8-1C-4: - SCHEDULE OF RATES: Modi翿ed

Development Of Rates: A rate and fee study was conducted to determine the appropriate set of

DPU-E rates and fees by computing the power purchase agreement and other "costs" to DPU-Eand translating it to cost-of-service customer "prices" for DPU-E supply of electric energy and

services. The development of the fees relied upon variables such as material costs, labor costs,

and lifecycles of the materials being installed.

Reserved.

Customer Access To Electric Consumption Data: In order to provide customers with the

ability to access, review, and download information pertaining to their energy consumptio

DPU-E may provide an online customer energy dashboard or web portal. Customers may

also access information relative to their energy usage by contacting a customer service

representative at the telephone number provided on their electric utility bill.Seasonality: The scheduled rates in this Section 8-1C-4 have been developed with the

financial consideration of the variability of the customer's consumption of electric energy

during the year. The rate's scheduled price to the customer reflects this variance, and with

the exception of the Purchased Power Adjustment described in 8-1C-4:4, no other seasona

components will be implemented outside of these below scheduled costs.

Rate Classes: There are five (5) rate classes: Residential (RS), General Service (GS), Primary

Metering (PM), Transmission Metering (TM), and Outdoor Metered Lighting (ML).

Base Rates: Reserved.

Rate Options: The customer may apply for optional rates after satisfying the specificrequirement pertaining to the given option.

Rate Groups: Flat and Time-of-Use (TOU) are defined as rate groups. Flat rate group

receives the same flat values for rates any time of day and TOU rate group receives

different rate values depending on the time of day.

With respect to the TOU Rate Group, all weekend hours are considered off-peak, and all

local, state, and federal observed holidays have no special consideration; rates will be

based upon the day of the week upon which they fall.

Customer Charge per Rate Class: All utility bills will contain a monthly customer charge

Rate Selection And Approval: Time-Of-Use: Reserved.

Demand Charge:

Calculation of Demand Charge: Demand charges, in units of kW, are calculated as various

billing determinants across rate classes as indicated in the schedule of rates in this Sectio

The demand values are calculated in the DPU-E IT systems based on the energy (kWh) value

obtained from smart electric meters. Demand values are calculated on an hourly basis

through the summation of the energy values across the 15-minute sub-hourly intervals: Foselect commercial and industrial customers with smart electric meters that have 30-minute

energy intervals, an hourly demand value is derived from the summation of the energy

values across the 30-minute sub-hourly intervals. The demand charge for the billing period

calculated using the maximum hourly demand value recorded during the billing period.

Coincident Demand Calculations: Coincident demand calculations shall be made for speci

SDPs with the SDP having two (2) or more electric meters which may individually carry the

full load of the premises served at any given time during a billing period (i.e. banked electri

meters at particular premises). Coincident demand calculations shall be made as follows. T

demand values as outlined in Subsection 8-1C-4.3.1 shall be added across the multiple

electric meters at an SDP for each hourly interval within a billing period (the "sum"). The

maximum sum for such calculation will determine the hourly billing demand for the billing

period.

Demand Adjustment: DPU-E will take electric system outages into consideration when

calculating the kilowatt demand (kW) component of utility bills. For any kW-delivered rate

component, DPU-E will ignore the demand values for any day that any given customer

experiences a power outage. Although power outages are rare in the DPU-E system, the

inrush demand for electricity following a power outage is normally greater than the typical

demand for ower, and usin such values will not be indicative of true demand. DPU-E will

utilize outage and restoration messages from the smart electric meters as an indication tha

an outage has occurred during a specific day.

Purchased Power Adjustment: The Purchased Power Adjustment (PPA) is an adjustment on

customer's bill reflecting the fluctuating supply costs associated with purchasing energy. An

increase or decrease in the PPA is dependent on market conditions. The customer's bill will

be adjusted monthly to pass the fluctuations in Naperville DPUE's wholesale energy supply

costs as a credit or debit. The PPA is based on a rolling six-month average of Naperville's

DPUE supply cost for purchased power. It will be calculated monthly on all energy usage(kWH's) for all customer rate classes and applied to a following month's bill.

Power Factor/Quality At A Customer's Premises: DPU-E requires customers to use and

maintain electric equipment on their premises (all rate classes, all types of premises) such

that they are not inducing a negative power quality on other customers and/or to the DPU-

electrical distribution system. Power quality attributes of concern are such items as

harmonics, distortion, VAr (reactive power), high voltage, low voltage, unapproved backfeed

and interruptions. The specific requirements for power quality are set forth in the DPU-E

Service Rules and Policies Handbook. If a customer is determined to be inducing a poor

power factor/quality to other customers and/or to the DPU-E electrical distribution system,they, through a written agreement with DPU-E, shall be susceptible to the power

factor/quality fee, to be charged on the customer's bill when infractions occur.

