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, as estimated and mutually agreed upon by the DME General Manager and the customer. (2) Existing customers served under Rate Schedules GSL or TGS who increase their prior existing metered demand by 1,000 kVA. This increase shall be verified by sub - metering (at the Customers expense) the additional load. If sub - metering is not possible, at the discretion of the General Manager, 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.

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 part or all of the Customer's electric service provided by DME. If the Customer -owned generating system larger than 50kW or if the system's primary purpose is to sell energy to the grid and not offset the Customer's consumption, special arrangements and contract may be necessary. 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 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 Rate Rider is defined as a customer not owing any unpaid utility or solid waste debt obligation that is over forty -five (45) days past due to the City of Denton, Texas during the previous 12 months. CONDITIONS OF SERVICE All charges, character of service, and terms and conditions of the electric rate schedule under which the Customer receives service shall apply except as expressly altered by this Rider.

The Customer shall obtain approval from DME before the Customer energizes the customer's on -site generating system or interconnects it with the DME electric system. The Customer shall submit to DME a completed interconnection application form and signed Standard Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Distributed Generation Agreement. The minimum term of an Agreement under this Rider is one year, extended automatically unless terminated by either party with sixty days advance written notice The Customer is responsible for the costs of interconnecting with the DME electric system, including transformers, service lines, or other equipment determined necessary by DME for safe installation and operation of the Customer's equipment with the City's system. The Customer is responsible for any costs associated with required inspections and permits. 51 METERING Metering under this Rider shall be performed by a single meter capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions (delivered and received) to determine the Customer's net energy flow. RATE Beginning in a billing period after a Customer receives approval to interconnect the Customer's on -site generating system from the City of Denton; all energy generated by the Customer's system and delivered to the DME electric system will be considered renewable energy. The Customer shall be billed for all energy delivered by DME to the Customer under the approved residential rates. For any generation delivered by the Customer's system to the DME system up to the amount of energy delivered by DME 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 DME system that exceeds the amount of energy delivered by DME 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 (see Schedule RCA). Any Billing Period Credit shall be applied to the utility charges due from the Customer to the City of Denton for the billing period. INDEMNIFICATION The Customer operating the renewable distributed generation system indemnifies DME and holds DME harmless for all damages and injuries to DME, the Customer, or others arising out of Customer's use, ownership or operation of Customer's distributed generation facilities in parallel with DME's system. Customer is solely responsible for providing adequate protection for operating in parallel with DME's system in such a manner that faults or other disturbances on the DME system do not cause damage to the Customer's distributed generation equipment. 52 SCHEDULE IWG INDEPENDENT WHOLESALE GENERATOR (Effective 10101115) APPLICATION The Independent Wholesale Generator (IWG) rate is applicable to non - renewable generating installations of ten (10) MW or less interconnected to and operating in parallel with DME's distribution system, for the sole purpose of delivering the net output (gross output minus auxiliary load and step up transformer loses) of said generating installation to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ( ERCOT) transmission grid for sale in the ERCOT wholesale power market. DME will interconnect the IWG pursuant to the terms of the DME standard Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Independent Wholesale Generation. Other services or special requirements for interconnection of a specific generating facility not included in the DME standard Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Independent Wholesale Generation, requested by the IWG Customer, or required by DME may be provided pursuant to negotiation and agreement by both the IWG Customer and DME. The provision of said additional services or requirements shall be recorded in the form of an addendum to the DME standard Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Independent Wholesale Generation. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE At a minimum, the IWG Customer shall comply with the current DME technical requirements for independent wholesale generation interconnection specified in the DME standard Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Distributed Generation. The IWG Customer may not begin construction of its facilities until an Agreement for Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Distributed Generation has been signed by both the IWG Customer and the City of Denton. The IWG Customer shall obtain approval from DME before the IWG Customer begins operation of its generating system or interconnects it with the DME electric system. The IWG Customer is responsible for any costs associated with required City of Denton and /or DME inspections and permits. PRE - INTERCONNECTION STUDIES DME may, at its sole discretion perform pre- interconnection studies DME or the City of Denton deems appropriate, which may include, but are not restricted to, a service study, coordination study, emissions impact study, and utility system impact study. In instances where such studies are deemed necessary, the scope of such studies shall be based on the characteristics of the particular IWG generation system to be interconnected, DME's distribution system at the specified proposed location(s), and environmental characteristics of the Denton County area. Such studies will also determine whether the electric interconnection can be made consistent with safe and reliable operation of DME's distribution system. The cost of such analysis will be the responsibility of the IWG Customer. A cost estimate will be provided and agreed to by the IWG Customer prior to DME or the City performing the studies. SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS 53 The IWG Customer will be required to install, operate, and maintain in good order and repair, and without cost to DME, all facilities required by DME for the safe operation of the IWG system in parallel with DME's electric system.
