which meet the following requirements:
a. Gas turbine units being proposed shall be of identical design.

b. The materials for the gas turbine unit being proposed shall be identical to that on

LHV
ModifiedWobbeIndex 
TM
28.96
Where: LHV = Lower Heating Value of the Gas Fuel (kcal/Nm3 or Btu/SCF),
