Cash payments will be made to the purchaser of the
qualifying equipment. Participating retail equip-
ment dealers will receive a cash payment of $20 per
unit for the sale of window units, central air
conditioning systems, or heat pumps to offset their
cost for properly filling out the applications for
purchasers. Program participants are responsible
for'submitting the correct information. The Utili-
ty Department will not issue any additional payment
unless the payment was incorrect due to a mistake
in processing by a city employee.
1. The twenty dollar ($20.00) payments to
dealers will be made only if they supply the
qualifying equipment to the customer or
builder who is paying for the installation
of the equipment. Dealers and purchasers
may be denied payment for failure to follow
program guidelines such as: failing to
supply correct square footage or SEER/EER
figures; installing equipment which is not
PAGE 49
new; replacing part of a split system; or
failure to fill out rebate forms properly.
2. Payments will be made to customers who pur-
chase and install new qualifying equipment.
If a tenant purchases and installs qualify-
ing equipment, the payment is made to the
tenant. If the owner of rental property
purchases and installs qualifying 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 issue of the ARI Directory of Certified Air
Conditioners and Air Source Heat Pumps and the unit
meets the minimum 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 quali-
fy for a rebate.
2. The computer simulations must be signed,
certified, and dated by a reqistered profes-
~eer 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.O.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 50
5. The simulated ratings must be based on the
condensing unit's tested 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 listed
in the current ARI Directory.
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 dividing 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 × 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
500
The city will 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
Efficiency and Eligibility," and are incorporated
herein as if fully set forth at length:
Example A: A person in a 1,500 square foot house
installs a 30,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with a SEER rating of 12.0.
1,500 _ 3 x 12~000 = 36,000 Program Capacity

PREMIUM-EFFICIENCY MOTOR REBATE
(Effective 10/01/94)
APPLICATION/PROGRAM SUMMARY
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 consump-
tion, 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.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
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 specifica-
tions.
2. To qualify for a rebate, equipment must be new when in-
stalled. 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 inspec-
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 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.
5. Replacement motors must be the same horsepower or lower
than the original motor. Exceptions must be approved in
writing by the City's 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).
7. 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.
PAGE 54
REBATE METHODOLOGY
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 motors 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) savings yield. The calculation is based
on horsepower, efficiency, RPM, and load information.
5. The KW yield will be multiplied times the rebate incentive
amount of $100/KW:
KW yield x $100/KW
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 savings from the proposed Adjustable/Variable Speed
Drive. Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW basis. A watt
meter will be used before and after installation.
KW SAVINGS:
Rebates in excess of $1,000.00 require advance approval of the
Director of Electric Utilities.

SCHEDULE ECA
ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT
(Effective 10/01/94)
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
adjustment (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 immediately following. The city shall in
no case change the energy cost adjustment more than once in any
three (3) month period. The ECA shall be calculated using the
following formula:
Proiected enerav cost for next quarter.
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 Director of Electric Utilities
or his designate shall recompute the Energy Cost Adjustment and
re-establish an ECA that collects or returns such difference over
the next three month period, such change in ECA shall be applied
evenly to each month during the three month period.
The above formula results in an October - December 1994
estimated ECA as follows:
ECA = 1.90C/KWH
PAGE 58
SCHEDULE PCb
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
(Effective 10/01/94)
PURPOSE AND EFFECT
The Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) provides for the recovery of
fixed purchased power costs, including Texas Municipal Power Agency
(TMPA) costs, as they increase or decrease from the base year costs.
The PCA will be calculated based on fixed purchased power costs, to
be effective the first day of each fiscal quarter. The PCA shall
apply to customer classes as listed in this schedule.
All monthly KWH charges for customers with an energy charge but
without a demand component in the applicable rate schedule shall be
assessed a PCA surcharge based upon KWH usage.
All monthly KW demand charges for customers with a demand com-
ponent in the applicable rate schedule shall be assessed a PCA
surcharge based upon KW demand, but not usage.
The PCA will be calculated relative to a base purchased power
cost of $23.390 million per year, as of the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995.
QUARTERLY ADJUSTMENT FACTOR ¢OAF) - WHEN CHANGED
A quarterly adjustment factor (QAF) shall be used in the calcu-
lation of the PCA to account for significant changes in fixed pur-
chased power costs. The QAF shall be adjusted in any quarter where
fixed purchased power costs increase or decrease by an integer mul-
tiple of $100,000, compared to the base fixed purchased power cost
of $23.390 million per year. Each $100,000 increase or decrease
from the base cost represents a "threshold" interval for adjusting
the QAF (e.g., at $29.290 million, $29.490 million, $29.590 million,
and so on). In any quarter in which the annual fixed purchase power
cost "crosses" above or below one or more of these "thresholds", the
QAF shall be adjusted, otherwise it shall remain the same.
QUARTERLY ADJUSTMENT FACTOR - CALCULATION
In any quarter in which the QAF is to be adjusted, the QAF
shall be calculated by subtracting the base fixed purchased power
cost ($29.390 million per year) from the current fixed purchased
power cost per year and dividing by 100,000.
Example:
Current cost = $23,620,000
- Base cost = $23,390,000
Change = $ 230,000/100,000 ~ QAF = 2.3
PAGE 59
Note that the QAF for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 is 0.0
for all rate classes, yielding an initial PCA of $0.00 for all
classes in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995. Note also that
subsequent decreases in cost below the base cost will yield a
negative QAF which, in turn, would generate a PCA rebate for all
rate classes.
PCA RATE
The PCA Rate for each customer class may be determined from the
following table:
Customer Clas~ Rate Schedule PCA Rate
Residential R1,R2,TR 0.000134
Small Commercial/ GSS,TGS,EWK 0.039780
Other Pi,ES
Large Commercial GSL,IDR 0.039332
Government G1,AF 0.055326
PCA CALCULATION
The PCA for any given customer class with a KW demand component
may be calculated as follows, and rounded to the nearest cent:
PCA (¢) = QAF × PCA Rate (C/KW) × KW
The PCA for any given customer class with a KWH energy compo-
nent, but without a KW demand component, may be calculated as fol-
lows, and rounded to the nearest cent:
PCA (¢) = QAF x PCA Rate (C/KWH) x KWH

AN ORDINANCEAMENDING A PORTION OF THE SCHEDULE OF ELECTRICAL RATES
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE NO. 94-162 BY AMENDING SCHEDULE GENERAL
SERVICE I~ARGE ("GSL") TO CONVERT FROM THE PRESENT KILOWATT ("KW")
DEMAND BILLING TO KILOVOLT AMPERES ("KVA") DEMAND BILLING;
PROVIDING FOR A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS
CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a conversion
from the current kilowatt ("kw") demand billing to kilovolt amperes
"kVA") billing has a number of advantages, including:
1. The kVA approach provides a positive reinforcement to
customers above 90% power factor, as well as assessing
charges to customers with power factors below 90%. The
additional expense to those below 90% will be the same as
the power factor penalty calculation; and
2. The kVA approach can be accommodated by the City's
current computer billing system, whereas the power factor
penalty approach would require expensive programming
changes; and
3. The kVA approach assesses customers a price per unit of
the demand consumed, the unit has changed from kW to kVA,
but this approach avoids the use of a "penalty" and may
be more palatable to customers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that is in the public
interest to convert from kW demand billing to kVA demand billing;
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON HEREBY ORDAINS:
SECTION I. That Ordinance No. 94-162 is hereby amended by
amending the schedule of rates for electrical services as provided
