The Performance Ratio (PR) is the measure of the quality of the design, components and installation
of the Facility. It represents the relationship between the actual energy produced as measured by the
representative energy meter, and the energy theoretically produced by the Modules, before any
losses.
For the purpose of calculating the Guaranteed Performance Ratio, all the following losses shall be
considered as included:
The duration of the Trial Operation shall be ten (10) consecutive full days. Should an extension of time
be required, the test may be extended for a cumulative maximum of five consecutive (5) days, after
which the Trial Operation period will restart.
On each day of the test, the test will be deemed to have commenced at the earlier of commencement
of inverter operation or 50 W/m2 irradiance measured by the plane-of-array pyranometers.
For the period from the start of September to the end of March the test shall be undertaken
so that for a period of no less than 30 hours over the 10-day period the modules shall be
exposed to an irradiance of 600 W/m2 or greater.
For the period from the start of April to the end of August the test shall be undertaken so
that for a period of no less than 30 hours over the 10-day period the modules shall be
exposed to an irradiance of 400 W/m2 or greater.
Irradiance will be measured as the average of all the plane-of-array pyranometers installed
at the Facility. At least two (2) plane-of-array pyranometers shall be available in order to
consider valid the measurement.
22
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
Where pyranometers disagree by greater than 5% over the test period, the lower of the
results shall be disregarded.
The sampling period each day will cease when no further energy from the inverters is being received
and irradiance is below 50W/m2.
The Trial Operation will be considered as successfully completed if the following conditions are met:
Actual Performance Ratio at Take Over (𝑃𝑅𝐴𝐶𝑇_𝑇𝑂 ) ≥ 95% of Guaranteed Performance Ratio
Duration = 10 consecutive days
Facility availability = 99%
SCADA system availability = 100%
Availability of the Facility will be measured at the metering point. The individual availabilities
calculated for each inverter/combiner box are averaged to obtain the Facility availability; this average
is to be weighted by the installed DC capacity of each inverter/combiner box.
𝑇𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡

50W/m2 and none of the exclusions below apply
In the event that during an interval in the Trial Operation period the Availability of the Plant is lower
than 99%, the test will be extended in order to obtain the full 10-day Trial Operation period duration
and the required 99% Availability.
Events that will constitute an extension to the testing time period are:
In calculating the Performance Ratio, data shall be measured over 10-minute intervals (the Sampling
Period). Whenever the inverter is not functioning for all or part of the sampling period, then:
23
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
Where the irradiation is less than 50W/m2 the data is disregarded, or;
Where the irradiation is greater than 50W/m2 the inverter will be considered as unavailable.
Plane-of-array irradiance shall be measured in the same plane as the photovoltaic array by the
pyranometers on each site with accuracy ±2%. The average of the pyranometer readings will be taken
to evaluate the project irradiation for the test excluding any obvious outliers, at the Employer’s
discretion.
The PR is a measure of the quality of the design, components and installation of the Facility. It is the
relationship between the actual energy produced, i.e. the energy measured at the appropriate meter,
and the energy theoretically produced by the Modules (before any losses).

days of their receipt. The Contractor shall incorporate the Buyer's comments received
during such fifteen (15) day period into the protection scheme and the metering plan
and deliver final copies to the Buyer. The Buyer shall approve the final scheme and
plan within seven (7) days or notify the Employer that it does not approve the scheme
and plan, giving its reasons therefore. If the Buyer does not give reasons for not
approving the scheme and plan within such seven (7) day period, the Buyer shall be
deemed to have approved such scheme and plan.
(d) Upon approval by the Buyer, the Contractor shall complete the design and commence
construction of the Metering System. Such installation shall be completed not later
than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled date to begin initial testing of the Plant.
The Contractor shall provide the Buyer with thirty (30) days advance notice of, and the
Buyer shall have the right to observe and inspect the installation of the Metering
System.
