SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION REQUIREMENTS OF NON-EXPORTING
SYSTEMS

In addition to the requirements of Section 1, the following section is applicable to all Customer
Generators electing to establish their system as Non-Export.

NON-EXPORT TOTAL NAMEPLATE CAPACITY LIMIT

For customers taking service under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7 that own and/or operate a
Generation Facility, service is subject to an aggregate DER Total Nameplate Capacity of 25 kVA or less,
that is operated in Parallel with the Idaho Power System.

NON-EXPORT CONTROL SYSTEM

1. Non-Export Systems must incorporate one of the following three options:

a. Option 1: (“Advanced Functionality”): The use of an internal transfer relay, Energy
Management System, or other customer facility hardware or software system(s) may be used to
ensure power is never exported across the Interconnection Point. To ensure that Inadvertent
Export of power is limited to acceptable levels, all of the following conditions must be met: (a)
inverter-based DERs must utilize a Smart Inverter; (b) the DER must monitor the total Inadvertent
Export; (c) the DER must disconnect from the Company’s distribution system or halt energy
production within two seconds after the period of continuous Inadvertent Export exceeds 30
seconds; (d) the DER must enter a safe operating mode where Inadvertent Export will not occur
as a result of a failure of the control or Smart Inverter system for more than 30 seconds, which
results in loss of control signal, loss of control power or single component failure or related control
sensing of the control circuitry.

b. Option 2: (“Reverse Power Protection”): To ensure power is never exported, a
reverse power relay protective function must be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The
default setting for this Protection Equipment, when used, shall be 0.1% (export) of the DERs Total
Nameplate Capacity, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay.

c. Option 3: (“Minimum Power Protection”): To ensure at least a minimum amount of
power is imported at all times (and, therefore, that power is not exported), an under-power
protective function may be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The default setting for this
non-export control system, when used, shall be 5% (import) of the DERs Total Nameplate
Capacity, with a maximum two (2) second time delay.

2. Control System Failure: Where applicable, any failure of the Customer’s DER control
system for 30 seconds or more, which includes, but is not limited to; the internal transfer relay, energy
management system, or other Customer facility hardware or software system(s) intended to prevent the
reverse power flow, shall cause the Customer’s DER to enter a safe operating mode whereby the
production of energy from the Non-Export DER is autonomously limited to an amount that shall not cause
Inadvertent Export to occur until such time that the Customer has reestablished real power output control
of the non-export control system.

SYSTEMS (Continued)

UNAUTHORIZED INADVERTENT EXPORT

Inadvertent Export exceeding three hours of the DER Total Nameplate Capacity in any 30-day
period will be defined as unauthorized Inadvertent Export, and the following steps will be followed for
Customers with Non-Exporting Systems:

1. The Company will notify the Non-Export Customer Generator that their Customer
Generator System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit.

2. After notification of Inadvertent Export, the following will occur:

a. For Schedule 1, Residential and Schedule 7, Small General Non-Exporting
Systems, the Customer Generator must rectify Inadvertent Export within 30 days after receipt of
the notification by Idaho Power that the Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent
Export limit. If the Customer Generator has not rectified Inadvertent Export after 30 days, at the
Customer’s election, one of the following actions will occur:

i. The Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open
position until the issue that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be
required before the Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system; or,

ii. If the Customer does not elect to open the disconnect, the Customer
Generator will be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, as appropriate, and subject to
applicable provisions of Section 2. If the Customer elects to be placed on Schedule 6 or
Schedule 8, the Customer will be given the option to submit an additional application and
be moved back to Schedule 1 or Schedule 7, as appropriate, after 180 days.

b. For Schedules other than Schedule 1 or Schedule 7:

i. Upon receipt of the notification by Idaho Power that the Customer
Generator’s Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit, the
Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open position until the issue
that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be required before the
Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system.

3. If it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Company, that unauthorized Inadvertent
Export results in damage to equipment on the Company’s system, the Customer Generator will be
responsible for all costs associated with replacing the Company’s damaged equipment and defend,
indemnify, and reimburse the Company for liabilities or damages incurred by the Company for third-party
claims arising out of the Customer Generator’s unauthorized Inadvertent Export.

SECTION 4: ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION REQUIREMENTS OF NON-EXPORTING
SYSTEMS 3 MVA OR GREATER

In addition to Section 1 and 3, the following section is applicable to all Customers requesting
interconnection of Non-Exporting Systems with Total Nameplate Capacity of 3 MVA or greater.

CUSTOMER GENERATOR INTERCONNECTION PROCESS

1. Customer Generator shall pay the actual costs of all required interconnection studies. Any
difference between the deposit (if required) and the actual cost of the study shall be paid by or refunded
to Customer Generator, as appropriate. If, during the course of preparing a study, the Company incurs
costs in excess of the deposit amount, the Company may require that the deposit amount be replenished
in an amount equal to the festimated costs for completion of the study. If a deposit amount sufficient to
pay for completion of the study is not maintained, the Company may suspend work on the study.

2. Unless modified by the provisions of this schedule, the FERC-approved Large Generator
Interconnection Procedures and Small Generator Interconnection Procedures posted on the Company’s
website will apply to the Customer Generator Interconnection Process.

3. Application. The Customer Generator will submit a completed interconnection application
in the form posted on the Company’s website. The application form includes a general description of the
DER and its location. The application includes payment of an application fee to be applied against costs
the Company incurs to perform the Feasibility Study described below. The amount of the application fee
is $1,000.

