Such Fuel Cost Factor steal] be calculated according to the following formula:
Fuel Cost Factor (FCF) = F CF) x LF (rounded to nearest .0001 cents)
DEFINITIONS
F = Estimated fuel costs for the current calendar month consisting of
(a) the cost of fuel, as recorded in F.E.R.C. Accounts SDI
and 847,
(b) plus the cost of power purchased from qualifying co-
generation and small power production facilities as
defined in Final Order No. 70 issued by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission to implement Section
210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of I978
as well as power purchased from other non -qualifying
facilities,

and the full cost of economy energy purchased
(d) plus non -fuel costs associated with energy purchased
under contracts approved by the.Public Utility Commis-
sion of Texas but not 'included in base rates,
(e) less the cost of fuel recovered from kwh sales to other
electric utilities through interchange transactions.
(f) less the actual cost of fuel recovered through the Sup-
plemental Agreement for Non -Firm Service.
S = All kilowatt-hours estimated to be sold and recorded in the cur-
rent month by the Company, excluding interchange trans-
actions and excluding kwh sold under the Supplemental Agree-
ment for Non -Finn Service.
CF = A Correction Factor adjustment to be applied in the current
month to provide for an allowance due to variance between ac-
tual fuel cost and fuel adjustment revenues derived from the
Fuel Cost Factor for the third month preceding the current
month. The calculation of the Correction Factor is as follows:
CF = A - B, where A and B are defined as follows: A is the ac-
tual revenues received from application of the Fuel Cost Factors
in the third preceding month excluding the Correction Factor
used in calculating such Fuel Cost Factors. B is the actual fuel ex-
pense incurred by the Company in the third preceding month
consisting of those elements described in F above.
LF = Loss factors to recognize differences in losses due to voltage

7. It is agreed that the monthly payment for Customer's electrical service
requirements will be the sum of (a) and (b) below:
(a) Charges for firm service computed in accordance with all provi-
sions of the Rate Schedule specified in the Agreement with the
following exceptions:
(1) During periods when service is not being interrupted, the Kva
to be used for billing determinations shall be based on the
metered Kva minus the Interruptible Kva specified in 1.

EXTENSION OF SERVICE FACILITIES TO PERMANENT CUSTOMERS—
OVERHEAD SERVICE EXTENSIONS
Ordinances adopted by certain cities require the Company to extend secondary electric service
facilities to any permanent customer, without charge, for a distance not to exceed 300 feet from the
nearest available overhead line of suitable voltage, phase and capacity. Service must be extended
along public rights-of-way or dedicated easements and is subject to the provisions in Service Stan-
dards, Costs associated with service extensions in excess of 300 feet are at customers expense, as are
costs associated with increasing the capacity of existing lines along the route of extension and costs
associated with line construction over or around any natural or man made obstacle.
The Company has voluntarily adopted certain extension practices that are more liberal than those
required by cities which have enacted ordinances.

EXTENSION OF SERVICE FACILITIES TO PERMANENT CUSTOMERS—
OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION SERVICE EXTENSIONS
300—Foot Line Extension Plan
Single-phase or three-phase service facilities are extended up to 300 feet in public street rights-of-
way or dedicated easements from existing lines of suitable phase, voltage and capacity to each per-
manent customer in the Company's service area without charge for construction or clearing of trees.
The Company may install up to three service poles on a customer's property for support of service
drops to a service outlet location determined by the Company. Customers requesting three-phase
service must meet minimum requirements specified in Service Standards for installed rating and
amperage of three-phase equipment. The 300 -Foot Line Extension Plan is applied on a cumulative
basis, provided two or more customers require service from the same line extension.
Cost associated with service extensions in excess of 300 feet are at customer expense, as are costs
associated with increasing the capacity of existing lines along the route of extension and costs
associated with line construction over or around any natural or man made obstacle.
1000!.2000 -Foot Line Extension Plan
The Company extends, without charge, single-phase distribution facilities up to 2,000 feet from
existing lines of suitable phase, voltage and capacity to serve a permanent customer, provided the
extension is made along a public road or dedicated easement, or provided the extension does not
utilize more than three poles on private property. If the customer qualifies for three-phase service,
as outlined in Service Standards, the Company extends three-phase facilities up to 1,000 feet under
similar circumstances.
The customer is required to clear the ground of all trees, stumps, brush, or debris along the route
of the proposed extension to a width specified by the Company. However, where ground clearing is
required on third party property, the Company may require that such work be done by the Com -
party at customer expense. The Company performs the remaining tree trimming within the limits of
the free distance. If the cost of the trimming exceeds 25 percent of the free distance line cost, the
customer bears the remainder of the trimming cost. Transformers, meters, and service drops are not
included in the line cost. The Company does not purchase rights-of-way for service extensions and
any so purchased must be at customer expense.
Cost associated with service extensions in excess of the free distances are at customer expense, as
are costs associated with increasing the capacity of existing lines along the route of extension and
costs associated with line construction over or around any natural or man made obstacle.
Revenue Basis Extension Plan
The Company reserves the right to extend electric service facilities to a customer, at Company ex-
pense, provided the revenue to be received economically warrants the extension of such facilities.
Ground clearing for Company facilities required on the customer's property is done by the
customer. All remaining clearing is normally performed by the Company.
Area Development Plan
Service facilities may also be extended at Company expense provided the facilities are required for .
increased reliability, service continuity, or development of the Company's distribution system. In
conjunction with the installation of such facilities, the Company may extend service from these
facilities to customers in accordance with the appropriate line extension plan.

pads for bus connected transformers, will be performed by the Company. i

the difference in cost between standard construction, as outlined above, and the requested
service arrangements. The Customer must install the concrete encased ducts, manholes psw'

Substantial investments in underground service facilities have been made in certain areas of the
Company's distribution system, and overhead service extensions into these areas are impractical
and will nullify the benefits of past investments. In consideration of these factors, underground ser-
vice utilizing one or more circuits with manual switching capabilities is provided in such areas at no
cost to the Customer. Special service arrangements, such as redundant transformer installations and
automatic circuit transfer designs, are provided at the Company's option on the basis of the
Customer reimbursing the Company for the additional cost of the special service arrangement. The
Customer must install concrete encased ducts, manholes, switchrooms, transformer vaults and
Pads for transformers, switches, and protective devices according to Company specifications.

