(Effective 10101105)
This rider is available to the Customers who receive service from Rate Schedules GSL or TGS.
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 225 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 KVA 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.
The Customer shall be charged under the appropriate applicable rate schedules with the exception
that the monthly billing demand (for GSL) or system demand and on-peak demand (for TGS) will be
adjusted in accordance with the following table:

FNERGYSAVF PROGRAM
(Effective 10101105)
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 system's operating efficiency. Customers requesting to
participate in the Structure Incentive program are not eligible to simultaneously
participate in the HVAC 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 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.
Qnalificatinn Guidelines for HVAC Equipment
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 air conditioner or heat pump must be
new when installed and have a minimum efficiency rating of 14 SEER.
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.
Requests for payment must be received by DME within thirty (30) days of
installation.
34
G. Equipment and installation must be permitted and inspected by the City's Building
Inspection Department before final approval for payment is issued.
H. The EnergySave Program guidelines and payments are subject to change by DME
without prior notice.

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.
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

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
