AVAILABILITY
This rider is available to customers served under the following service classifications, Residential “R”, Small
Commercial “C and C1”, Medium Commercial “C2 and C3", Large Commercial “C5", Primary “P”, and
Transmission “T” who own and operate an electric generation facility on the Customer’s premises. The primary
intent of this installation is to offset part or all of the Customer’s electricity requirements. Capacity cannot be
more than 25 kW for residential customers, 100 kW for farms (subject to rules of Delaware Code – Title 26,
Chapter 10, Subsection 1014 (d) (1.) (b.)), and 500 kW for non-residential customers. The primary source of fuel
must be solar, wind, hydro, or another approved source of renewable energy. This rider is applicable to
generation interconnected and operated in parallel with the City of Dover’s transmission and/or distribution
facilities. Application for the installation of any generation system in excess of 500 kilowatts shall be made under
a special contract.
Any customer who elects this rider must apply by filling out the City of Dover Generator Interconnection
Application at least 60 days in advance of the proposed activation date. Approval of the application by the City
must be granted prior to activation of the electric generation facility.
CONNECTION TO THE CITY’S SYSTEM
The electric generation system cannot be connected to the City’s system unless it meets all applicable safety
and performance standards set forth by the following: The City of Dover Technical Considerations Covering
Parallel Operations of Customer Owned Generation of 500 kW or less dated July 1, 2008, National Electric
Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Underwriters Laboratories, and the City of Dover
Electric Service Handbook. The Customer must, at his/her expense, obtain any and all necessary permits,
inspections, and approvals required by any local public authorities and any other governing regulations in effect
at that time.
DELIVERED VOLTAGE
The delivered voltage and delivery point of the Customer’s electric generation shall be at the same delivered
voltage and delivery point that would be supplied by the City if the Customer purchased all of its electricity from
the City.
CONTRACT TERM
The contract term shall be the same as the Customer’s applicable rate tariff.
RATE
The monthly billing shall be as stated in the applicable rate tariff. Under this rider, only the kWh charge for
electricity delivered by the Customer is affected. The Customer will pay for all kWh delivered by the City of
Dover. If the Customer has delivered electricity to the City’s system a credit will be issued equal to the City’s
current kWh rate for that particular class of customer (equal to the Delivery Service Charges and Supply Service
Charges). This credit will be applied to subsequent billing periods to offset a customer’s consumption (City
delivered kWh) in those billing periods until all credits are used or until the end of a twelve month period the
calendar year. After a 12 month period ending either on December 31 or July 31, to be chosen at the discretion
of the customer, any excess kWh credits shall be forfeited to the City for use solely to augment existing funding
for the Green Energy Fund. The payment to the Green Energy Fund shall be equal to the avoided cost of
wholesale power. At the end of the calendar year the Customer may request a payment for any excess kWh
credit. Any excess kWh credits from the customer shall not reduce any fixed monthly customer charges,
taxes or other components of the electric bill imposed by the City.

METERING
A bi-directional watt-hour electric meter will be installed at the Customer’s location to measure the energy
consumed and the energy delivered to the City system. The City will furnish, install, maintain, and own all bi-
directional revenue meters. However, where a large capacity meter is required to serve a customer, or a larger
capacity meter is requested by the customer, the customer shall pay the City the difference between the larger
capacity meter and the meter normally provided under the customer’s applicable rate tariff. Cost will be
determined under the Additional Costs and Responsibilities clause below.
ADDITIONAL COSTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The customer will be required to pay for any additional transmission and distribution costs, transformation,
system protection, and any related safety/protective equipment in excess of what would normally be paid for by
the City. Protective equipment will be installed by the Customer to provide safety for personnel, provide
adequate protection for the City’s electric utility system and to the Customer’s property, and to prevent any
interference with the City’s supply of energy to other utility customers. This equipment will be owned, installed,
and maintained by the Customer.
FAILURE TO COMPLY
The City may disconnect the Customers service from the City’s electric system if the Customer fails to comply
with any of the stipulations of this rider, The Technical Considerations Covering Parallel Operations of Customer
Owned Generation of 500 kW or Less dated July 1, 2008, National Electric Code, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers, Underwriters Laboratories, the Generator Interconnection Application and the City of
Dover Electric Service Handbook.

The General Rules and Regulations of the City of Dover for electric service shall apply to service rendered under
this service classification. All minimum billings, charges for kWh, kW, Purchased Power Adjustment, Public
Utility Tax, Renewal Energy Charge, etc. will be covered under the applicable rate tariff.

Section 1. Amount and Purpose of the Bonds. Acting pursuant to the Enabling Acts, and
the Bond Resolution the City shall issue its negotiable obligations in the maximum aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $5,942,481 to finance or refinance a portion of the cost of the

issuance of the Bonds and any interim financing; the repayment of temporary loans incurred with
respect to the Projects; and the reimbursement of authorized costs previously expended by the
City from other funds.
Section 2. Terms of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be sold to the Delaware Water Pollution
Control Revolving Fund (the “SRF Fund”) administered by the State of Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control pursuant to the terms of its commitment letter
dated August 25, 2009 (the “Commitment Letter”), a copy of which is appended hereto as
Exhibit B, and the other terms and conditions to be contained in a Financing Agreement between
the City and the SRF Fund (the “Financing Agreement”).
It is anticipated that the interest rate on the loan shall be 2.0% if the Projects are under

secure the Bonds on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds. The full faith and credit of the City
shall not be pledged to pay principal and interest on the Bonds.
Section 4. Rate Covenant. The City covenants that it will fix and collect rates, fees and
other charges for the use of and for services furnished or to be furnished by the System, and will
from time to time revise such rates, fees and other charges so that in each Fiscal year the Net
Operating Revenue available to pay debt service on the Bonds will equal at least the principal
and interest requirements for the Bonds. If, for any reason, the revenues are insufficient to
satisfy the foregoing covenant, the City shall within ninety (90) days adjust and increase its rates,
fees and other charges or reduce its Operating Expenses so as to provide sufficient Net Operating
Revenue to satisfy such requirement.

manual signature of the City Clerk.
Section 6. Further Action. The Mayor, the President of the City Council, the City
Treasurer, the City Manager and the City Clerk are authorized and directed to take such other
