The Program offers incentives, in the form of credits on the electric service bills of the City's electric retail customers. Cash incentives may be paid to retail customers for the installation of photovoltaic applications. In light of additional costs associated with the GreenSense Incentive Program ("Program") and ta mitigate potential risk to ratepayers, any participant in the Program must be, at the time this program is applied for and continuing while such program is in effect, a customer in good standing of all Denton Municipal Utilities, including Solid Waste services. Unless legal review procedures have been invoked in good faith regarding the obligation, a customer in good standing for the purpose of this Rider is defined as a customer not owing any unpaid utility or solid waste debt obligation that is over forty-�ve (45) days past due to the City of Denton, Texas during the previous 12 months. Program applicants will be able to qualify for multiple incentives simultaneously, unless specified in the individual incentive guidelines. A separate application may be necessary for each incentive. The Program will be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October 1, until the allotted funding is depleted or until cancellation of the program by the City. At the time the funds are depleted, no additional applications for participation will be accepted until the next fiscal year. Qualifying applicants must receive electric service from the City. The Program guidelines and payments are subject to change by the City without prior notice. The City may, at any time, discontinue the Program without prior notice. The current program guidelines may be found in the GreenSense Incentive Program Manual located at www.cityofdenton.com. Application for Pa_yment In order for energy efficient upgrades to qualify under the Program Guidelines, an Application for Payment form must be completed and submitted within thirty (30) days of installation of the energy efficient upgrades. For the overall effects of the energy efficiency upgrades to be measurable and verifable through the deemed standards approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), the complete information must be recorded for each installation. Applications for Payment, which must be accompanied by a copy of the invoice detailing work completed and efficiency measures installed as well as any technical data on the installed energy efficient upgrade, must be complete and submitted to the Conservation Program Coordinator. � Some energy efficiency upgrades must be permitted and shall be inspected and approved by the City's Building Inspection division, before rebates will be processed. Incentives shall be in the form of a rebate credit to the electric utility accounts of City customers that purchase the qualifying energy efficiency upgrades. After submitting a Request for Payment, customers can expect to receive the rebate credit in 4 to 10 weeks. Incomplete or erroneous information can cause delays in payment. � � ,� ,,. � « T , ,�, � !. � +►: ,, , �� , , �� , � � ' � � , , .

E. � E� erge� cv Res o se Service The objective of the Emergency Response Service ("ERS") is to decrease energy demand on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") grid by reducing the electric demand of the City's electric system, during times of ERCOT system emergencies, thereby lessening the likelihood of tl�e need for firm load sl�edding (a.k.a, "rolling blackouts"). The Service offers incentives, through ERCOT, to quali�ed City customers that make themselves available for deployment in an electric grid emergency. Customers may shed load or start backup generators to ful�ll their obligations. Those interested in participating in this program will be able to choose between a ten (10) minute (ERS-10) and thirty (30) minute (ERS-30) deployment.

Time Periods are given within a four-month Contract Period: October through January, February through May, and June through September, Customers bid for specific Time Periods and ERCOT awards contacts based on price and location. This Service will be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October l, until program cancellation by ERCOT. The ERS service will not be activated until the total anticipated reduction amount enrolled exceeds 2,000 kW. To qualify for this service, applicants must receive electric service from the City's electric utility, Program guidelines and payments are subject to change by ERCOT without prior notice. For more Mailing Address �;; ion contact: Energy Program 1659 Spencer Road Denton, TX 76205 �� °�� .�� w�.��.�x��n� M��~�i�� This program is only for General Service Medium (GSM), General Service Large (GSL) and General Service Time of Use (TGS) customers who voluntarily enroll in the Service and have an interval data recorder or smart meter. To be considered for this service, customers must have a historic peak demand of at least 200 kW. DME retains the sole right to determine eligibility for ERS. Customers must successfully complete unannounced testing requirements that consist of an approximately thirty (30) minute curtailment. Participants must have a system in place that allaws to drop committed load within eight (8) or twenty five (25) minutes. The ERS program states a customer shall be obligated for a maximum deployment time of eight (8) cumulative hours during a contract period which can be spread over two events. In addition there is a one hour test that can be called on an unannounced basis by ERCOT. While the ERS program states a customer is obligated for up to eight hours of deployment, ERCOT also reserves the right to maintain ERS response service an additional four hours if necessary. This can result in an ERS provider ultimately providing up to twelve (12) hours of total response service during a contract period. Upon completion of a deployment event, customers shall return to a condition that will allow them to meet their contracted obligations within ten (10) hours. Determination of an Event ERCOT will deploy ERS-10 only during Energy Emergency Alerts (EEA) level 2 or 3 and may deploy ERS-30 only during EEA levels 1, 2 or 3. EEA Level 1— Power Watch: EEA Level 2— Power Warning: EEA Level 3— Power Emergency: ��"tra��c��uti�arr < 2,300 MW of on-line reserves < 1,750 MW of on-line reserves On-line reserves continue to decline Participants are paid the Market Clearing Price if their ERS offer is accepted by ERCOT. ERCOT pays based on the availability and performance of the committed customer. All payments are made to the EMO by ERCOT seventy (70) days after end of the Contract Period. Compensation shall be based on actual hours in each Time Period. The penalties for non-campliance may be a reduction or elimination in capacity payments and possible suspension from the Service. ERCOT communicates directly with the City's EMO as a QSE. To participate in ERS, a customer must have a cantract with City EMO, which will provide all the administration of the Service. EMO services fee will be twenty-five (25) percent of awarded Market Clearing price.