EXTENSION OF SERVICE FACILITIES TO CUSTOMERS THAT DO NOT
MEET ALL CRITERIA FOR PERMANENT CLASSIFICATION
The Company installs only transformers, meters, and service drops to customers whose facilities
do not fully meet the criteria for classification as permanent, but which are not regarded as tem-
porary because a certain degree of permanency exists. Any other line construction is at customer ex-
pense, including any costs for rights-of-way clearing and tree -trimming. Customer facilities in this
classification include, but are not limited to, livestock water wells, sign boards, concrete or asphalt
batch plants, railroad crossing signals, drive -up photographic finishing stations, telemetry stations,
motor -operated valves, postage stations, amateur athletic facilities constructed on lease property,
cable television power supply facilities, irrigation wells, grain dryers, flood control pumps,
microwave stations, pipeline rectifier stations, oil well pumping units, down -hole pumps, salt water
disposal, traffic control signals, etc. The Company may bill these customers according to a
minimum monthly guarantee when the Company's expected revenue is not sufficient to recover the
investment in the transformers, meters and service drops.
Certain customer facilities, such as fire pumps, may require construction by the Company to pro-
vide service which may seldom or never be used. The Company's expected revenue, therefore, is not
sufficient to recover the investment. When service is extended to a customer in this classification,
the customer will be charged the total cost of construction, including the cost of transformers,
meters, service drops and other materials and labor.

Temporary Service
Temporary service is provided, at the Company's option, on the basis of the customer paying tht
cost of installation and removal of Company facilities.
Service of Doubtful Permanence
A customer is offered a conditional refund agreement if service is requested in advance of con-
struction of a permanent facility to which service would be extended, at Company expense, in ac-
cordance with the appropriate line -extension plan. The agreement requires the customer to pay
estimated installation and removal costs of Company equipment and provides for a refund of such
payment if the customer constructs permanent facilities within 24 months from the date electric ser-
vice is made available. Expenses involved in altering Company facilities toprovide permanent ser-
vice are charged against the refund due the customer.

METER POLICY
�. Company will, upon the request of a customer, and, if he so desires, in his presence or in tl
of his authorized representative, make without charge a test of the accuracy of the custome
meter. The test will be made during the Company's normal working hours at a time convenie
to the customer if he desires to observe the test. The test wilj be made preferably on t
customer's premises, but may, at the Company's discretion, be made at the Company's tE
laboratory. If the meter has been tested by the Company, or by an authorized agency, at ti
customer's request, and within a period of four years the customer requests a new test, tl
Company will make the test, but if the meter is found to be within the accuracy standar
established by the American National Standards Institute, Incorporated, the Company w.
charge the customer a fee which reflects the cost to test the meter, but this charge will in n
event be more than fifteen dollars ($15.00) for a residential customer. Following the completio
of any requested test, the Company will promptly advise the customer of the date of removi
of the meter, the date of the test, the result of the test, and who made the test.
2. If any meter is found to be outside of the accuracy standards established by the American Na
tional Standards Institute, Incorporated, proper correction will be made of previous reading
for the period of six months immediately preceding the removal of such meter from service fo;
test, or from the time the meter was in service since last tested, but not exceeding six months,
and adjusted bills will be rendered. The Company will make no refund except to the customer
last served by the meter prior to the testing. If a meter is found not to register for any period,
unless bypassed or tampered with, the Company will make a charge for units used, but not
metered, for a period not to exceed three months based on amounts used under similar condi-
tions during period preceding or subsequent thereto, or during correspondin
periods in
Previous years. In the case where all metering equipment has.functioned within acceptable
standards of accuracy but an incorrect meter multiplier has been used in billing the customer,
the Company will re -bill the customers account for the corrected amounts of electric service for
the maximum period permitted by law,
3. Each customer will provide for the safekeeping of any of Company's metering instruments and
other appurtenances on customer's premises and will not permit anyone other than persons
authorized by the Company access thereto.
4. Company may install remote metering equipment to obtain information with which to deter-
mine the amount of the monthly bill.
5. Customer may install, at customer's own expense, metering instruments with which to check
the accuracy of the metering of service; provided that billing computations shall be on the basis
Of Company's meters. No equipment however, other than Company's revenue metering equip-
ment shall be installed in the revenue metering circuits. The Company will provide, at the
customer's expense, duplicate circuits for the customer's check meters or other equipment.
Such provisions should normally be made at the time of application for service.

plicable to customers in the Balanced Billing Program.
2. Customers are to be charged each month according to their average kilowatt hour usage for
the twelve (12) months ending with and including the current billing month. At the end of
each twelve (12) month period (program year) that the customer participates in the Balanced

balance, the amount of underpayment will be apportioned and included as payment due on
the final two (2) months of the program year.

more in their program year, and at which time the company may demand full -payment of
the account. In either instance, the customer cannot resubsi ribe for the Balanced Billing Pro-
gram until after twelve (12) months have passed,
