SCHEDULE 23
IRRIGATION PEAK REWARDS PROGRAM
(OPTIONAL)
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, August, and
September 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 maintain 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). 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 September 15
(Program Season). The Company will utilize dispatchable 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 Manual Dispatch Option). 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, August, and September for each Metered Service Point
enrolled in the Program.
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.
Load Control Event. Refers to an event under the Program where the Company requests or calls
for interruption of specific irrigation pumps either manually or with the use of one or more Load Control
Devices.
Program Season. The Program Season is the period June 15 through September 15 of each
year.
Program kW. The Program kW is the demand amount, as measured at the Customer’s meter in
kilowatts (kW) associated with the applicable billing period, that is multiplied by the applicable incentive
amount to determine the Demand Credit under the Automatic Dispatch Interruption Option. Under the
Manual Dispatch Interruption Option, the Program kW will be based upon the maximum measured
interval kW during the 24-hour period preceding 8:00 A.M. MDT the day of the announcement of a Load
Control Event, minus the average interval kW during an event.
Nominated Demand. Nominated Demand is the amount of demand that participants under the
Manual Dispatch Option must declare as planned to be available during Load Control Events.
Program kWh. The Program kWh is the energy amount, as measured at the Customer’s meter
in kilowatt-hours (kWh) associated with the applicable billing period, 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 for the associated
billing period, as measured at the Customer’s meter in kilowatts (kW) multiplied by the hours of
interruption for the Metered Service Point for each Load Control Event. 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 = Program kW x hours of interruption for each Load Control Event
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, August, and
September of each calendar year. This amount may be prorated for the number of days during the
months of June, July, August, and September 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, August, and September of
each year. This amount may be prorated for the number of days during the months of June, July, August,
and September that fall in the Customer’s billing cycle to correspond with the Program Season.
Demand Credit = Program kW x demand-related incentive amount

DEFINITIONS (Continued)
Energy Credit. The Energy Credit is an energy-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 Energy
Credit is calculated by multiplying the Program kWh by the energy-related incentive amount for the
Interruption Option selected by the Customer. Customers identified to have an out-of-demand season
billing cycle will receive only an out-of-demand season energy credit for the applicable billing period. The
Energy Credit will be included on the Customer’s monthly bills for usage that occurs during the calendar
months of June, July, August, and September of each year. This amount may be prorated for the number
of days during the months of June, July, August, and September 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 70
days after the Program Season. The Variable Energy Credit does not apply to the first four Load Control
Events.
Variable Energy Credit = Variable Program kWh x variable energy-related incentive amount
INTERRUPTION OPTIONS
Under the Interruption Options, the Company will dispatch remotely service interruptions to
specified irrigation pumps any Monday through Saturday during the Program Season between the hours
of 3:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), excluding holidays (Standard Interruption).
Customers may elect to participate until 11:00 P.M. MDT (Extended Interruption) and will receive a larger
Variable Energy Credit. Service interruptions may last up to 4 hours per day and will not exceed 16 hours
per calendar week and 60 hours per Program Season. During each Program Season the Company will
conduct a minimum of three Load Control Events. Customers participating in the Automatic Dispatch
Option may not receive advance notification of a Load Control Event, but will be notified after the Load
Control Event begins. Customers participating in the Manual Dispatch Option will receive advance
notification at least 4 hours prior to a Load Control Event. The Company will provide notice of a Load
Control Event via the following communication technologies: telephone, e-mail and/or text message. If
prior notice of a pending Load Control Event has been sent, the Company may choose to revoke the
Load Control Event and will provide notice to Customers up to 30 minutes prior to the Load Control Event.
Customers who elect to participate in the Program may be eligible for one of the following

will provide the Company the ability to send a signal that will interrupt operation or not allow the
associated irrigation pumps to operate during dispatched Load Control Events. This option
requires that all pumps at the Metered Service Point be controlled.
Under the Automatic Dispatch Option, the Program kW will be based upon the
monthly Billing Demand, as measured in kW, for the associated Billing Period. The Program kWh
under this option will be based upon the monthly energy usage, as measured in kWh, for the
associated Billing Period.
Each time a customer chooses to opt-out of one of the Load Control Events a fee
of $6.25 per kW will be assessed based upon the current Billing Period’s kW. The opt-out fee will
not exceed the total Bill Credit for the Program Season. Any opt-out fee will be applied at the end
of the Program Season or after the applicable billing cycle closes. Opt-out fees may be waived
for circumstances involving planned or unplanned outages of 3 hours or more occurring within 24
hours of a Load Control Event or a multiday outage within 72 hours of an event. At its discretion,
the Company may assess an opt-out fee should it be determined the participant overrode the
command to the dispatch device thereby allowing the pump to run during the load control event.
Manual Dispatch Option. Customers are eligible to manually control Metered Service Points
of at least 1,000 cumulative HP, or Metered Service Points that have been determined by the
Company to be limited by load control device communication technology or installation
configuration. Under the Manual Dispatch Option, eligible Customers have the flexibility to
choose which irrigation pumps at a Metered Service Point will be interrupted during each
dispatched Load Control Event. Customers electing this option must notify the Company of their
Nominated Demand during the enrollment period prior to June 1 of each year.
Customers participating in the Manual Dispatch Option 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 one of the Load Control Events, an
opt-out fee of $6.25 per kW will be assessed on the Nominated Demand not made available for
interruption. The opt-out fee will not exceed the total Bill Credit for the Program Season. Any
opt-out fee will be applied at the end of the Program Season or after the applicable billing cycle
closes. Opt-out fees may be waived for circumstances involving planned or unplanned outages
of 3 hours or more occurring within 24 hours of a Load Control Event or a multiday outage within
72 hours of an event.