4. Study Agreements. Subsequent to the Customer Generator submitting an Application,
the Customer Generator will be offered a series of study agreements. The individual study agreements
establish the time to perform the study, and the deposit the Customer Generator is to provide prior to
commencement of the study. The studies consist of:

a. The Feasibility Study: The Feasibility Study is intended to ensure that the
Company’s system is sufficiently equipped to incorporate proposed DER in a manner that
conforms with good utility practices and the National Electric Safety Code. The Feasibility Study
Agreement states that no deposit is required because the application fee covers the deposit.

b. The System Impact Study: For higher complexity projects, the System Impact
Study provides a detailed assessment of the distribution and/or transmission system adequacy to
accommodate the DER through the evaluation of equipment capabilities and electrical
performance requirements. This step may not be necessary for some projects depending on the
size and location of the project. The System Impact Study Agreement includes a deposit of
$2,000 for a distribution system impact study or a $10,000 deposit for a transmission system
impact study.

c. The Facility Study: The Facility Study includes the engineering to determine the
design specifications of the project. The Facility Study Agreement includes a deposit of 5% of
the total project costs that were determined in the System Impact Study Report (“SISR”) or the
Feasibility Study Report if a SISR is not required, capped at $30,000.

At the end of each stage of the three-step study process, the Company will provide the Customer
Generator with an increasingly more refined and detailed report that, among other things, will present a
list of required Interconnection Facilities and a non-binding, good faith estimate of Customer Generator’s
cost responsibility for the Interconnection Facilities. If long-lead-time equipment items need to be ordered
to meet Customer Generator’s construction schedule, the Company will request advance funding by the
Customer Generator to cover these equipment costs.

5. Customer Generator Interconnection Agreement. The Customer Generator
Interconnection Agreement (“CGIA”), will be offered to the Customer Generator following completion of
the Study Phase. The CGIA will utilize the Uniform Customer Generator Interconnection Agreement
template included in this schedule.

INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS

DER greater than 3 MVA Total Nameplate Capacity will require additional Company-Furnished
Protection, Metering, and communications Equipment. This equipment will be further defined in the CGIA
Attachment 1.

COST OF INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES

The Customer Generator will pay all costs of interconnecting a Generation Facility to the
Company’s system. Costs of interconnection include the costs of furnishing and constructing required
Upgrades, which will be determined pursuant to Rule H. To the extent that additional facilities not
provided for under Rule H, including transmission and/or substation facilities, are required to interconnect
the requested Generation Facility, special arrangements will be made in a separate agreement between
the Customer Generator and the Company.

Each request for interconnection will go through the Customer Generator Interconnection
Process. Throughout the Customer Generator Interconnection Process, the Company will periodically
bill the Customer Generator for engineering costs incurred or obligated. Failure to pay an invoice within
the time specified in the invoice will result in the suspension of work on the interconnection. Customer
Generator can end the Customer Generator Interconnection Process at any time. If Customer Generator
decides to end the Customer Generator Interconnection Process prior to completion, the Company will
either refund any monies held for security that have not been spent or obligated, or issue an invoice to
Customer Generator for costs incurred prior to cancellation.

SYSTEM PROTECTION, DER METERING, AND DER COMMUNICATION MAINTENANCE CHARGE

The Customer shall pay the actual costs of System Protection, DER metering, and DER
communication equipment, as identified in the study process, prior to the start of Parallel operations. The
Customer will pay a Maintenance Charge of 0.59 percent per month times the investment in the System
Protection, DER metering, and DER communication equipment. The Customer Generator will also be
responsible for any applicable monthly charges as outlined in Attachment 1 of the CGIA.

5.3 Temporary Disconnection. Temporary disconnection shall continue only for so
long as reasonably necessary under “Good Utility Practice.” Good Utility Practice means any of
the practices, methods and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electric
industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods and acts which, in the
exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known at the time the decision was made,
could have been expected to accomplish the desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with
good business practices, reliability, safety and expedition. Good Utility Practice is not intended
to be limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of all others, but rather to be
acceptable practices, methods, or acts generally accepted in the region. Good Utility Practice
includes compliance with WECC or NERC requirements. Payment of lost revenue resulting from
temporary disconnection shall be governed by the power purchase agreement.

5.3.1 Emergency Conditions. "Emergency Condition" means a condition or
situation: (1) that in the judgment of the Party making the claim is imminently likely to
endanger life or property; or (2) that, in the case of the Company, is imminently likely (as
determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the
security of, or damage to the Company’s transmission/distribution system, the Company’s
Interconnection Facilities or the equipment of the Company’s customers; or (3) that, in the
case of the Seller, is imminently likely (as determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to
cause a material adverse effect on the reliability and security of, or damage to, the
Generation Facility or the Seller’s Interconnection Facilities. Under Emergency
Conditions, either the Company or the Seller may immediately suspend interconnection
service and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility. The Company shall notify the
Seller promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency Condition that may reasonably
be expected to affect the Seller’s operation of the Generation Facility. The Seller shall
notify the Company promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency Condition that may
reasonably be expected to affect the Company’s equipment or service to the Company’s
customers. To the extent information is known, the notification shall describe the
Emergency Condition, the extent of the damage or deficiency, the expected effect on the
operation of both Parties' facilities and operations, its anticipated duration, and the
necessary corrective action.

5.3.2 Routine Maintenance, Construction, and Repair. The Company may
interrupt interconnection service or curtail the output of the Seller’s Generation Facility and
temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility from the Company’s
transmission/distribution system when necessary for routine maintenance, construction,
and repairs on the Company’s transmission/distribution system. The Company will make
a reasonable attempt to contact the Seller prior to exercising its rights to interrupt
interconnection or curtail deliveries from the Seller’s Facility. Seller understands that in
the case of emergency circumstances, real time operations of the electrical system, and/or
unplanned events, the Company may not be able to provide notice to the Seller prior to
interruption, curtailment or reduction of electrical energy deliveries to the Company. The
Company shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such reduction or temporary
disconnection with the Seller.

