FY 2020 ELECTRIC TARIFF General Service Application: Applies to all metered, non-residential secondary voltage electric service whose point of delivery is located within the limits of Austin Energy’s service territory. These rates apply to secondary voltage less than 12,470 volts nominal line to line. The rate tables below reflect rates with effective dates of May 1, 2020. Character of Service: Service is provided under these rate schedules pursuant to City Code Chapter 15-9 (Utility Service Regulations) and the City of Austin Utility Criteria Manual, as both may be amended from time to time, and such other rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the City of Austin. Electric service of one standard character will be delivered to one point of service on the customer’s premises and measured through one meter unless, at Austin Energy’s sole discretion, additional metering is required. Terms and Conditions: Customers shall permit Austin Energy to install all equipment necessary for metering and permit reasonable access to all electric service facilities installed by Austin Energy for inspection, maintenance, repair, removal, or data recording purposes. All non-kilowatt-hour charges under this are unaffected by the application of any rider All demand (kW) is referred to as “Billed kW” and shall be measured as the metered kilowatt demand during the fifteen-minute interval of greatest use during the billing month as determined by Austin Energy’s metering equipment and adjusted for power factor and load factor corrections. When power factor during the interval of greatest use is less than 90 percent, as determined by metering equipment installed by Austin Energy, the Billed kW shall be determined by multiplying metered kilowatt demand during the fifteen-minute interval of greatest use by a 90 percent power factor divided by the recorded power factor, rounded to the nearest hundredth, during the interval of greatest use. For example, the metered kilowatt demand during the fifteen-minute interval of greatest monthly use is 13.5 kW, and the power factor during the fifteen-minute interval of greatest monthly use is 86.7 percent; therefore, the Billed kW equals 14.0 kW (13.5 kW x 0.90 / 0.87 power factor). For information on other applicable rates (i.e., power supply adjustment, community benefit, and regulatory), please see corresponding schedules in this tariff (if applicable). For definition of charges listed below, see “Glossary of Terms” at the back of this tariff. Discounts: For any Independent School District, Military base as outlined in the Public Utility Regulatory Act §36.354, or State facilities, the monthly customer-, delivery-, demand-, and energy-charges billed pursuant to these rate schedules will be discounted by 20 percent; all other electric charges will be billed pursuant to these rate schedules and will not be discounted. Electric service provided to a “religious sanctuary,” a permanent or temporary building or facility that is primarily used for regular, organized group religious worship services that are open to the public, is eligible for the House of Worship Discount. To be eligible for the House of Worship Discount, a customer must be a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization for federal tax purposes and a tax-exempt religious organization under Sections 151.310, 156.102 and 171.058 of the Texas Tax Code. The House of Worship Discount is not available for electric © 2018 Austin Energy 5 FY 2020 ELECTRIC TARIFF service provided to any school, educational facility, community recreational facility, child care facility, dormitory, residence, lodge, parking facility, gymnasium, meeting hall, office or event center. For a customer eligible for the House of Worship Discount, Billed kW shall be the kilowatt demand during the fifteen-minute interval of greatest use during weekdays, excluding weekends, during the current billing month as determined by metering equipment installed by Austin Energy, adjusted for power factor as described above in Terms and Conditions. The customer’s total monthly electric charges billed pursuant to these rate schedules for service delivered to a religious sanctuary shall not exceed an amount equaling the billed kWh usage times the temporary transition cap rate specified below, but shall not be less than the applicable Customer Charge. The temporary transition cap rate shall adjust at the beginning of each fiscal year (October 1st) and the House of Worship Discount will terminate at the end of fiscal year 2020 (September 30, 2020), though Billed kW shall continue to be based upon weekday use. Effective Dates Transition House of Worship Rates ($/kWh) October 1, 2019 October 1, 2020 $0.14750 Expired If a customer is receiving service under a secondary voltage rate schedule with demand greater than 10kW, and the customer’s monthly load factor is below 20 percent, the Billed kW will be reduced to the value required to result in an effective load factor of 20 percent. Load factor is calculated as all energy consumption divided by Billed kW multiplied by number of hours within the billing month. For example, assuming a customer had energy consumption of 1,152 kWh, Billed kW of 16 kW, and 720 hours in the billing month, the load factor would be 10 percent [1,152 kWh ÷ (16 kW * 720 hours)]; therefore, to equal a 20 percent load factor the Billed kW would need to be reduced to 8 kW [1,152 kWh ÷ (20 percent load factor * 720 hours)]. Load factor is used only for determining a customer’s Billed kW, not a customer’s placement within the proper rate schedule and is calculated after the power factor adjustment. Rider Schedules: Service under these rate schedules is eligible for application of the GreenChoice® Rider, either Non- Demand or Demand Value-Of-Solar Riders, and Load Shifting Voltage Discount Rider. Customer receiving service under either the Non-Demand or Demand Value-Of-Solar Riders cannot combine services with the Load Shifting Voltage Discount Rider. Secondary Voltage (Demand less than 10 kW) These rates apply to any customer whose average metered peak demand for power during the most recent June through September billing months did not meet or exceed 10 kW, or unmetered small cell pole equipment attached to City of Austin property. If a customer has insufficient usage history to determine the appropriate rate schedule, Austin Energy will place the customer in the appropriate class. Demand data will be reviewed annually in October. Customers will be assigned to their appropriate class and will be charged the corresponding appropriate rates beginning on January 1. For each unmetered small cell pole equipment attached to City of Austin property, the daily billable energy consumption is 2.88 kWh per amperage (amp); therefore, you would multiple the daily billable energy consumption by the equipment amperage rating and days in the billing month. For example, assuming a small cell pole attachment has a 5-amp equipment rating and there are 30 days in the billing month, then the monthly billable energy consumption would be 432 kWh [5 amps * 2.88 kWhs * 30 © 2018 Austin Energy 6 FY 2020 ELECTRIC TARIFF days]. A ‘small cell pole equipment’ refers to small wireless communications equipment or distributed antenna systems used to receive or transmit radio frequencies for low-powered radio access nodes consisting of radios, radio transceivers, antennas, amplifiers, switches, repeaters, or other related component equipment.

If a customer has insufficient usage history to determine the appropriate rate schedule, Austin Energy will place the customer in the appropriate class. Demand data will be reviewed annually in October. Customers will be assigned to their appropriate class and will be charged the corresponding appropriate rates beginning on January 1. These rates shall apply for not less than twelve months following Austin Energy’s determination that customer’s average summer (June through September) metered peak demand level places customer in this rate class. The twelve-month requirement may be waived by Austin Energy if a customer has made significant changes in their connected load, which prevents the customer from meeting or exceeding the minimum-metered demand threshold of this rate schedule, and Austin Energy has verified these changes.