Part B
Meter Procedures
(a) The Buyer shall initially test the Metering System for accuracy in accordance with this
Schedule 17 (Metering) by the later of fifteen (15) days after it is installed by the
71
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
Contractor or five (5) days prior to the date scheduled for initial testing of the Plant to
begin, and thereafter at intervals of not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days
and after giving the Contractor no less than forty-eight (48) hours advance notice. The
Employer may have a representative present during any such testing, as well as during
any inspection of the Metering System or adjustment thereof.
(b) The Buyer shall also test the Metering System at any other time reasonably requested
by the Contractor, such additional testing to be at the Contractor’s expense unless the
test indicates that the Metering System is inaccurate by more than the percentages
as set out in this Contract, in which case the Buyer shall bear the cost of the additional
test. The Employer may have a representative present during any such testing, as well
as during any inspection of the Metering System or adjustment thereof. In order to
comply with the specifications in Schedule 17, Part A.
(c) When on the Site, the Buyer shall comply with all reasonable instructions of the
Contractor and, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, shall indemnify and hold the Employer harmless from any loss or damage
sustained by virtue of the Buyer’s negligence or wilful misconduct in the performance
of its obligations but only to the extent that such loss or damage is not covered by
insurance of the Employer.
(d) The calibration of meters shall be checked to ensure that the accuracy remains within
the specified limits. The method of calibration and frequency of tests shall be agreed
between the Employer, and the Buyer based on knowledge of the performance and
the design of the installed meters and the manufacturers’ recommendations.
(e) Compensation shall be made for the errors of current and voltage transformers in the
meter calibration or during the computation of records. Current and voltage
transformers shall be tested for ratio and phase angle errors following manufacture at
an accredited testing station in the presence of representatives from the Employer
and the Buyer.
(f) Testing and calibration of the Back-Up Metering Equipment shall be carried out by the
Buyer after giving appropriate notice to the Employer, in line with the agreed

the meters are outside specified limits. During such tests and calibration the Employer
shall have the right to have a representative present at all times.
(g) Testing and calibration of the Main Metering Equipment shall be carried out by the
Buyer as in paragraph (f) above. During such tests and calibration the Employer shall
have the right to have a representative present at all times.
4. Reading of Meters
(a) Procedures: The Metering System shall be read monthly on distance and/or at site on
the last day of each month (or such other day as may be agreed upon by the Parties)
for the purpose of determining the Net Electrical Output of the Plant since the
preceding reading.
72
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
In the event that the Buyer’s representative is not present at an onsite reading of Net
Electrical Output, then the Employer’s representative shall take and record such
reading and make a photographic record thereof. The Contractor shall maintain a log
of all such meter readings. Measurements recorded shall be delivered by the
recording party to the non-recording party by facsimile or any other form of written
notice within forty-eight (48) hours after the readings are taken.
In the event that the Main Metering Equipment is not in service as a result of
maintenance, repairs or testing, then the Back-Up Metering Equipment, shall be used
during the period that the Main Metering Equipment is not in service and the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall apply to the reading of the Back-Up Metering
Equipment.
(b) Inaccuracies in Metering System: When, as a result of any test of the Main Metering
Equipment, the Main Metering Equipment is found to be inaccurate by more than the
specified percentage or is otherwise functioning improperly, then the correct amount
of Net Electrical Output delivered to the Buyer for the actual period during which
inaccurate measurements were made, if any, shall be determined as follows:
(i) First, the readings of the Back-Up Metering Equipment, if any, shall be utilised
to calculate the correct amount of Net Electrical Output, unless a test of such
Back-Up Metering Equipment, as required by either party, reveals that the
Back-Up Metering Equipment is inaccurate by more than above mentioned
percentages or is otherwise functioning improperly;
(iii) In the event that the Buyer and the Employer fail to agree upon an estimate for
the correct reading, the Buyer shall make any payments to the Employer
required as a result of its estimate of the correct reading and the matter may
be referred by either party for determination by an Expert pursuant to
Clause 19.4 (Expert Determination); and
(iv) The difference between the previous payments by the Buyer for the period of
inaccuracy and the recalculated amount shall be offset against or added to the
next payment to the Employer under the PPA, as appropriate. If the period of
inaccuracy cannot be accurately determined, it shall be deemed to have begun
on the date which is midway between the date the meter was found to be
inaccurate and the date of the last meter reading accepted by the Parties as
accurate. In no event, however, shall any such adjustment be made for any
period prior to the date on which the Main Metering Equipment was last tested
and found to be accurate within the abovementioned percentages and not
otherwise functioning improperly.

