SCHEDULE 23
IRRIGATION PEAK REWARDS
PROGRAM
(SUSPENDED)
Service under this schedule is temporarily suspended. Effective April 1, 2013, new service
under this schedule will not be available and no service interruptions will occur (see section:
2013 Program Suspension Period).
PURPOSE
The Irrigation Peak Rewards Program (the Program) is an optional, supplemental service that
permits participating agricultural irrigation Customers taking service under Schedule 24 to allow the
Company to turn off specific irrigation pumps with the use of one or more Load Control Devices. In
exchange for allowing the Company to turn off specified irrigation pumps, participating Customers will
receive a financial incentive for load reductions during the calendar months of June, July, and August
for each metered service point (Metered Service Point) enrolled in the Program.
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available on an optional basis to Customers with a Metered
Service Point or Points receiving service under Schedule 24 where the Metered Service Point serves a
water pumping or water delivery system used to irrigate agricultural crops or pasturage.
The Company shall have the right to select and reject Program participants at its sole discretion
based on criteria the Company considers necessary to ensure the effective operation of the Program.
Selection criteria may include, but will not be limited to, Billing Demand, location, pump horsepower,
pumping system configuration, or electric system configuration. Past participation does not ensure
selection into the Program in future years. Participation may be limited based upon the availability of
Program equipment and funding.
Each eligible Customer who chooses to take service under this optional schedule is required to
enter into a Uniform Irrigation Peak Rewards Service Application/Agreement (Agreement) with the
Company prior to being served under this schedule. The Agreement will grant the Company or its
representative permission, on reasonable notice, to enter the Customer’s property to install one or more
Load Control Devices on the electrical panel servicing the irrigation equipment associated with the
Metered Service Points that are enrolled in this Program and to allow the Company or its representative
reasonable access to the Load Control Device(s) following the installation. By entering into the
Agreement, each Customer also agrees to not increase for the sole purpose of participating in the
Program the capacity, horsepower (HP) or size of the irrigation system served by the Company.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Service under this optional, supplementary Program permits the Company to turn off specified
irrigation pumps for a limited number of hours during the period of June 15 through August 15 (Program
Season). The Company will utilize either dispatchable or timer-based Load Control Devices to turn off
specific irrigation pumps during load control events. In limited applications, a select group of eligible
Customers will be permitted to manually interrupt electric service to participating irrigation pumps during
load control events (See Dispatchable Option 3). In exchange for allowing the Company to interrupt
service to specified irrigation pumps, participating Customers will receive a financial incentive for usage
that occurs during the calendar months of June, July, and August for each Metered Service Point
enrolled in the Program.

IRRIGATION PEAK REWARDS
PROGRAM
(SUSPENDED)
(Continued)
DEFINITIONS
Notification of Program Acceptance. An interested Customer must sign and return to the
Company an Agreement specifying the Metered Service Point(s) to be included in the Program. If a
Customer is selected for participation in the Program, a notification of acceptance into the Program will
be mailed to participants, which will include a listing of the Metered Service Point(s) that have been
enrolled.
Load Control Device. Load Control Device refers to any technology, device, or system utilized
under the Program to enable the Company to initiate the load control event.
Program Season. The Program Season is the period June 15 through August 15 of each year.
Program kW. The Program kW is the demand amount, as measured at the Customer’s meter in
kilowatts (kW), that is multiplied by the applicable incentive amount to determine the Demand Credit
under each Interruption Option.
Nominated Demand. Nominated Demand is the amount of demand that participants under
Dispatchable Option 3 must declare as available for dispatch during load control events.
Program kWh. The Program kWh is the energy amount, as measured at the Customer’s meter
in kilowatt-hours (kWh), that is multiplied by the applicable incentive amount to determine the Energy
Credit under each Interruption Option.
Variable Program kWh. The Variable Program kWh is the demand amount, as measured at the
Customer’s meter in kilowatts (kW) multiplied by the hours of interruption for the Metered Service Point
during the Program Season. The Variable Program kWh is multiplied by the applicable variable
incentive payment to determine the Variable Energy Credit under each Interruption Option.
Variable Program kWh = metered kW x hours of interruption during Program Season
Bill Credit. The Bill Credit is the sum of the Demand Credit and the Energy Credit applied to the
Customer’s monthly bills for usage that occurs during the calendar months of June, July, and August of
each calendar year. This amount may be prorated for the number of days during the months of June,
July, and August that fall in the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with the Program Season. The
Bill Credit amount may be applied directly to participating Customers’ bills or provided in the form of a
check.
Demand Credit. The Demand Credit is a demand-based financial incentive provided in the form
of a credit on the monthly bill for the Metered Service Point enrolled in the Program. The monthly
Demand Credit is calculated by multiplying the Program kW by the demand-related incentive amount
for the Interruption Option selected by the Customer. The Demand Credit will be included on the
Customer’s monthly bills for usage that occurs during the calendar months of June, July, and August of
each year. This amount may be prorated for the number of days during the months of June, July, and
August that fall in the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with the Program Season.
Demand Credit = Program kW x demand-related incentive amount

