              8.1       Capacity Payments

                        Seller shall sell to Edison and Edison shall purchase
                        from Seller capacity pursuant to the Capacity Payment
                        Option selected by Seller in Section 1.10. The Capacity
                        Payment Schedules will be based on Edison's full avoided
                        operating costs as approved by the Commission throughout
                        the life of this Contract.

              8.1.1     Capacity Payment Option A -- As Available Capacity. If
                        Seller selects Capacity Payment Option A, Seller shall
                        be paid a monthly capacity payment calculated pursuant
                        to the following formula:

              MONTHLY CAPACITY PAYMENTS = (A x D)+(B x D)+(C x D)

              Where A = kWh purchased by Edison at the Point of
                        Interconnection during on-peak periods defined in
                        Edison's Tariff Schedule No. TOU-8

                    B = kWh purchased by Edison at the Point of Interconnection
                        during mid-peak periods defined in Edison's Tariff
                        Schedule No. TOU-8.

                    C = kWh purchased by Edison at the Point of Interconnection
                        during off-peak periods defined in Edison's Tariff
                        Schedule No. TOU-8.

                    D = The appropriate time differentiated capacity price from
                        either the Standard Capacity Payment Schedule or
                        Forecast of Annual As-Available Capacity Payment
                        Schedule as specified by Seller in Section 1.10.

              8.1.1.1   If Seller specifies the Standard Offer No. 1 Capacity
                        Payment Schedule in Section 1.10, then the formula set
                        forth in Section 8.1.1 shall be computed with D equal to
                        the appropriate time differentiated capacity price from
                        the Standard Offer No. 1 Capacity Payment Schedule for
                        the Contract Term.

              8.1.1.2   If Seller specifies the Forecast of Annual As-Available
                        Capacity Payment Schedule in Section 1.10, the formula
                        set forth in Section 8.1.1 shall be computed as follows:

                        a.   During the First Period of the Contract Term D
                             shall equal the appropriate time differentiated
                             capacity price from the Forecast of Annual
                             As-Available Capacity Payment Schedule.

                        b.   During the Second Period of the Contract Term, the
                             formula shall be computed with D equal to the
                             appropriate time


                                       26


                             differentiated capacity price from Standard Offer
                             No. 1 Capacity Payment Schedule, but not less than
                             the greater of (i) the appropriate time
                             differentiated capacity price from the Forecast of
                             Annual As-Available Capacity Payment Schedule for
                             the last year of the First Period, or (ii) the
                             appropriate time differentiated capacity price from
                             the Standard Offer No. 1 Capacity Payment Schedule
                             for the first year of the Second Period.

              8.1.2.2   Performance Requirements

                        To receive the Monthly Capacity Payment in Section
                        8.1.2.1, Seller shall provide the Contract Capacity in
                        each Peak Month for all on-peak hours as such peak hours
                        are defined in Edisons Tariff Schedule No. TOU-8 on file
                        with the Commission, except that Seller is entitled to a
                        20% allowance for Forced Outages for


                                       28


                        each Peak Month. Seller shall not be subject to such
                        performance requirements for the remaining hours of the
                        year.

                        a.   If Seller fails to meet the requirements specified
                             in Section 8.1.2.2, Seller, in Edison's sole
                             discretion, may be placed on probation for a period
                             not to exceed 15 months. If Seller fails to meet
                             the requirements specified in Section 8.1.2.2
                             during the probationary period, Edison may derate
                             the Contract Capacity to the greater of the
                             capacity actually delivered during the probationary
                             period, or the capacity at which Seller can
                             reasonably meet such requirements. A reduction in
                             Contract Capacity as a result of this Section
                             8.1.2.2 shall be subject to Section 8.1.2.6.

                        b.   If Seller fails to meet the requirements set forth
                             in Section 8.1.2.2 due to a Forced Outage on the
                             Edison system or a request to reduce or curtail
                             delivery under Section 8.4, Edison shall continue
                             Monthly Capacity Payments pursuant to Capacity
                             Payment Option B. The Contract Capacity curtailed
                             shall be treated the same as scheduled maintenance
                             outages in the Calculation of the Monthly Capacity
                             Payment.

