PROVISIONS OF THIS RIDER.
Customer Baseline Load Calculation
A Customer Baseline Load .(CBL). will be calculated for each hour corresponding to each
curtailment event hour. Normally, the CBL will be calculated for each hour as the average
corresponding hourly demands from the highest four (4) out of the five (5)most.recent similar
non-event days in.the period preceding the relevant curtailment event. The highest load days are
defined as the similar- days (Weekday, Saturday, Sunday/Holiday) with the highest energy
consumption spanning the curtailment event hours.In cases where the normal calculation does not
55
Effective:January 20,2021
s.
provide a reasonable representation of normal load conditions,the Utility,IMPA and the.customer
may develop an alternative CBL calculation that more accurately reflects the customer's normal
consumption pattern.
Curtailed Demand
The customer's Curtailed Demand shall be determined based upon the method of measurement
chosen by the customer.The customer may choose one of two methods to measure the curtailed
demand: 1) Guaranteed Load Drop (GLD) or 2) Finn Service Level (FSL). The method chosen
shall remain in effect for the entire contract period.
1)Guaranteed Load Drop Method
•
a) Each customer must designate a Guaranteed Load Drop(GLD),:which amount shall be
the minimum demand reduction that the customer will provide for each hour during a
curtailment event or during a curtailment test.
b) If the customer fails to fully comply with a request for curtailment under the provisions of
this Rider or does not reduce load by the full GLD, a non-compliance charge shall apply:
For this purpose, Actual Load Drop (ALD) is defined as the difference between the
customer's CBL and their actual hourly load.If the.ALD is less than the OLD,the Event
Non-Compliance' Demand shall be equal to the.maximum difference between the GLD
and the ALD occurring during the hours of the curtailment event. Otherwise, the Event
Non-Compliance Demand shall be zero (0)..
2) Finn Service Level(FSL)Method
a) Firm Service Level Peak Load Contribution(PLC)—The.customer's PLC will be calculated
each year as the average of its load during NM's five (5) highest peak Ieads during the
twelve month period ended October 3 x of the previous year.
b) Available Curtailable Demand(ACD)—The customer must designate an ACD,defined as
the difference between the PLC and the Finn Service Level(FSL).The FSL is the demand
to which the customer agrees to reduce load to or below for each hour during a curtailment
event.
c) If the customer fails to fully comply with a request for curtailment under the provisions of
this Rider, then the Non-Compliance Charge shall apply. If a customer is operating at or
below their designated FSL during an event,it will be understood that they have no DRS
Capacity available with which to comply and will not be charged a non-compliance.
penalty. If the metered demand during the curtailment event is above the FSL, the Event
Non-Compliance Demand shall be equal to the maximum difference between: the
customer's metered demand and the. FSL during the hours of the-curtailment event.
Otherwise the Event Non-Compliance Demand shall be zero(0).
5.6
Effective: January 20,2021
i s
Curtailed Energy
The Curtailed Energy shall be determined for each curtailment event hour, defined as the.
difference between the customer's CBI,for that hour and the customer's metered load for that.hour.
Curtailment Credits
The Curtailment Energy Credit shall be 95% of the AEP East Load Zone hourly Real-Time
Locational Marginal Price:(LM.P) established by PJM (including congestion and marginal losses)
for each curtailment event hour..
The Curtailment.Demand Credit.shall be calculated.as. 95% of the applicable PJM Reliability
Pricing Model(RPM)Base Residual Auction price for the delivery year.The.Curtailment.Demand
Credit($/kW-Month)shall equal:
RPM Price* 95%*'365 Days/ 12 Months/1,000
Within 30 days of completion of each PJM.RPM Base Residual Auction,IMPA will notify Utility.
and Customer of the Curtailment Demand Credit for that delivery year.
Monthly Demand Credit.
The Monthly Demand Credit shall be applicable to each month the customer is served under this
Rider, regardless of whether or not there are any curtailment events during the month..
Guaranteed Load Drop Method—The Monthly Demand Credit.shall be equal to the product of the
GLD and the Curtailment Demand Credit.
Firm.Service Level (FSL)Method—The Monthly Demand Credit shall be equal to the product of
the ACD and the Curtailment Demand Credit.
Monthly Event Credit
An Event Credit shall be calculated for each event hour equal to the product of the Curtailed
Energy for that hour and the Curtailment Energy Credit for that hour. The Monthly Event Credit
shall be the sum of the hourly Event Credits for all events occurring in the calendar.month. The
customer shall not receive Event Credit for any curtailment events to the extent that the customer's
DRS Capacity is already reduced due to a planned or unplanned outage as a result of vacation,
renovation, repair, refurbishment, force majeure, strike, economic conditions, or any situation
other than the customer's normal operating conditions.
