TRANSACTION AGREEMENT
This Transaction Agreement ( "Agreement ") is entered into this day of n
2015 (the "Effective Date "), by and between the City of Ukiah, California ( "Ukiah" or "Seller ")
and the City of Biggs, California ( "Biggs" or "Purchaser "), each referred to herein individually
as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties ", regarding the purchase and sale of Resource
Contingent Bundled RECs sourced from Eligible Renewable Energy Resources. Terms
capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the WSPP Agreement,
the California Public Utilities Code, or the CAISO Tariff.
This Agreement is entered into based on the following facts, among others:
A. The State of California has enacted the Renewable Portfolio Standard Program ( "RPS "),
as codified at California Public Utilities Code Section 399.11, et seg., that creates a
number of mandates on local publicly owned electric utilities and retail sellers to procure
renewable energy products.
B. Ukiah and Biggs are members of the Northern California Power Agency ( "NCPA "), and
are project participants in certain geothermal projects that are owned and operated by
NCPA (the "Generating Facilities ").
C. Ukiah desires to sell, and Biggs desires to purchase, energy and associated renewable
attributes produced by the Generating Facilities.
D. This Agreement is made to consummate a renewable energy transaction between the
Parties.
Therefore, the Parties agree as follows:
Transaction:
Product:
As a project participant in the Generating Facilities, Seller has an
entitlement right to the output of the Generating Facilities, which each
qualify as of the Effective Date as an Eligible Renewable Energy
Resource ( "ERR ") under the State of California Renewable Portfolio
Standard Program ( "RPS "), as codified at California Public Utilities Code
Section 399.11, et seq., and Seller desires to sell Product produced by the
Generating Facilities to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
The Parties agree to transact Resource Contingent Bundled REC (the
"Product ") from the Eligible Renewable Energy Resources listed herein.
The Product shall include Energy and associated RECs (otherwise known
as "Portfolio Content Category 1, PCC1 "), but does not include any other
non - renewable and environmental attributes (e.g., Ancillary Services or
Resource Adequacy Capacity).
1
Delivery Period
or Term:
The Term of the transaction shall be October 1, 2015 through the earlier
of: (i) December 31, 2015, or (ii) the date on which the full Contract
Quantity has been delivered from Seller to Purchaser.
Contract Quantity: Up to 2,000 megawatt hours of Resource Contingent Bundled RECs
during the Term of the Transaction. The amount of Product delivered
from Seller to Purchaser during any applicable dispatch interval during the
Term of the Transaction shall be limited to the minimum of either (i)
5.6145% of the total output produced by each Generating Facility listed
herein (City of Ukiah's entitlement interest in each Generating Facility),
or (ii) the amount of Product that is available for Ukiah to transfer after
Ukiah has met its Product delivery obligations as specified in other
transactions it has made to sell Product to third parties.
Contract Price: CAISO Locational Marginal Price calculated at the Delivery Point PNode
per megawatt hour plus $13.00 per REC.

Scheduling:
Transfer Date:
Vintage:
Seller shall deliver Product and schedule it on Purchaser's behalf with the
CAISO in accordance with the requirements and the prevailing protocols
of the CAISO Tariff.
Seller shall transfer RECs from its WREGIS account, or cause RECs to be
transferred from the WREGIS account maintained by NCPA, to the
Purchaser's WREGIS account within 30 calendar days of their receipt.
Purchasers WREGIS account ID is 814. The Parties shall take all
reasonable steps that are necessary to allow the RECs to be transferred
from Seller to Purchaser to be tracked in the WREGIS tracking system
prior to the first delivery under this Agreement.

month in which the electricity is produced and delivered from Seller to
Purchaser during the Term of this Agreement.

Payment:
To simplify the scheduling and settlement process based on the current
CAISO market scheduling and settlement protocols, whereby CAISO will
pay the Seller for the value of the Energy produced and delivered by the
Generating Facility at the Delivery Point on behalf of Purchaser, the
Parties agree that Seller shall schedule and deliver an amount of Energy
consistent with the Contract Quantity during the Delivery Period with and
to the CAISO at the Delivery Point(s), and Seller shall receive payment
for the Energy from the CAISO for such delivery based on the CAISO
Locational Marginal Price. Consequently, Purchaser and Seller hereby
agree to net the payment for Energy Seller receives from the CAISO
against the Contract Price, such that the net payment Seller shall receive
from Purchaser shall be calculated as follows:
Payment Due from Purchaser to Seller = Delivered and Accepted Contract
Quantity * $13.00 per REC
Purchaser shall remit payment to Seller in accordance with the standard
NCPA All Resources Billing timelines.
Environmental
Attributes: The Product is a Resource Contingent Bundled REC sourced from the
Generating Facilities identified herein, but does not include any other
environmental attributes defined currently or in the future. The Parties
agree that the Product will be sourced only from the specific Generating
Facilities identified in this Agreement with no substitutions.
Applicable
Program:
Tracking System:
Furthermore, Seller represents and warrants that throughout the Term:
(i)

(ii) The Product delivered from Seller to Purchaser qualifies under the
requirements of the Applicable Program.
State of California Renewable Portfolio Standard Program ( "RPS "), as