              8.1.2.3   If Seller is unable to provide Contract Capacity due to
                        Uncontrollable Forces, Edison shall continue Monthly
                        Capacity


                                       29



                        Payments for 90 days from the occurrence of the
                        Uncontrollable Force. Monthly Capacity Payments payable
                        during a period of interruption or reduction by reason
                        of an Uncontrollable Force shall be treated the same as
                        scheduled maintenance outages. An Uncontrollable Force
                        on the Interconnecting Utility's electrical system which
                        results in an interruption or a reduction in the
                        delivery of electrical energy generated by the
                        Generating Facility to the Point of Interconnection
                        shall be specifically excluded from the provisions of
                        this Section 8.1.2.3.

              8.1.2.4   Hydroelectric facilities which have their Contract
                        Capacity based on five dry-year average, shall not have
                        their Contract Capacity derated when failure to meet the
                        requirements set forth in Section 8.1.2.2 is due solely
                        to the occurrence of a dry year which is drier than the
                        five dry-year average.

              8.1.2.5   Capacity Bonus Payment

         For Capacity Payment Option B, Seller may receive a Capacity Bonus
Payment as follows:

                        a.   Bonus During Peak Months -- For a Peak Month,
                             Seller shall receive a Capacity Bonus Payment if
                             (i) the requirements set forth in Section 8.1.2.2
                             have been met, and (ii) the on-peak capacity factor
                             exceeds 85%.


                                       30



                        b.   Bonus During Non-Peak Months - For a non-peak
                             month, Seller shall receive a Capacity Bonus
                             Payment if (i) the requirements set forth in
                             Section 8.1.2.2 have been met, (ii) the on-Peak
                             capacity factor for each Peak Month during the year
                             was at least 85%, and (iii) the on-peak capacity
                             factor for the non-peak month exceeds 85%.

                        c.   For any eligible month, the Capacity Bonus Payment
                             shall be calculated as follows:

                      CAPACITY BONUS PAYMENT= A x B x C x D

                   Where  A = (1.2 x On-Peak Capacity Factor) - 1.02

                   Where the On-Peak Capacity Factor, not to exceed 1.0, is
                   calculated as follows:

                              (Period kWh purchased by Edison at the Point of
                              Interconnection limited by the level of Contract
                              Capacity)
                              --------------------------------------------------
  On-Peak Capacity Factor =   ((Contract Capacity) x (Period Hours minus
                              Maintenance Hours Allowed in Section 4.5))

                          B = Contract Capacity Price specified in Section 1.10
                              for Capacity Payment Option B

                          C = 1/12

                          D = Contract Capacity specified in Section 1.5


                                       31



                        d.   When Seller is entitled to receive a Capacity Bonus
                             Payment, the Monthly Capacity Payment shall be the
                             sum of the Monthly Capacity Payment pursuant to
                             Section 8.1.2.1 and the Monthly Capacity Bonus
                             Payment pursuant to this Section.

              8.1.2.6   Capacity Reduction

                        a.   Seller may reduce the Contract Capacity specified
                             in Section 1.5, provided that Seller gives Edison
                             prior written notice for a period determined by the
                             amount of Contract Capacity reduced as follows:

   Amount of Contract                                      Length of Capacity

                             Edison would have paid if based on the Adjusted
                             Capacity Price.

                        c.   From the date the reduction notice is received to
                             the date of actual capacity reduction, Edison shall
                             make capacity payments based on the Adjusted
                             Capacity Price for the amount of Contract Capacity
                             being reduced.

                        d.   Seller may reduce Contract Capacity without the
                             notice prescribed in Section 8.1.2.6(a), provided
                             that Seller shall refund to Edison the amount
                             specified in section 8.1.2.6(b) and an amount equal
                             to: (i) the amount of Contract Capacity being
                             reduced, times (ii) the difference between the
                             Current Capacity Price and the Contract Capacity
                             Price, times (iii) the number of years and
                             fractions thereof (not less than one year) by which
                             the Seller has been deficient in giving prescribed
                             notice. If the Current Capacity Price is less than
                             the Contract Capacity Price only payment under
                             Section 8.1.2.6(b) shall be due to Edison.

