C. FAILURE COMPLY PENALTY Customers taking service under this rate schedule are subject to the Failure to Comply Penalty Charge, specified in GRSP II.B. D. RATCHET DEMAND RELIEF Under appropriate circumstances, BPA may waive or reduce the Ratchet Demand. An IR customer seeking a reduction or waiver must demonstrate good cause for relief, including a demonstration that: 1. The event that resulted in the Ratchet Demand: a. was the result of an equipment failure or outage that not reasonably have been foreseen by the customer; and b. did not result in harm to transmission system or transmission services, or to ’s any other Transmission Customer; or 2. The event that resulted in the Ratchet Demand: a. was inadvertent; b. could not have been avoided by the exercise of reasonable care; c. did not result in harm to transmission system or transmission services, or to ’s any other Transmission Customer; and d. was not part of a recurring pattern of conduct by the IR customer. If the IR customer causes a Ratchet Demand to be established in a series of months during which the IR customer has not received notice from BPA of such Ratchet Demands by billing or otherwise, and the Ratchet Demand(s) established after the first Ratchet Demand were due to the lack of notice, then BPA may establish a Ratchet Demand for the IR customer based on the highest Ratchet Demand in the series. This highest Ratchet Demand will be charged in the month it is established and the following 11 months. All other Ratchet Demands based on such a series (including the Ratchet Demand established in the first month if it is not the highest Ratchet Demand) will be waived. Ratchet Demand Relief is not available in the month in which the Ratchet Demand was established. For that month, the Customer will be assessed charges based upon the highest hourly Scheduled Demand Billing Factor.
