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 of225 kVA or 200 kW, as estimated
and mutually agreed upon by the Director of Electric Utilities and the customer.
(2) Existing customers served under Rate Schedules GSL or TGS who increase their
prior existing metered demand by 225 kV A or 200 kW. 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 Director of Electric Utilities, 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 Director of Electric
Utilities and the Customer may develop a mutually agreed-upon formula to estimate
the base and additional demand levels.

PROGRAM SI JMMARY
The objective of the EnergySave Program ("EnergySave") is to reduce energy demand and
consumption by promoting energy conservation, thereby reducing the utility bills of Denton
Municipal Electric (DME) customers, reducing the peak load of the DME's electric system,
reducing emissions in the state, and promoting energy conservation. The EnergySave Program
offers incentives, in the form of rebates on the electric service bills of DME retail customers and
cash incentives to builders.
Program applicants who qualify for both Option I and Option II of the Program may choose
to receive incentives under either Option I or Option IT, but will not be eligible to receive

not eligible for the structure incentive. The EnergySave Program will be in effect each fiscal year
beginning on October I, until the allotted funding is depleted or until cancellation of the program by
DME. At the time the funds are depleted, no additional applications for participation will be
accepted until the next fiscal year.
The EnergySave Program guidelines and payments are subject to change by DME without prior
notice. DME may, at any time, discontinue the EnergySave Program without prior notice.

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

APPI TrATlON/PROGRAM SIlMMARY
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. Satisf'ying these construction requirements will improve a residential
structure's heating and cooling system's operating efficiency. Customers requesting to
participate in the Structure Incentive program are not eligible to simultaneously
participate in the HV AC Equipment Rebate. 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 I, 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.

The Energy Cost Adjustment (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:
ECA = (projected energy costs for next quarter)/(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 her designate shall recalculate the Energy Cost Adjustment and,
with Public Utilities Board approval, may establish an ECA that collects or retums 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 Energy Cost Adjustment Charge shall be based on actual KWh consumption during the billing

Energy Cost Adjustment Charge = KWh x Energy Cost Adjustment

APPI Tr:ATION
This Rider is available to any retail customer receiving electric service under a City of Denton
residential electric rate schedule who owns and operates an on-site generating system powered
by a renewable resource capable of producing not more than 3 kW of power, and who
interconnects with the City of Denton's electric system. Renewable energy technology is any
technology that exclusively relies on an energy source that is naturally regenerated over a short
time and derived directly or indirectly from the sun or wind. 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 the City of
Denton.
r:ONOITIONS OF SFRVTr:F
All charges, character of service, and terms and conditions of the City of Denton electric rate
schedule under which the Customer receives service apply except as expressly altered by this
Rider.
The Customer shall comply with the current City of Denton technical requirements for
distributed generation interconnection. The Customer shall obtain approval from the City of
Denton before the Customer energizes the customer's on-site generating system or interconnects
it with the City of Denton's electric system. The Customer shall submit to the City a completed
interconnection application form and signed 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 City of Denton's electric
system, including transformers, service lines, or other equipment determined necessary by the
City 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.
MFTFRING
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.
RAIE
Beginning in a billing period after a Customer receives approval to interconnect the Customer's
on-site generating system from the City of Denton, if the energy delivered by the Customer's
14
approved system to the City of Denton's electric system exceeds the amount of energy delivered
by the City of Denton to the Customer, the City shall credit the Customer's account for the
energy generated as described below.
The monthly credit, if any, is calculated as follows:
Each kWh delivered from the Customer's approved system to the City of Denton's electric
system in excess of the kWh delivered by the City of Denton to that Customer is multiplied by
the billing period's Energy Cost Adjustment Rate.
Any credit shall be applied to the utility charges due from the Customer to the City of Denton for
the billing period.