                        delivered by Seller and purchased by Edison at the Point
                        of Interconnection at a rate equal to 100% of Edison's
                        published avoided cost of energy based on Edison's full
                        avoided operating cost as updated periodically and
                        accepted by the Commission, pursuant to the following
                        formula:

MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = kWh purchased by Edison at the Point of Interconnection
                         for each on-peak, mid-peak, and


                                       40


                         off-peak time period defined in Edison's Tariff
                         Schedule No. TOU-8

                       x Edison's published avoided cost of energy by time of

              8.4       Edison shall not be obligated to accept or pay for
                        Energy, and may request Seller whose Generating Facility
                        is one (1) MW or greater to discontinue or reduce
                        delivery of Energy, for not more than 300 hours annually
                        during off-peak hours when (i) purchases would result in
                        costs greater than those which Edison would incur if it
                        did not purchase Energy from Seller but instead utilized
                        an equivalent amount of Energy generated from another
                        Edison source, or (ii) the Edison Electric System demand
                        would require that Edison hydro-energy be spilled to
                        reduce generation.

             8.5       Energy Payment Refund

                        If Seller elects Energy Payment Option 2, Seller shall

                                  Section 1.2.2.1, and at the time of such
                                  failure to perform, the net present value of
                                  the cumulative Energy payments received by
                                  Seller pursuant


                                       41



                                  to Energy Payment Option 2 exceeds the net
                                  present value of what Seller would have been
                                  paid pursuant to Energy payment refund equal
                                  to the difference in such net present values
                                  in the year in which the refund is due. The
                                  present value calculation shall be based upon
                                  the rate of Edison's incremental cost of
                                  capital specified in Section 1.11.

                                  which shall insure payment to Edison of the
                                  Energy Payment Refund at any time during the
                                  First Period. Edison may, in its sole
                                  discretion accept another form of security
                                  except that in such instance a 1-1/2 percent
                                  reduction shall then apply to the levelized
                                  forecast referred to in Section 8.2.2 in
                                  computing payments for Energy. Edison shall be

                                  8.2.1.

                        8.5.4     If Edison at any time determines the security
                                  to be otherwise inadequate, and so notifies
                                  Seller, payments thereafter for Energy shall
                                  be 100 percent of the Monthly Energy Payment
                                  provided in Section 8.2.1. If within 30 days
                                  of the date Edison gives notice of such
                                  inadequacies, Seller satisfies Edison's
                                  security requirements, Energy Payment Option 2
                                  shall be reinstated. If Seller fails to
                                  satisfy Edison's security requirements within
                                  the 30-day period, the Energy Payment Refund
                                  provided in Section 8 shall be payable
                                  forthwith.

                                  Edison's check in payment of said amount.

                        9.1.2     If the monthly payment period involves
                                  portions of two different published Energy
                                  payment schedule periods, the monthly Energy
                                  payment shall be prorated on the basis of the
                                  percentage of days at each price.

                        9.1.3     If the payment period is less than 27 days or
                                  greater than 33 days, the capacity payment
                                  shall be prorated on the basis of the average
                                  days per month per year.

                        9.1.4     If within thirty days of receipt of the
                                  statement Seller does not make a report in
                                  writing to Edison of an error, Seller shall be
                                  deemed to have waived any error in Edison's
                                  statement, computation, and payment, and they
                                  shall be considered correct and complete.

                        9.2.1     The Parties agree that the refund and payments
                                  provided in Section 8.1.2.6 represent a fair
                                  compensation for the reasonable losses that
                                  would result from such reduction of Contract
                                  Capacity.


                                       44


                        9.2.2     In the event of a reduction in Contract
                                  Capacity, the quantity, in kW, by which the
                                  Contract Capacity is reduced shall be used to
                                  calculate the refunds and payments due Edison
                                  in accordance with Section 8.1.2.6, as
                                  applicable.

                        9.2.3     Edison shall provide invoices to Seller for

                        9.2.4     If Seller does not make payments as required
                                  in Section 9.2.3, Edison shall have the right
                                  to offset any amounts due it against any
                                  present or future payments due Seller and may
                                  pursue any other remedies available to Edison
                                  as a result of Seller's failure to perform.

                                  8.5.

                                  accordance with the provisions of any valid

                                  Edison.