5.3.3 Scheduled Maintenance. On or before January 31 of each calendar year,
Seller shall submit a written proposed maintenance schedule of significant Facility
maintenance for that calendar year and the Company and Seller shall mutually agree as
to the acceptability of the proposed schedule. The Parties determination as to the
acceptability of the Seller’s timetable for scheduled maintenance will take into
consideration Good Utility Practices, Idaho Power system requirements and the Seller’s
preferred schedule. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold acceptance of the proposed
maintenance schedule.

5.3.4. Maintenance Coordination. The Seller and the Company shall, to the
extent practical, coordinate their respective transmission/distribution system and
Generation Facility maintenance schedules such that they occur simultaneously. Seller
shall provide and maintain adequate protective equipment sufficient to prevent damage to
the Generation Facility and Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities. In some cases,
some of Seller’s protective relays will provide back-up protection for Idaho Power’s
facilities. In that event, Idaho Power will test such relays annually and Seller will pay the
actual cost of such annual testing.

5.3.5 Forced Outages. During any forced outage, the Company may suspend
interconnection service to effect immediate repairs on the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide
the Seller with prior notice. If prior notice is not given, the Company shall, upon request,
provide the Seller written documentation after the fact explaining the circumstances of the
disconnection.

5.3.6 Adverse Operating Effects. The Company shall notify the Seller as soon
as practicable if, based on Good Utility Practice, operation of the Seller’s Generation
Facility may cause disruption or deterioration of service to other customers served from
the same electric system, or if operating the Generation Facility could cause damage to
the Company’s transmission/distribution system or other affected systems. Supporting
documentation used to reach the decision to disconnect shall be provided to the Seller
upon request. If, after notice, the Seller fails to remedy the adverse operating effect within
a reasonable time, the Company may disconnect the Generation Facility. The Company
shall provide the Seller with reasonable notice of such disconnection, unless the
provisions of Article 5.3.1 apply.

5.3.7 Modification of the Generation Facility. The Seller must receive written
authorization from the Company before making any change to the Generation Facility that
may have a material impact on the safety or reliability of the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Modifications shall be done in accordance with Good Utility Practice. If the Seller makes
such modification without the Company’s prior written authorization, the latter shall have
the right to temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility.

5.3.8 Reconnection. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to restore the
Generation Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the Company’s
transmission/distribution system to their normal operating state as soon as reasonably
practicable following a temporary disconnection.

5.3.9 Voltage Levels. Seller, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, shall
minimize voltage fluctuations and maintain voltage levels acceptable to Idaho Power.
Idaho Power may, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, upon one hundred eighty
(180) days' notice to the Seller, change its nominal operating voltage level by more than
ten percent (10%) at the Point of Delivery, in which case Seller shall modify, at Idaho
Power's expense, Seller's equipment as necessary to accommodate the modified nominal
operating voltage level.

5.4 Land Rights.

5.4.1 Seller to Provide Access. Seller hereby grants to Idaho Power for the term
of this Agreement all necessary rights-of-way and easements to install, operate, maintain,
replace, and remove Idaho Power's Metering Equipment, Interconnection Equipment,
Disconnection Equipment, Protection Equipment and other Special Facilities necessary or
useful to this Agreement, including adequate and continuing access rights on property of
Seller. Seller warrants that it has procured sufficient easements and rights-of-way from
third parties so as to provide Idaho Power with the access described above. All documents
granting such easements or rights-of-way shall be subject to Idaho Power's approval and
in recordable form.

5.4.2 Use of Public Rights-of-Way. The Parties agree that it is necessary to
avoid the adverse environmental and operating impacts that would occur as a result of
duplicate electric lines being constructed in close proximity. Therefore, subject to Idaho
Power's compliance with Paragraph 5.4.4, Seller agrees that should Seller seek and
receive from any local, state or federal governmental body the right to erect, construct and
maintain Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities upon, along and over any and all public
roads, streets and highways, then the use by Seller of such public right-of-way shall be
subordinate to any future use by Idaho Power of such public right-of-way for construction
and/or maintenance of electric distribution and transmission facilities and Idaho Power
may claim use of such public right-of-way for such purposes at any time. Except as
required by Paragraph 5.4.4, Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for
exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.2.

5.4.3 Joint Use of Facilities. Subject to Idaho Power's compliance with
Paragraph 15.4.4, Idaho Power may use and attach its distribution and/or transmission
facilities to Seller's Interconnection Facilities, may reconstruct Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to accommodate Idaho Power's usage or Idaho Power may construct its own
distribution or transmission facilities along, over and above any public right-of-way
acquired from Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5.4.2, attaching Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to such newly constructed facilities. Except as required by Paragraph 5.4.4,
Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for exercising its rights under this
Paragraph 5.4.3.

5.4.4 Conditions of Use. It is the intention of the Parties that the Seller be left in
substantially the same condition, both financially and electrically, as Seller existed prior to
Idaho Power's exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4. Therefore, the Parties agree
that the exercise by Idaho Power of any of the rights enumerated in Paragraphs 5.4.2 and
5.4.3 shall: (1) comply with all applicable laws, codes and Good Utility Practices, (2)
equitably share the costs of installing, owning and operating jointly used facilities and
rights-of-way. If the Parties are unable to agree on the method of apportioning these
costs, the dispute will be submitted to the Commission for resolution and the decision of
the Commission will be binding on the Parties, and (3) shall provide Seller with an
interconnection to Idaho Power's system of equal capacity and durability as existed prior
to Idaho Power exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.

