1. CONDITIONS AND DEFINITIONS (continued) (c) Engineering Costs -- (continued) If the Applicant or Customer requests changes that require additional estimates, they must advance the Company’s estimated Engineering Costs, but not less than the minimum specified in Schedule 300 for each additional estimate. The Company will not refund or credit this payment. (d) Extension -- A branch from, or a continuation of, a Company owned transmission or distribution line where a line has not been removed, at customer request, within the last five (5) years. An extension may be single-phase, three-phase, a conversion of a single-phase line to a three-phase line, the provision of additional capacity in existing lines, substations or
other facilities, or addition of new distribution or transmission facilities. The Company will own, operate and maintain all Extensions made under this regulation. (e) Extension Allowance -- The Extension Allowance is the portion of the Extension that the Company provides or allows without cost to the Applicant. The portion will vary with the class of service that the Applicant requests and the Applicant’s total load request, and is the
lesser of: the maximum potential 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. (f) 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
