CONDITIONS AND DEFINITIONS (a) Contracts -- Before building an Extension, the Company may require the Applicant to sign a contract. Where a tenant occupies the service location, the Company may require the property owner to sign the contract. (b) Contract Minimum Billing -- The Contract Minimum Billing is the greater of: (1) the Customer's monthly bill; or (2) 80% of the Customer's monthly bill plus the Facilities Charges. Customers on a seasonal rate receive an annual Contract Minimum Billing of the greater of (1) the Customer's annual bill; or (2) 80% of the Customer's annual bill plus the Annual Facilities Charge. The Annual Facilities Charge is twelve (12) times the Facilities Charges. Any Contracted Minimum Billings shall begin upon the date service is first delivered or 30 days after the completion of the extension whichever occurs first, as determined by the Company, unless a later date is mutually agreed upon. Subsequent Customers shall also pay the Contract Minimum Billing as specified in Regulation 3. (c) Engineering Costs -- The Company includes designing, engineering and estimating in its Extension Costs. The Company will provide these services at no charge unless, in the Company’s judgment, it determines the extension is large, complex or speculative. For large, complex or speculative Extensions, the Applicant or Customer must advance the Company’s estimated Engineering Costs, but not less than the minimum specified in Schedule 300. The Company will apply this advance payment to its Extension Costs. If the Extension Allowance exceeds the Extension Costs, the Company will refund the excess up to the amount of the Applicant’s or Customer’s advance.

The contract will require the Applicant to advance the estimated cost of facilities in excess of the Extension Allowance. As long as the Applicant meets the definition of Remote Service they shall also pay a Contract Minimum Billing. Primary residences with revenues equal to or greater than average residential revenues will no longer be considered Remote when the density of such residences exceeds one residence per one-half mile of line. Facilities Charges will cease when Customers are no longer considered Remote. The Contract Minimum Billing will not include Facilities Charges on the first one- half mile of line from the Company’s existing distribution facilities. Where there are groups of remote facilities only the first one-half mile is exempt from Facilities Charges. After the initial five (5) year contract period, Remote service Contract Minimum Billings also end upon termination of electric serve to the Customer’s premises and Customer payment of all removal costs for inactive facilities. (3) Additional Customers, Advances and Refunds The initial Customer that pays an advance for a portion of the construction of an Extension may receive refunds if additional Applicants connect to the Extension. The Customer is eligible for refunds during the first five (5) years following construction of the Extension for up to four (4) additional Applicants as given in section 1(k) Refunds.

(2) The facility upgrade shall be treated as a system improvement and not be charged to the Customer if the Customer’s demand does not exceed 25 kVA and the facilities are shared by two (2) or more customers. Upgrades and modifications to correct service quality issues are done at the expense of the Customer causing the service quality issue.

The Company shall not be required to make Extensions to areas where there is not reasonable assurance of actual Applicants for service within five (5) years. (b) Allowances and Advances For residential developments the Company will provide the Developer an Extension Allowance of $1000 for each lot to which secondary voltage service is made available. If, due to lot size or other constraints, the Company determines the voltage drop on future service runs is likely to exceed that allowed, transformers and secondary will not be installed, and no allowance granted to the developer for those lots. The Developer must pay an advance for all costs in excess of the allowance. Service to dwellings on the lots will be provided under the provision of section 2. Residential Extensions. For nonresidential developments the Developer must pay an advance of the Company’s estimated installed costs to provide primary voltage connection points to each lot.

(c) Refunds The Company will make no refunds on Developer advances for facilities installed within a development for the exclusive purpose of serving the development. If the Company has upsized distribution facilities within the development beyond what was necessary to serve customers within the development, so an Applicant adjacent to the development can take service, a refund is due to the developer. A Developer may receive refunds on an extension to the development if Applicants outside the development connect to that line. A Developer may also receive refunds for a primary voltage line installed alongside, in, or through the development for the purpose of future use, if Applicants outside the development connect to that line. The Developer is eligible for refunds during the first five (5) years following construction of the Extension for up to four (4) additional Applicants as given in section 1(k) Refunds. Each of these Applicants, for which a refund was not waived, must pay the Company prior to connection, 20% of the Developer’s advance for the shared facilities. The Company will refund such payments to the Developer. For facilities that a Developer pays a portion of based on the ratio of their new load to the available capacity, and the Company pays the remainder, there are no refunds.

When the Applicant has completed construction, the Company will determine its actual costs and may adjust that portion of the Applicant's advance. If the actual costs exceed the Applicant's advance, the Applicant must pay the difference before the Company will accept and energize the Line Extension. If the actual costs are less than the Applicant’s advance, the Company will refund the difference. The Company will estimate the frequency of inspections and convey this to the Applicant prior to the signing of the contract. For underground Line Extensions, the Company may require that an inspector be present whenever installation work is done.

The Company will then reimburse the Applicant for the construction costs covered by the Extension Allowance, less the cost of any Company provided equipment or services, but in no case more than the Line Extension Value. (b) Duplicate Service Facilities The Company will furnish Duplicate Service Facilities if the Customer advances the estimated costs for facilities in excess of those which the Company would otherwise provide.

The Applicant shall also pay a Contract Minimum Billing as long as service is taken but in no case less than five (5) years. The Company reserves the right, should the effect of load fluctuations become in the Company's sole judgment a detriment to service to other Customers, to provide or require the Customer to provide corrective facilities. Where the Company provides such facilities the Customer shall pay the cost of all such facilities plus the associated Contract Minimum Billing. (e) Temporary Service (1) For Temporary Service requests requiring only a service loop connection and where there are 120/240 volt facilities of adequate capacity available, the Customer shall pay the connect and disconnect charge specified in Schedule 300.