6. Assignment, Liability, Indemnity, Force majeure, Consequential Damages and Default.

6.1 Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by either Party upon twenty-one
(21) calendar days prior written notice and opportunity to object by the other Party; provided that:

6.1.1 Either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other
Party to any affiliate of the assigning Party with an equal or greater credit rating and with
the legal authority and operational ability to satisfy the obligations of the assigning Party
under this Agreement.

6.1.2 The Seller shall have the right to contingently assign this Agreement,
without the consent of the Company, for collateral security purposes to aid in providing
financing for the Generation Facility, provided that the Seller will promptly notify the
Company of any such contingent assignment.

6.1.3 Any attempted assignment that violates this article is void and ineffective.
Assignment shall not relieve a Party of its obligations, nor shall a Party's obligations be
enlarged, in whole or in part, by reason thereof. An assignee is responsible for meeting
the same financial, credit, and insurance obligations as the Seller. Where required,
consent to assignment will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.2 Limitation of Liability. Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost,
claim, injury, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from
any act or omission in its performance of this Agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct
damage actually incurred. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for any indirect,
special, consequential, or punitive damages, except as authorized by this Agreement.

6.3 Indemnity.

6.3.1 This provision protects each Party from liability incurred to third parties as
a result of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement. Liability under this provision is
exempt from the general limitations on liability found in Article 6.2.

6.3.2 The Parties shall at all times indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party
harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions relating
to injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, suits, recoveries, costs
and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties,
arising out of or resulting from the other Party's action or failure to meet its obligations
under this Agreement on behalf of the indemnifying Party, except in cases of gross
negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the indemnified Party.

6.3.3 If an indemnified person is entitled to indemnification under this article as a
result of a claim by a third party, and the indemnifying Party fails, after notice and
reasonable opportunity to proceed under this article, to assume the defense of such claim,
such indemnified person may at the expense of the indemnifying Party contest, settle or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or pay in full, such claim. Failure to
defend is a Material Breach.

6.3.4 If an indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify and hold any indemnified
person harmless under this article, the amount owing to the indemnified person shall be
the amount of such indemnified person's actual loss, net of any insurance or other
recovery.

6.3.5 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified person of any claim or notice of
the commencement of any action or administrative or legal proceeding or investigation as
to which the indemnity provided for in this article may apply, the indemnified person shall
notify the indemnifying party of such fact. Any failure of or delay in such notification shall
be a Material Breach and shall not affect a Party's indemnification obligation unless such
failure or delay is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party.

6.4 Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure” or “an event of Force
Majeure” means any cause beyond the control of the Seller or of the Company which, despite the
exercise of due diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome. Force Majeure includes,
but is not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, storms, wars, hostilities, civil strife, strikes and other
labor disturbances, earthquakes, fires, lightning, epidemics, sabotage, or changes in law or
regulation occurring after the Operation Date, which, by the exercise of reasonable foresight such
party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by the exercise of due diligence, it
shall be unable to overcome. If either Party is rendered wholly or in part unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement because of an event of Force Majeure, both Parties shall be
excused from whatever performance is affected by the event of Force Majeure, provided that:

(1) The non-performing Party shall, as soon as is reasonably possible after the
occurrence of the Force Majeure, give the other Party written notice describing the
particulars of the occurrence.

6.5 Default and Material Breaches.

6.5.1 Defaults. If either Party fails to perform any of the terms or conditions of
this Agreement (a “Default” or an “Event of Default”), the nondefaulting Party shall cause
notice in writing to be given to the defaulting Party, specifying the manner in which such
default occurred. If the defaulting Party shall fail to cure such Default within the sixty (60)
days after service of such notice, or if the defaulting Party reasonably demonstrates to the
other Party that the Default can be cured within a commercially reasonable time but not
within such sixty (60) day period and then fails to diligently pursue such cure, then, the
nondefaulting Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and/or pursue its legal or
equitable remedies.

6.5.2 Material Breaches. The notice and cure provisions in Paragraph 6.6.1 do
not apply to Defaults identified in this Agreement as Material Breaches. Material Breaches
must be cured as expeditiously as possible following occurrence of the breach.

7. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall secure and continuously carry
the following insurance coverage:

7.1 Comprehensive General Liability Insurance for both bodily injury and property
damage with limits equal to $1,000,000, each occurrence, combined single limit. The deductible
for such insurance shall be consistent with current Insurance Industry Utility practices for similar
property.

7.2 The above insurance coverage shall be placed with an insurance company with
an A.M. Best Company rating of A- or better and shall include:

endorsements required therein, evidencing the coverage as set forth above.

7.4 Seller to Notify Idaho Power of Loss of Coverage. If the insurance coverage
required by Paragraph 7.1 shall lapse for any reason, Seller will immediately notify Idaho Power
in writing. The notice will advise Idaho Power of the specific reason for the lapse and the steps
Seller is taking to reinstate the coverage. Failure to provide this notice and to expeditiously

those Idaho Power furnished Interconnection Facilities as required under Schedule 72 and/or
described in this Agreement, less the cost of removal and transfer to Idaho Power's nearest
warehouse, if the Interconnection Facilities will be removed. If Seller elects not to obtain
ownership of the Interconnection Facilities but instead wishes that Idaho Power reimburse the
Seller for said Facilities the Seller may invoice Idaho Power for the net salvage value as estimated
by Idaho Power and Idaho Power shall pay such amount to Seller within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice. Seller shall have the right to offset the invoice amount against any present

DEFINITIONS

Basic Load Capacity (BLC) is the average of the two greatest non-zero monthly Billing Demands
established during the 12-month period which includes and ends with the current Billing Period.

Designated Meter is the retail meter physically connected to the Exporting System.

Distributed Energy Resource(s) (DER(s)) is a source of electric power that is not directly
connected to the bulk power system. Any combination of Generation Facilities and/or Energy Storage
Devices connected in Parallel is considered a DER.

