SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Generation Interconnection Agreement: A Generation
Interconnection Agreement with the customer is required for
service under this schedule. The customer must comply with
conditions and terms set forth by the City of Redding for the
safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the City
of Redding electrical system.
2 . Net EnerQv: Net energy is ES minus EF where ES is energy
supplied by the Utility and EF is energy generated by the
customer and fed back into the Utility's system at such times
as customer generation exceeds customer requirements. If the
net energy value resulting from the above computation is
positive, a monthly net energy charge shall be applied at the
rates specified above. If the calculation of net energy
yields a negative result, all such negative net energy shall
be considered net energy transmitted and shall be treated as
stated in Special Condition No. 3 below. The components of
net energy, ES and EF, shall be determined by the use of a
single, nondemand, nontime-differentiated meter. All
necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities
costs in addition to or in substitution for standard City
facilities that are required in order to take and sell power
through one meter socket will be at the customer's expense.

the cumulative value of EF exceeds the cumulative value of ES

to the average spot price the City of Redding pays for energy
during the applicable billing month. If the City of Redding
did not purchase spot energy during the applicable billing
month, then the relevant spot purchase price will be for the
most recent month during which the City made spot market
energy purchases.

tariff shall be the customary monthly billing period.

To the charges computed under the above rate, including any
adjustments, shall be added to the applicable proportionate part of
any taxes or governmental impositions which are or may in the
future be assessed on the basis of gross revenues of the City of

service sold and/or the volume of energy generated or purchased for