Annual Non-Compliance Charge
Charges-for non-compliance will be based on the customer's Non-Compliance-Demand which
reflects any failure by the customer to fully comply with requests for curtailment under the
provisions of this.Rider.The Annual Non-Compliance Charge will be computed on an estimated
57
Effective:January 20,2021
basis at the completion of the September delivery month and on an -actual basis at the completion
of the delivery year,The Annual Non-Compliance Charge shall be equal to the average Non-
Compliance Demand times the Curtailment Demand Credit times 12.
In the event that the estimated Annual Non-Compliance Charge is greater than zero, such charge
shall be assessed as a uniform offset to the Customer Credits for remaining months of the delivery
year, September through May. In the event the actual Annual Non-Compliance Charge is greater
than zero, the customer will be invoked for any amount..greater than the Customer Credit'for the
last month of the delivery year. In no event shall the Annual.Non-Compliance Demand Charge
exceed the sum of the'Customer Credits, excluding the Annual Non-Compliance Charge, for the
delivery year.
Customer Credit
The net amount of the.Monthly Demand Credit,Monthly Energy Event Credit and Annual Non-
Compliance Charge will be provided to the Utility within two(2) billing months after the end of
the delivery month. A customer may request the aggregation of individual customer account.
credits into a single credit.
Adjustments'to Customer Billing Units
During 'months when the customer's interruptible load, is interrupted and customers paid the
Curtailment Energy Credits discussed above,the customer's Metered Energy shall be increased by
the verified curtailed energy.
If the customer is billed on a coincident peak basis, during months when' the customer's.
interruptible load is interrupted during the hour of the Utility's Billing Demand from IMPA,the
Customer's metered demand shall'be increased by the verified CTID or ACD.
Term
Contracts under this Rider shall be made for an initial period.-of four(4) delivery years and shall
remain.in'effect until either party provides three (3)years'written notice prior to March 1 of its
intention to discontinue service under the terms of this Rider for the fourth delivery year beginning
after the notice is provided..
Special Terms and Conditions
Customer specific information, including,but not limited to,DRS contract capacity, shall remain
confidential.

PROVISIONS OF THIS RIDER.
Customer Baseline Load Calculation
A Customer Baseline Load (CBL) will be calculated for each hour corresponding to each
curtailment event hour. Normally, the CBL will be calculated for each hour as the average
corresponding hourly demands from the-highest four(4) out of the five(5)most.recent similar
non-event days in the period preceding the relevant curtailment event. The highest load days are
defined as the similar- days (Weekday, Saturday, Sunday/Holiday) with the highest energy
consumption spanning the curtailment event hours.In cases where the normal calculation does not
55
Effective:January 20,2021
w e
. provide a reasonable representation ofnormal load conditions,theUtility,IMPA and the customer
may develop an alternative CBL calculation that more accurately reflects the customer's normal
consumption pattern.
Curtailed Demand
The customer's Curtailed Demand shall be determined based upon the method of measurement
chosen by the customer. The customer may choose one of two.methods to-measure the curtailed
demand;. I) Guaranteed Load Drop.(OLD) or 2) Finn.Service Level (FSL). The method chosen
shall remain in effect for the entire contract period.
1)Guaranteed Load Drop Method
a) Each customer must designate a Guaranteed Load Drop(GLD),.-which amount:shall be
the minimum demand reduction that the customer will provide for each hour during a
curtailment event or during a curtailment test.
b) Ifthe customer fails to fully comply with a request for curtailment under the provisions of
this Rider.or does not reduce load by the full GLD,a non-compliance charge shall apply:
For this purpose, Actual Load Drop (ALD) is defined as the difference between the
customer's-CBL and their actual hourly.load.If the ALD is less than the OLD,the Event
Non-Compliance'Demand shall be equal to the maximum difference between the OLD
• and the ALD occurring during the hours of the curtailment event. Otherwise, the Event
Non-Compliance Demand shall.be zero(0).
-2) Finn Service Level(FSL)Method
.a) Firm-Service Level Peak Load Contribution(PLC)—The customer's PLC will be calculated
each year as the average of its load during NM's.five (5) highest peak Ieads during the
twelve month period ended October 3 x of the.previous year.
b) Available Curtailable Demand(ACD)—The customermust designate an A.CD,,defined as
the difference between the PLC and the Finn Service-Level(FSL).The FSL is the demand
to which the customer agrees to reduce load too or belowfor each hour during a curtailment
event.
c) If the customer fails to fully comply with a request for curtailment under The provisions of •
this Rider, then the Non-Compliance Charge shall apply. If a customer-is operating at or
below their designated FSL during an event,it will be-understood that they have no DRS
Capacity available with which to comply and will not be charged .a non-compliance
penalty..If the metered demand during the curtailment event is above the FSL„the Event
N.on-Compliance Demand shall be equal to the maXinium difference between the
customer's metered demand and the. FSL during the hours. of the-curtailment event.
