customer has DPU-E-approved electric generating equipment used only in the event of an interruption in DPU-E's

service, a cogeneration/parallel operation agreement, or a renewable energy (i.e. wind, solar) operation

agreement that has been executed between the customer and DPU-E.

Deposit:

All new electric customers shall be required to make a deposit to their utility account prior to receiving

electric service. Upon application for service, all new customers must indicate whether the service is being

requested for property that is owned or rented. A "new customer" is a customer who falls into the following

three (3) statuses: 1. The customer does not have an existing utility account; 2. The customer is a propertyowner who does not have a utility account in "good standing" per Subsection 8-1C-3.12.3.1; [3.] The

customer is a property renter.

The new customer deposit shall be one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for electric service or an amount

equal to two (2) months of estimated charges based upon historical usage at that location, whichever is

greater. For an existing customer requesting electric service for a new SDP, the deposit shall be one

hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for electric service, or an amount estimated to represent two (2) months of

service if the estimate exceeds the minimum amounts. The Department of Finance shall determine the

amount of the required deposit where an estimate is used.Utility Deposits:

Utility deposits will be credited to property owners in "good standing" defined as having at least

twenty-two (22) timely payments in the most recent 24-month period of electric service and no more

than one (1) payment or draft returned for any reason. Utility deposits credited shall be applied to

the property owner's next bill following the 24th consecutive month of timely payments. No deposits

to current accounts shall be refunded directly to the customer until account closure.

Utility deposits will be credited to property renters upon account closure. No deposits to current

accounts shall be refunded to the property renter until account closure. The account balance will bereconciled, and any remaining deposit shall be refunded to the property renter.

All utility deposits shall be held by the Department of Finance in a separate interest-bearing account.

Interest shall be credited to a customer's account annually on April 30. Interest shall be computed by

averaging the monthly federal funds rate, as published in the "Wall Street Journal," and using this value as

the annual rate of interest (APR).

Payment Period: Payment is due within fifteen (15) days of the billing date shown on the utility bill. Thereafter, the

thirty-two one-hundredths of a cent ($0.0032) per kilowatt hour, or five percent (5%) of the gross utility bill prior to

taxes, whichever is the lower value, to all utility bills for electric energy which is distributed, supplied, furnished,

sold or transmitted for use and consumption within the corporate limits of the City. The municipal tax referred to in

Subsection 8-1C-3.16 of this Title shall not be included in the basis for calculating the State tax. The value of theState tax will be itemized on the customer's utility bill (exceptions will be made as applicable for entities not subject

to such tax).

8-1C-4: SCHEDULE OF RATES:

Development Of Rates: A rate and fee study was conducted to determine the appropriate set of DPU-E rates and

fees by computing the power purchase agreement and other "costs" to DPU-E and translating it to cost-of-service

customer "prices" for DPU-E supply of electric energy and services. The development of the fees relied upon

variables such as material costs, labor costs, and lifecycles of the materials being installed.

Reserved.

Customer ePortal Website: DPU-E, through the NSGI program, will provide an online portal named the DPU-

E customer ePortal website, or "ePortal". This secure online portal will provide a mechanism for thecustomer to register their electric utility account, and will henceforth provide a plethora of information such

as their electric energy consumption, energy tips, energy consumption projections, City news, alerts, and a

mechanism to make modifications to their electric utility account.

Seasonality: The scheduled rates in this Section 8-1C-4 have been developed with the financial

consideration of the variability of the customer's consumption of electric energy during the year. The rate's

scheduled price to the customer reflects this variance, and as such no other seasonal components will be

implemented outside of these below scheduled costs.

are calculated in the DPU-E IT systems based on the energy (kWh) values obtained from smart electric

meters. Demand values are calculated on an hourly basis through the summation of the energy values

across the 15-minute sub-hourly intervals: For select commercial and industrial customers with smart

electric meters that have 30-minute energy intervals, an hourly demand value is derived from the

summation of the energy values across the 30-minute sub-hourly intervals. The demand charge for the

billing period is calculated with the maximum hourly demand value.

Coincident Demand Calculations: Coincident demand calculations shall be made at an SDP with two (2) or

more electric meters which may individually carry the full load of the premises served at any given time

during a billing period (i.e. banked electric meters at particular premises). Coincident demand calculations

shall be made as follows. The demand values as outlined in Section 8-1C-4.3.1 shall be added across the

multiple electric meters at an SDP for each hourly interval within a billing period (the "sum"). The maximum

sum for such calculation will determine the hourly billing demand for the billing period.

Demand Adjustment: DPU-E will take electric system outages into consideration when calculating the

kilowatt demand (kW) component of utility bills. For any kW-delivered rate component, DPU-E will ignore the

demand values for any day that any given customer experiences a power outage. Although power outages

are rare in the DPU-E system, the inrush demand for electricity following a power outage is normally greater

than the typical demand for power, and using such values will not be indicative of true demand. DPU-E will

utilize outage messages from the smart electric meters as an indication than an outage has occurred during

a specific day.

Power Factor/Quality At A Customer's Premises: DPU-E requires customers to use and maintain electric

equipment on their premises (all rate classes, all types of premises) such that they are not inducing a negative

power quality on other customers and/or to the DPU-E electrical distribution system. Power quality attributes ofconcern are such items as harmonics, distortion, VAr (reactive power), high voltage, low voltage, unapproved

backfeed, and interruptions. The specific requirements for power quality are set forth in the DPU-E Service Rules

and Policies Handbook. If a customer is determined to be inducing a poor power factor/quality to other customers

and/or to the DPU-E electrical distribution system, they, through a written agreement with DPU-E, shall be

susceptible to the power factor/quality fee, to be charged on the customer's bill when infractions occur.

Residential Rates (RS):

Residential Description: This rate class shall be available to any customer using DPU-E electric service for

residential purposes or to a customer whose entire heating requirements are supplied under this rate bypermanently installed electric heating facilities. Multi-family residential electric service under this Subsection

will be furnished only to single premises. In multi-family residences, the common areas shall be billed to the

property owner as a separate customer.

Combined Residence And Business: Where a residence and a business are combined into a single

premises, electric service will not be furnished under this Subsection for the whole premises unless the

primary electric demand is to be used for residential purposes.

In all other cases, electric service shall be billed at the general service rate and the infrastructure

availability charge (IAC) and facility installation charge (FIC) shall be paid before electric service isprovided.

Electric service provided through ancillary electric meter(s) at such premises shall be billed at the

general service rate.

Residential Flat Rate Charges:

Flat Rate Description: These rates are available to all residential customers. They are referred to as

"flat" rates because each kilowatt hour (kWh) is charged at the same price no matter when it is used.

Street Lighting Rates:

Street Lighting Description: This rate is available to any municipality, county, state or any subdivision within

the area served by DPU-E.

Customer And Energy Charges: The following calculation shall determine the annual charge for streetlighting. This charge is subject to any applicable Municipal and State taxes for each billing period. DPU-E

The annual charge for street lighting is equal to the current metered lighting (ML) kWh rate,

multiplied by the actual total watts of lighting for the customer, multiplied by twelve (12) hours/day

average use of the lights, and multiplied by three hundred sixty-five (365) days. For example, the

equation for this charge for a 250-watt light is: $0.0940/kWh x 12 hours x 365 days/year x 250

watt/1,000 watt/kW = $102.93/year.

There shall be no charge billed to the City's Department of Public Works for high pressure sodium

lamps of any wattage.Installation, Operation, And Maintenance Of Equipment:

The City's Department of Public Works (DPW) shall furnish, install and maintain, at its expense, all
