2.1  The Monthly Unitary Payment

2.1.1  Subject to the terms of the Project Agreement, the Contractor will be entitled to payment for the provision of the Services under this Agreement, calculated in accordance with paragraph 2.1.2.

2.1.2  The Monthly Unitary Payment in respect of a Payment Period, being Payment Period (m), shall be calculated by deducting the Unavailability Deductions for Payment Period (m-1) and the Service Failure Deductions in respect of Payment Period (m-1) from the Monthly Unitary Payment for Payment Period (m) and by adding the Monthly Utilities Payment for Payment Period (m), adding or deducting (as the case may be) the Annual Utilities Adjustment and adding the Payment Adjustment for Payment Period (m), in accordance with the following formula:

UPm

=

(UCm - UDm-1 - PDm-1) + MUPm +/- AUA + PAm

where:

 

 

UPm

=

the Monthly Unitary Payment in respect of Payment Period (m)

UCm

=

the Monthly Unitary Charge in respect of Payment Period (m) which is the Annual Unitary Charge (APy) as stated in the Schedule of Charges relevant to the year in which the Payment Period (m) falls and divided by 12.

UDm-1

=

the Unavailability Deductions for Payment Period (m-1)

PDm-1

=

the Service Failure Deductions in respect of Payment Period (m-1)

MUPm

=

the Monthly Utilities Payment in respect of Payment Period (m)
