automatic startup may occur simultaneously with notification. Customers without on-site generation will be given 30 minutes to reduce load to the PDL. 9. If the on-site generator fails to perform or the load is not reduced to the PDL during any calendar month, the Customer will not receive the monthly demand credit. If the on-site generator fails to perform or the load is not reduced to the PDL more than two times in any calendar year, ERMU reserves the right to remove the Customer from the Program. 10. The generator installation or method used to interrupt load must conform to ERMU service requirements, and must conform to all local and national safety codes. 11. The Customer must continue to purchase all electric energy and electric energy delivery services from ERMU for the contract period. INCENTIVE: Customers under contract to interrupt load down to a PDL, or with operational on-site generation participating in this Program will receive monthly credits based on the amount of electric demand (kW) which can be interrupted or transferred from ERMU's delivery system to the on-site generator. The monthly credit remains fixed for the years 2003, 2004, and 2005, but varies by season as follows: Monthly Credit Per KW Transferred* Summer (June, July and Aug) $11.00 per kw Winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb) $ 5.50 per kw Spring/Fall (Sept, Oct, Nov, $ 2.50 per kw Mar, Apr, and May) *Credit applies only during months in which Customer agrees to interrupt load to a PDL or when the Customer's generator is fully operational and/or operates within limits prescribed in the Agreement. CREDIT DETERMINATION: Customer's monthly demand credit shall be based on the amount of load which can be either interrupted or transferred from ERMU's delivery system to the Customer's on-site generator at a time specified by ERMU or its designated agent. There must be sufficient load to interrupt or transfer to the standby generator between the hours of 4 PM and 9 PM to allow for a reduction of at least 100 kW. Compensation to Customer shall be paid as a credit applied to Customer's monthly electric bill from ERMU, and shall not be paid to Customer in cash. That monthly credit shall be determined by establishing a mutually agreed upon average monthly kW demand reduction multiplied by the appropriate seasonal rate in effect for that month. No other credits or financial incentives will be provided by ERMU to the Customer under this Program. METERING: The Monthly customer charge shall be increased to $50 per month to cover the cost of program administration. Cost of special metering required for credit determination will be billed to the Customer. ERMU will retain ownership of and maintenance for all special metering required to administer this Program.
