Denton Municipal Electric ("DIViE") 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

heating and cooling systems' 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 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.

the Motor Master software program to calculate the kilowatt (KW) or kilovolt
amperes (KVA) savings yield. T he calculation i s based o n horsepower, efficiency,
RPM, and load information.
5. The KW or KVA yield will be multiplied times the rebate incentive amount of
$100/KW or $90/KVA:
KW yield x $100/KW
or KVA yield x $ 90 / KVA

The Denton Electric Utility will visit the customer site to determine KW/KVA savings from
the proposed Adjustable/Variable Speed Drive. Those savings will be awarded on a
$100/KW or $90/KVA basis. A watt-meter will be used before and after installation.

Rebates in excess orS1,000.00 require advance approval of the Director of Electric Utihties.