                        13.2      Prior to the date Seller's Generating Facility
                                  is first operated in parallel with Edison's
                                  electric system, Seller shall (i) furnish
                                  certificate of insurance to Edison, which
                                  certificate shall provide that such insurance
                                  shall not be terminated nor expire except on
                                  thirty days prior written notice Edison, (ii)
                                  maintain such insurance in effect for so long
                                  as Seller's Generating Facility is operated in
                                  parallel with Edison's electric system, and
                                  (iii) furnish to Edison an additional insured
                                  endorsement with respect to such insurance in
                                  substantially the following form:

                                  "In consideration of the premium charged,
                                  Southern California Edison Company (Edison) is
                                  named as additional insured with respect to
                                  all liabilities arising out of Seller's use
                                  and ownership of Seller's Generating
                                  Facility." "The inclusion of more than one
                                  insured under this policy shall not operate to

                                  another insured and the coverages afforded by
                                  this policy will apply as though separate

                                  policies had been issued to each insured. The
                                  inclusion of more than one insured will not,
                                  however, operate to increase the limit of the
                                  carrier's liability. Edison will not, by
                                  reason of its inclusion under this policy,
                                  incur liability to the insurance carrier for
                                  payment of premium for this policy."

                                  "Any other insurance carried by Edison which
                                  may be applicable shall be deemed excess
                                  insurance and Seller's insurance primary for
                                  all purposes despite any conflicting
                                  provisions in Seller's policy to the
                                  contrary."

                                  If the requirement of Section 13.2(iii)
                                  prevents Seller from obtaining the insurance
                                  required in Section 13.1, then upon written
                                  notification by Seller to Edison Section
                                  13.2(iii) shall be waived.

                        13.3      The requirements of this Section 13 shall not
                                  apply to Seller who is a self-insured
                                  governmental agency with established record of
                                  self-insurance. Edison agrees to review
                                  requests by Seller to waive the requirements
                                  of this Section 13 for Seller, who is a
                                  self-insured non-governmental agency with an
                                  established record of self-insurance. Edison's
                                  consent to such waiver shall not be
                                  unreasonably withheld.


                                       50


                        13.4      If Seller fails to comply with the provisions
                                  of this Section 13, Seller shall, at its own
                                  cost, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
                                  Edison, its directors, officers, employees,
                                  agents, assigns, and successors in interest
                                  from and against any and all loss, damage,
                                  claim, cost, charge, or expense of any kind or
                                  nature (including direct, indirect or
                                  consequential loss, damage, claim, cost,
                                  charge, or expense, including attorneys' fees
                                  and other costs of litigation) resulting from
                                  the death or injury to any person or damage to
                                  any property, including the personnel and
                                  property of Edison, to the extent that Edison
                                  would have been protected had Seller complied
                                  with all of the provisions of this Section 13.

              14.       UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES

                        14.1      Neither Party shall be considered to be in
                                  default in the performance of any of the
                                  agreements contained in this Contract, except
                                  for obligations to pay money, when and to the
                                  extent failure of performance shall be caused
                                  by an Uncontrollable Force.

                        14.2      If either Party because of an Uncontrollable
                                  Force is rendered wholly or partly unable to
                                  perform its obligations under this Contract,
                                  the Party shall be excused from whatever
                                  performance


                                       51


                                  is affected by the Uncontrollable Force to the
                                  extent so affected provided that:

                                  (1)  the nonperforming Party, within two weeks
                                       after the occurrence of the
                                       Uncontrollable Force, gives the other
                                       Party written notice describing the
                                       particulars of the occurrence,

                                  (2)  the suspension of performance is of no
                                       greater scope and of no longer duration
                                       than is required by the Uncontrollable
                                       Force,

                                  (3)  the nonperforming Party uses its best
                                       efforts to remedy its inability to
                                       perform (this subsection shall not
                                       require the settlement of any strike,
                                       walkout, lockout or other labor dispute
                                       on terms which, in the sole judgment of
                                       the Party involved in the dispute, are
                                       contrary to its interest. It is
                                       understood and agreed that the settlement
                                       of strikes, walkouts, lockouts or other
                                       `labor disputes shall be at the sole
                                       discretion of the Party having the
                                       difficulty),

                                  (4)  when the nonperforming Party is able to
                                       resume performance of its obligations
                                       under this Contract, that Party shall
                                       give the other Party written notice to
                                       that effect, and


                                       52


                                  (5)  capacity payments during such periods of
                                       Uncontrollable Force on Seller's part
                                       shall be governed by Section 8.1.2.3.

