Section 3: Power Quality. Operation of Customer's load disconnect equipment must not cause any reduction in the quality of service provided by ERMU to its other customers nor interfere with the operation of the Distribution System or ERMU's power supplier's transmission system. If, in the opinion of ERMU, quality of service to other customers is compromised, it shall be the responsibility of Customer to take any corrective action that may be required and/or for reimbursing ERMU for the cost of corrective action which ERMU deems necessary to provide and restore service to prescribed limits. Operation of Customer's load disconnect equipment shall be made in a manner such that Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) levels shall be less than 1% and power factor of 95% lagging or higher is maintained. ARTICLE 5. LOAD DISCONNECT OPERATION Upon not less than thirty minutes notice by ERMU or its designated agent, Customer shall interrupt enough load to attain the PDL as stated in Article 1. During such period ERMU shall not be obligated to serve that portion of the load interrupted to reach the PDL. Exceptions to the thirty minute notice may occur in system emergency situations, but every attempt will be made to give as much advance notice as possible under system emergency situations. ARTICLE 6. COMPENSATION TO CUSTOMER. Section 1: ERMU shall compensate Customer for load interruptions maintained at or below the PDL when requested by ERMU or its designated agent, at the rates indicated below: Monthly Credit/Kw* Summer (June, July, and Aug) $14.00 per kW Winter(Dec, Jan, and Feb) $10.00 per kW Spring/Fall (Mar, Apr, May, Sept, Oct,Nov $ 6.00 per kW *Credit applies only during months in which Customer coincidental peak demand is at least 100 kW over the PDL. The difference between Customer's coincidental peak demand at the time of notice to interrupt and the PDL shall be used as a basis for establishing Customer's monthly credit. In months in which no notice to interrupt is given, the difference between Customer's coincidental peak demand and the PDL shall be used as a basis for establishing Customer's monthly credit. In any month in which the difference between the Customer's coincidental peak demand and the PDL is not at least 100 kW, no credit will be given. If the difference between the Customer's coincidental peak demand and the PDL remains less than 100 kW for two or more consecutive months, a new PDL may be established or ERMU shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as indicated in Article 12. Exceptions to the right to terminate will be made for seasonal loads, but that exception must be noted as defined under Seasonal Loads in Article 1. If Customer fails to interrupt load down to the PDL for the specified length of time of the control period in any calendar month a$5.00/kW demand penalty may be added 3 128