INTERRUPTION OPTIONS (Continued)
Under the Manual Dispatch Option, the Program kW will be based upon the
maximum measured interval demand during the 24-hour period preceding 8:00 A.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.
INCENTIVE STRUCTURE
Incentive payments under the Interruption Options will be determined based on a fixed payment
and a variable payment. The fixed portion of the incentive payment will be paid through a Bill Credit and
the variable portion will be paid by check no more than 70 days after the end of the Program Season.
The first four Load Control Events will not be subject to the Variable Energy Credit. The variable payment
will be based on the number of hours a participant’s pump is interrupted during the Program Season and
their associated Program kW after the first four Load Control Events.
INSTALLATION FEES
An Installation Fee of $500 will be required for any new participating Metered Service Point with
measured horsepower of 30 or less. The Installation Fee is non-refundable except when a Customer
elects early termination and prior to the installation of a load control device at their pump location.
TERM OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
The term of the Agreement, as it applies to each Metered Service Point accepted for participation,
shall commence on the date the Agreement is signed by both the Customer and the Company and shall
automatically renew on March 15 of each calendar year unless notice of termination is given by either
party to the other prior to the annual renewal date or unless otherwise terminated as follows:
1. A Customer may terminate the participation of a Metered Service Point and avoid the Termination
Fee by notifying the Company or its representative before the Program Season.

FLEX PEAK
PROGRAM
(OPTIONAL)
PURPOSE
The Flex Peak Program (the Program) is a voluntary program that motivates Participants to
reduce their load during Company initiated demand response events. A participating Customer will be
eligible to receive a financial incentive in exchange for being available to reduce their load during the
calendar months of June, July, August, and September.
AVAILABILITY
The Program is available to Commercial and Industrial Customers receiving service under
Schedules 9, 19, or a Special Contract Schedule.
The Company shall have the right to accept 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, total Program capacity, a Facility Site location, or amount of
capacity provided at a Facility Site.
To participate in the Program, a Customer must sign and return the Program Application and
worksheet provided by the Company specifying the Facility Site(s) to be enrolled in the Program. To
enroll in the Program, Customers must be capable of providing a minimum load reduction of 20 kW per
Facility Site or an aggregate reduction of 35 kW if participating under the Aggregated Option. If a Facility
Site is accepted for participation in the Program, a Notification of Program Acceptance will be mailed to
the Participant within 10 business days of the Company receiving the Program Application. Notification
of Program Acceptance will include a listing of the Facility Sites that have been enrolled.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Company will initiate Program Events for a maximum of 60 hours during June, July, August,
and September. During Program Events, Participants will be expected to reduce load at their Facility
Site(s). Participants will be eligible to receive a financial incentive in exchange for their reduction in load.
DEFINITIONS
Actual kW Reduction. The kilowatt (kW) reduction during a Program Event, which is the difference
between a Participant’s hourly average kW measured at the Facility Site’s meter and the corresponding
hour of the Adjusted Baseline kW.
Adjusted Baseline kW. The Original Baseline kW plus or minus the “Day of” Load Adjustment
amount.
Aggregated Option. Multiple Facility Sites belonging to a single Participant that are grouped
together per the customer’s request with a single Nominated kW for participation in the Program. Under
this option, the Company will sum the individual performance data from each enrolled Facility Site before
calculating any incentive amounts.

Independence Day falls on Sunday, the following Monday will be designated the holiday.
“Day of” Load Adjustment. The difference between the Original Baseline kW and the actual
metered kW during the hour prior to the Participant receiving notification of an event. Scalar values will
be calculated by dividing the Original Baseline kW for each Program Event hour by the Baseline kW of
the hour preceding the event notification time. The scalars are multiplied by the actual event day kW for
the hour preceding the event notification time to create the Adjusted Baseline kW from which load
reduction is measured. The Adjusted Baseline kW for each hour cannot exceed the maximum kW amount
for any hour from the Highest Energy Use Days or the hours during the event day prior to event
notification.
Event Availability Time. Between 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) each
Business Day.
Facility Site(s). All or any part of a Participant’s facility or equipment that is metered from a single
service location that a Participant has enrolled in the Program. For those Participants who have enrolled
under the Aggregated Option, Facility Site will refer to the combination of individual Facility Sites selected
for inclusion under the Aggregated Option.
Fixed Capacity Payment. The Weekly Effective kW Reduction multiplied by the Fixed Capacity
Payment rate (as described in the Incentive Structure section). Participants are paid based on the
average event kilowatt reduction.
Highest Energy Usage Days. The three days out of the immediate past 10 non-event Business
Days that have the highest sum total kW as measured across the Event Availability Time.
Hours of Event. The timeframe when the Program Event is called and Nominated kW is expected
to be reduced. The Hours of Event will not be less than two hours and will not exceed four hours.
Nominated kW. The amount of load expressed in kW that a Facility Site commits to reduce during
a Program Event.
Nominated kW Incentive Adjustment. An adjustment made when a Facility Site does not achieve
its Nominated kW for a given hour during a Program Event. The adjustment will be made for each hour
the Nominated kW is not achieved. The total Nominated kW Incentive Adjustment will not exceed the
total incentive amount for the Program Season (as described in the Incentive Structure section).
