This rider is available to electric service supplied at any one location. It is for finn 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.

APPLICATION/PROGRAM SUIVIMARY
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. 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 heafmg 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.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES

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.
CONDTTW~N,q OF ,qF, RVTC~
All charges, character of service, and terms and conditions of the City of Denton electric rate

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.
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.

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
approved system to the City of Denton's electric system exceeds the amount of energy delivered
40
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