80
Malindi Draft: 16 October 2018
SCHEDULE 20
The calculation shall be carried out based on the collection and analysis of data for the whole of the
relevant year.
The Performance Ratio shall be calculated as follows (the “Tests After Commercial Operations Date”):
The Contractor shall perform the Tests After Commercial Operations Date for the entire Facility; no
partial testing is allowed.
Before commencing the Tests After Commercial Operations Date, the Contractor shall submit for the
Employer's review and approval its proposed test protocol and all performance tests shall be executed
in accordance with the Test Protocol approved by Employer (the approved protocol being, the “Test
Protocol”).
Irradiance will be measured as the average of all the plane-of-array pyranometers installed at
the Facility. At least two (2) plane-of-array pyranometers shall be available in order to consider
valid the measurement
Where pyranometers disagree by greater than 5% over the test period, the lower of the results
shall be disregarded.
Only samples during which the average irradiance is at least 50W/m2 shall be considered. Whenever
the inverter is not functioning for all or part of the Sampling Period, then:
Where the irradiation is less than 50W/m2 the data is disregarded, or;
Where the irradiation is greater than 50W/m2 the inverter will be considered as unavailable.
1.2.1 Availability
Availability of the Facility during each Year for the Tests After Commercial Operations Date shall be
regulated by the O&M Agreement.
81
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
Irradiation shall be adjusted to exclude periods during which the actual production of the Facility has
been affected by the following unavailability issues:
The SCADA system shall guarantee a minimum data availability of 99% over each Evaluation Period.
Such data availability shall be confirmed by the Contractor three months prior to the end of the
Evaluation Period. Should the overall data availability be below the minimum data availability, the
Employer shall have the right to force the Contractor to undertake remedial works in order to increase
the data availability pursuant to the Contract.
Unless due to reasons attributable to the O&M Contractor, periods of data unavailability shall not be
accounted in the calculation of the actual Performance Ratio but shall be regarded as periods of
unavailability pursuant to the O&M Agreement.
In calculating the Performance Ratio (PR), data shall be measured over the Sampling Period.
The PR is a measure of the quality of the design, components and installation of the Facility. It is the
relationship between the actual energy produced, i.e. the energy measured at the appropriate meter,
and the energy theoretically produced by the modules (before any losses):
𝐸𝐸𝑥𝑝_𝑗
𝑃𝑅𝑗 =
𝐸𝑃𝑉_𝑗
Where:
𝑃𝑅𝑗 Is the performance ratio measured over the Sampling Period “j” where the
Facility has been operational
𝐸𝐸𝑥𝑝_𝑗 Is the total energy (kWh) exported by the Facility at the Delivery Point as
measured by the official meter over the Sampling Period “j”
𝐻𝑗
𝐸𝑃𝑉_𝑗 = 𝑃𝑛𝑜𝑚 ∙ (1 + 𝛽 ∙ (𝑇𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠,𝑗 − 𝑇𝑚𝑜𝑑 )) ∙ ( )∙
𝐺𝑆𝑇𝐶
Where:
82
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
𝛽 Is the temperature coefficient of the Module power taken from the Module
datasheet (% / ºC). For avoidance of doubt this coefficient shall be a
negative value.
𝑇𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠,𝑗 Is the mean average value of the Module temperature sensors placed on
the back side of the Modules measured during each timeframe j (ºC)
𝑇𝑚𝑜𝑑 Is the average monthly Module temperature (ºC) from the Guaranteed
Performance Ratio at COD table in Schedule 19 – Performance Levels and
Liquidated Damages.
