CONTINUITY, CURTAILMENT AND
INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRIC
SERVICE
1. Electric Service is inherently subject to occasional interruption, suspension, curtailment,
and fluctuation. The Company designs and operates its system in conformance with the service voltage
ranges described in the current edition of standard C84.1 of the American National Standards Institute —
American National Standard for Electric Power Systems and Equipment — Voltage Ratings (60HZ) and
will have no liability to its Customers or any other persons for any interruption, suspension, curtailment, or
fluctuation in service or for any loss or damage caused thereby if such interruption, suspension,
curtailment, or fluctuation results from any of the following:
a. Causes beyond the Company's reasonable control including, but not limited to,
fire, flood, drought, winds, acts of the elements, court orders, insurrections or riots, generation
failures, lack of sufficient generating capacity, breakdowns of or damage to facilities of the
Company or of third parties, acts of God or public enemy, strikes or other labor disputes, civil,
military or governmental authority, electrical disturbances originating on or transmitted through
electrical systems with which the Company's system is interconnected, and acts or omissions of
third parties;
b. Repair, maintenance, improvement, renewal or replacement work on the
Company's electrical system, which work in the sole judgment of the Company is necessary or
prudent; to the extent practicable work shall be done at such time as will minimize inconvenience
to the Customer and, whenever practicable, the Customer shall be given reasonable notice of
such work;
C. Automatic or manual actions taken by the Company, including, but not limited to,
load curtailment or actions under or related to a commission-approved Wildfire Mitigation Plan,
which in its sole judgment are necessary or prudent to protect the performance, integrity,
reliability, safety, or stability of the Company's electrical system or any electrical system with which
it is inter-connected.
2. Load curtailment and interruption carried out in compliance with an order by governmental
authority shall follow the Company's plan entitled "Load Curtailment and Interruption Plan", as outlined

CONTINUITY, CURTAILMENT AND
INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRIC
SERVICE
LOAD CURTAILMENT AND INTERRUPTION PLAN:
OVERVIEW
1. The Company will comply with all state and federal mandates to curtail the electric
energy used by its Customers to prevent an electrical system collapse. Events that may trigger load
curtailment, either upon notice from state agencies, the Regional Reliability Coordinator, or at the
discretion of the Company, include but are not limited to:
a. Fire, flood, drought, winds, generation failures, lack of sufficient generating capacity,
equipment failures, governmental authority,
b. Actions taken to protect the performance, integrity, reliability or stability of the
Company's electrical system or any electrical system to which it is interconnected, which
actions may occur automatically or manually,
c. Actions taken by the Company that in its sole judgment are necessary or prudent for the
safety of people and/or equipment, or
d. Cyber-attacks or software failure of any part of the Company's generation, transmission,
and/or distribution system protection and/or control systems.
2. Load curtailment can last for a short amount of time, but also could last for hours or even
days.
AUTOMATIC, REMOTE AND MANUAL ACTIONS
1. Automatic actions occur through the operation of programmed protective equipment
installed on the Company's electrical system, including, without limitation, equipment such as automatic
relays, generator controls, circuit breakers, and switches. This protection equipment is preset to
operate under certain prescribed conditions that, in the sole judgment of the Company, threaten system
performance, integrity, safety, reliability or stability.
2. Where Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment is installed, the
Company will remotely control switches, circuit breakers, relays, voltage regulators or other equipment.
In areas where no SCADA equipment is installed, actions are performed manually by on-site field
personnel.
3. If actions are undertaken, then to the extent permitted by the operating characteristics of
the electrical system, the Company will perform such actions so that interruption, curtailment, or
fluctuation of service to customers will be accomplished sequentially, unless it is necessary in the sole
judgment of the Company, or if required by the Regional Reliability Coordinator to vary said sequence
in order to protect system performance, integrity, safety, reliability or stability.