                        14.3      In the event that either Party's ability to
                                  perform cannot be corrected when the
                                  Uncontrollable Force caused by the actions or
                                  inactions of legislative, judicial or
                                  regulatory agencies or other proper authority,
                                  this Contract may be amended to comply with
                                  the legal or regulatory change which caused
                                  the nonperformance.


                                  If a loss of Qualifying Facility status occurs
                                  due to an Uncontrollable Force and Seller
                                  fails to make the changes necessary to
                                  maintain its Qualifying Facility status, the
                                  Seller shall compensate Edison for any
                                  economic detriment incurred by Edison as a
                                  result of such failure.

              15.       NONDEDICATION OF FACILITIES

                        Neither Party, by this Contract, dedicates any part of
                        its facilities involved in this Generating Facility to
                        the public or to the service provided under the
                        Contract, and such service shall cease upon termination
                        of the Contract.


              16.       PRIORITY OF DOCUMENTS

                        If there is a conflict between this document and any
                        Appendix, the provisions of this document shall govern.
                        Each Party shall notify the


                                       53


                        other immediately upon the determination of the
                        existence of any such conflict.

              17.       NOTICES AND CORRESPONDENCE

                        All notices and correspondence pertaining to this
                        Contract shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if

                            Attention: Secretary

                        All notices sent pursuant to this Section 17 shall be
                        effective when received, and each Party shall be
                        entitled to specify as its proper address any other
                        address in the United States upon written notice to the
                        other Party.

              18.       PREVIOUS COMMUNICATIONS

                        This Contract contains the entire agreement and
                        understanding between the Parties, their agents, and
                        employees as to the subject matter of this Contract, and
                        merges and supersedes all prior agreements, commitments,
                        representations, and discussions between the Parties. No
                        Party shall be bound to any prior obligations,


                                       54


                        conditions or representations with respect to the
                        subject matter of this Contract.

              19.       NONWAIVER

                        None of the provisions of the Contract shall be
                        considered waived by either Party except when such
                        waiver is given in writing. The failure of either Edison
                        or Seller to insist in any one or more instances upon
                        strict performance of any of the provisions of the
                        Contract or to take advantage of any of its rights
                        hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such
                        provisions or the relinquishment of any such rights for
                        the future, but the same shall continue to remain in
                        full force and effect.

              20.       SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

                        Neither Party shall voluntarily assign its rights nor
                        delegate its duties under this Contract, or any part of
                        such rights or duties, without the written consent of
                        the other Party, except in connection with the sale or
                        merger of a substantial portion of its properties or
                        except an assignment to an Affiliate. "Affiliate" shall
                        mean a Party's parent, a Party's subsidiary or any
                        company of which a Party's parent is a parent. "Parent"
                        shall mean a company which owns directly or indirectly
                        more than 50% of the shares entitled to vote in an
                        election of directors of another company. Any such


                                       55


                        assignment or delegation made without such written
                        consent shall be null and void. Consent for assignment
                        shall not be withheld unreasonably. Such assignment
                        shall include, unless otherwise specified therein, all
                        of Seller's rights to any refunds which might become due
                        under this Contract.

              21.       EFFECT OF SECTION READINGS

                        Section headings appearing in this Contract are inserted
                        for convenience only, and shall not be construed as
                        interpretations of text.

              22.       GOVERNING LAW

                        construed under the laws of the State of California as
                        if executed and to be performed wholly within the State
                        of California.

              23.       MULTIPLE ORIGINALS

                        which shall be deemed an original.

              24.       TRANSMISSION AND INTERCONNECTION

                        24.1      Seller shall be solely responsible, using all
                                  reasonable efforts, to negotiate and conclude
                                  all required transmission and interconnection
                                  agreements with the Interconnecting Utility.
                                  Such agreements shall provide for the

                                  facilities, as determined by the
                                  Interconnecting Utility, which are necessary
                                  to transmit electrical energy generated by the
                                  Generating Facility to the Point of

                                development of the facilities.

                        24.2.2    An agreement between Seller and the
