Witness· F Robert Stewart
This is a housekeeping addition. These provisions are in the tariff for
>1,000 kVA customers who take delivery at the local distribution voltage,
and are in all contracts for >l,000 kVA customers, at any voltage.
The allowance is calculated from embedded cost of facilities. The
proposed updated allowance is 0.75 of the estimated annual revenue, i.e.
nine months of revenue. At a 40% load factor this is approximately 2.5
times the old allowance of $90/kW.
The single item in the line extension tariff that differentiates between
remote and non-remote is the contract minimum billing continues as long
as service is taken. Since that is the normal case for >1,000 kVA
customers, moved the remote provision from 3(b)(3) to <1000 kVA
customers, which is the section where remote is different than non-
remote.
The allowance is calculated from embedded cost of the facilities. The
proposed updated allowance is 0.75 of the estimated annual revenue, i.e.
nine months of revenue. At a 40% load factor this is approximately 2.5
times the old allowance of $90/kW.
Originally section 3(b)(3) addressed remote service, but was moved to
section 3(b)(l) as addressed in the Explanation to that section.
This new section puts into writing the practice that the allowance for
added load is based on the incremental increase in revenue. This aligns
with new load allowances being based on the revenue from the new load.
This new wording makes it clear a customer does not receive refunds
when they have only paid for their proportional share of an Extension.
Without this clarification a customer could claim the tariff entitles them
to a refund.
Section l(k) is a new definition, adding conditions and a definition of
refunds. It addresses the right to waive refunds in order to retain the
right to refunds of greater value.

Witness· F Robert Stewart
Improved wording. The old language stating "in the same manner" was
obscure.
Customers must contract for the demand they plan to use. Since the
precise amount is only known through experience the contracted amount
is almost always in excess of the actual need, and sometimes well in
excess. Where the obligation to supply demand does not adjust to actual
demand, Company lines and substations become underutilized and/or
over committed. Underutilization is an inefficient use of capital resources
and leads to higher rates. Over commitment creates exposure where
customers, without notice to RMP, can create an overload situation and
equipment failures due to overloading.
Regulation 12, Section 4, Extensions to Non-Residential and Residential Planned Developments
4(a) General
Wording changes. All of section 4 has been extensively re-worded for clarification.

Extensive changes to clarify when and for what facilities a developer is
eligible for a refund.
If a customer only pays for a portion of the costs, based on the ratio of
the customer's load to the available capacity, with the Company paying
the remainder, any additional customers attaching will be using capacity
paid for by the Company, thus the customer paying just their portion of
the cost is not eligible for a refund.
Added reference to overhead to underground conversions, pointing out if
conversions are required the developer is responsible for these costs too.
Clarified that "Developer must provide" means "at their expense".

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.

extension allowance; or the Extension Cost. The Extension Allowance does not include
costs resulting from: additional voltages; duplicate facilities; additional points of delivery;
or any other Applicant requested facilities that add to, or substitute for, the Company's
standard construction methods or preferred route. An Extension Allowance will be
provided only if the Company has reasonable assurance as to the permanent continuation of
required revenue. The Extension Allowance is not available to customers receiving electric
service under special pricing contracts.
(t) Extension Costs --Extension Costs are the Company's total costs for constructing an
Extension using the Company's standard construction methods, including services,
transformers and meters, labor, materials and overheads.
(g) Extension Limits --The provisions of this regulation apply to Line Extensions that require
standard construction and will produce sufficient revenues to cover the ongoing costs
associated with them. The Company will construct Line Extensions with special
requirements or limited revenues under the terms of special contracts.

according to the terms of a written contract. 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 l(k) Refunds. Each of these four (4) Applicants utilizing any portion of the
initial extension, for which a refund was not waived, must pay the Company, prior
to connection, 20% of the cost of shared facilities. The Company will refund such
payments to the initial Customer.
Additional Applicants who pay an advance that is refunded to a Remote Service
Customer are also responsible for the Facilities Charges, if any, associated with the
facilities for which the refund was made. They must also pay the estimated cost of
facilities for their extension exceeding their Extension Allowance and are
responsible for the Facilities Charges on their extension in accordance with Rule

(f) Other Requirements
When the Extension is to property that is not part of an improved development, the
Company may require the Applicant to pay for the line Extension within or along side
Applicant's property as part of installing a loop feed or to provide for future development.
(g) Street Lighting
The Extension Allowance to street lights taking service under Rate Schedule 11 or 12 is
equal to five times the annual revenue from the lights to be added. The Applicant must
provide a non-refundable advance for costs exceeding the Extension Allowance prior to the
lights being added. Facilities charges and Contract Minimum Billings do not apply to street
lighting.
4. EXTENSIONS TO NON-RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PLANNED
DEVELOPMENTS
(a) General
Planned developments, including subdivisions, commercial parks and industrial parks, are
areas where groups of dwellings or buildings are planned to be constructed at or about the
same time. The Company will install facilities in planned developments, for which a
recorded plat has been provided, before there are actual Applicants for service under the
terms of a written contract. 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. Service to
the buildings will be provided from the primary voltage connection points under the
provisions of section 3. Nonresidential Extensions.

