control Center
Requirements". NYSEG shall provide to the Buyer all relevant test procedures and
any future revisions to such procedures upon Buyer's reasonable request.
NYSEG shall have access to all revenue metering systems located within the
Buyer's facilities for performance of maintenance, calibration and testing. It
is preferable, and in some cases necessary, to test the revenue meters during
scheduled plant or individual unit outages. The Buyer is required to provide
NYSEG with its annual outage schedule for each of its generating facilities.
NYSEG will coordinate meter tests with the Buyer's designated representative at
each facility and will strive to schedule revenue meter tests within the
scheduled outage times, wherever possible and/or practical.
Revenue meters will be tested annually in accordance with test and calibration
procedures defined in the "New York State Electric Meter Engineers' Committee
Guide for Uniform Practices in Inter-Utility Metering", Appendix A, Section 4 of
the aforementioned manual. The Buyer is responsible for maintenance and
calibration expenses of revenue meters, associated instrument transformers,
wiring, and all components essential to their accurate and reliable operation,
including spare equipment, if applicable.
Beyond any NYS PSC rules, each metering system will be subject to periodic
testing by NYSEG and/or the NYISO at the request of either party. If any
inspection request is initiated, other than periodic routine testing, the nature
and magnitude of the suspected accuracy problem must be stated. If after
inspection it is determined that the suspected metering is within
specifications, the requester will be responsible for testing expenses incurred.
NYSEG will prepare a test and calibration report for each revenue meter test and
will maintain related like records for a period not more than seven years. NYSEG
shall provide to AES a copy of each such meter test report for each Fossil
Plant.
All revenue metering shall be calibrated within the guidelines described in
Section 4 appendices of the NYISO Manual for Control Center Requirements.
Maintenance and calibration shall be performed by NYSEG or its designated
representative, who will maintain control over the equipment in accordance with
NYS PSC rules and regulations.
NYISO dispute resolution procedures will be used in cases involving metering
inaccuracies or if billing data is lost due to a meter or communication system
failure where the parties in dispute cannot reach agreement. NYSEG will use the
best available information to adjust or to fill in values for lost billing data.
In all cases, NYSPSC rules will be enforced.
