Facility in parallel with Companys distribution system. This Agreement is applicable only to
Companys customers who satisfy all requirements of the definition of an Eligible Customer-
Generator set forth in the Companys Rule 18 relating to net energy metering, and only to the
Generating Facility described and installed at the location listed below. The Generating Facility may not

components shown in Exhibit A, (DESCRIPTION OF CUSTOMER-GENERATORS GENERATING
FACILITY), Exhibit B, (GENERATING FACILITY OWNED BY THE CUSTOMER-GENERATOR
OR THIRD PARTY OWNER) including a single line diagram and three-line diagram (if Generating
Facilitys Total Rated Capacity is greater than or equal to 30kW but not more than 50 kW) showing the
general arrangement of how the Generating Facility and loads are interconnected with Company, and

Companys system including a review of the equipment and devices required to permit Customer-
Generators Generating Facility to operate in parallel with and deliver electric energy to Companys
system, such as, but not limited to, transmission lines, distribution lines, transformers, switches, relays,
and circuit breakers.


A. Facilities: (1) For the purposes of this Agreement, the Generating Facility is defined as the
equipment and devices, and associated appurtenances, owned by the Customer-Generator or
leased by the Customer-Generator, which produce electric energy for use by the Customer-
Generator and are to be interconnected and operated in parallel with the Companys system.
(2) The Customer-Generator shall furnish, install, operate and maintain, at its cost, the
interconnection facilities (such as circuit breakers, relays, switches, synchronizing equipment,
monitoring equipment, and control and protective devices and schemes) identified in Exhibit B
hereto (Customer-Generator Interconnection Facilities).
(3) The point of interconnection is shown on the single-line diagram and three-line diagram
(provided by the Customer-Generator and reviewed by the Company) which are attached to
Exhibit B (provided that the three-line diagram is not required if the Generating Facilitys Total
Rated capacity is less than 30 kW).
(4)
The Customer-Generator agrees to test the Generating Facility, to maintain operating
records, and to follow such operating procedures, as may be specified by the Company to protect
the Companys system from damages resulting from the parallel operation of the Generating
Facility, including such testing, records and operating procedures as more fully described in
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(5)
The Company may inspect the Generating Facility, as more fully described in Exhibit B.
B. Interconnection Facilities Owned by the Company: The Company agrees to furnish,
install, operate and maintain such interconnection facilities on its side of the point of
interconnection with the Generating Facility as required for parallel operation with the
Generating Facility and as more fully described in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part
hereof (Company Interconnection Facilities). All such interconnection facilities shall be the
property of the Company. Where portions of the Company Interconnection Facilities are located
on the Customer-Generators premises, the Customer-Generator shall provide, at no expense to
the Company, a suitable location for and access to all such equipment. If a 120/240 Volt power
source or sources are required, the Customer-Generator shall provide these at no expense to the
Company.
C. Customer-Generator Payments: The Customer-Generator agrees to pay to the Company a
non-refundable contribution for the Company's investment in the interconnection facilities
described in Exhibit C, subject to the terms and conditions included in Exhibit C, and to pay for
other interconnection costs. The interconnection costs will not include the cost of an initial
technical screening of the impact of the Generating Facility on the Companys system, but will
include the actual cost (or such lesser amount as the Company may specify to facilitate the
processing of interconnection requests for similarly situated facilities) of additional technical
study for the Generating Facility.