Energy Storage Device is a device that captures energy produced at a point in time and stores
the energy for use as electricity at a future point in time. An Energy Storage Device is a DER.

Excess Net Energy means the positive difference between the kilowatt-hours (kWh) generated
by a Customer and the kWh supplied by the Company over the applicable Billing Period.

Exporting System is a Customer-owned DER under the terms of Schedules 6, 8, or 84, which is
designed to provide for the transfer of electric energy to the Company. An Exporting System is
interconnected to the Company’s system under the applicable terms of Schedule 68.

Generation Facility means all equipment used to generate electric energy where the resulting
energy is either delivered to the Company via a single meter at the Point of Delivery or Generation
Interconnection Point, or is consumed by the Customer.

Generation Interconnection Point is the point where the conductors installed to allow receipt of the
Customer’s generation connect to the Company’s facilities adjacent to the Customer’s Point of Delivery.

Grandfathered Status refers to the ability for a system to receive the compensation structure in
place on December 1, 2020. The compensation structure applicable to systems with a Grandfather
Status includes net monthly one-for-one kWh credit compensation for Excess Net Energy.

Interconnection Facilities are all facilities reasonably required by Prudent Electrical Practices and
the applicable electric and safety codes to interconnect and safely deliver energy from the Generation
Facility to the Point of Delivery or Generation Interconnection Point.

Point of Delivery is the retail metering point where the Company's and the Customer’s electrical
facilities are interconnected to allow the Customer to take retail electric service from the Company.

Prudent Electrical Practices are those practices, methods and equipment that are commonly used
in prudent electrical engineering and operations to operate electric equipment lawfully and with safety,
dependability, efficiency and economy.

Schedule 68 is the Company’s service schedule which provides for interconnection to customer
generation or its successor schedule(s) as approved by the Commission.

SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION REQUIREMENTS OF NON-EXPORTING
SYSTEMS
In addition to the requirements of Section 1, the following section is applicable to all Customer
Generators electing to establish their system as Non-Export.
NON-EXPORT TOTAL NAMEPLATE CAPACITY LIMIT
For customers taking service under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7 that own and/or operate a
Generation Facility, service is subject to an aggregate DER Total Nameplate Capacity of 25 kVA or less,
that is operated in Parallel with the Idaho Power System.
NON-EXPORT CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Non-Export Systems must incorporate one of the following three options:
a. Option 1: (“Advanced Functionality”): The use of an internal transfer relay, Energy
Management System, or other customer facility hardware or software system(s) may be used to
ensure power is never exported across the Interconnection Point. To ensure that Inadvertent
Export of power is limited to acceptable levels, all of the following conditions must be met: (a)
inverter-based DERs must utilize a Smart Inverter; (b) the DER must monitor the total Inadvertent
Export; (c) the DER must disconnect from the Company’s distribution system or halt energy
production within two seconds after the period of continuous Inadvertent Export exceeds 30
seconds; (d) the DER must enter a safe operating mode where Inadvertent Export will not occur
as a result of a failure of the control or Smart Inverter system for more than 30 seconds, which
results in loss of control signal, loss of control power or single component failure or related control
sensing of the control circuitry.
b. Option 2: (“Reverse Power Protection”): To ensure power is never exported, a
reverse power relay protective function must be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The
default setting for this Protection Equipment, when used, shall be 0.1% (export) of the DERs Total
Nameplate Capacity, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay.
c. Option 3: (“Minimum Power Protection”): To ensure at least a minimum amount of
power is imported at all times (and, therefore, that power is not exported), an under-power
protective function may be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The default setting for this
non-export control system, when used, shall be 5% (import) of the DERs Total Nameplate
Capacity, with a maximum two (2) second time delay.
2. Control System Failure: Where applicable, any failure of the Customer’s DER control
system for 30 seconds or more, which includes, but is not limited to; the internal transfer relay, energy
management system, or other Customer facility hardware or software system(s) intended to prevent the
reverse power flow, shall cause the Customer’s DER to enter a safe operating mode whereby the
production of energy from the Non-Export DER is autonomously limited to an amount that shall not cause
Inadvertent Export to occur until such time that the Customer has reestablished real power output control
of the non-export control system.

UNAUTHORIZED INADVERTENT EXPORT
Inadvertent Export exceeding three hours of the DER Total Nameplate Capacity in any 30-day
period will be defined as unauthorized Inadvertent Export, and the following steps will be followed for
Customers with Non-Exporting Systems:
1. The Company will notify the Non-Export Customer Generator that their Customer
Generator System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit.
2. After notification of Inadvertent Export, the following will occur:
a. For Schedule 1, Residential and Schedule 7, Small General Non-Exporting
Systems, the Customer Generator must rectify Inadvertent Export within 30 days after receipt of
the notification by Idaho Power that the Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent
Export limit. If the Customer Generator has not rectified Inadvertent Export after 30 days, at the
Customer’s election, one of the following actions will occur:
i. The Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open
position until the issue that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be
required before the Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system; or,
ii. If the Customer does not elect to open the disconnect, the Customer
Generator will be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, as appropriate, and subject to
applicable provisions of Section 2. If the Customer elects to be placed on Schedule 6 or
Schedule 8, the Customer will be given the option to submit an additional application and
be moved back to Schedule 1 or Schedule 7, as appropriate, after 180 days.
b. For Schedules other than Schedule 1 or Schedule 7:
i. Upon receipt of the notification by Idaho Power that the Customer
Generator’s Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit, the
Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open position until the issue
that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be required before the
Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system.
3. If it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Company, that unauthorized Inadvertent
Export results in damage to equipment on the Company’s system, the Customer Generator will be
responsible for all costs associated with replacing the Company’s damaged equipment and defend,
indemnify, and reimburse the Company for liabilities or damages incurred by the Company for third-party
claims arising out of the Customer Generator’s unauthorized Inadvertent Export.