Residential Rates (RS):

maintenance of all requested facilities; and

12.2.3.3. Provide for access to all such facilities by DPU-E's equipment and personnel.

Energy Charges: The following calculation shall determine the annual charge for contrac

outdoor lighting. This charge is subject to any applicable Municipal and State taxes for

each billing period.

The annual charge for contract outdoor lighting is equal to the current outdoor

metered lighting (OLR) kWh rate, multiplied by the actual total watts of lighting for

the customer, multiplied by twelve (12) hours/day average use of the lights, and

multiplied by three hundred sixty-five (365) days.

Charge For Additional Facilities:

If the installation or placement of contract outdoor lighting units requested by thecustomer requires DPU-E to extend its distribution facilities beyond the existing

electrical distribution system, DPU-E shall furnish, install, own, and maintain the

additional facilities that will be necessary to provide such lighting.

In such cases, DPU-E will bill the customer a charge equal to DPU-E's actual costs fo

any such modification to the existing electrical distribution system. Such a charge

shall be in addition to the applicable customer charge as stated in this Subsection 8-1C

4.

This additional charge shall be billed to the customer in twenty-four (24) equal

installments during the term of the contract.

Prior to the DPU-E installation of any contracted outdoor lighting system, the

customer shall execute a contract with the City including the plans, specifications,

payment terms of the requested system—which shall be determined after construction

The initial term of such a contract shall be twenty-four (24) months, and the contra

shall automatically renew unless expressly terminated by either party.

to this Section 8-1C-6 including the exact location of the electric service connections made.

Copies of such permits shall be furnished to the Director, DPU-E.

Time Of Validity: The issued permit shall be valid for a period of ninety (90) days from its

issuance.

Infrastructure Availability Charge (IAC) For Service Connections: For any building permits issued

after December 17, 2013, an Infrastructure Availability Charge (I.A.C.) shall not be imposed. TheIAC charge for permanent electric service connection or any addition thereto shall be calculated

by determining the applicant's proportional share of the cost to construct the transmission,

substation and distribution facilities (hereinafter "backbone facilities") required to provide

available electric service for the proposed development. The IAC charge shall be revised and

adjusted annually beginning on January 1, 1997, and on January 1 of each successive year, on th

basis of the "Handy Whitman Index of Public Utility Construction Costs," as published in July of

each previous year.

Residential Infrastructure Availability Charge (IAC): For purposes of this Section 8-1C-6,

residential customers shall include all residential persons including, but not limited to,single-family detached, single-family attached, duplexes, townhouses, multi-family dwelling

and accounts servicing the common areas of any such persons (sometimes known as "hous

accounts"), but excluding hotels and motels. The IAC for residential customers shall be one

thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per residential dwelling unit in 2013.

Nonresidential Infrastructure Availability Charge (IAC):

Each nonresidential IAC shall be individually determined by DPU-E on the basis of

engineering plans and drawings submitted by the applicant.

The nonresidential IAC shall be calculated by multiplying the estimated maximum

non-coincident demand for the customer in kilowatts (kW), as determined from the

architectural plans and drawings submitted by the applicant, by two hundred ninety-

seven dollars and thirty-two cents ($297.32) per kW in 2013 where two hundred ninety

seven dollars and thirty-two cents ($297.32) represents the investment in the system's

backbone facilities expressed in dollars per kilowatt. This calculation shall not be

adjusted after its initial determination unless revised architectural plans are submitted

by the applicant before the scheduling of any construction by DPU-E.

Charges For Preexisting Service: Where there is construction of a new building or the

alteration of or addition to an existing building located upon a lot, block, tract, or parcel

which has an existing, previously used, electric service connection to DPU-E's electrical

distribution system, and if such construction, alteration, or addition will result in an

increased number of residential dwelling units located upon such lot, block, tract, or parcel

or an increase in the electric energy load from the previously assessed value to a

nonresidential customer, no building permit or electric service connection permit shall be

issued without payment of additional IACs calculated according to this Subsection 8-1C-6.5

The additional IAC for any other upgrade in electric energy load from the previously

assessed value shall be the incremental difference between the IAC for the service a

upgraded and the IAC previously assessed and imposed on the system as it presently

exists.
