Tatum, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs Effective – June 5, 2020 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho SCHEDULE 8 SMALL GENERAL SERVICE ON-SITE GENERATION AVAILABILITY Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are adjacent to the location where Small General Service, On-Site Generation is desired, and where additional investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not necessary to supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate Small On-Site Generation Systems under this schedule to generate electricity to reduce all or part of their monthly energy usage. APPLICABILITY Effective until a final order is issued that addresses metering configuration for Schedule 84 customers, and any appeal period has passed or the order has been upheld on appeal, existing Schedule 8 customers who no longer meet the energy usage requirement of Schedule 8 that ‘energy usage is 2,000 kWh, or less, per Billing Period for ten or more Billing Periods during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods[,]’ can elect Schedule 8. Service under this schedule is applicable to Electric Service supplied to a Customer at one Point of Delivery and measured through one meter. This schedule is applicable to Customers whose metered energy usage is 2,000 kWh, or less, per Billing Period for ten or more Billing Periods during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods. When the Customer’s Billing Period is less than 27 days or greater than 36 days, the energy usage will be prorated to 30 days for purposes of determining eligibility under this schedule. Customers whose metered energy usage exceeds 2,000 kWh per Billing Period on an actual or prorated basis three times during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods are not eligible for service under this schedule and will be automatically transferred to the applicable schedule effective with the next Billing Period. New customers may initially be placed on this schedule based on estimated usage. This schedule is also applicable to non-profit or tax supported ball fields, fairgrounds or rodeo grounds with high demands and intermittent use exceeding 2,000 kWh per month. This schedule is not applicable to standby service, service for resale, shared service, to individual or multiple family dwellings first served through one meter after February 9, 1982, or to agricultural irrigation service after October 31, 2004. Service under this schedule is also subject to the following conditions: 1. Customer owns/and or operates a Generation Facility fueled by solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower or represents fuel cell technology, with a total nameplate capacity rating of 25 kilowatts (kW) or less, that is connected in parallel with the Idaho Power System. 2. The Generation Facility is interconnected to the Customer’s individual electric system on the Customer’s side of the Point of Delivery, thus all energy received and delivered by the Company is through the Company’s existing watt-hour retail meter. 3. Customer meets all requirements applicable to Small On-Site Generation Systems detailed in the Company’s Schedule 72, Interconnections to Non-Utility Generation.