𝐻𝑗 Is the irradiation hitting the Modules in timeframe j based upon the mean
average of the available on-site pyranometers, and the recordings
comprising that timeframe (kWh / m2)
A single PR figure will then be calculated for the duration of the test by using the following equation:
∑𝑚
𝑗=1 𝐸𝐸𝑥𝑝_𝑗
𝑃𝑅𝐴𝐶𝑇_𝑌𝑛 =
∑𝑚
𝑗=1 𝐸𝑃𝑉_𝑗
Where:
1.2.4 Irradiation
Pyranometers and data loggers shall be capable of measuring to a granularity of 30 second intervals
which will be averaged over the Sampling Period.
Plane-of-array irradiance shall be measured in the same plane as the photovoltaic array by the
pyranometers installed at the Facility.
The total irradiation value over each Year is obtained through the following formula:
83
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
𝐻𝑇𝑂𝑇 = ∑ 𝐻𝑗
𝑗=1
Where 𝐻𝑗 shall be the average of the pyranometer readings excluding any obvious outliers, at the

Malindi Draft: 16 October 2018
SCHEDULE 26
The Contractor will plan, execute and document construction works pursuant to the present Schedule
26 Environment & Social Requirements (ESR). The Contractor will have its own Environmental and
Social Management System (ESMS) in line with ISO 14001 standards. The provisions of these ESRs
would take precedence on the Contractor internal ESMS in case of any conflicts between the two
systems. In the context of the present ESRs, the word “Worksite(s)” means:
Protection of the natural environment (water, air, soil, vegetation, biological diversity) in areas
adjacent to the Worksite, access roads, quarries, borrow areas, stockpiling of backfill material,
camps or storage areas.
Working practices and the protection of people and populations living near the Worksite but
exposed to the general disturbance caused by works.
The Health and Safety conditions to be maintained for the Contractor’s personnel and any other
person present on the Worksites, or along access routes, are specified in Schedule [x].
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with any new legislation introduced
during the course of the services. In addition, compliance with national legislation, NEMA
environmental permit conditions, and ESMP, the Project and the Contractor will be expected to
comply with the requirements outlined Equator Principles (EPIII, 2013), associated IFC Performance
Standards (2012) and World Bank EHS Guidelines. The Project will also be expected to adhere to any
additional environmental and social conditions contained within the Project’s loan documentation. It
is recommended that the Contractor in particular makes himself familiar with the requirements of IFC
PS2 relating to Labour and Working Conditions.
1.3 Scope
These specifications apply to the Contractor and all subcontractors used for the execution of the
works. The Contractor is fully liable for all actions, non-compliance and negligence by subcontractors,
their representatives, employees and workers, to the same degree as it would be held liable for its
own actions, non-compliance or negligence or that of its own representatives, employees or workers.
93
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
As part of the Contractor’s ESMS the Contractor will prepare, implement, and regularly update a
Construction Environmental & Social Management Plan (CESMP). The CESMP represents the unique
reference document in which the Contractor defines in detail all organisational and technical
provisions implemented to satisfy the obligations of the present ESRs and the specific obligations
defined in 1.10 ESMP. The Contractor shall provide the Employer with a draft ESMS and CESMP within
seven (7) days of the Effective Date and shall ensure that the Employer’s comments are incorporated
in the final CESMP within twenty-one (21) days of receipt of Employer’s comments.
The Contractor will engage a full time Health Safety and Environment Manager to implement the
Construction ESMP and health and safety at the Worksites. The HSE Manager is permanently based at
the Worksite for the full duration of the works as of Contractor’s mobilisation until the provisional
acceptance of all works.
The Employer or its representative may audit the environmental and social performance of the
Contractor with respect to implementation of these requirements and the CESMP.
The HSE Manager will carry out environmental and social inspection of the Worksite on a weekly basis.
A record of each weekly inspection will be maintained, specifically any non-conformities will be
documented by a digital photograph to provide a visual illustration, explicitly indicating the location,
date of inspection and the non-conformity in question. Actions and timescale for addressing non-
94
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
conformities detected on the Worksite will be summarised and progress recorded as part of weekly
site meetings.