SYSTEMS 3 MVA OR GREATER
In addition to Section 1 and 3, the following section is applicable to all Customers requesting
interconnection of Non-Exporting Systems with Total Nameplate Capacity of 3 MVA or greater.
CUSTOMER GENERATOR INTERCONNECTION PROCESS
1. Customer Generator shall pay the actual costs of all required interconnection studies. Any
difference between the deposit (if required) and the actual cost of the study shall be paid by or refunded
to Customer Generator, as appropriate. If, during the course of preparing a study, the Company incurs
costs in excess of the deposit amount, the Company may require that the deposit amount be replenished
in an amount equal to the estimated costs for completion of the study. If a deposit amount sufficient to
pay for completion of the study is not maintained, the Company may suspend work on the study.
2. Unless modified by the provisions of this schedule, the FERC-approved Large Generator
Interconnection Procedures and Small Generator Interconnection Procedures posted on the Company’s
website will apply to the Customer Generator Interconnection Process.
3. Application. The Customer Generator will submit a completed interconnection application
in the form posted on the Company’s website. The application form includes a general description of the
DER and its location. The application includes payment of an application fee to be applied against costs
the Company incurs to perform the Feasibility Study described below. The amount of the application fee
is $1,000.
4. Study Agreements. Subsequent to the Customer Generator submitting an Application,
the Customer Generator will be offered a series of study agreements. The individual study
agreements establish the time to perform the study, and the deposit the Customer Generator is to provide
prior to commencement of the study. The studies consist of:
a. The Feasibility Study: The Feasibility Study is intended to ensure that the
Company’s system is sufficiently equipped to incorporate proposed DER in a manner that
conforms with good utility practices and the National Electric Safety Code. The Feasibility Study
Agreement states that no deposit is required because the application fee covers the deposit.
b. The System Impact Study: For higher complexity projects, the System Impact
Study provides a detailed assessment of the distribution and/or transmission system adequacy to
accommodate the DER through the evaluation of equipment capabilities and electrical
performance requirements. This step may not be necessary for some projects depending on the
size and location of the project. The System Impact Study Agreement includes a deposit of
$2,000 for a distribution system impact study or a $10,000 deposit for a transmission system
impact study.

d. If the Seller-Furnished Facilities meet the Company's design, material and
construction specifications, are free from defects in materials and workmanship, and the Seller
has provided the Company with acceptable easements, bills of sale and assurance against labor
or materials liens, the Company will accept ownership effective as of the First Energy Date. In
the bill of sale, the Seller will warrant to the Company that the Seller-Furnished Facilities are free
of any liens or encumbrances and will be free from any defects in materials and workmanship for
a period of one year from the First Energy Date.
2. Subsequent Transfer. If, after the First Energy Date, the Seller desires to transfer and the
Company desires to accept any Seller-Furnished Facilities, the following will apply:
a. The Company will inspect the facilities proposed for sale to determine if they meet
the Company's design, material and construction specifications.
b. The Company will determine the Transfer Cost of such facilities. The Transfer
Cost will be equal to the depreciated Construction Cost the Company would have incurred if it
had originally constructed the facilities plus the cost, if any, of bringing the facilities into
compliance with the Company's design, material and construction specifications. Depreciation of
the facilities proposed for transfer will be determined on the same basis as the Company
depreciates its own facilities in accordance with the appropriate FERC account numbers for the
type and size of line or equipment involved. The time period used for the calculation of the
depreciated transfer cost will extend from the First Energy Date until the agreed upon transfer
date. The Transfer Cost will be paid to the Company in cash at the time of transfer. At the same
time, the Company will pay the Seller in cash an amount equal to the depreciated Construction
Cost.
c. As a condition of the Company's acceptance, the Seller will provide the Company
with acceptable easements, bills of sale and acceptable assurance against labor and material
liens. The bill of sale will include a warranty that the transferred facilities are free of all liens and
encumbrances and will be free from any defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one
year from the date of transfer.
d. Effective as of the date of the transfer, the Company will operate and maintain the
transferred facilities.
VESTED INTEREST
A Seller's eligibility for a Vested Interest refund will exist for 5 years after the date the Company
completes construction of its portion of the Interconnection Facilities.

VESTED INTEREST (Continued)
1. The Company will provide a refund payment to each Seller holding a Vested Interest in
Company-owned Interconnection Facilities when an Additional Applicant shares use of those
Interconnection Facilities.
2. The refund payment will be based on the following formula:
Linear Connected Original
Refund = Footage x Load/Peak Generation x Interconnection
Ratio Ratio Cost
a. The Linear Footage Ratio is the length of jointly used Special Facilities divided by
the length of the vested Special Facilities.
b. The Connected Load/Peak Generation Ratio is the Connected Load or Peak
Generation of the Additional Applicant divided by the sum of the Connected Load or Peak
Generation of the Additional Applicant and all other Connected Loads and/or Peak Generation on
the Special Facilities.
c. The Original Interconnection Cost is the sum of the Company's Construction Cost
and any Transfer Costs for the Interconnection Facilities to which the Additional Applicant intends
to connect and share usage.
3. The Additional Applicant will pay the Company the amount of the Vested Interest
refund(s). Additional Applicants making Vested Interest payments are in turn eligible to receive refunds
within the 5 year limit described above.
4. Vested Interest refunds will not exceed 100 percent of the refundable portion of any party's
cash payment to the Company.
5. Vested Interest refund payments may be waived by notifying the Company in writing.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS AND EXPENSES
The Company will operate and maintain Company furnished Interconnection Facilities, as well as
any Seller-Furnished Facilities transferred to the Company. For all projects not interconnecting as a
Schedule 6, Schedule 8, or Schedule 84 customer, the Seller will pay the Company a monthly operation
and maintenance charge equal to a percentage of the Construction Cost and Transfer Cost paid by the
Seller. The percentage will change annually on the anniversary of the First Energy Date in accordance
with the following tables:

5.3 Temporary Disconnection. Temporary disconnection shall continue only for so
long as reasonably necessary under “Good Utility Practice.” Good Utility Practice means any of
the practices, methods and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electric
industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods and acts which, in the
exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known at the time the decision was made,
could have been expected to accomplish the desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with
good business practices, reliability, safety and expedition. Good Utility Practice is not intended
to be limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of all others, but rather to be
acceptable practices, methods, or acts generally accepted in the region. Good Utility Practice
includes compliance with WECC or NERC requirements. Payment of lost revenue resulting from
temporary disconnection shall be governed by the power purchase agreement.
5.3.1 Emergency Conditions. "Emergency Condition" means a condition or
situation: (1) that in the judgment of the Party making the claim is imminently likely to
endanger life or property; or (2) that, in the case of the Company, is imminently likely (as
determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the
security of, or damage to the Company’s transmission/distribution system, the Company’s
Interconnection Facilities or the equipment of the Company’s customers; or (3) that, in the
case of the Seller, is imminently likely (as determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to
cause a material adverse effect on the reliability and security of, or damage to, the
Generation Facility or the Seller’s Interconnection Facilities. Under Emergency
Conditions, either the Company or the Seller may immediately suspend interconnection
service and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility. The Company shall notify the
Seller promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency Condition that may reasonably
be expected to affect the Seller’s operation of the Generation Facility. The Seller shall
notify the Company promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency Condition that may
reasonably be expected to affect the Company’s equipment or service to the Company’s
customers. To the extent information is known, the notification shall describe the
Emergency Condition, the extent of the damage or deficiency, the expected effect on the
operation of both Parties' facilities and operations, its anticipated duration, and the
necessary corrective action.

interrupt interconnection service or curtail the output of the Seller’s Generation Facility and
temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility from the Company’s
transmission/distribution system when necessary for routine maintenance, construction,
and repairs on the Company’s transmission/distribution system. The Company will make
a reasonable attempt to contact the Seller prior to exercising its rights to interrupt
interconnection or curtail deliveries from the Seller’s Facility. Seller understands that in
the case of emergency circumstances, real time operations of the electrical system, and/or
unplanned events, the Company may not be able to provide notice to the Seller prior to
interruption, curtailment or reduction of electrical energy deliveries to the Company. The
Company shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such reduction or temporary
disconnection with the Seller.
5.3.3 Scheduled Maintenance. On or before January 31 of each calendar year,
Seller shall submit a written proposed maintenance schedule of significant Facility
maintenance for that calendar year and the Company and Seller shall mutually agree as
to the acceptability of the proposed schedule. The Parties determination as to the
acceptability of the Seller’s timetable for scheduled maintenance will take into
consideration Good Utility Practices, Idaho Power system requirements and the Seller’s
preferred schedule. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold acceptance of the proposed
maintenance schedule.
5.3.4. Maintenance Coordination. The Seller and the Company shall, to the
extent practical, coordinate their respective transmission/distribution system and
Generation Facility maintenance schedules such that they occur simultaneously. Seller
shall provide and maintain adequate protective equipment sufficient to prevent damage to
the Generation Facility and Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities. In some cases,
some of Seller’s protective relays will provide back-up protection for Idaho Power’s
facilities. In that event, Idaho Power will test such relays annually and Seller will pay the
actual cost of such annual testing.

the Seller with prior notice. If prior notice is not given, the Company shall, upon request,
provide the Seller written documentation after the fact explaining the circumstances of the
disconnection.
5.3.6 Adverse Operating Effects. The Company shall notify the Seller as soon
as practicable if, based on Good Utility Practice, operation of the Seller’s Generation
Facility may cause disruption or deterioration of service to other customers served from
the same electric system, or if operating the Generation Facility could cause damage to
the Company’s transmission/distribution system or other affected systems. Supporting
documentation used to reach the decision to disconnect shall be provided to the Seller
upon request. If, after notice, the Seller fails to remedy the adverse operating effect within
a reasonable time, the Company may disconnect the Generation Facility. The Company
shall provide the Seller with reasonable notice of such disconnection, unless the
provisions of Article 5.3.1 apply.
5.3.7 Modification of the Generation Facility. The Seller must receive written
authorization from the Company before making any change to the Generation Facility that
may have a material impact on the safety or reliability of the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Modifications shall be done in accordance with Good Utility Practice. If the Seller makes
such modification without the Company’s prior written authorization, the latter shall have
the right to temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility.
5.3.8 Reconnection. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to restore the
Generation Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the Company’s
transmission/distribution system to their normal operating state as soon as reasonably
practicable following a temporary disconnection.

Idaho Power may, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, upon one hundred eighty
(180) days' notice to the Seller, change its nominal operating voltage level by more than
ten percent (10%) at the Point of Delivery, in which case Seller shall modify, at Idaho
Power's expense, Seller's equipment as necessary to accommodate the modified nominal
operating voltage level.
5.4 Land Rights.
5.4.1 Seller to Provide Access. Seller hereby grants to Idaho Power for the term
of this Agreement all necessary rights-of-way and easements to install, operate, maintain,
replace, and remove Idaho Power's Metering Equipment, Interconnection Equipment,
Disconnection Equipment, Protection Equipment and other Special Facilities necessary or
useful to this Agreement, including adequate and continuing access rights on property of

receive from any local, state or federal governmental body the right to erect, construct and
maintain Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities upon, along and over any and all public
roads, streets and highways, then the use by Seller of such public right-of-way shall be
subordinate to any future use by Idaho Power of such public right-of-way for construction
and/or maintenance of electric distribution and transmission facilities and Idaho Power
may claim use of such public right-of-way for such purposes at any time. Except as
required by Paragraph 5.4.4, Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for
exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.2.

Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for exercising its rights under this
Paragraph 5.4.3.
5.4.4 Conditions of Use. It is the intention of the Parties that the Seller be left in
substantially the same condition, both financially and electrically, as Seller existed prior to
Idaho Power's exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4. Therefore, the Parties agree
that the exercise by Idaho Power of any of the rights enumerated in Paragraphs 5.4.2 and
5.4.3 shall: (1) comply with all applicable laws, codes and Good Utility Practices, (2)
equitably share the costs of installing, owning and operating jointly used facilities and
rights-of-way. If the Parties are unable to agree on the method of apportioning these
costs, the dispute will be submitted to the Commission for resolution and the decision of
the Commission will be binding on the Parties, and (3) shall provide Seller with an
interconnection to Idaho Power's system of equal capacity and durability as existed prior
to Idaho Power exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.

the same financial, credit, and insurance obligations as the Seller. Where required,
consent to assignment will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6.2 Limitation of Liability. Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost,
claim, injury, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from
any act or omission in its performance of this Agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct
damage actually incurred. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for any indirect,
special, consequential, or punitive damages, except as authorized by this Agreement.
6.3 Indemnity.
6.3.1 This provision protects each Party from liability incurred to third parties as
a result of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement. Liability under this provision is
exempt from the general limitations on liability found in Article 6.2.

harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions relating
to injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, suits, recoveries, costs
and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties,
arising out of or resulting from the other Party's action or failure to meet its obligations
under this Agreement on behalf of the indemnifying Party, except in cases of gross

6.3.3 If an indemnified person is entitled to indemnification under this article as a
result of a claim by a third party, and the indemnifying Party fails, after notice and
reasonable opportunity to proceed under this article, to assume the defense of such claim,
such indemnified person may at the expense of the indemnifying Party contest, settle or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or pay in full, such claim. Failure to
defend is a Material Breach.
6.3.4 If an indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify and hold any indemnified
person harmless under this article, the amount owing to the indemnified person shall be
the amount of such indemnified person's actual loss, net of any insurance or other
recovery.
6.3.5 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified person of any claim or notice of
the commencement of any action or administrative or legal proceeding or investigation as
to which the indemnity provided for in this article may apply, the indemnified person shall
notify the indemnifying party of such fact. Any failure of or delay in such notification shall
be a Material Breach and shall not affect a Party's indemnification obligation unless such
failure or delay is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party.
6.4 Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure” or “an event of Force
Majeure” means any cause beyond the control of the Seller or of the Company which, despite the

party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by the exercise of due diligence, it
shall be unable to overcome. If either Party is rendered wholly or in part unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement because of an event of Force Majeure, both Parties shall be
excused from whatever performance is affected by the event of Force Majeure, provided that:
(1) The non-performing Party shall, as soon as is reasonably possible after the
occurrence of the Force Majeure, give the other Party written notice describing the
particulars of the occurrence.

DEFINITIONS
Basic Load Capacity (BLC) is the average of the two greatest non-zero monthly Billing Demands
established during the 12-month period which includes and ends with the current Billing Period.
Designated Meter is the retail meter physically connected to the Net Metering Exporting System.
Distributed Energy Resource(s) (DER(s)) is a source of electric power that is not directly
connected to the bulk power system. Any combination of Generation Facilities and/or Energy Storage
Devices connected in Parallel is considered a DER.
Energy Storage Device is a device that captures energy produced at a point in time and stores
the energy for use as electricity at a future point in time. An Energy Storage Device is a DER.
Excess Net Energy means the positive difference between the kilowatt-hours (kWh) generated
by a Customer and the kWh supplied by the Company over the applicable Billing Period.
Exporting System is a Customer-owned DER under the terms of Schedules 6, 8, or 84, which is
designed to provide for the transfer of electric energy to the Company. An Exporting System is
interconnected to the Company’s system under the applicable terms of Schedule 68.
Generation Facility means all equipment used to generate electric energy where the resulting
energy is either delivered to the Company via a single meter at the Point of Delivery or Generation
Interconnection Point, or is consumed by the Customer.
Generation Interconnection Point is the point where the conductors installed to allow receipt of the
Customer’s generation connect to the Company’s facilities adjacent to the Customer’s Point of Delivery.
Grandfathered Status refers to the ability for a system to receive the compensation structure in
place on December 1, 2020. The compensation structure applicable to systems with a Grandfather
Status includes net monthly one-for-one kWh credit compensation for Excess Net Energy.
Interconnection Facilities are all facilities reasonably required by Prudent Electrical Practices and
the applicable electric and safety codes to interconnect and safely deliver energy from the Generation
Facility to the Point of Delivery or Generation Interconnection Point.
Net Metering Service is the Company’s service that provides for transfer of electric
energy to the Company by means of a net metering arrangement under the terms of Schedule 84 or its
successor schedule(s) as approved by the Commission. This optional service provides for Customers
to install Generation Facilities to interconnect to the Company’s system to offset all or a portion of their
electrical usage. This service is comprised of all Customers taking service under Schedule 84.
Net Metering System is a Customer-owned Generation Facility interconnected to the
Company’s system under the applicable terms of Schedule 72 and Schedule 84.
