RETAIL CUSTOMER DEMAND RESPONSE
AVAILABILITY
The Dover Electric Utility (“Dover”) or its authorized designee is the sole entity permitted to bid demand response
directly into the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) (“DR Program”) on behalf of retail customers served by Dover.
No Customer may participate in a DR program of any other entity unless such program is consistent with the terms
and conditions in this tariff and approved in advance by Dover.
Dover or its authorized designee may allow a Customer to bid DR into PJM’s ancillary services market for energy
imbalance, spinning reserves, supplemental reserves, reactive power and voltage control, or regulation and
frequency response ancillary services, subject to the same terms and conditions.
DR programs may reduce electric service costs for the Customer, provide enhanced usage data, reduce emissions
from electric generation, and provide demand flexibility.
CONTENTS OF APPLICATION
Customer shall submit to Dover a written request to participate that includes the following: 1) Type of DR
program; and 2) Metering requirements for participation. Dover’s approval of the application shall be granted
within fourteen (14) days.
EFFECT OF APPLICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover’s receipt and review of any documentation submitted by a Customer shall not constitute approval of such
DR Provider or a guarantee of performance or payment by a DR Provider, nor shall Dover be liable for ANY
damages sustained by the Customer.
RIGHT TO TERMINATE PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover reserves the right to disapprove a request to participate in a DR program or to terminate participation by
Customer when, in Dover’s sole discretion, Dover determines that participation by Customer will be detrimental to
another customer or to the City of Dover.
SPECIAL METERING REQUIREMENTS
If Customer requires special metering equipment or devices to participate in the DR program, Customer shall
provide the specifications for such equipment or devices in writing to the Dover Electric Department at the time of
application or promptly thereafter. Within fourteen (14) days thereafter, Dover will provide the Customer with an
estimate of the cost of the special metering equipment or devices and an estimate of the cost of providing special
meter reading data. The cost of any special metering equipment or device shall be the responsibility of the
Customer and shall be paid prior to the scheduled installation date. All costs for data or special readings shall be
billed to Customer monthly.

Utility Committee Meeting of 02/14/2011
City of Dover
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
February 28, 2011
Sent to State and Local Legislators
Dear FIELD(Salutation):
The City of Dover offers its full support of House Bill No. 27 - An Act to Amend Title 26 of the Delaware
Code Relating to Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS). This amendment will allow the City of
Dover to add energy conservation, energy efficiency, and demand-side energy management programs to its
strategies for complying with the standards set forth in the law.
The City of Dover was an advocate for the RPS legislation, as it was enacted last year, and is a proven leader
in the area of renewable energy, energy conservation, and carbon emission reductions. The City initiated,
and is now a partner in, the Dover Sun Park Project, a 10MW solar photovoltaic facility that will be
completed this summer and will be the largest solar facility in the northeast. Under the current law, the City
of Dover will be able to use the Dover Sun Park in its plan to meet the RPS standards. The City of Dover
has also converted street lights on Division Street to energy efficient LED lights; this is the first street in the
State of Delaware to fully deploy this technology. Under the current law, the City of Dover would not
receive credit for deploying energy efficient technology; however, under the proposed amendment, Dover
would receive credit.
The amendment will make it clear that energy conservation and efficiency programs are as important to
reducing our dependence on fossil fuels as are renewable energy sources. In addition, this amendment will
make Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards more reasonably attainable and will reduce the cost of
complying with the standards, thereby reducing energy costs to our customers.
As always, we wish to extend our appreciation for the continued support of our legislators.
Sincerely,
Kenneth L. Hogan Carleton E. Carey, Sr.
Council President Mayor
