The Experimental Energy Reduction Program (EER): Program Features • The program hours are the 4 hour "super peak” in summer and winter • 2PM - 6 PM CDT May – September • 5 PM – 9 PM prevailing time January – April & October – December • The Customer must participate all 4 hours and at the same pledged demand • during each hour (minimum pledge is 150 kW). • Entergy’s posted price will be the same for all 4 hours. • Market Replacement Charges (penalties at a rate of 2 X posted prices) apply • for each kW that is 90% below pledged demand, measured during each • hourly interval. • Entergy provides the opportunity for a waiver from Market Replacement Charges, • through a “Relief From Operational Failure” provision (2 waivers per program period). • The waiver applies to the entire four hour period, and if exercised the customer also • forgoes the credit. • There are Maximum Energy Reduction Payments of 130% of pledged • demand. The customer receives no further credit after surpassing 130% of • their pledged energy reduction, also measured during each hourly interval.

The Experimental Energy Reduction Program (EER): How the EER Program Operates • Entergy implements EER by posting energy prices on a web page by 8:00 AM, • day-ahead of the proposed curtailment. The customer is notified to review the offer • via email, phone call, or fax. • The customer elects participation by pledging their demand reduction for all • four hours using the web interface, and must make the commitment by • 11:00 AM day-ahead. • Entergy provides confirmation no later than 10:00 AM, day-of. • The energy reduction is measured by comparing the previous normal • business day interval metering data within the program hours with the day-of • interval metering data for those same hours (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM or 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM). • Entergy will calculate the energy reduction credit / debit and will post the net • result on the customer’s bill, usually within the next available billing cycle.

The Experimental Energy Reduction Program (EER): Minimum Criteria To Participate • Customers wishing to participate must be willing to execute an Enabling Agreement with Entergy. • Customers must have interval metering at their site, or be willing to pay to have interval metering installed. • Customers will be asked to participate in a “fire drill” to determine the level of operational flexibility as needed to reduce electric loads by a minimum of 150 kW during all participating hours prior to an actual curtailment. • Participating accounts must be firm (i.e., interruptible load is not eligible to participate in EER) • The customer must have internet access, and be willing to pay any and all associated fees for this service. • If back-up generation is to be used, the customer must comply with Entergy distribution standards for wiring configuration.
