## When to use it

Use when a power sale or offtake needs a schedule for certificates or other attributes the parties want to transfer. Do not use it to describe a program that has not been named by the lawyer.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft the certificate terms in a renewable electricity or low-emissions product offtake](https://ailawframework.com/practice/energy-resources-and-mining/draft-the-certificate-terms-in-a-renewable-electricity-or-low-emissions.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow: the lawyer names the program, the registry and who holds title before the schedule is attached.

**AI may:**

- Define the attribute as a contract term and leave the program name blank.
- Allocate title, transfer date and what happens if a certificate is not issued.
- Keep the schedule from stating that a regulator must recognise the attribute.

**AI must not:**

- Do not name a state renewable program, a registry or a certificate statute. None was opened.
- Do not say the attribute is a security.
- Do not tie the attribute to a Commission rate without the lawyer reading section 824d.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Insert the program's own defined term after reading that program.
- Decide whether the attribute is part of a rate or contract that section 824d requires to be filed.
- Match the schedule to the quantity in the term sheet.

## Authorities

- [16 U.S.C. § 824d](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/16/824d)