Otherwise the Event Non-Compliance-Demand shall be zero(0).
56
Effective:January 20,2021
e
Curtailed Energy
The Curtailed Energy shall be determined. for each curtailment event hour, defined as the
difference between the customer's GEL for that hour and the customer's metered load for that hour.
Curtailment Credits
The Curtailment Energy Credit shall be 95% of the AEP East Load Zone.hourly Real-Time
Locational Marginal Price(LMP)established by PJM(including congestion and marginal losses)
for each curtailment event hour.
'The Curtailment.Demand Credit shall be calculated as. 951Y.0 of the applicable PJM Reliability
Pricing Model(RPM)Base Residual Auction price for the delivery-year.The Curtailment Demand
Credit 0/kW-Month)shall equal:
RPM Price* 95%*365 Days./ 12 Months/4000
Within 30 days of completion of each PJM RPM Base Residual Auction,IMPA will notify Utility.
and Customer of the Curtailment Demand Credit for that delivery year.
Monthly Demand Credit
• The Monthly Demand Credit shall be applicable to each month the customer is served under this
Rider,regardless of whether or not there are any curtailment events during the month.
Guaranteed Load Drop Method—The Monthly Demand Credit shall be equal to the product of the
OLDd the Curtailment Demand Credit.
Finn Service Level(FSL)Method—The Monthly Demand Credit shall be equal to the product of
the ACD and the Curtailment Demand Credit.
Monthly Event Credit
An Event Credit shall be:calculated for each event hdur equal to the product of the Curtailed
Energy for that hour and the Curtailment Energy Credit for that hour. The Monthly Event Credit
shall be the sum of the hourly Event Credits for all events occurring in the calendar month. The .
customer shall not receive Event Credit for any curtailment events to the extent that the eustoiner"s
DRS.Capacity is already reduced due to a_planned or unplanned outage as a result of vacation,
renovation,.repair, refurbishment, force-majeure, strike, economic conditions,. or any situation
other than the customer's normal operating conditions,
Annual Non-Compliance Charge
Charges-for non-compliance will be based on the customer's Non-Compliance-Demand which
reflects any failure by the customer to fully comply with requests.for curtailment under the
provisions ofthis.Rider.The Annual Non-Compliance Charge will be computed on an-estimated
57
Effective:January 20,2021
basis at the completion of the September delivery month and on.an-actual basis at the completion
of the delivery year,The Annual Non-Compliance Charge shall be equal to the average Non-
Compliance Demand times the Curtailment Demand Credit times 12.
In the event that the estimated Annual Non-Compliance Charge is greater than zero, such charge
shall be assessed as a uniform offset to the Customer Credits for remaining months of the delivery
year, September through May. In the event the.actual Annual Non-Compliance Charge is greater
than zero, the customer will be invoked for any amount greater than the Customer Credit for the
last month of the delivery year. In no event shall the Annual Non-Compliance Demand Charge
exceed the sum of the Customer Credits, excluding the Annual Non-Compliance Charge, for-the
delivery year.
Customer Credit
The net amount of the. Monthly Demand Credit,Monthly Energy Event Credit and Annual Non-
.Compliance Charge will be provided to the Utility within two (2) billing months after the end of
the delivery month. A customer may request the aggregation of individual customer account.
credits into a single credit.
Adjustments to Customer Billing Units
During months when the customer's interruptible load, is interrupted and customers paid the
Curtailment Energy Credits discussed above,the customer's Metered Energy shall be increased by
the verified curtailed energy.
If the customer is billed on a coincident peak basis, during months when the customer's
interruptible load is interrupted during the hour of the Utility's Billing Demand froni.IMPA,the
Customer's metered demand shall be increasedby the verified CTID or ACE).
Term
Contracts under this Rider shall be made for an initial period-of four(4.) delivery years and shall
remain.hi effect until either party provides three (3)years'written notice prior to March 1 of its
intention to discontinue service'under the terms ofthis Rider for the fourth delivery year beginning
after the notice is provided.
Special Terms and Conditions
Customer specific information,including,but not limited to,DRS contract capacity,shall remain
confidential.