Any Distributed Generation of one MW and over will be addressed on a case by case basis. It is the intent of the City to allow all citizens to install Distributed Generation (DG), provided the DG facility does not adversely affect the safety of emergency personnel, the general public and those that may work on the electrical system. The safety goal also assures Denton Municipal Electric's (DME) distribution does not compromise reliability and the service quality of all DME customers. It is the responsibility of the DG owner to determine any economic benefits af DG operation. The electrical requirements in this Manual apply only to citizens that have an electric account with DME serving the property where proposed DG is to be installed. All energy resources on the City's electrical distribution system require approval by DME prior to any other City department process and approval. DG is an electrical generating facility located at a customer's point of delivery, which may be installed as a Stand-Alone Unit or Interconnected Unit: Stand-Alone Unit — Distributed Generation that is not connected to the City's electrical system in any way. Stand-alone facilities shall be installed in a manner that no generated power will export to the City's electrical system. nit — Distributed Generation that is physically connected to the City's electrical Interconn.e.ct.e.d....U............ system so that parallel operation (on-site generation) can occur. Examples of DG include, but are not limited to, systems that generate or store energy such as solar photovoltaic, wind, energy storage, combined heat and power, fuel cells, batteries, micro-turbines, reciprocating engines, gas and diesel generators. DG is a large investment and requires a bit oi research before making a decision. The City encourages all residents interested in buying DG to talk to several installers, receive as many quotes needed to feel confident about DG, and understand what to expect before, during, and after DG is installed. Remember: this manual and City staff are available to answer questions and help clear any confusion. The City of Denton reserves the right to amend this Manual at any time.

The City makes no warranties whatsoever that participant will realize any energy savings as a result of any PV installs. In no event shall the City be responsible far any direct, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages in tort, contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability or under any indemnity provision or otherwise related to any installs. Customer assumes the risk of any loss or damage(s) that the customer may suffer in connection with its PV installation. The City is committed to become a SolSmart designated community. In partnership with the SolSmart team, the City of Denton's dedicated staff inembers will work to improve the solar process for PV installs, making it faster and efficient. In these efforts, we call on our residents, businesses, non-profits, and others to get invalved. Inquiries related to the PV pracess, installs, and/or SolSmart designation can be directed to solar@cityofdenton.com, All zones within the city of Denton allow on-site PV system installs. It is the right of the property owners to install solar and owners' right to sunlight on their property. A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) may be required for residents interested in installing PV within a Historic District which would be visible from the public Right of Way. If a COA is required, it must be approved prior to work being performed and a building permit issued.

DME will also review the necessary documents to assure all installs meet current National Electrical Safety Codes (NESC), DME Service Standards, UL 1741 Standards, and IEEE 1547 Standard. PV installs over 500 kW will be subject to pre-interconnection studies by a third party engineering firm, as needed in compliance with PUCT Substantive Rules 25.211 and 25.212 or its successor(s); which may extend approval time by four to six weeks. In instances where such studies are deemed necessary, the scope of such studies shall be based on the characteristics of the particular distributed generation facility to be interconnected and the Company's distribution system at the specific proposed location. The Customer is responsible for all costs associated with the pre-interconnection studies. Upon DME approval of the project, applicants will be sent an email indicating the start of the permit review. See below for permitting process. DME will be notified when inspection has passed and permit is final. DME personnel will schedule an appointment with the customer for final testing of anti-islanding and disconnect. If customer was approved for a PV rebate, DME will complete a check request in the amount provided in the Letter of Intent.
