Voluntary Events are events that occur outside any or all of the Mandatory Season dispatch parameters. Participating Customers may choose to opt-out of Voluntary Program Events with no penalties or reductions in their financial compensation for participation in the Irrigation Load Control Program. • Non-Discrimination: Eligible facilities of similar size, operations and ability to participate will be treated in a fair and consistent manner. Any claims of discriminatory treatment should be addressed through the consumer complaint process on the Commission's website: h!Ltps://puc.idaho.gov/Form/ConsumerAssistance/ • Participation: The Company or Program Provider shall have the right to qualify program participants, at their sole discretion based on criteria the Company or Program Provider considers necessary to ensure the effective operation of the Program and utility system. Criteria may include,but will not be limited to: having an eligible load control device installed on an enrolled pump,the Program Provider having reliable communication with the installed load control device(including the ability to receive data from the device and for the device to receive command signals from the Program Provider), ability for the Program Provider to access an enrolled pump for load control device installation and troubleshooting purposes, impact on the Company's transmission and distribution system, and/or cost effectiveness. A one-time enrollment fee per pump may apply if a program participant's average pump size is less than 50 kW. • Incentives: Participating Customers will be compensated according to the rates in Table 1, with applicable adjustments for Average Available Load and Event Participation. If a Customer opts out of any Mandatory Events, they will be compensated utilizing the Base Incentive Rate.
