RIDER FOR STANDBY SERVICE

Application

The Rider for Standby Service is required under the following provisions for any member needing scheduled maintenance service or unscheduled outage service who is receiving electric service under one of the Cooperative’s firm retail electric rate schedules and who has entered into a contract with the Cooperative for the interconnection and operation of an on-site extended parallel distributed
generation system:

1. Contracts will be made for this service provided the Cooperative has sufficient capacity available in transmission and
distribution facilities to provide such service at the location where the service is requested.
2. Power production equipment (distributed generation system) at the member’s site shall not operate in parallel with the
Cooperative’s system until the installation has been inspected by an authorized Cooperative representative and final
written approval is received from the Cooperative to commence parallel operation.
3. The minimum term of service taken under this Rider shall be one (1) year or such longer period as may be required under
an Electric Service Agreement. Following this initial one-year period, a member receiving standby service may terminate
standby service and establish service under a firm service tariff schedule within the same time frame as would be required
of a new member with a similar firm service load. Such time frame may be dependent on the Cooperative’s Power
Supplier’s ability to adjust its generation capability, including reserve margin, for the increased firm load due to the
member’s selection of firm service from the Cooperative.
4. Energy provided to the member under this Rider is limited to energy used during a forced outage or planned maintenance
of the member’s distributed generation system.

Exceptions to this Application include:
1. Any member taking service under the Cooperative’s Net Metering Service Schedule as established under Wyoming
Statute 37-16- 101 to 104 shall not be required to take service under this Rider for standby services required to temporarily
back up distributed generation systems rated at 25 kW or less;
2. Any member taking service under the Cooperative’s Co-Generation Service shall not be required to take service under
this Rider for standby services required to temporarily back up distributed generation systems rated at less than 1 MW.
However, the Cooperative reserves the right to limit the number of Distributed Generation members receiving such an
exception based on financial considerations; or
3. Any member, in lieu of service under this Rider, may provide physical assurance to ensure that standby service is not
taken. A member requesting physical assurance shall agree to furnish and install an approved load-limiting device which
shall be set and sealed by the Cooperative so that the member’s use of service will not exceed the member’s contracted
demand. The installed cost of the load limiting device shall be paid by the member.