a credit on the monthly bill for the Metered Service Point enrolled in the Program. The monthly Energy
Credit is calculated by multiplying the Program kWh by the energy-related incentive amount for the
Interruption Option selected by the Customer. The Energy Credit will be included on the Customer’s
monthly bills for usage that occurs during the calendar months of June, July, and August of each year.
This amount may be prorated for the number of days during the months of June, July, and August that
fall in the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with the Program Season.
Energy Credit = Program kWh x energy-related incentive amount
Variable Energy Credit. The Variable Energy Credit is an energy-based financial incentive
provided for the Metered Service Point enrolled in the Program. The Variable Energy Credit is
calculated by multiplying Variable Program kWh by the energy-related incentive amount for the
Interruption Option selected by the Customer. The Variable Energy Credit is paid in the form of a check
no later than 45 days after the Program Season. This amount may be prorated for the number of days
during the months of June, July, and August that fall in the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with
the Program Season.
Variable Energy Credit = Variable Program kWh x variable energy-related incentive amount

Dispatchable Interruption Option (Continued)
Option 3. Metered Service Points with interval metering having more than one pump and at
least 1,000 cumulative HP are eligible for Dispatchable Option 3. Under this Dispatchable
Option, eligible Customers have the flexibility to choose which irrigation pumps will be
interrupted during each dispatched load control event. Customers electing this option must
notify the Company of their Nominated Demand prior to June 1 of each year.
Customers selecting Dispatchable Option 3 are required to provide no less than their
Nominated Demand during each load control event. Each time a customer chooses to provide
less than their Nominated Demand during a load control event, an opt-out fee of $0.00 per kW
will be assessed on the Nominated Demand not made available for interruption. This amount
may be prorated for the number of days during the months of June, July, and August that fall in
the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with the Program Season. The opt-out fee will never
exceed the Bill Credit.
Under Dispatchable Option 3, the Program kW will be based upon the maximum
measured interval demand during the 24-hour period preceding 2:00 P.M. MDT the day of the
announcement of a load control event, minus the average demand during an event, as
measured in kW over applicable load profile metering intervals. This applies to each load
control event initiated during a Billing Period. If there are no load control events during a Billing
Period then the Program kW will be the Nominated Demand. The Program kWh under this
option will be based upon a calculated value, as measured in kWh. The Program kWh will be
calculated separately for each Billing Period by multiplying the monthly Program kW by the ratio
of the monthly energy usage to the Billing Demand for the associated Billing Period.
Timer Option
Under the Timer Option, the Company or its representative will install a timer-based Load
Control Device on the Customer’s electrical panel controlling the irrigation pumps at the Metered
Service Point enrolled in the Program. The Company or its representative will set the timer or timers to
interrupt specified irrigation pumps according to the Timer Interruption Option selected by the
Customer. The Company will set each timer to interrupt service on the designated weekday(s) and/or
Saturday during the hours of 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. MDT. Each Metered Service Point’s timer will be
set to interrupt service on one, two, or three regularly scheduled days per week for each week during
the Program Season. The Company retains the sole right to select the load reduction day(s) for each
Metered Service Point.
Changes to the Interruption Schedule. A Customer who elects to reduce the number of days of
weekly interruption of a Metered Service Point on or after June 15 of each calendar year shall pay the
Company the sum of $0.00, which sum will be included on the Customer’s monthly bill following the
implementation of the requested change. The Customer’s Bill Credit shall be prorated based upon the
number of days in that month the Customer participated under each interruption schedule. The
Company will not accept any requests to increase the number of days of weekly interruption on or after
June 15 of each calendar year.