DEVELOPMENTS ( continued)
(b) Allowances and Advances (continued)
For both residential and nonresidential developments the Company may require the
Developer to pay for line Extensions to, within and alongside their development as part of
installing a loop feed or to provide for future development.
(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 l(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.
(d) Underground Extensions
The Company will construct underground Extensions when requested by the Developer or
required by local ordinances or conditions. The Developer must pay for the conversion of
any existing overhead facilities to underground under the terms of Section 6 Relocation or
Replacement of Facilities. The Developer must provide, at their expense, all trenching and
backfilling, imported backfill material, conduits, and equipment foundations that the
Company requires. If the Developer requests, the Company will provide these items at the
Developer's expense.
For conversion of any existing overhead facilities to underground, the terms of Section 6 of

5. EXTENSION EXCEPTIONS
(a) Applicant Built Line Extensions
(1) General
An Applicant may contract with someone other than the Company to build a Line
Extension. The following circumstances, however, are not an option for Applicant
Built Line Extensions: relocations, conversions from overhead to underground,
going from single phase to three-phase, or increasing the capacity of facilities. The
Applicant must contract with the Company before starting construction of an
Applicant Built Line Extension. When the Applicant has completed construction of
the Line Extension and the Company approves it, the Company will connect it to
the Company's facilities and assume ownership.
(2) Liability and Insurance
The Applicant assumes all risks for the Construction of an Applicant Built Line
Extension. Before starting construction, the Applicant must furnish a certificate
naming the Company as an additional insured for a minimum of $1 ,000,000. The
Applicant may cancel the policy after the Company accepts ownership of the Line
Extension.
(3) Advance for Design, Specifications, Material Standards and Inspections
The Applicant must advance the Company's estimated costs for design,
specifications, material standards and inspections. 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.
( 4) Construction Standard
The Applicant must construct the Line Extension in accordance with the Company's
design, specifications, and material standards and along the Company's selected
route. Otherwise, the Company will not accept or energize the Line Extension.

Extension. The Applicant must provide the Company unencumbered title to the
Line Extension.
(6) Rights-of-Way
The Applicant must provide to the Company all required rights-of-way, easements
and permits in accordance with paragraph I .(m) in this regulation.
(7) Contract Minimum Billing
The Company may require the Applicant to pay a Contract Minimum Billing as
defined in paragraph l.(b) in this regulation.
(8) Deficiencies in Construction
If, within 24 months of the time the Company energized the Line Extension, it
determines that the Applicant provided deficient material or workmanship, the
Applicant must pay the cost to correct the deficiency. At its discretion, the
Company may require that the Applicant provide a faithful performance bond
before the Applicant begins construction.
(9) Line Extension Value
The Company will calculate the value of a Line Extension using its standard
estimating methods. The Company will use the Line Extension Value to calculate
Contract Minimum Billings, reimbursements, and refunds.
(10) Line Extension Allowance
After assuming ownership, the Company will calculate the appropriate Extension
Allowance. 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 Customer also must pay Facilities Charges for the Duplicate Facilities for as
long as service is taken, but in no case less than five (5) years.

long as service is taken, but in no case less than five (5) years.
( d) Highly Fluctuating Loads
The Company will furnish facilities for Highly Fluctuating Loads as defined in Regulation 2
of this tariff, provided that the Applicant agrees to advance to the Company the estimated
installed cost of such facilities over the cost of facilities which the Company, in its sole
discretion, 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

construction than is practical under the circumstances or necessary in accordance with
sound engineering standards and practices to supply the energy requirements of Customers
who obtain service in accordance with this regulation, the cost of construction of that
additional line capacity shall be borne completely by the Company and not be considered in
determining the Contract Minimum Billing or advances made by Applicants for service.
6. RELOCATION OR REPLACEMENT OF FACILITIES
(a) Relocation of Facilities
If requested by an Applicant or Customer, and if the request is feasible, the Company will:
relocate distribution facilities on to, or adjacent to, the Customer's premises; and/or, replace
existing overhead distribution facilities with comparable underground. If existing easements
are insufficient for the new facilities, the Applicant or Customer is responsible for obtaining
new easements. Substation facilities and transmission voltage facilities will be relocated at
the discretion of the Company.
For overhead to underground relocations, the new underground system must not impair the
use of the remaining overhead system. The Applicant or Customer must elect either: to
provide all trenching and backfilling, imported backfill material, conduits, and equipment
foundations that the Company requires for the Extension; or, to pay the Company to provide
these items.
In addition, the Applicant or Customer must advance the following:
(1) The estimated installed cost of the new facilities plus the estimated removal
expense of the existing facilities, less
(2) The estimated salvage value plus accrued depreciation of the facilities to be
