SCHEDULE 95 – Continued

100% Renewable Option - The monthly billing shall be based on the customer’s actual electric
usage at the meter selected by the customer. For every kWh of electricity used, the customer
will be charged $0.013/kWh premium for renewable power. The Monthly Billing is in addition to
all other charges contained in the customer’s applicable tariff schedule.

RENEWABLE POWER
For the purpose of this schedule, the renewable power sourced through renewable energy
certificates (RECs) shall be recognized via the Western Renewable Energy Generation
Information System (WREGIS) tracking system or another REC tracking system of record with
preference toward Green-e certified and primarily from these sources: Wind and solar power, but
may also come from other renewable resources.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION:
To ensure that all costs and benefits of this program are only applied to program participants, all
funds collected and spent under this Schedule will be separately identified and tracked. Funds
received from Customers under this Schedule will be used to cover program costs (e.g.: program
management, accounting, communications, etc.) as well as to match block subscriptions to REC
purchases.

RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS/GRANTS:
In an effort to promote and build awareness of renewable energy generation options, if available,
funds collected, but not otherwise required to meet program obligations may be distributed for
one or more of the following renewable projects:

1. Funding for locally-owned, non-residential solar projects. Applicable customers, with
a preference for community-based projects that provide for educational and
environmental benefit to local communities, or otherwise receive service under this
Schedule, may apply for a grant to cover all or a portion of the cost of installation.
2. Funding for research and development projects that encourage Renewable Energy
market transformation in order to accelerate marketability of Renewable Energy
technologies.
3. Funding for above-market costs associated with the new construction of Renewable
Energy facilities or the purchase by contract of Renewable Energy that reduces the
costs of Renewable Energy to be competitive with cost-effective resources.

Eligible renewable energy projects would not be considered for purposes of any Renewable
Portfolio Standard requirements. Renewable energy that is generated in response to any federal
or state statutory requirement to construct or contact for the renewable energy is not eligible for
the funding under this Schedule.

To the extent an eligible project in Section 1, 2, and 3 above is able to generate RECs, the grant
recipient agrees that the Company, on behalf of the Schedule 95 program, has the first right to
claim a share of the project’s REC output. The amount of these RECs is expressed as a
percentage of output when comparing the Schedule 95 financial contribution to the overall cost
of the project. The proportional amount of these RECs will be retired on behalf of the program.
