(2) Existing customers served under Rate S chedules G SS, G SL o r T GS w ho i ncrease
their prior existing metered demand by 225 KVA or 200 KW. This increase shall be
verified by comparing a three-month rolling average of the new level of demand to

verification method cannot be applied, the Director of Electric Utilities and the
customer may develop a mutually agreed -upon formula to estimate the base and
additional demand levels.

(Effective 10/O1/03)
Denton Municipal Electric ("DME") through this program, called "EnergySave", is offering cash
payments as incentives in the form of rebates to customers who purchase and install high -efficiency
air conditioners or heat pumps for existing residential or commercial facilities. This program will
also provide structure incentives in the form of rebates, in the amount of $2,000 per qualifying
structure, to residential builders of single-family residences for meeting specific DME structure
requirements. Satisfying these construction requirements will improve a residential structure's
heating and cooling systems' operating efficiency. Apartments and multiple unit residential
structures will qualify for the air conditioner rebates, but will not qualify for the structure incentive,
if they meet the applicable EnergySave Program Guidelines.
The EnergySave Program's objectives are primarily to reduce energy demand and consumption,
thereby allowing the customers of DME to save dollars on their utility bills, reducing the peak load
of the City of Denton's electric system, and promoting energy efficient heating and cooling. The
EnergySave Program will be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October 1, until the allotted
funding is depleted. At the time the funds are depleted, no additional applications for participation
will be accepted until the next fiscal year.
A. All installations must be for accounts served by the DME and must meet all applicable
national, local, and manufacturers' codes and specifications.
B. To qualify for the equipment incentive, the equipment must be new when installed.
C. All equipment must be purchased. No leased or lease/purchased equipment will
qualify for a cash rebate.
D. Installations must be made by licensed contractors and/or dealers.
E. No rebate will be paid on a partial replacement of an air conditioner. The condenser
unit and the evaporator coil must be replaced to qualify for a rebate.
F. Requests for payment must be received by DME within thirty (30) days of installation.
G. Equipment and installation must be permitted and inspected by the City's Building
Inspection Department before final approval for payment is issued.
43
H. The EnergySave Program guidelines and payments are subject to change by DME
without prior notice.
I. DME may, at any time, discontinue the EnergySave Program without prior notice.
J. Payments shall be credited to the recipients' utility account with DME.

EnergySave credit by Denton Municipal Electric.
2. Structure Incentive:
To qualify for residential structure incentives, a builder/developer or authorized
agent must be registered as an authorized Denton Municipal Electric
EnergySave Authorized Builder. To become a recognized EnergySave builder,
applicant must complete and submit a Denton Municipal Electric EnergySave

The City of Denton Utility Department is offering cash payments to customers who purchase and
install premium -efficiency motors and adjustable speed drives in facilities serviced by Denton
Electric Utility.
The program's objective is to reduce energy demand and consumption, thereby saving customers
dollars on their utility bills and reducing the peak load of the City of Denton's electric system, thereby
conserving energy and improving the power factor.
1. All installations must be for accounts served by the City of Denton Electric Utility
and must meet all applicable national, local, and manufacturers' codes and
specifications.
2. To qualify for a rebate, equipment must be new when installed. All equipment must
be purchased. No leased or lease/purchased equipment will qualify for a cash rebate.
Removed motors must be properly disposed of after inspection and not re -used with
the Denton Electric Utility system. Method of disposal must be stated.
3. The City will pay the rebate to the purchaser of the qualifying equipment upon
verification of compliance with program guidelines.
4. Equipment and installation are subject to inspection by the City's Electric Utility
before final approval for payment is issued.
Replacement motors must be the same horsepower or lower than the original motor.
Exceptions must be approved in writing by the Citys Electric Utility. Only motors 20
horsepower and above are eligible for the program.
6. All information must be complete on the Motor Rebate Application in order for a
rebate to be issued (see Motor Rebate Application).
The Premium -Efficiency Motor Rebate program guidelines and payments are subject
to change without notice. This program may be discontinued with prior notice, at any
time by the City of Denton Electric Utility.

Rebates for the Premium -Efficiency Motor Rebate Program will be based on the following
methodology:
REPLACEMENT MOTORS:
1. The Denton Electric Utility staff will visit the site to determine the existing motor's
efficiency. If the existing motor is non -operational, an estimate will be made.
2. The customer must provide all information on the rebate application concerning the
proposed motor purchase.
3. A new motor must not exceed the horsepower of the existing motor without express
written consent by the Denton Electric Utility, which consent shall be given only if
the utility finds an increased efficiency.
4. The information concerning the existing and the proposed motors will be entered into
the Motor Master software program to calculate the kilowatt (KW) or kilovolt
amperes (KVA) savings yield. The calculation is based on horsepower, efficiency,
RPM, and load information.
5. The KW or KVA yield will be multiplied times the rebate incentive amount of
$100/KW or $90/KVA:
KW yield x $100 / KW
or KVA yield x $ 90 / KVA
6. The Denton Electric Utility will to the site to verify installation, and following
successful installation, a rebate check will be mailed to the customer.
NEW MOTORS:
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for replacement motors but the
efficiency comparison will be made against a standard new motor, to be determined by the
Motor Master software program used by the City, Department of Energy standards, or the
Denton Electric Utility.
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES:
The Denton Electric Utility will visit the customer site to determine KW/KVA savings from
the proposed Adjustable/Variable Speed Drive. Those savings will be awarded on a
$100/KW or $90/KVA basis. A watt -meter will be used before and after installation.
KW / KVA SAVINGS:
Rebates in excess of $1,000.00 require advance approval of the Director of Electric Utilities.
