purchases and lnstalls qualifylng equipment,
the payment is made to the owner If the
purchaser of a mobile or custom home selects
and pays for a qualifying unit, the purchas-
er will receive the rebate
II CENTRAL ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEAT PUMPS
A. a new condensing unit with an inside evaporator
coil will qualify if matched, as specified, in the
current ~ssue of the ARI Directory of Certified Air
Conditioners and Air Source Heat Pumps and the unit
meets the m~n~mum ratings as specified in the 1992
Appliance Rebate Program If the unit is not in
the current ARI Directory, the manufacturer's
latest data approved for publication will be ac-
cepted.
If the unit is not in the current ARI Directory or
data approved for publication, the average of the
high and low SEER/EER coil only, not including
blower coil, will be accepted as listed in the
current ARI Directory
B. Computer simulations may be used if ratings are not
listed in the current ARI Directory, provided the
following criteria are met
1. Systems using mix-matched coils must meet
all established program guidelines to qual~-
fy for a rebate
2. The computer s~mulations must be signed,
certified, and dated by a registered profes-
sional engineer and an officer of the compa-
ny making the submittal
3 The engineer who certifies a simulatIon must
attest to the accuracy of the input data,
the validity of the calculation procedure
used, and that the results are in accordance
with D 0 E approved methodology
4 A complete set of the input data and an
indication of the source of the data must
accompany the simulated ratings
PAGE 43
5 The simulated ratings must be based on the
condensing unit's te~ted combination as
listed in the current ARI Directory or
latest data approved for publication and
identified by the correct model numbers of
both the condensing unit and coil as l~sted
in the current ARI D~rectory
6 Simulated ratings must not exceed 105% of
the SEER rating of the tested system used as
a base
7 An open file of computer simulations will be
maintained at the Energy Management Office
Supplying erroneous ratings or data can lead
to disqualification of those involved from
further program participation
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate is deter-
mined by divldin9 the square footage of the
conditioned area by 500 and multiplying by
12,000
Example. The Program Capacity for a 1,500 square
foot house is
1.500
= 3.0 x 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
500
The City w~ll pay a rebate on a unit that meets
program efficiency standards and is sized at
36,000 BTUH or less
2 Actual payment will be determined by dividing the
BTUH of the installed unit (up to, and including
the Program Capacity) by 12,000 and multiplying by
the incentive.
The incentive amounts and SEER ratings are refer-
enced on page 5 of the "1992 Appliance Rebate
Program Methods Used in Determining Equipment
Eff~clency and Eligibility," and are incorporated
herein as if fully set forth at length
Example A. A person ~n a 1,500 square foot house
installs a 30,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with a SEER rating of 12 0
1.500
= 3 × 12,000 = 36,000 Program Capacity

~REM~UM-EFF[C[ENCY MOTOR REBATE
(Effective 10/01/96)
APPLICATION/PROGRAM SUS~ARY
The City of Denton Utility Department is offering cash payments
to customers who purchase and install premlum-efflcmency motors and
adjustable speed drmves mn facmlmtmes serviced by Denton Electrmc
Utllmty
The program's objective is to reduce energy demand and consump-
tzon, thereby saving customers dollars on their utility bmlls and
reducing the peak load of the City of Denton's electric system,
thereby conserving energy and improvmng the power factor
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
1 All installatmons must be for accounts served by the City
of Denton Electric Utility and must meet all applicable
national, local, and manufacturers' codes and specifica-
tions.
2 To qualify for a rebate, equipment must be new when in~
stalled Ail equzpment must be purchased; no leased or
lease/purchased equipment wmll qualify for a cash rebate
Removed motors must be properly disposed of after mnspec-
tion 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 vermf~cation of compliance with
program guidelines
4. Equipment and installation are subject to mnspection by
the City's Electric Utility before final approval for

PAGE 46
REBATE METHODOLOGY
Rebates for the Premium-Efficiency Motor Rebate Program wlll be
based on the following methodology'
REPLACEMENT MOTORS
1 The Denton Electric Utility staff w~ll visit the s~te to
determine the existing motors eff~clency If the ex~st~ng motor is
non-operatzonal, an estimate will be made
2. The customer must provide all ~nformatlon 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
· ncreased 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 × $100 / KW
or KVA yield × $ 90 / k'VA
6 The Denton Electric Utility will to the s~te to verify
· nstallation, and following successful ~nstallation, a rebate check
w~ll 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 Electrlc Utility will visit the customer site to
determ~neKw/KVA savings from the proposed Ad]ustable/Varlable Speed
Drive Those sav~ngs will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA bas~s
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
D~rector of Electric Utilities

S~HEDULE ECA
ENERGY COST kDJUST[~NT
(Effective 10/01/96)
ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT
All monthly KWH charges shall be increased or decreased by an
amount equal to "X" cents per KWH, to be known as the energy cost
ad3ustment (ECA) The ECA shall be computed during the last month
of each fiscal year quarter (December, March, June and September) to
be applied to the quarter lraraediately following The C~ty shall ~n
no case change the energy cost adjustment more than once ~n any
three (3) month per~od The ECA shall be calculated using the
following formula
Protected energy cost for next Guarter
ECA = Projected KWH sales for next quarter
In the event that actual plus estimated cumulative costs of
fuel, variable costs of Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA) energy
and purchased energy (excluding TMPA's fixed charges) are greater
than or less than the actual and projected ECA revenues by $500,000
or more during the next quarter, the D~rector of Electric Utilities
or his designate shall recompute the Energy Cost Adjustment and,
w~th Public Utilities Board approval, may establish an ECA that
collects or returns such difference over the next three month
per~od Such change ~n ECA shall be applied evenly to each month
during the three month period
The above formula results in an October December 1996
estimated ECA as follows
ECA = 2 00¢ / KWH