The Contractor will submit on a monthly basis an Environmental & Social (ES) activity report
summarising all Environmental and social initiatives implemented in relation to the execution of the
works during the reporting period to the Employer. The monthly will be provided in English and
submitted within 7 working days after the last day of the month in question.
1.6 Incidents
The Contractor will inform the Employer within 1 hour of any serious injury or damage to private
property or the environment, and within 24 hours of any near-missed accident relating to the
execution of the works which, in slightly different conditions, could have led to serious injury or
damage to private property or the environment.
The location of some activities / worksites was not known during the ESIA Project preparation, in the
event that the contractor is required to undertake any works or activities outside the project
boundaries, prior approval from the Employer must be obtained. The Contractor will undertake an
Initial Environmental & Social Examination for any activities not assessed by the ESIA or covered in the
ESMP. The Initial Environmental and Social Examination is required to study any proposed alternatives
to the worksite’s location, design, technology, and components and their potential environmental and
social impacts. The Contractor will document the rationale for selecting the particular alternative and
demonstrate relevant mitigation measure are in place to avoid environmental and social impacts.
While selecting the preferred alternative, the Contractor will adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach
to address adverse environmental or social impacts and issues to workers, affected communities, and
the environment from the worksite and associated facilities. The mitigation hierarchy comprises
measures taken to avoid creating environmental or social impacts from the outset of development
activities, and where this is not possible, to implement additional measures that would minimise,
mitigate and, as a last resort, offset and/or compensate any potential residual adverse impacts.
The Initial Environmental & Social Examination will follow a simple form structured as follows:
Part I: Environmental & social analysis of technical alternatives considered for the worksite;
and
Part II: Analysis of the selected technical solution for the worksite:
Flora and habitats within the worksite footprint and within 100m around
Presence, species and diameter at breast height of any trees
Distance to the nearest residential areas
Permanent or seasonal usages of the proposed worksite area by the local communities
Soils and Erosion Concerns
Hydrological and water quality Concerns
Groundwater Elevations & supply
Summary of potential adverse impacts on the natural environment and local
communities
Proposed mitigation strategy to reduce or eliminate identified environmental or social
adverse impacts.
95
Malindi Draft: 18 October 2018
The Contractor will work together with the Employer’s Community Liaison Officer (CLO) in all
engagements and relations with local communities. It is recommended that the Contractor budget for
some small local CSR activities. Any CSR activities must be discussed with the CLO to identify
appropriate projects and ensure fair allocation of resources among the local community.
Local labour needs are estimated prior to the start of works and described in the CESMP with the
following information:
Identification of positions that could be filled by local staff and the level of qualification
required;
Definition of the planned procedure for the effective recruitment of these members of staff;
Deployment schedule for these positions; and
Initial training to be provided by the Contractor for each job description.
The Contractor implements a voluntary local recruitment policy including defining targets for its
personnel for the duration of the works and shall enforce this policy to its subcontractors. Positions
will be advertised to maximize local recruitment and, in case the aforementioned local recruitment
target are not achieved, to demonstrate that no local skills are available despite all efforts made to
recruit locally. The Contractor demonstrates the effective implementation of this voluntary policy to
the Employer in its monthly report.
The Contractor will develop a training programme aiming to support the voluntary local recruitment
policy. Local recruitment at the Worksites, including at the entrance, is strictly prohibited to limit the
influx and settlement of spontaneous population waiting for employment. The Contractor will work
closely with the Employers CLO to support in identifying local communities to be targeted for local
recruitment and to avoid at site recruitment.
All workers on successful completion of training activities and on successful completion of their
employment will be issued with certificates by the Contractor clearly stating duration of their
employment, tasks undertaken, and skill demonstrated.

carry out the work itself or by others at the Contractor's cost and shall be entitled to recover
all actual costs reasonably incurred by it from Performance Security and:
