Sec. 302.006. METER GUARANTEES.
(a) This section applies to any energy savings performance contract
that:
(l) provides for any metering or related equipment, system, or
process or procedure; and
(2) includes a meter guarantee by the provider, regardless of
whether the meter guarantee is a part of a broader guarantee
applicable to other energy or water conservation or usage measures or
causally connected work.
{b) Not later than the fifth anniversary of the effective date of an
energy savings performance contract, an engineer shall test a
statistically relevant sample of the meters installed or implemented
under the contract to detezmine or calculate the actual average
accuracy and shall compare the actual average accuracy to the baseline
average accuracy of those tested meters.
(c) A meter guarantee applies if the engineer reports to L•he local
government and the provider that the average accuracy of the tested
meters as of the testing date is less than the baseline average
accuracy of the tested meters as of the testing date.
(d) The amount payable under the meter guarantee must be determined
for each year subject to the engineer's report and is equal to the
difference between:
(1) the agreed increase in billable revenues based on the
estimated accuracy of all of the meters for each year, accozding to
L•he energy savings performance contract; and
(2) the revenues for the same year that would result from
applying the engineer's reported actual average accuracy of the tested
meters to all of the moters subject to the energy savings performance
contract, using the same contract components that were used to
calculate the agreed increase in billable revenues for that year,
assuming the annual decrease in actual average accuracy of all the
30270751.3
Page 14
meters was a pro rata percentage of the reported total decrease in
actual average accuracy.
(e) Notwithstanding Subsection (d), if the meter guarantee in the
contract is part of a broader guarantee applicable to other energy or
water conservation or usage measures or causally connected work under
the contract, the amount payable under the meter guarantee for any
year during the measurement period is xeduced or offset by the
difference between:
(1) the sum of the energy savings and the increase in billable
revenues resulting from the other energy or water conservation or
usage measures or causally connected work for that year during the
measurement period; and
(2) the guaranteed amount of the energy savings and the increase
in billable revenues from the other energy or water conservation or
usage measures or causally connected work for that year during the
measurement period.
(f) A test conducted under this section must be performed in
accordance with the procedures established by the International
Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol or succeeding
standards of the United States Department of Energy,
(g) An engineer conducting a test under this section shall:
(1) verify that the tested meters have been properly maintained
and are operating properly; and '
(2) comply with Section 302.005(c).
