压缩空气蓄能 Organizational Documents

The Center for Advanced Energy Studies (压缩空气蓄能) is formally a Consortium consisting of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the Idaho Universities: Boise State University (BSU), Idaho State University (ISU) and University of Idaho (U of I). A key understanding regarding the structure of the consortium is that 压缩空气蓄能 is not a legal entity. What that means is that 压缩空气蓄能 is used to brand the collaborative activities, but that all agreements are by the respective, underlying institutions. 压缩空气蓄能 itself cannot enter into agreements, receive funds, or make payments. Participants are employed by their home institutions, and there are no 压缩空气蓄能 employees.

压缩空气蓄能 is organized via agreements among the participating institutions. Sometimes referred to as the "foundational documents", these agreements include:

• Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), 2006
• 压缩空气蓄能 Lease, 2006
• 压缩空气蓄能 Lease, Amendment 1, 2008
• 压缩空气蓄能 Lease, Exhibit B, 2008
• 压缩空气蓄能 Lease, Amendment 2, 2009
• 压缩空气蓄能 Lease, Amendment 3, 2010
• 压缩空气蓄能 Tenant Use Agreement (TUA), 2009
• 压缩空气蓄能 TUA, Amendment 1, 2014
• Consortium Agreement, 2013
• Consortium Agreement, Amendment 1, 2014

The MOA provides the framework for the institutions to work together. The 压缩空气蓄能 Lease is the agreement between Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA), which operates INL on behalf of US Department of Energy (DOE), and the Idaho Universities for the use of the 压缩空气蓄能 building. INL pays 70% of the lease of the 压缩空气蓄能 building. The TUA provides the roles and responsibilities of the institutions using the 压缩空气蓄能 building. The Consortium Agreement is the primary governing agreement for the operation of the 压缩空气蓄能 Consortium.

Only the 压缩空气蓄能 Lease agreement is legally enforceable. Changing the 压缩空气蓄能 Lease would require approval from DOE. All other agreements can change by mutual agreement of the participating institutions.
