(1)
(2)
(3)
Receive service from Rate Schedules GSL or TGS; and
Pay City ad valorem tax; and
Receive no electric service discounts other than those specifically defined in the GSL
or TGS Rate Schedules.
APPLICATION
This Rider is available to electric service supplied at any one location. It is for firm electric service
applicable to new and existing customers as described below, over a five (5) year period. This Rider
is available to the following classes of customers:
(1)New Customers whose electric service represents demand not previously served by
the City at any location in the City’s service area in the last twelve (12) months, where
such metered demand will be in excess of 1 ,000 kVA and customer load factor must
be greater than the City’s electric system load factor, as estimated and mutually agreed
upon by the General Manager of the City’s electric utility and the Customer.
(2)Existing Customers served under Rate Schedules GSL or TGS who increase their
prior existing metered demand by 1,000 kVA and customer load factor must be greater
than the City’s electric system load factor. This increase shall be verified by sub-
metering (at the Customer’s expense) the additional load. If sub-metering is not
possible, at the discretion of the General Manager of the City’s electric utility, the
increase may be verified by comparing a three-month rolling average of the new level
of demand to the prior demand averaged for corresponding months. During periods
in which this verification method cannot be applied, the General Manager and the
Customer may develop a mutually agreed-upon formula to estimate the base and
additional demand levels.

naturally regenerated over a short time and derived directly or indirectly from the sun or wind. A
renewable energy technology does not rely on energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste
products from fossil fuels, or waste products from inorganic sources.
This Rider applies to a Customer-owned generating system that primarily offsets all or part of the
Customer’s electric service provided by the City. If the Customer-owned generating system is
sized such that it produces energy in excess of a Customer’s electric consumption, special
arrangements and a contract may be necessary. The current interconnection guidelines may be
found in the Distributed Generation Manual located at www.cityofdenton.com.
In light of additional costs associated with the Distributed Generation From Renewable Sources
Rider and to mitigate potential risk to ratepayers, any participant in the Distributed Generation From
Renewable Sources Rider must be, at the time this Rider is applied for and continuing while such
Rider is in effect, a Customer in good standing of all City utilities, including solid waste
services. Unless legal review procedures have been invoked in good faith regarding the obligation, a

determine the Customer’s net energy flow.
RATE
Beginning in the billing period after a Customer receives approval from the City, to interconnect
the Customer’s on-site generating system; all energy generated by the Customer’s system and
delivered to the City’s electric system will be considered renewable energy. The Customer shall
be billed for all energy delivered by the City to the Customer under the approved rates.
For any generation delivered by the Customer’s system to the City’s electric system up to the
amount of energy delivered by the City to the Customer, the City shall credit the Customer’s
account for the energy generated as follows:
Generation Credit = [(kWh delivered from the Customer’s approved system)
x (Customer’s base electric service rate)] + [(kWh delivered from the Customer’s approved
system) x (RCA Rate)]
For all energy delivered by the Customer’s system to the City’s electric system that exceeds
the amount of energy delivered by the City to the Customer, the City
shall credit the Customer’s account for the energy generated as
follows:
Excess Generation Credit = (kWh delivered from the Customer’s system) x RCA Rate
Any Billing Period Credit shall be applied to the utility charges due from the Customer to the City
for the billing period.
